[QUOTE="Rhun, post: 2820876, member: 29098"] [b]Thodan of Tempus[/b] [b]Background/Appearance/Personality[/b] [sblock] Thodan was born in the small village of Orbesh, in the Fields of Nun. The youngest son of a poor farmer, his early life consisted of hard work and little in the way of luxury. At an age of ten, Thodan’s father gave him over to the priesthood of Tempus, hoping the boy would find a better life amongst the clergy. Thodan entered the clergy, and became an acolyte of the cleric Theodoric, a patriarch of Tempus who presided over an ancient Chessentan citadel turned shrine within the Chondalwood forest. Thodan served Theodoric for several years, performing his duties well, strengthening into a man and learning the ways of combat. And then something happened that changed all that. Theodoric received a visitor by the name of Lord Yrkhetep, and shortly after that visit began to act strangely. When the patriarch began to practice necromancy, raising the bodies of honorable warriors from their well-deserved sleep, Thodan prayed to Tempus for guidance. In what could only be described as a vision, the spirit of an ancient Chessentan numeri peditatae appeared to him, and warned him to flee the shrine. Explaining to him that his life was in danger, the spirit told him to travel north, that the Lord of Battles had need of him in the lands of the purple dragon. Believing the vision to be a message from his god, Thodan fled the shrine and traveled north to Hlath and then caught ship to Hlondeth. From there he traveled overland to Teziir, and then caught ship across The Dragonmere to the Cormyrian capital of Suzail. Thodan has now been in Cormyr for nearly a decade, trying to find what need the Lord of Battles has for him within this land. Although the young cleric still receives the occasional vision or dream hinting at his purpose within these lands, he still wanders somewhat aimlessly, helping those deserving warriors he finds along his way. Thodan’s most recent vision implored him to seek out the “the star of twilight.” Thus, he has traveled to the idyllic farming village of Eveningstar, hoping to find some clue as to his purpose in Cormyr. Thodan is a gruff, dour man, who lives to fight the next battle and do glory in the name of his god, Tempus. He takes his calling very seriously. He truly believes that Tempus is communicating with him through these visions and dreams that he has had, though so far the messages have been rather cryptic. He follows Tempus’ dogma strictly, and conducts himself honorably in battle. No stranger to the thrill of battles, Thodan is not one to back down from a fight, and is well neigh fearless in the face of danger. Thodan enjoys good food and strong drink, and tales and songs of combat and glory. While he works well with a group, he has been spent most of his recent past as something of a lone wolf. Thus, he is used to doing things for himself. While generally gruff and terse, he can be pleasant enough when one takes the time to get to know him. His lust for battle and adventure is impressive, and he can be very strong in his views. At 6’ 1” in height and 185 lbs, with a muscular build, Thodan looks the part of a veteran warrior rather than a priest. His hair is shoulder length, a tangled mess of greasy brown locks, and his face is covered with permanent stubble. His face has the rugged and weathered look of someone who spends most of their time in the sun and wind. Thodan’s eyes are a vibrant cobalt blue in color, and give him a presence that his otherwise average looks could not normally do. Thodan dresses in well-worn, comfortable clothing. Leathers and wools make up the bulk of what he wears, in subdued shades of brown, grey and green. Although his armor and weapons show the signs of heavy use, anyone familiar with warcraft would note that they are extremely well cared for.
