Teragorn the old was brought into the world in the wonderful city of Johannesburg at the peak of the oren empires might. It was no less than ten years before the rebellion of courland and the great war there after ensued. His parents and him evacuated under the guide of the many stewards of Johannesburg leaving the vast majority of their belongings and meager wealth they had collected from their herbalist shop. It wasn’t long before they heard of the devastating explosion of the city. Little Teragorn hardly ten years of age hardly understood the full gravity of the situation. They moved to the Isles of Sutica, taking up peaceful residency there and hopping to recollect some of their former herbal selection. Sadly the lack of knowledge of the areas foreign flora made that near impossible, plummeting the family into poverty. At the young age of twenty-three filled with his youthful redblood and a now deeper understanding of what transpired in his past he set out to courland with a stupid and flawed plan. That plan more or less entailed walking into courland and stabbing the king. A silly and thoughtless plan but one he certainly thought would revenge what his family lost. His march from the Isles of Sutica all the way to courland was a incredibly long journey. He met several travelers, stopping in the smaller villages of the land. He heard many a tale of the injustice and corruption of the former empire. The small folk tore down his child like understanding of the world and by the time he reached Courland his rage had faded and all that remained was a ragged and tired man. He stepped into the city with the goal of recreating his families shop. For many years he remained in Courland as a farmer sending periodic letters back to his parents in Sutica about his quest. When the time came for the evacuation of Vailor, He stayed with Courland until their end in Axios at which point he roamed the world in search of knowledge of flora and medicine. Finally at the end of Axios he received a letter of the failing health of his parents. He was slow to react and with the closing of Axios he did not return in time. Now with a final letter from Sutica informing him that his Mother, the only one still alive had just passed away he now finally returns to his childhood home to find some sollence for the fact he abandoned his parents.
