Silas Dunharrow is from the Kingdom of Keoland, where the Royal Explorers Society is based from the Royal Library of Keoland in Niole Dra. He has only recently gained acceptance to that austere organization, due to the rigorous testing required of its members.
He is a professionally trained cartographer, and an accomplished scholar of a few specific subjects, having received his education from the Temple of Delleb in Niole Dra. Throughout Silas' adventuring career, he has taken a particular interest in the Great Migrations, where a millenia ago the various tribes of humanity spread into the Flanaess. He also has a special interest in the evil cults that developed anew or existing ones that were affected by the migrations, and the so-called Fading Lands of the Flanaess, such as the Crypts of the Iron Souls, the Faerie Court of Rings (Unseelie Court), with a particular focus on the Fading Land of Necros.
Having heard tales from the Pomarj of the place known as Brantis Hold, and its associating with the Fading Land of Necros, Silas travelled to Obsidian Bay to learn more. There, he quickly learned that the enigmatic Blackrazor Guild was responsible for the tales which had reached Keoland, and so Silas befriended that guild's scholar, George Fillerman. Silas found that George had been tasked with translating a tome recovered from Brantis Hold called the Gospel of Necros, and that an expedition to the ruins of Maure Castle in the Duchy of Urnst had recently been mounted due to its alleged links to Necros.
Silas therefore signed on to both the Blackrazor Guild (so as to be privvy to the lore uncovered at Maure Castle), and to the Cartographer's Guild in Obsidian Bay. He intends to rendezvous with his guildmates (whom he has thus far never met) at the campsite known to have been set up just to the northwest of Maure Castle's ruins on a wooded hill. He does not know that this campsite was abandoned, as it was the site of a masacre of several neophyte guildmembers. Finding a way past the Unopenable Doors may prove more difficult...

On Flocktime 16, CY 592 Silas was killed by a Bone Weird in Maure Castle[1]
