Deep in a valley to the northwest of
Tremer, just outside of the
Aca Forest, there is rumored to be an underground complex of caves that has been converted into a base of operations by Goras Zumzumin. A sea-elf who sees themselves as a god, it is believed that many of the odd occurrences in the valley are their doing.
Gods? They are not gods. They are pretenders. Bow to me, the only true god!|Goras Zumzumin
History
Goras was born in a tribe of Sea-Elves from along the southeastern coast of Baduhm, south of the Kingdom of Orsholon – Region. Along the cliff faces and rocky outcroppings, the tribe had thrived for thousands of years before The Cataclysm[/history]. However, the events of the Cataclysm caused sea surface temperatures to drop, making survival for the tribe very difficult. The used their caves in the cliffs as a refuge, but conditions were harsh.
A band of elves set off to find another way to survive. They surmised that other caves, perhaps not on the sea-edge might also support them. Over time, this band discovered many caves carved by underground rivers that they found suitable. This band of elves, and their followers, began colonizing underground spaces, and now can be found throughout Arnathia.
Goras is a descendant of one of the bands of sea-elves that searched for a new home. But his childhood was not one of comfort or fulfillment. Instead, the tribe to which he belonged found a cave system in Orsholon to settle, but to their dismay, found that the region offered them little in the way of comfort. The caves were cold, with poor ventilation. There were not rushing rivers, but instead slow moving waters that had no significant life. So instead of being able to sustain them, many of these elves felt the caves were more like prisons.
Unused to having to support themselves with outside resources, the tribe began to cling together and built a disdain for those of the surface. In fact, this disdain turned into a defensive sense of superiority, believing that those of the surface could not endure the hardships they had themselves endured.
Over centuries, and through the pre-Cataclysm development of personal magic abilities, a few of the tribe became powerful users of magic in their own right. Goras displayed a significant aptitude in the use of magic, and over time has used it to rise in the ranks of the tribe and take control. In fact, the skills have been sufficient to allow them to assume the role of tribal leader. Goras’ skills have gone to their head, however, and Goras considers themselves a god, and any other gods worshipped are false, and inferior.

Goras is genuinely uninterested in carnal activities, again because they see themselves as above those activities and that none are worthy of them.
