Athelstan grew up parentless. He never knew what had happened to them and was raised from a group home in an area secured by the high elves. He grew to be 18 when the high elves took him and his peers and forced them to swear allegiance to the elves and to do as they ask from no onwards. His peers refused as they finally hit 18 and sleeked freedom. The elves found this an insult and they all got banished. Athelstan managed to make it living off the small villages. He soon heard though that his peers weren't so lucky. Some died not having anywhere to live or eat, some got taken as from the orcs or bandits top become slaves. and when the a few of the remaining group went to confront the elves on what had happened they got executed for breaking there banishment. Athelstan believed that all of the blood was on the elves hands and reaching 19 he set out to seek revenge for his friends and make the elves pay for what they did.
