History

Born to the icy wastes of the Savaar in the northern reaches of Anthos, Morvan’s arrival coincided with the first scourge attacks on the Gorundyr. Helpless against these demons, the people of Clan Orvar took his survival as a sign from the gods. Very few other children had lived through the harsh cold and plague that assaulted his people. The gods had given them one who would lead them safely from the maw of the scourge. Morvan’s birth took a severe toll on his mother. As she sat losing blood and her vision began, she saw a cloaked figure enter the hut. Its face appeared black, with blood red eyes peering out from under its hood. It spoke to her in the ancient tongue of the Gorundyr and moved over to Morvan. The figure reached towards him and carved a small rune into the flesh of his forehead. As quick as it had come, it was gone. Aventia, Morvan’s mother, lived through the ordeal and told him the tale when he was older. He believes Ankou gave him a piece of his divine soul on that night and he has pledged himself to the gods service.

 

Morvan fled the Savaar with the remaining vestiges of his people and took up leadership of the Clan after Mabon, his father, fell in battle at the cloud temple. Ambitious and proud of his heritage, his sole goal is to rebuild Clan Orvar and preserve the legacy of the Gorundyr.
