His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the island due to the painful memories there. Thamuz took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up shield and armor he uses now. Days after completing his studies, news broke out that his hometown was attacked by gnolls.
