Martin's Song of Ice and Fire.  It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but despite this I think it worked out OK.The nature of the Solarians (and the nature of the threat in the Hinterlands) is something that is still evolving in the campaign since a story arc involving Oren's joining the Solarians is just starting to come to the forefront.One thing that has taken a drastic turn is how I perceived the Order of Sol's ShieldWardens.  Initially I had envisioned them as heavily armoured warrior-cleric that fought with Sword and Shield.  Now, I see them more as mobile fighters.  Not in the sense of finesse fighters, but of self-contained warriors able to cross large distances on their own--almost like pseudo-Rangers.  I think "pseudo" is my word of the day.Oren now wears a chain shirt to keep his speed up, and he has taken a few ranks in Wilderness Lore to represent his ability to survive in the wild.  Part of this is due to the influence of the one of the party's Rangers, a character named Maven.Without further ado, I present Oren's background as it was first presented to the DM (with a few minor corections).</blockquote>
