Born in 1682 in the realm of Atlas, Oryl Essan grew up in a tightly-knit seed that he unfortunately has very little memory of. Raised by his father, Osur Essan, and mother Osen Essan, he learned about the ancient Woodland culture through tribal texts and manuscripts. At 10 years old Oryl began learning to craft beautiful works of art from the wood and quickly took up archery. As he aged he began to grow curious of what lay outside the land of his seed. Oryl learned the importance of the unity between elf and nature, and understood much about the land. His mother taught him history and his father taught him how to hunt. Oryl had no brothers or sisters but became best friends with Tamor Irus. They hunted together, talked about modern art and thought about what it could possibly be like to leave their home. Oryl grew stronger and more wise. As word spread of the discovery of Arcas in 1705, Oryl left his family in Atlas to hopefully return to one day. He bade farewell to his kin and vowed to remain true to his seed. Upon his arrival in Arcas, Oryl lived in the woods for quite some time on his own, searching for members of his family until one morning he decided to enter the Woodland Realm in search of friends, new life and a future.
Staring around in awe, Oryl replies “Good day, kind sir. I pursue naught but the discovery of my kind in this new land and hope to bring to it part of my humble culture and beginnings. Might you direct me to a tavern? I am in search of work as well as information” Oryl waits patiently, eager to explore this new city, but wary of the dangers it may hold.
