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.
