	By the time of Firan's adolescence, Quantarius was a powerful and respected wizard in Knurl, although the [[ruler]] of Knurl despised wizards and [[arcane magic]].

	In 246 [[CY]], Firan and Corsalus botched a fiend [[summoning]] ritual, resulting in [[Irik Zal'honan (Brother)]]'s [[possession]] and partial [[transformation]] into a horrible monster. Firan demanded they go to Quantarius for help, but Corsalus in his [[pride]] refused. Firan threw a [[geas]] upon him, and thus they went to Quantarius' doorstep. Quantarius gathered his things, and they (minus Corsalus, ~~whom~~ ran off into the night) went back to save Irik. Although he had botched the ritual, Firan impressed Quantarius enough for him to consider making him an apprentice after everything was ~~through~~. Unfortunately, the desperate ritual to save Irik was interrupted by Turalitan and his men, ~~whom~~ attacked and were attacked by the now almost totally demonic Irik.

	Turalitan blamed Quantarius and banished him from the realm. Quantarius fled to [[Eastfair]] and set up operations there. After he recovered from an illness said to be ~~the~~ [[punishment]] from the [[god]]s, Firan in protest [[abandoned]] his family and went to Eastreach to become Quantarius' apprentice.

Before he left, Firan insisted that Quantarius accept a gift, a seemingly ordinary [[apple]]. To Quantarius' surprise, the apple rejuvenated him and made him young, adding [[year]]s to his life. Horrified, Quantarius said he could not accept the gift, for the rejuvenation had come at the cost of life drained from many of Firan's enemies on the battlefield. Firan explained the magic was already performed and that he could not reverse it. Thus what was supposed to be a day of celebration became one of solemnity and distancing.
