Rill the Taciturn

Rill the Taciturn was a controversial gnome philosopher whose career peaked in the year 392 CE. Shortly after that, he died of mysterious circumstances.

Born in Koptya, he rose to prominence in Molto Rathi following his formal education there.

He set out to defend 900 theses of philosophy and religion, but was despised by cult leaders. His panentheist views were too much even for his supporters at times, and he had many enemies. Hence, when he died of a sudden acute stomach ailment, many were accused and there was insufficient evidence to determine who was responsible.

Still, artists and musicians were inspired by him during his life and he became a hero of the renaissance of culture at the time. Even now, hundreds of years later, bards enjoy singing about him.
