The Crimson Trio

The Crimson Trio were three human spellweavers clad in deep crimson robes, each possessing extraordinary magical prowess. The trio consisted of a wizard named Spiritus, a warlock named Filius, and a druid named Pater. Soon after the organization of The Crimson Trio in the midst of The Lich King reign, the lich learned of their power and attempted to remove the spellweavers from the equation by employing a mind flayer colony to take them out of the picture. But unfortunately for the lich, the mind flayers decided they could do better than just killing each of them, which opened the possibility of Johnny and the Jets recovering them.

The three were vital to the downfall of The Lich King, as they were the ones who prevented the lich from escaping, helped Johnny and the Jets enter the lich's pocket dimension, and permanently removed the lich's ability to use magic. The three then sealed the lich away in his pocket dimension where he spent the rest of his immortal life.

Spiritus Ingward
654 AG - 932 AG

Spiritus was the wizard of the three, and spent a majority of his life learning how to manipulate the world around him using magic. He work near the king of Khiba as the royal weaver, and when the lich king rose to power, he sought out the power of other powerful weavers in order to participate in taking the lich down.

Soon after gathering and organizing the Crimson Trio, Spiritus was petrified and captured by a merchant from the city, who had been gifted an imprisoned medusa by the colony of mind flayers sent to eliminate him. The merchant petrified several people and then magically shrunk them, and sold them as masterfully crafted figurines. Spiritus was saved by Johnny and the Jets, who discovered the merchant, then tracked down the wizard, who had been sold to a noblemen.

Upon imprisoning the lich, Spiritus took the pocket dimension to The Sunken City and took root in a tower. He converted the tower to a wizard's tower with 100 floors, and spent his life watching over the city and ensuring that the lich would never escape. Spiritus secluded himself and devoted himself to this task. So when he died, no one knew until The Rainbow Raiders braved the many floors of his tower and discovered his body.

Filius Creed
667 AG -

Filius was the warlock of the three, who was captured by the mind flayer colony themselves, who believed that the warlock may have some connection to their god. This was incorrect, but the warlock acted as if it were not in order to stall for time, allowing Johnny and the Jets enough time to wipe out most of the colony and save him.

Filius lived out what should have been the natural duration of his life, before discovering that his patron would not allow him to die, and was kept alive in order to fulfill the patron's evil purposes. Sick of seeing those close to him dying, and slowly being forced to give in to the patron's evil ideologies. So he traveled the world's hubs of knowledge in search for a way to finally move on. This search brought him to Eden, the City in the Sky.

Pater Harold
651 AG - 999 AG

Pater was the druid of the three, he had been captured by the mind flayers and had his left eye replaced by a tiny, tentacled creature that had burrowed itself into the druid's brain and taken control of his body. The parasite forced him to call upon the creatures of the forest and attack nearby villages without reason. Johnny and the Jets were able to remove the parasite and return the druid's lucidity without destroying his brain.

After fulfilling his role, Pater traveled across Amaref to ensure the lich's influence had been confined to Khiba alone. A few years later, he returned to Khiba and settled down within a forest. He made it known that he lived there so that others could come to him seeking help if they wished. The druid found purity in nature and sought to bring himself closer to it, and with a combination of will and magic, Pater become more and more tree-like. Eventually he became a full tree and rooted into the ground, soon after, the town of Skafold was erected around him.

The years went by in the blink of an eye for Pater, who soon witnessed the slaughtering of nearly all the residents of this city twice. Pater did not wish to sit amongst the ruins and corpses of the once lively city, so when The Rainbow Raiders found him in this state, he asked them to travel beneath the city to find and still his beating heart, which had been pushed underground with his roots. The party fulfilled his wish and gave him a quick and peaceful death.
