The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 8
Each issue, I (Rhastam) will be writing about a few names from old times in Thera. I will be doing it as part of a miniseries of sorts, going cabal by cabal and then finally alignment by alignment. This week's Biographies:

The Knights of Liberty Mountain

[KNIGHT] Torin
Lord Torin, Human Paladin of the Light, was born during the most chaotic of times in Thera. He grew up with such names as Naugroth, Jerold, Githnaru and Zanzabar. He was inducted into the Halls of Valour at an early age, even for a Knight. He was said to be a Paige to many senior Knights which existed at that time. The path that Torin walked was different than almost every other Knight, ever to attain the Halls. His was the Lawful path. I once watched Torin fight three of the worst evil doers in Seringale, all at once. Without breaching his code, he defended himself, and slew two out of three opponents. In every instance that I was Torin in combat or just Hanging around Seringale he never breached his Lawful Ethos, which as a Knight, is a very difficult and tedious thing to accomplish. Torin was always a kind and dedicated soul, always willing to lend a hand to anyone in aid. It is said he once helped a group of new Lightwalking adventurers go from their first rank, to Master, all in a single day, just to help them along, and to further the Word of the Light. He rose quickly within the ranks of Valour, and was the New Executor before his 33rd birthday. He lived to a ripe old age, and eventually took the long journey eastwards, never to be heard of again.

[KNIGHT] Yilhet
Lord Yilhet, Werebeast Ranger of the Light came from mixed beginnings. I always understood Yilhet's birth to be a result of a union between a goat, and a former Legion Illusionist, but through my investigations, I have discovered that this, while applicable, is unfortunately not true. Yilhet was the offspring of a demure Were beast from Valour and a hot blooded ladies man from Dryktshytre Forest. At an early age, Yilhet learned the craft of the wood, and put it to good use. He was instrumental in fighting off the massive Fire Giant invasion of Emerald Forest in '39 and the Kobold Uprising in Moria in '45. He was inducted into the Knights of Valour with a little trepidation, I was surprised to discover. It was thought that with his penchant for fighting, he would bring the Knights more bad media attention than good. Yilhet's actions were a delight to many, with his toe to toe fighting with anything that moved. He wore a Wanted flag like it was a tattoo, and killed Dagnir, the Enforcer of Seringale in his sleep. It is reported that with just a healer escort, he could defeat the Faction of Steel in Winter, which is no small feat. He was raised Executor, much to the delight of the current crop of Knights. He led the Knights in a successful war with the Halls of Justice, and the Halls of Warlord. Not to mention the ongoing battles with the Legion of Darkness, under the fist of Lord Darkhan and later Lord Zanzabar. His soul grew tired of Thera and began showing up less and less often, until one day, he abdicated his mantle of Executor and disappeared into the Forests of Old one last time.
