Paxus Asclepius said:I'm curious, why champion of light, not freedom? The Order of the Axe seem like quintessential champions of freedom to me. This isn't a criticism, just a query. Also, I assume that you are also hired on as a guard?
Partly because I came up with the character before the background, and I like light a bit better than freedom. I did think about switching, but the founding ideals of the Order of the Axe are things like order, justice, peace, which seem more like champion of light causes to me. Galed takes those things very seriously, but broke with his father over his opposition to the Giants.
Hiring on as a guard works for me. Galed could have joined up with a caravan to get a chance to travel around and find some sort of wrong to right.
