Rendi

A long time ago, Rendi was a simple wizard who owned a magic shop in the city of Anver. His shop was only mildly successful, as he never got the public endorsement of Leonardo Antelini. While cataloguing his stock of spell component, he accidentally held the two ingredients to the spell fireball and the spell was cast.

However, it didn't simplly go off, as it wasn't technically cast correctly. It was not big at all, only a couple inches wide, and unknown to anyone, it actually went off INSIDE the head of Rendi, causing damage to his brain.

He didn't seem to be able to get help for the wound, as he went crazy. The wounds most likely scarred over and he is past being healed, forever doomed to wander and mumble, reliving his last moments of sanity.

He encountered the party on the road to Anver and they were confused and disturbed by him. However, they got a brief glimpse that others didn't when the sun set and the amulet went off.

Rendi, sane again, approached their campfire and regaled them with a story of a recurring dream he has been having. This dream was the reality, what actually happened to him. But because the amulet changed reality, in this reality, he just dreams of that horrible life every night.

After the sun rose, Rendi went back to normal, and wandered off, forever crazy.
