History¶

Devro Ihb grew up in the Heartwood town of Kazzani, and rose to prominence in adulthood as a skilled sailor and captain of his own ship. He is known as a pirate, and seems to consider himself as such, but was mostly known for his exploration of the realm, not any kind of plundering or naval combat.

During this time, Ihb wrote a series of memoirs, the "Travels of Captain Ihb" series. His books became incredibly popular as adventure novels, especially with children, and Ihb became a celebrity figure. He wrote about his travels to plunder the pirates of Palisades Heath, re-discovering the land of Sahd, and attempting to find the remnants of Clan Xorha on the Island of Dawn.

Some time after settling down in Port Solitude following his career as a sailor and writer, Ihb received a personal summons from Emperor Anyr. The Emperor, impressed with the tales of the captain's prowess behind a ship, wished to recruit Ihb to be a pilot in the forces of Avsohm. Ihb accepted, and became an airship pilot with the Avsohmic military, taking him to even more faraway places.
