History
Origins
Ronan was born in the country of Jin'waith, and eventually appeared at the isles of Arkaz washed up on shore. On Nuvar, he ended up at the Nuvar School of Magic, teaching lessons; eventually he became the Archmage of the School. During that time it seems he was studying magic under a powerful necromancer named Jarmanis. After Jarmanis ascended to godhood, Ronan left Nuvar for the city of Visimontium.
Avlis
Upon arrival to Visimontium, Ronan became invested in the assistance of Blandenburg and M'chek against the individual known as Marko Deadheart, an ex-priest of Dagath who sought to create a 'deathstone'. Somewhat after Marko's defeat, he joined the Ebony Order of the Moon.
During the attacks by the shadow Tanasi and spiritkin sieges on Elysia, Ronan became a temporary caretaker to Elysia's graveyard. When the lifestone nearby was threatened with annihilation he called upon an army of the dead to rise and fight off the coal dragons and monsters that threatened it. Although he was after banished from the graveyard, after many years the banishment was lifted.
Ronan is known to have become involved in the matters of the Spiritkin. He bonded to a Spiritkin known as Pride. Long after many of the Spiritkin had fallen, Pride became altered by Desire and attacked several nations with hordes of undead. Ronan along with a task force tracked her down after each attack, and he sealed her away for a time. When the two reappeared together in public, Pride was herself again.
