Norian is a thin gangly human male. He has light colored hair chopped off short and keeps his face clean shaven because a
beard he tried to grow before itched to much. He has long limbs and fingers and thin arms and legs almost to the point of
making him look sickly. He has a pointed chin and nose and some people think his ears appear to point skyward, this last
is the man reason he always wears his hood up. [/sblock]

[sblock=Background]Nearly a 1,000 years after what some have come to call the End of the Great Wars or Old Wars(since new smaller ones have been felt throughout the lands of Tantas), humans seem to have forgotten the past. A hundred generations have gone by and the truth has become story and story has become myth and myth is but a tale to scare children or give a goodwife something to gossip about.

But in all those years in the Frumo School of Magic a small temple of Lino still knows the truth. Histories have been recorded and handed down of the time know by the elves as The Cleanseing, and Turba's Abandoment by the dwarves. These races live and learn from the past but humans look forward ever forward, maybe do to the little time they have they wish to see it coming and plan and plot out every minute of every day.

Norian was just such a person but recent events in his life have changed his views of the world, the races on it, the gods that rule above it, and even the forces surronding it. He has found a new path and a new way he believes to better honor the teachings of his father and Lino his beloved god who has blessed his choice and watches as his little subject goes to try and bring honor to the Candle Keeper.

Full of questions that could not be answered at the Frumo School, Norian has been allowed to journey to Tyral. To the Temple of All, a chance to fully understand Lino and all the gods and thier reasons behind that great day of change. He will also get a chance to visit his father's brother and family, people he has not seen since he was near five and left when his father took up caretaking of the Temple of Lino in the Frumo School of Magic.

As he draws near his weary feet get the better of him so Norian plans a quick stop at the crossroads near Tyral. Maybe a chance to sit and hear any rumors of what his new life might be like. [/sblock]

After the empire crumbled under the earth's might, the Darkbark clan flee the tunnels under the mountains, and wandered the forests. They developed a deep connection with the primordial beings of the earth, and established a grove in the forest. Most of them where still the sturdy fighters of the mines, but many became priests of the primordial, druids, wardens, rangers, even barbarians with deep traditional roots in their new way of life. Molden Darkbark was an old dwarf, with his mind fresh of memories of the oppression and the dwarves way of life in the mines. He developed a connection with the primordials, but he remains respectful of the ancestors. His mind struggled with the contrast of cultures.
Seeking enlightenment, the old dwarf abandoned his community, and wandered to Tyral, in search for answers.

[sblock=Character Description]
Background

Grayven's family lives now for three generations in the gnome district of Tyral, where the gnomes live nearly isolated from the rest of the population. Having shown a great intellect and an edge in manifesting illusions even at an early age, Grayven started his formal studies in the local arcane school. Never having lost his caution for the machinations of the other races, grayven waits what the future holds for him.


Personality

Grayven is quick to befriend, but it is hard to win his trust. He favors forethought and striking before the enemy, is a bit paranoid and favors stealth over a direct approach.

Appearance

Born of the feywild but grown up in a city, Grayven has a fine angular face with smoky blue eyes. Looking joyful most of the time, some forget that Grayven is a bit paranoid and quick to lash at perceived dangers. Her wears not the occupation betraying robes other wizards seem to favor but a good honest blackened leather armor, designed not to look like it's true armor value. Even though he fancies himself a mighty illusionist, he hasn't forgotten that that his people are known for guile and trickery. Grayven is normal in height and weight (for a gnome), but lacks a bit the natural stealth so many members of his race exhibit.

45gp still to spend[sblock=Background:]Cole cinder was raised in the outlying edges of the borders of the kingdom of Tyral. Being the youngest of his siblings, he had no idea why his family couldn’t live in the city proper where there were other kids closer to his own age to play with. The Cinder Clan had resettled on the very edge of a fiery chasm where the red glow of the earth’s blood would sizzle and pop endlessly. While this chasm provided the clan with all the heat it needed to ply its trade in armor and weapon craft, it provided another fascination for the youngest Cinder.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]He would stare into the blazing maw for hours on end. And once it was clear that Cole was not becoming big and strong like his many brothers, and had no interest in the metal-crafting trade, he was left pretty much to his own devices. So when he started talking to something within the magma, nobody really noticed – at least not right away. He started getting angrier with each passing month, and his skin got very dark from the heat of lava that he stared into every day. When his family noticed the changes in the teenager they were of course concerned, albeit in a very Dwarven way. They insisted that he come help in the forge. There were quite a few mixed reactions when they learned that the baby of the family had gained some mastery over the very fire they used to heat their machinations. His brothers were amazed that his slight build could hold such power, and that his years of meditation at the flame’s mouth had tempered his flesh just like their family’s steel with great endurance. His parents were happy at first that he could start to contribute to the business, if in a slightly different way. But when his temper came with bursts of flame, it started becoming clear that the forge was not the place for him. So Cole made his way the city to find his path, but could still be found often at the chasms brink, either in deep meditation or holding one side of in depth conversations on the true nature of fire. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He found many people in the city that would pay him to use his mastery of flame to their advantage, and even a few others that shared his fascination. So Cole Cinder can be found most nights standing at the wide hearths of the local taverns with others that crave the flames embrace, or even talking to the fire still when he nobody else will listen.[/sblock][sblock=Description:]Cole Cinder is slightly built for a dwarf, but his skin is almost as hard as iron to the touch. He stands a little below average height for a dwarf at 4ft tall, but his fiery disposition more than makes up for that. His skin is darkly tanned from years at the lava’s edge, and his dark eyes always seem to be bloodshot and swirling with bits of ash. Instead of a traditional beard Cole wears hid wiry red hair short with mutton chops that hang several inches below his rounded jaw, leaving his dimpled, but strong chin bare to the world.[/sblock][sblock=Personality:]Everything seems to be fire or fuel to this brash young dwarf. To say he is a hothead would be a completely justifiable pun. He reacts to every insult like someone had raped his sister (like every teenager does), but he literally has the firepower to back up his threats. He isn’t evil, so much as a loaded gun without a target. And in a world where words can truly have life or death consequences, taking cheap shots at an impetuous young pyromancer is the quickest way to meet your maker.[/sblock][/FONT]

==================================================

“Honag, stand and face the elders and hear their judgement.”

The young goliath paused for only a second and yet his thoughts, his visions, would have filled hours. The expression on Marga’s dying face, the rage on the face of his father - and hers! The sorrow on the faces of his mother and sisters; the anger on the faces of the tribe. But above all was the deep sorrow that filled his very being. He knew that death was probably to be his next adventure but he relished it. To die, to dream no more…he stood and faced his accusers.

The elders were grim-faced and implacable. Only in the eyes of one, the old shaman, Hiram Skywatcher, was there even a hint of mercy or forgiveness.

The chief elder rose, supported by his staff, and spoke. “By your actions Honag Stoneborn, ye have caused the death of a maiden of the clan. And so know ye this; from this time henceforth your name is taken from you. No longer are ye to be recorded in the scrolls of the Stoneborn clan.”

A startled intake of breath came from the assembled tribefolk.

“Before dawn tomorrow ye will be escorted hence and taken to the lip of the chasm…” There was a pause as Honag waited for the words of death.

“…and there ye will be banished from rock and kin, from folk and family, never to return on pain of cruel death.”

A muffled scream burst out from behind him, but was quickly stilled. It was his mother. A hushed mumbling came from the onlookers at this unique form of punishment and Honag himself could scarce believe his own ears.”

“Remove the prisoner!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Honag! Honag!”

He sat up instantly at the whispered call. He could not imagine who would be speaking to him at this time. He knew it could only be minutes before he would be escorted from here.

To his surprise it was the old shaman Hiram.

“Listen and do not speak. I have only moments and can say this only once. Our people must learn more about the world into which we have been delivered. You know, only too well, how things have changed. I want you to report back every once in a while to tell us of happenings outside the mountains. I realise you cannot return here but you can send word to our neighbours, the dwarven villagers to the east. They will make sure I and the other shamen receive the word. Now go and may the mountain gods go with you.”
