Biography
In the Seventh Age of the Realm, Major Ruin's Elemental Sprite was located in the midst of a barren wasteland, where vegetation was scarce and water in short supply. Major Ruin's elemental powers ensured that cliffs stood firm against the tides and mountains pointed towards the heavens, keeping the towns and people who made their homes on these rocky peaks free from avalanches and other disasters. In battle, Major Ruin was able to pass through fire unscathed to reach his enemies-a common tactic of the Elves, who would trap their enemies in a circle of flame and use Major Ruin to deliver the finishing blow.[1]
