Famous Spellcasters: Dragon King Borys of Ebe

Name: Borys of Ebe
World: Athas aka "Dark Sun"
Spells: Dragon King Ritual
Artifacts: The Dark Lens, Psionic Orb.

Borys was one of many human students to study underthe First Sorcerer, Rajaat. Rajaat, was a pyreen who was the who discovered magic during the Green Age and founded the Pristine Tower. Borys was one of 15 students who were taught Defiling magic in addition to Preserver methods.

Borys, like the rest of 15 were powerful psionist in addition to sorcerers. Through a ritual at the Pristine Tower, Borys and the rest of the 15 became immortal by channeling the power of the sun. Rajaat commanded his champions to go forth and enact a cleansing war to restore Athas to the Blue Age, a period in which the world was covered mostly by water. Borys was the 13th Champion of Rajaat, and was tasked with being the butcher of dwarves.

However, the Champions were aware of Rajaat's madness and new of his duplicity when he wish to recreate the Blue Age. Halfling would remain the dominant species, and humans would serve them. Borys was the one who lead the revolt against Rajaat and imprisoned the mad Pyreen and his halfling guards deep with the Shadow Plane, in a place called the Hollow. There locked away by magic and psionics, the Cleansing Wars came to an end.

Borys then showed the remaining champions a ritual that would further elevate them to greater power. Each Champion was given a City-State to control within Borys new realm, and each Champion was taught a ritual to become a Dragon King.  However, unlike the other Champions he sacrificed himself to become a power unto Athas itself, and completed the full transformation to a Dragon. He reasoned that the Dark Lens would need a powerful protector to guard it and to ensure Rajaat wound never return. Borys went east and created his own city of Uth Draxa. However, Borys was killed by a Mul Gladiator, Rkard.
