Personal History
Pacrooti's egg was found by a wizard named Ommin, in the woodlands at the foot of the Ashtaali Mountains. He took the egg home to care for it, and it hatched later that day. Ommin cared for Pacrooti as best he could. He taught Pacrooti a lot about alchemy, and Pacrooti figured out how to cast spells through the medium of alchemy. Ommin owned a black cat named Smoky who tried to eat Pacrooti for the first year of his life, but thankfully Ommin was vigilant and didn't let that happen. Both Smoky and Ommin died in their sleep, Smoky in Ommin's lap as they relaxed together in bed. Pacrooti found them in the morning and buried them before collecting basic supplies and leaving for the little town he could see from the tallest window in the tower. To Oakenvale.

Trivia
During the Quest "The Tower in the Mountains" players can find 5 entries of Ommin's journal scattered throughout the dungeon. They read as following:

Entry 1 - Today has certainly turned out unlike any other, walking in the woods as I do everyday to collect mushrooms from the forest I came across a patch of Disturbed Earth close to the dead oak tree on the opposite side of the river. I put down my basket and investigated the disturbed earth only to discover an egg had been buried there. On closer inspection I realised it was a Kenku egg, specifically a Raven type. Seems that those books on ornithology weren't a waste of reading after all. After dusting it off I had a look around the area to see if I could locate its mother but it was probably to no avail, as I could feel it was getting quite cold. I took it upon myself to take it back to the tower and warm it. If it was still alive I wasn't about to let it perish. I am now resting in my armchair by the fire in my room writing as the egg sits on my lap in a nice blanket I haven't wanted to stay warm. As I study its pale blue exterior I can't help but wonder what is to come if the small life inside comes to be.

Entry 2 - I do believe this is the longest I have gone without writing in this journal but the last few days have been hectic to say the least. The Kenku egg I found in the wood hatched the morning after I found it into a healthy chick. He seems to be a Raven type; as I expected him to be. He can't stand or move very much or even open his eyes yet so I am having to play the role that his mother would, feeding him, watering him, cleaning him and comforting him. It has been very exhausting on these old bones but I have to admit I feel a strange sense of accomplishment and righteousness from caring for him despite how unforgiving it has been. I've been unable to settle on a name but I have been calling him Pacrooti for now as it seems to be the only thing he responds to at all. As of writing this, he is curled up asleep in a makeshift nest I have made out of a large wooden bowl and the blanket I wrapped his egg in. Studying him he looks like a fleshy tea bag but in a cute way. I suppose it will probably be a few weeks before he gets his feathers. As it's not just me living in this old tower anymore and I have more than just myself to be responsible for perhaps it's time I stop putting off putting up some sort of Defence on the tower in case of bandits or other undesirable creatures, perhaps the mother was absent for a good reason? Some of the scenarios running through my head are quite sad when I think about what could have happened to her and why she would have left her egg behind, but I digress. Tomorrow after Pacrooti goes to sleep I will start putting charms in place to animate the suits of armour around the tower should an intruder enter. I’ll need to keep Smoky in the upper floors so he doesn’t set any of them off.

Entry 3 - all of the enchantments are in place on the suits of armour now, although it was a lot more finicky than I had initially anticipated. Animating armour is some of the most time consuming enchanting that I know of, but I suppose it's worth it for peace of mind. The suits of armour now say good morning to me whenever I pass them, even if it isn't morning. I can't help but chuckle to myself at this unexpected development and I think I will keep it this way for now anyway. Poor old Smoky is having a terrible week, he absolutely hates the new and improved suits of armour as they scare him every time he walks past by talking and it seems he's taken offence at our new guest. I have not allowed him to eat Pacrooti, no matter how much he tries. Oh Smoky, don't ever change, you old fart of a cat. After completing my work on the suits of armour it's got me thinking that maybe there is more than one way to secure the tower if ever I was gone for a long period of time, the armour can only do so much and if I was gone I wouldn't want my belongings stolen or broken. I'm currently reading a very fascinating book on protective wards and portals. I can't really say I'm a fan of any sort of dark magic but this book talks about possible traps that can open doorways to the nine hells if a doorway ward is triggered. If there was a way I could contain it or deactivate it remotely this could be excellent protection. There are some artifacts and books in this old Tower that I would never ever want to fall into the wrong hands and it would be remiss of me not to protect them adequately.

Entry 4 - I do believe it's been over a week since I've written and I'm glad to feel a quill in my hand once again as I take up this old journal once more. There have been a lot of thoughts I have wanted to write down but some things are more important I suppose. Young Pacrooti has started to get his first few feathers on his arms and head. He still isn't a pretty sight but I must admit he's growing on me. Sometimes I forget how lonely it can be up here and his presence has been of great comfort. Unfortunately there's only so much company a cat can do, sorry Smoky. Work on the portal in the basement went a lot smoother than I anticipated and everything has been set should the tower be breached by anything or anyone. I have managed to link the portal to a runestone located on a necklace I am now wearing so thankfully if the portal does open I can close it whenever I wish by saying an incantation to the stone. If what the book said is true this should close the portal and kill anything that came through. It has started to snow outside as I am writing this, as I look out through the window to the pond below it is a beautiful sight as the snowflakes fall onto the still water, I will have to go and collect some more wood in the morning to make sure we have adequate supply if the snow gets heavy, or perhaps it would be wise to look up how to cast a globe of some kind around the tower and surrounding area to keep it warm, I guess we will see tomorrow.

Entry 5 - it's been about 3 days since my last entry and things have been going very well indeed. The globe I cast around my tower is up and working well, all the anchor points for it have been secured around the property. Carving the runes into the stone obelisks was rather cathartic, although I was quite tired after carving and enchanting all four. I don't have as much energy as I used to, it seems. I'm glad i no longer have to run from the mage hunters, as I doubt my body would deal with that very well anymore. It's hard to believe it's my 78th birthday this coming week, it feels like it's only been a day since I escaped but yet it's been nearly 6 decade's… I must admit I’m lost for words as I ponder that. On that same note I do believe one of my oldest friends - Owayn Kamika - is due to arrive here in a few days. I should get some cockroaches and rabbits for him when he arrives, he's always in need of a decent meal when he arrives. The journey here isn't exactly forgiving especially in this weather, I hope he's ok. I must remember to deactivate the portal trap on that day, I wouldn't want him to be greeted by a bunch of demons looking for a cup of sugar to borrow.
