Cyrdak Drokkus

Cyrdak Drokkus is Sandpoint's most famous resident, and the owner of its theatre. A celebrated playwright and poet, Drokkus left the high life in Magnimar after a personal scandal which few know the details of. Once a resident at Magnimar's Triodea Theatre, Drokkus left the city unexpectedly and in unknown circumstances, also losing his position in the Triodea. While rumours abound about the cause, the only agreed upon fact is that it had something to do with his sexuality. Drokkus spent a few years travelling before settling in Sandpoint, opening his theatre, and setting about building an establishment which could rival even the Magnimar theatres.

Cyrdak is now married to the former paladin Sir Jasper Korvas, although he initially made a loose attempt at concealing this relationship in order to avoid the scorn of the bigoted Scarnetti family. In recent years Drokkus has begun to care less and less about public perception, even venturing back to Magnimar to stage plays on occasion.

Cyrdak acts as guardian to his hedonistic nephew Cicero. For a year Cyrdak allowed Cicero to have the run of his manor in Magnimar, but after learning about the self-destructive behaviour that Cicero was engaging in, dragged the young fop back to Sandpoint in an attempt to set him back on the right track.

Cyrdak has written several of Varisia's most well-known and loved plays, including: Cyrdak also wrote the best selling book of poetry to have been published in Magnimar in the past decade, That I Might Burn for You, a series of melancholy but romantic poems.
 * The Trials of Elhaz, the tale of a Tiefling slave escaping bondage in Cheliax and finding safety in the Church of Abadar.
 * The Powdered Prince, the tale of a young man who is seduced by a mysterious noblewoman, who is eventually revealed to be a Vampire.
 * The Harpy Queen, a love story about a pirate and the harpy war leader he fell for.
 * Winter, a tale in which two friends make major discoveries about themselves and eachother while trapped during a blizzard.

Cyrdak's Theatre was destroyed by a Red Dragon during the raid on Sandpoint in 4708 AR, a serious blow to the playwright.
