Eyes: Ice Blue
Hair: Golden (Brass?) Blonde
Skin: Tanned
Appearance:
Arvan’s long golden hair is often braided in a traditional Flamewatcher warrior style. He has penetrating ice blue eyes, much like his mother, and he casts an imposing, chiseled figure. His dress is simple and functional, and his clothing stands out as one not from the fine tailors of Korvairre. He appears young, and his well-tanned skin bares few of the scars and signs that most associate with a barbarian, but his mannerisms can key off observers that he is not from Korvairre if his clothing were not already an indication.
Personality:
Arvan has a forceful personality, but he generally is more an observer than one who interacts. He is skilled in presenting a formidable front in all things. He is slow and plodding mentally, generally structured in how he goes about things, which is the only way he knows. Arvan is aware of himself and his tribe first and foremost, and his actions are often dictated on what he sees as benefiting him the most, either now or in the future.
Background:
Arvan’s father was Warlord of the Flamewatchers for many years, till an injury allowed his rule to be successfully challenged. Honnan the Cleaver was well respected, and even when he was no longer the formidable warrior and Warlord he had once been, he was a well-respected elder and authority in the tribe. Honnan’s wife and Arvan’s, Arrana Winterwind, was a gift to the Warlord early in his reign from the Frostblades, and her exotic beauty, powerful sorcery, and sharp mind helped offer Honnan steady advice during his rule, and had earned him respect and envy.
Arvan sought to be a warrior like his father, but found he had a powerful connection to the arcane, much like his mother. While his intellect fell well short of either parent, his intuition and personal drive helped him blend his warrior and sorcerous arts. He showed a canny innate ability to blend both, and was on his way to being regarded as a fine warrior in his own right.
Arvan felt a strong connection to the dragons, with affinities to his abilities with fire, and hands that began to appear oddly misshapen, as he grew older. When he became of age, like all those in his tribe, he attended the Initiation, a ritual where the Dragonspeakers looked for the potential in those reaching adulthood, and where their tribal title of honor is chosen. Much to Arvan’s surprise, the eldest Dragonspeaker, Gorron the Brasstongue, picked him out. Arvan followed Gorron away, and spent the next two weeks alone with the elder Dragonspeaker.
Gorron told Arvan that some of the Flamewatchers had blood from The Founder (the legendary Brass Dragon who founded the tribe), and Arvan was indeed one of them. Gorron had received a vision that had told him to choose Arvan, and that his blood as well as his arcane talent would make him an excellent Dragonspeaker, but as all speakers, he must first partake of a journey to prove his worth and learn what the Dragons wished of him to properly speak for them.
Arvan studied what texts he could, and learned Draconic quickly for someone of his limited intellect. Grasping for direction from what he knew, he set his sights on a journey to a distant land. Honnan gifted him with the axe Honnan’s father gave him on his Initiation, Arrana gifted him with several gems to fund his travels, and before he left, Gorron told Arvan that his journey may lead him back and away again, as his vision was of a wiser and older Arvan leaving. Arvan nodded, and promised to bring back word from the distant land, and return when he learned something of the voices of the Dragons. The day Arvan left his tribe, he knew only that his travels would take him far, but how far he might never have imagined…
Notes:
Seren Tribe:
The Flamewatchers were founded by a lawful neutral brass dragon. It is a rather small tribe that covets information and positions of strength. Their knowledge and ties to present a strong face to rival tribes, which has allowed them to avoid numerous conflicts. Highly literate and with a high percentage of dragonspeakers among them, they have also produced a number of notable warriors who use their minds to augment their already notable fighting ability. The tribe as a whole is much happier when it can stay out of conflict and simply observe it.
