For several cycles Corim toured the tournament circuit, using his winnings to further his studies and finance his treasure hunting. In the various tournament towns he would tell stories, pass along information, and teach on various subjects making him known as a kind of pseudo-bard.

As a solo adventurer he was moderately successful, not easily able to penetrate deeply into the wild lands without the support of an entire exploration group. All of the magic items in his personal arsenal are the result of those explorations. Corim's solo treks in the wilderness were sharply curtailed when he ran afoul of a large and rather irritable green dragon. The creature did it's best to eat him but soon found his sharp sword and tournament honed strength made him a rather unpalatable meal. The encounter left scars on the fighter that will not be soon forgotten.

One of Corim's unusual abilities is his unusually strong metapathic talent. Metapaths, like empaths, can sense the emotions of others, however metapaths actually manipulate the emotions and mental states of others around them. Corim comes into this ability unusually late in life, and the first manifestations of the talent are raw and uncontrolled. When unfocused, this talent can evoke an instinctive hostile reaction in the creatures it touches. This caused Corim quite some trouble until Cassin Kel'Ishtauri Felspar and Annawen Kel'Ishtauri Felspar help him get the ability under control.

Not long after the dragon incident, Corim decided to take root and formalize his scholarly studies. He heard that the Falorian academy for warriors paid its instructors well and decided that it would make a good substitute for constantly wandering from kingdom to kingdom pursuing the various tournaments. With his tournament record in hand he set out to qualify for the coveted 7th circle teaching position.

It was in the school that he made the acquaintance of Ceraph, Talorian Falor's Elf talent scout. Due to the effects of Corim's metapathic ability, Ceraph becomes infatuated with him. It is also around this time that Corim has an encounter with Beia Targallae. It is shortly thereafter that Corim becomes involved with Meridian Arcturan and the Death Spectacles.

A combination of good looks, gentlemanly propriety, and metapathic talent makes Corim an unintentional lady's man. He becomes involved with Ceraph, catches the eye of Annawen Felspar, and even gets the ancient belkirin Dulcere to notice him. It is Dulcere who Corim falls in love with, other entanglements aside. The young man's troubles do not end there. In the pursuit of Meridian, and his attempt to avenge the "death" of his friends that Corim chases down Rakaar Steelsheen. On the Baronian's starship Corim encounters and frees the war-mage's battle-nurse Senalloy. After the combat which takes Rakaar's life, but seriously injures Corim, Senalloy sets her eyes and Desires on him. Eventually, the Baronian's forward and lascivious behavior becomes a wedge between Corim and Dulcere.

By the end of the events in Shaladen Chronicles: A Knot In Time Corim has been indoctrinated into the ranks of the Shael Dal, and has been temporarily given protectorate enforcer beta status in the wake of Aarlen Frielos' breakdown. Aarlen's mental patterns have taken residence in Corim's body, and the Shaladen Stellaraac now answers his call...

Megan was once the personal second of the pantheon lord Ukko. As an air-maiden she upheld the Valkur law and represented the ranks of the 'ascendants' sect of Valkyries (the 'chosen' serve the pantheon lord Odin, Ukko's brother). However, during a period of time when Dorian Degaba Felspar and Thamara Narrimar Tarrantil were doing duties for Ukko at the behest of Bertram Tarrantil they became aware of certain "abuses" going on between Ukko and the Ascendants-- particularly in the case of Megan and also her close friend and colleague Adwena.

Due to the abuses she witnessed, Dorian tried to convince Megan and Adwena to leave Ukko. Megan having served the lord for millennia was of course loyal to him. Ukko got wind of Dorian's attempts to persuade the two Ascendants away from him and in truly arrogant fashion made statements to the effect of 'owning' the Ascendants, and Megan and Adwena in particular. His behavior worsened, and more and more light was shown on how little freedom the air-maiden's truly had even though lip-service had been given to them being a part of Vanir pantheon.

Because of the pressure of these new happenings, and some truly brutal fallout as a result of the specters that Dorian had uncovered, Megan was eventually persuaded to leave. For some time, she and Dorian were very close, especially in the inconsolable times shortly after she chose to break from Ukko. The two of them gradually grew apart because Megan wanted a monogamous relationship, and a more committed partner.

Megan finally got her wish when Koass Vinax proposed to her in 1087. They are finally married in 1089. Megan has two children with Dorian, Ralani who Dorian foathrad, and Silvia who Megan foathrad. Megan remains close to the Felspar clan, and her children school with the other clan children. Her daughter Ralani is particularly regarded amongst the children for her leadership qualities.
