Beginnings

As the citizens of Greginsham stood their ground before the orcish hordes, one of the two village heroes stepped forth. His name was Ahvoron, a templar knight of the high council of Sheresdar. Ahvoron was Taeryel's father, a noble and brave knight. As the war broke out between the tribes, Ahvoron wished for his son's safety solely, as he knew this battle would be his last. Taeryel's mother died with the last invasion of the orcs, and in such an environment as Sheresdar, invasions and attacks were not a rarity. At the age of thirteen Taeryel stood before his father for the very last time, but he was oblivious to the fact. Due to the constant militaristic style of his tribe, practice at an early age was proper for most everyone. Within nights, Greginsham was beset on all sides, and the citizens who fled the city could only travel so far. Most of them were hunted down and slain, but Taeryel survived for the search of enlightenment. After fleeing the forest, he would seek a place to further her training and beliefs, to find guidance in a form so pure and welcoming.
