BIO:
Growing up all I ever heard was stories of greatness. Lions whose hides even the greatest arrow can’t peirce. Eagles can go unseen and never miss their mark. Griffins whose knowledge cannot be fathomed. Great stories, helping others, saving the day, following the righteous path. But that’s it, they were just stories.
Growing up I wanted nothing more than to become an Eagle. I trained night and day, I learned about all of the wildlife I could, studied the world as I knew it. I cataloged plants and spent days wandering alone through the woods wanting nothing more than to hone my skills.
When I was old enough, guided by Arnath, I went to join the Order. It was good for a time, I made friends and comrades who had the same drive, the same blind faith that I had. But like I said, it was good for a time. We learned and we trained and I felt my purpose being fulfilled.
However politics changed that, being as new as I was, I didn’t have time to really learn what the “Order Civil War” was all about, just that everyone had to pick a side. I guess I picked the right side, if you can call it that. It’s hard to remember all the details but you’ll never forget the moment when you’re standing next to a friend fighting off people you’re told are the enemy but those people are friends, other people you’ve trained with. People you’ve broken bread with, people you would have fought a god for. But now I had to kill them, I don’t fully understand the reason, just that good soldiers follow orders. The older kids, some of the neophytes that were going to be ordained, I had become friends with and I looked up to them. We thought them so cool, already on their journey to become “heroes”. But there was nothing heroic about finding my friends dead in the bloodied dirt that day.
After the fighting I did what any reasonable person would do, I left. Me and a few like minded friends decided it was better to leave than follow anyone so willing to turn on their own. Having never sworn the oath yet, we dropped out of the youth recruit training program. Those times are behind me now, I hold no ill towards the fine people of the Order, just a dislike for those in charge of it. Anyone in a position of powers first and foremost responsibility should be to take care of the little guy. So that’s what I set out to do. Arnath teaches us to protect the weak, and I do just that. Friends and I set out to help and protect those who couldn’t. To be a sword, but more importantly to be a shield. I left the militant church, but I stayed in Starkhaven. I learned to build houses, to till fields. Help those without making them go beyond their means. My favorite way to get paid is by a hot meal. But that really brings me to where I am now, I could go on about how to thatch a roof, or the best ways i’ve learned to repair a wagon, but I have more people to help and more skills to learn. Eventually I took work with a group of merchants mostly made up of refugees from the Bos Mezar settlement of Serai. Although they contracted with the surviving… or should I say victorious…. Order of Arnath’s Light, they served a lot of the local people. And when I heard that the Iron Wheel Trading Company was being sent on ships to voyage to the Outlands, I volunteered to go as well. I’m excited for my first taste of adventure!
