Is it OK if the two dragonborn characters know each other? It might make sense (or maybe not... who knows?)

I see Paranthraxus as a sort of crusader. Perhaps he's been attacking the raiding orcs on his own and has come to Baron Loxlyn's aid after hearing of the call for action. Or maybe a few of us have been traveling the land, engaging in guerilla attacks against the orcs, and have come to Baron Loxlyn's keep to see if we can find like-minded adventurers to join the cause.
