Dorukan was a wizard. He was the last member to join of the Order of the Scribble, a party of adventurers determined to seal the rifts in reality created by the Snarl.

Biography

Start of Darkness

Order of the Scribble

Along with Serini Toormuck, Kraagor, Girard Draketooth, Lirian and Soon Kim, he successfully sealed the 5 rifts in the fabric of the universe. In one instance, near the northern polar cap, Dorukan had to seal a rift while Kraagor was directly engaged with the Snarl, presumably causing the dwarf's demise.

Dungeon of Dorukan

When the Order disbanded Dorukan guarded the gate in the Redmountain Hills, using powerful spells and sigils that could only be used by those "pure of heart" as well as building a castle with a deep dungeon to protect the gate. He possessed a Talisman designed to "herd" all the obsolete 1st and 2nd Edition monsters into the vault.

Dorukan was romantically involved with Lirian, with whom he developed the spells to create the gates. He left an exception to his Cloister spell so that he could summon her.

Two years before the Order of the Stick entered the dungeon, Dorukan hired Celia to guard the Air Sigil.

6 months before the Order of the Stick entered the Dungeon, Dorukan was goaded into a fight with Xykon, who had trapped Lirian's soul in a Black Gem he carried. Dorukan fought Xykon to free Lirian so she could be revived, however he fell to the lich's repeat casting of Energy Drain. Xykon then bound his soul in the Black Gem with Lirian's, took his headband, claiming the Cloister spell and the Dungeon.

Powers and Abilities

• Epic Wizard: Dorukan had progress to the level where he could cast epic spells, devising the Cloister spell to protect his gate.
• Crafter: Dorukan created at least two magic items: the Talisman of Dorukan and Dorukan's Headband.
