Razial is an assassin fated to champion the god Eloh's servants. This is disheartening to the Oder of the Flame, who serves Eloh especially since Razial is a member of the Society and raised by Goraan- a leader of the Society, who is an elf believed to be in league with the Harbingers a secretive group feared by those who serve Eloh and by those who serve the rival god Rakaar.
