Message: <blockquote data-quote="Priest" data-source="post: 591524" data-attributes="member: 8973">Govannon as I have said earlier will be built upon the illusive person, or persons of Myth who incompany Talisien the Welsh Bard, Tristram the Indo-European Tragic Hero, and a few smaller leans as well of course as my own take on things. The Rough ( I repeat) Rough outline of his history follows thus:Govannon Thistlesong As a 4 yr old  boy he witnessed the murdering of his mother and the theft of his sibling Lilia at the hands of grey cloaked mercenaries.  Orphaned and already whispered to be the child of his mother, by a local River demon Govannon found himself without the support of his mothers tribe, and without speaking to anyone Govannon the boy wanders off into the woodlands eventually to the river in search of his Demonic father, which as the case turns out is a River Spirit ( Unknown ideas as to what that may be) The Spirit reveals to him his Spirit Guide, a snow colored Raven, and awakens the shamantic powers within the boys mind . At 7 Caught stealing food from the Gypsy clan Thistlesong, and raised mostly by the unruly gypsy woman Rhean who taught him to read, and to write, and the songs of her clan, and told him the stories of how poetry was given from the Goddess Rhiana for whom she was named. At 18 tragedy again struck his life. Bandits along the road attacked and killed both Rhean, and the elderly Shellock Thistlesong the Clan father, and a fair portion of the Clan Thistlesong  as well. In a moment of quick thought Govannon, with the help of  Rhean’s daughter Rasha, escaped off into the dark forests with the infant Bjorn, and the four year old Miranda Thistlesong making there way  eventually into the civilized town of  Willowbend Mill where the group was boarded up at the Inn of the Golden Ray ( Owned by Granny Sinsa ) At 22 Govannon took residence at 201 Ballans Place, a hovel that he turned into a snug halfling hold for himself and his clan of three, by this time Rasha was pregnant with the couples son  Gwydon .  It is keeping the place that  proves to be the problem. To keep the Hovel turned Halfling hold Govannon felt pressed to join the Caravans sending money, and letters home to his now devoted wife.  And lighting some small amount of sage brush each night as a prayer that he will return to her once again with better offerings than his wage. (First chance he got he jumped caravans and joined an Adventuring party which brings us to his presentThe Band of the Falcons Eye as his party calls themselves has been on the outs and outs with eachother after a failed dungeon crawl ( the place has been looted already)  Govannon at 24 has been on the road for two years infrequently stopping home to warm his wifes spirits, and to bounce his suprisingly healthy 2 Yr old boy on his knee while reciting the tales of the dusty road. He  is unhappy with the not so wise decisions made by the “leader” of the band and is looking elsewhere for a job that might lead him back  towards Willowbend Mill. Personality Govannon's true name Gohass Eenon or "Wild Spirit" lends some to believe that he is a wild, and short tempered fellow when in fact he is slow to anger and is as unmovable as the passage of his Fathers River.  But Just as a flood he builds up anger releasing it unexpectadly upon his foe in a devastating fashion.As a poet he is glib tongued capable of wooing women with his silvery words, and can sometimes impact others with a simple phrase, or even sometimes a single word.  And when one asks of his Shamantic beliefs he becomes cryptic, and mystical giving vague proverbs that carry large, and oft times sarcastic meanings aimed at the stupidity shown by dumb questions. Sometimes Govannon spouts poetry haphazardly as if in a Prophetic trance, but even he has no idea as to what his literary gibberish mean.
