Three months after the beginning of Project Deathwatch, Souriin’s familiar – the owl Archimedes – died, throwing the mage into a deep coma. He was assisted by Lord Flash – an elven adventuring companion from Souriin’s earlier years – who brought a healing potion to Deathwatch Isle. Once Souriin recovered, a new familiar had arrived to take Archimedes place. This creature, which Souriin has named “Muspell”, is a jet-black raven.
