Background Information
Slaplen is from the township of Prenth in Anorad (making him an Anoradian, by nationality). His parents are Amren and Stelis Eremore, the owners and proprietors of the Eremore Emporium and Wonderworks. They were successful and popular, though their reputation and profits both took a hit after Slaplen was born and especially as he came of age. People would often whisper--and often so you the Slaplen could hear--about his cursed family, or wonder aloud which one of his parents was tainted with demon-filth, or even that Slaplen's mother opened her legs for Mephistopheles himself.

Slaplen's parents, for their part, took it all in stride and used every barb or stinging rumor to teach him a lesson in turning the other cheek and taking the high road, especially when others choose to lower themselves into the muck with insults and gossip. Even so, despite the excellent example Slaplen's parents--as well as his sister, Telis Eremore, for that matter--provided, he could not help but be affected by the talk, by the looks, and by the naked contempt he felt from the other townspeople.

Once Slaplen was of age, he left Prenth in search of a sense of purpose or belonging. He soon encountered a mystic order called the Black Fens, located in the desolate marshland that lies north of Anorad. They called themselves the Chosen of Zazobal, and they welcomed Slaplen with more or less open arms, most believing that a Tiefling was a favorable sign that they were serving well their dark master. Even those that did not think his arrival to be some kind of omen assumed that at the very least Zazobal would approve of his presence in the cult. Only one or two showed any sign of mystic power, with the conspicuous exception of the group's leader. Her name was Murani, and she was nothing if not charismatic; exotic--even hypnotic--she was everything that the rest of the cult members aspired to be. And she took an immediate interest in Slaplen, seeing at once his potential to become one of Zazobal's favorite children. For several months, Slaplen found yourself intoxicated by the cabal and its secret rites, the power he discovered, and by Murani herself...

Even so, not long after meeting Krusk and becoming his friend and confidante, Slaplen regained some sense of himself--that is, the person that his parents raised him to be. It was his influence more than anything else that pulled him from the Chosen--but he took Zazobal with him, for he offers power and respect. Besides, Slaplen isn't sure if he could renege on the dark bargain he made, even if he wanted to.
