Backstory
K'ryen Swallowsong is copper Dragonborn. Originally from Tarabon, his family was fairly well known in the region as his grandfather was a bard of some renown. After his grandfather, his mother left behind the life of a successful spinner of songs and tales, to become a humble dyer and worker of textiles.

K'yren while young was targeted by other children who knew of his grand father and saw the family moving away from such a path as disappointing and even shameful. K'yren was mocked and ridiculed by the  children. "You're family aint smart enough to sing no more ain't it?" they would jeer questioning the intelligence of not only K'yren but his family. Cut to the core by these insults K'yren would fight but it never did any good. Finally he resolved to show everyone that he was just as smart if not smarter than everyone around him. He was instilled with an insatiable hunger to learn as much as he could and became fascinated with learning.

He left home and has been working as a hired hand and sometimes muscle. While in Tear he found an old tome which he bought and took to his lodging. Whilst reading he was forced out of his body and sent in blackness. He felt millions of miles away alone and cold, drifting. Until he felt a presence engulf him. This was his first encounter with his patron. In what K'yren  assumed was a dream he bartered with this presence to obtain more power, the thing obliged.

K'yren woke and assumed it was a fanciful dream brought about by the tome. While working as muscle for a lord, a would be assassin attacked without thinking about it K'yren used power within him that was not there previously. The assassin fell over cackling uncontrollably and was escorted away continuing to laugh. What was this power? Why did it feel so good? K'yren wants to find out more about his power and how to control it.
