Norin is a human warrior who was born on Dominaria during the Dark Age.

Description

Infamous for his utter cowardice,[1][2][3] Norin has nonetheless been immortalized for his dry, cynical wit.

History

As a consequence of Dominaria's temporal crisis, Norin was caught up in a time rift and wandered in it for what felt like three days.[4] First, he materialized in the Rift Era, and thereafter managed to find his way out onto a Dominaria of the future, only to stumble straight through an open door and find himself on Duskmourn.[5][6] His ultimate goal is to find a way out and back home. In the meantime, a keen sense of self-preservation and a strong nose for danger has kept him alive.
