Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goonalan" data-source="post: 5395873" data-attributes="member: 16069">This is from Akshay, Resolute's background-========== Background ==========After the sun sets, even the boldest marauders of the Nentir Vale fear to speak his name. Goblin and orc, gnoll and ogre, they know that grim death stalks the wilds, and its name is Resolute. Lean as knotted whipcord, he has waged a solitary war against the dark for more than a decade. Moving from one spare campsite to another, he crisscrosses the Vale, always hunting, entering civilization only to trade and resupply.But Resolute's path was not always so bleak. Born to the Swift Crow tribe of the Dawnforge mountains, Resolute was once named Aram Black Sun. The day of his birth was the first simultaneous lunar and solar eclipse in the tribe's records; to his people, there could be no more powerful omen. Though marked for greatness, Aram was raised in the tribe's traditions and trained in its peculiar form of grappling combat. The night of his tenth birthday, though, changed him forever. Just before dawn, the Swift Crow camp was overrun by a clan of frost giants. The tribe's warriors fought valiantly, but were outmatched within minutes. Aram fled into the night with the scattered remnants of his people, bare moments ahead of the pursuing giants. Over the next days, the ragged and hungry Swift Crows were run down and butchered, one by one - all except Aram. Huddled in a dank cave, he starved and shivered through the mountain nights. Days later, he emerged to find nothing left of the Swift Crows but bloody carcasses and smoking ruins.That day, he took the name Resolute and dedicated himself to an endless struggle against the tide of evil slowly snuffing out civilization in the Vale. More than a decade later, he still dreams of exacting vengeance for the slaughter of his people, but years of struggle have left him near despair and no closer to finding justice. Whatever glorious destiny awaits him, it has never seemed more out of reach.</blockquote>
