History
As a child, Medrash was timid and weak, a shame for his clan. In his youth, he saw Torm in dreams, exhorting him to push his limits. Craving for something that would gave a sense of purpose to his life, Medrash began to follow his dreams, and joined the military forces of Tymanther, eventually becoming one the finest warriors of Clan Daardendrien. In one of his journeys, he came across a temple of Torm and recognized the statues of the god. He asked the tormites to train him as a paladin, and they accepted. Clan Daardendrien didn't expelled him due to his reverence of a god because they saw his abilities as a paladin useful.

In 1479 DR, Medrash was sent to Luthcheq as member of a diplomatic party sent to assist ambassador Perra, when a vision from Torm alerted him to an evil presence that was committing murders. He helped the Brotherhood of the Griffon track down and expose the killers as abishai disguised as dragonborn. Soon after, the Tymantheran diplomatic delegation was kicked out of Chessenta and Medrash was forced to return to Tymanther.

During the travel back home, a topaz taaldarax (one of the players of Brimstone's xorvintaal) attacked Perra and her delegation, but with the help of Balasar, Khouryn Skulldark, and his men, the dragonborn were able to drive away the dragon.

Upon arriving in Tymanther he found his native land under attack by ash giants from the Black Ash Plain. Medrash, Balasar and Khouryn led a small unit of Lance Defenders in an expedition to investigate the giants motives, but they were overwhelmed. As they fled, the encountered members of the Platinum Cadre in an operation to exterminate ash giants, and seeing what the followers of Bahamut were capable of, they joined them until they returned to Djerad Thymar.

Altough Patrin tried to teach him that his mistrust toward the Platinum Cadre was unfounded, and that Bahamut and Torm were allies, Medrash didn't wanted to believe the Loyal Fury was an ally of a dragon.
