Orilo Stormrider is a goliath wizard who was exiled from her tribe for delving into dangerous magical experiments involving interplanar energy. Her husband Bjorn, refusing to abandon her, left the tribe with her. Together, they settled in a massive cave in the southern part of the northern mountains, where they built a four-tiered tower to live and conduct magical research.

Orilo is determined to uncover the secrets of interplanar magic and use it without limitations. Her mastery is reflected in her spells, which blend defense, control, and destructive power.

Although she tolerates the myconids living in the cave, she finds their presence unappealing. As long as they don’t interfere with her work, she lets them be, but the sight of their colony annoys her.

Currently, Orilo is focused on creating an artifact she calls the Storm Cauldron —a magical cauldron capable of harnessing the energy of storms. She finds the name amusing due to her surname “Stormrider” and the cauldron’s connection to storms.
