"I am The Rover: a thief in the night, a dissent in the rabble, mischief in the flesh. I've lived a thousand lives; here to stir the conventions of mortals. Valhalla won't have me, and the fires of the forge of hell will not have my mischief in their midst. And though you kill me today, I'll be back in a fortnight, and I'll be here again to tear through the veil of the universe and reveal the truth. I am The Rover." -Unknown thief put to death in the early winter of 190 AR, Westenford, Amasynia

The Rover is said to be the second Dragon that The Diem created in The Forge. A grand, silver being, he inhabited the earth for thousands of years before imparting his wisdom to an old man who stumbled upon his lair deep in the Spinster Mountains. The Diem, upset with his creation for divulging secrets and interfering in the lives of mortals, cast The Rover out of Valhalla and sentenced him to an eternity on earth as a mortal, dying and being reincarnated over and over. Since then, The Rover, mostly unaware of his own history, has roamed the mortal realm causing mischief and mayhem at the bequest of his subconscious soul.

Most practitioners of the Draeconach faith consider The Rover an integral piece of their beliefs, because without him they would be unaware of the existence of the true god and therefore less likely to join him in Valhalla.
