Biography:
Rendarr grew up in a small Neera village in Chidokai forest, and those around him soon found he had an unhealthy taste for adventure. No matter how much they attempted to persuade the young Neera to lie low and live an ordinary life, he simply didn't listen. This went on until on one of his little adventures he managed to catch the attention of a group of lost and hungry Neko merchants.

By solid luck Rendarr was one of the few Neeras left alive after the Nekos found his village, but he found himself separated from the others and homeless. Alone and with the destruction of his home village fresh in his mind, Rendarr began to develop the necessary skills to survive as he salvaged what he could from his home. Eventually, there was nothing else to find, and the now fairly well-aged Neera journeyed out into the forest.

Rendarr's luck continued to hold, however (though he had a few close scrapes), and he eventually found an ancient tomb. Scouting out the human-sized entranced, he found the place to be abandoned. As he continued deeper, he found out why - there simply wasn't anything in there. It was safe from predators, however, so the Neera continued to explore it.

After a few hours of slowly but steadily scouting the tomb, Rendarr hit a jackpot - a massive stone golem sat in a large throne in a positively gigantic amphitheater. Well, at the time he didn't realize the golem wasn't active (or a living being with a digestive tract), so naturally he dove for the nearest cover. After a time he realized it wasn't even breathing, and so he cautiously approached it.

Climbing up the vast stone structure (well, for him, at least), Rendarr found a couple rather small crystals lying in its lap. Curious, the Neera picked one of the valuable stones up, but dropped it as it suddenly lit up. After a moment to catch his breath, Rendarr picked it up again, and watched as the crystal warmed to his touched and glowed a little. He also felt a slight tug, as if the crystal was being pulled toward something. With nothing better to do, and thoroughly mystified by this magical crystal, Rendarr followed the tug - upwards.

At the top, the Neera found that the golem had two empty eye sockets, roughly the right size for the crystals he had managed to haul up the stone structure. Fitting the crystals in, Rendarr wasn't sure what to do as the golem began to awaken. Its crystalline eyes began to glow a little brighter, and then stone lids descended over them for a moment. A second later, the golem opened it's eyes and looked over at the tiny perched on it's shoulder. It had awoken fully.

Of course, being under the gaze of such a giant terrified Rendarr. The Neera literally leapt off the machine, since he’d only seen beings of such size devour his kind. However, the golem simply caught Rendarr in mid-air in a surprising show of speed for both its size and age. Lifting the tiny up to its face, it parted its vast stone lips… and spoke.

“I am Durnen, and thou art mine little master.”

The stone monster bowed its head to Rendarr, and the Neera found himself shocked into silence.

-----

Needless to say, the two have journeyed far and had several adventures. However, on their latest trip Durnen began to go astray, simply saying that he was being drawn by something. In no time at all the Neera and golem found themselves in an extremely dangerous predicament - trapped in the Forest of Illusions.
