Raghat Soot-Spitter

Raghat, Son-of-Rughal, known to men as Soot-Spitter, (commonly referred to simply as Raghat Soot-Spitter) was an Elgorian sorcerer, known throughout the magical community for his contributions to the study of The Web.

Early Life
Raghat was born to Rughal and an unknown Elgorian woman (some have speculated that Raghat's mother may have been a human or an elf, but these theories are largely rejected). Rughal was an Elgorian mercenary, travelling across Moriata. Raghat was raised partially by a young sorceress named Sithal, who noticed the boy's innate talent at magic, particularly fire-magic. Sithal taught Raghat basic spellcasting. At the age of 12, Raghat's father was murdered by a drunk during a bar fight in The Spire, and the young Elgorain was forced out on to the streets (Sithal had previously been captured by theocratic forces guard).

Apprenticeship
Raghat traveled to the Mage's College in The Spire. At first, he was turned away due to his race, but was eventually accepted after demonstrating his talent at magic. Raghat was trained by Marsen, a Sorcerer employed by the College. Marsen trained Raghat to suppress his natural anger and channel it into his magic. When the college came under attack by enemy forces, Raghat failed to save the life of Marsen.

Teacher and Rescue of Sithal
At the age of 19, Raghat left The Spiral and returned to Elgor. He convinced Rangaal Thraan to allow him to train young magic-adept Elgorians. When Hobgoblin raiders attacked, Raghat was taken captive. Here, he was reunited with Sithal, who had been taken captive herself months prior. Raghat freed the captives and killed the Hobgoblin raiders. He and Sithal soon married in a traditional Elgorian marriage. Sithal would bear Raghat a child, Narvak, before her death of illness 10 years later.

The Twelve Observations
Mourning the loss of his beloved, Raghat locked himself in a fortress and began writing. He had begun to dream of The Web, and identified it based on the writings of previous mages. Raghat began to write twelve observations of the web based on his dreams, but did not publish his writings. They were not found until long after Raghat's disappearance, and were dismissed as drug-induced ramblings.

Dissapearence
At the age of 32, Raghat disapeared. His last known words were to his young son. They were "I may not return. If that is the case, I want you to know that I wish strength upon you and your descendants."

Legacy
Raghat contributed greatly to the secretive study of The Web. Now, he is remembered by the public as a minor historical figure, the first Elgorian to join the Mage's College.
