Zeno Basilius

Zeno Basilius (born 18 Highsun 10m 240 a.s.) is a half-elven explorer and cleric of Fharlanghn.

Born in Corfen, Zeno left home at a relatively young age to sail the seas. After being shipwrecked, he joined the clergy of Fharlanghn. In continued explorations, he was teleported across the seas by Ke-Kara-Thar, the Great Storm. Eventually finding his way home, he later encountered Ashe Adelantus and Princess Lorylai Vuuvuxath. He is currently captain of The Endless Road and is assisting his companions in finding what they’ve lost.

Early Life
Zeno was born to bakers in Corfen, but as the second of three children, he was never expected to take over the family business. From a young age he delighted in meeting new people and spending time near the water.

On the first of Firemoot, 255 a.s., Zeno boarded the Dragon Turtle’s Bounty, a merchant vessel heading towards Kyorehn City. While on their journey, however, the Bounty ran afoul of a storm and was destroyed upon reefs near Caldera Island. The crew was mostly saved by nearby tritons, who left them on Crescent Island. The lighthouse keeper, Warwick of Fharlanghn, took care of them and cast a Sending for a boat to rescue the crew. Zeno, seeing the rescue as a sign from the gods, stayed with Warwick to receive training as a cleric.

Zeno stayed with Warwick for 18 months before setting out on the traditional Great Pilgrimage.

Seastrider and the Long Voyage Home
Zeno arrived on Charter 14 Frostmoot 257 looking for a ship to accompany while on his Great Pilgrimage. There, he found his former shipmate, Marcos “the Rat”  Thalius, who was looking for crew for his new ship, the Seastrider. Zeno was signed on as quartermaster, and the crew set out for prospective loot on the mainland. Marcos was certain that they would find easy pickings and return to Charter rich.

When the Seastrider approached the Chain of Foreboding, they encountered a freak storm. After several hours of battling strong winds and large waves, the perpetrator of the storm appeared, Ke-Kara-Thar, the Great Storm. Zeno called upon the mercy of Fharlanghn, and in a blink the Seastrider was transported across the ocean.
