Tasar Lufaren, named after his mother Taenya Lufaren and father Akkar Lufaren was born 23 summers ago deep in the woods North of The Realm of Elvenesse.
All his life, since his birth, Tasar had never met any other person besides his mother Taenya the wood elf healer, and father Akkar dark elf hunter.
His mother taught him the ways of the forest and the healing arts of various plants, meanwhile, his father taught him the ways of the hunt.
When Tasar turned 10 years old his father sat him down and finally had a word with him about their past as Tasar had been starting to ask questions like "why are we the only ones living here?" and "where are all the other elves?"
While noticeably beating around the bush, his father vaguely explained that Tasar's mother and father had to leave The Realm of Elvenesse for reasons beyond his comprehension at the current time, while also promising to explain everything when he reached the maturity of age 18.
For the next 6 years, Tasar continued his training in healing and hunting arts while also dabbling in woodworking and fletching in his spare time.
One day, while out on the hunt he explored further out in the woods than he was allowed to and noticed a stranger with a broken-down cart on a road that he never knew was there.
Never seen another person in his life, besides his parents, he was very excited and offered his help, explaining how he was somewhat decent in woodworking to fix his cart and that he would help him push it to their shed with the necessary tools.
As the cart was quite heavy, they arrived late at night. Tasar's father received them as soon as they arrived near the house, he was seemingly upset but his shock of seeing a stranger with his son must have shut his mouth in disbelief. After explaining the situation of the stranger being a merchant that tried to take a shortcut from the Elvenesse to a village in the woods that he often trades with and seeing his posture didn't possess any physical threat he allowed him to stay the night.
They all enjoyed a great meal that Tasar's mother Taenya had prepared, while also enjoying a few glasses of the vine that the merchant offered as thanks for helping him. After a good laugh and liveliness that hadn't been seen in the house for a while, they all went to sleep.
Late in the night, Tasar had been woken up by strange and loud coughing, he slowly got out of the bed and made his way towards the noise that seemed to be coming from his parent's room. He knocked, slowly opened the door, and asked if they were okay, while stopped mid-sentence by all the blood he was seeing.
What followed was the worst day of his life. The coughing stopped soon after, along with his parent's breaths.
Tasar screamed and cried, yelled, and couldn't move from the pain, soon after he passed out. When waking up he hoped that all that was a bad dream but his dead parents were still there. He looked at their bodies and due to his mother's teaching, knew they were poisoned.
He figured it was the vine and prepared his hunting gear.
Using the skills that his father taught him, he tracked down the merchant within 2 days and nights, never stopping for a rest. He put an arrow in each of the merchant's legs before slowly walking up to him and silently, through his teeth whispering the words "why?"
Merchant screamed in pain while begging for his life and offering empty promises.
The only useful thing that came out of his mouth was "I was paid..."
Soon after, Tasar slit his throat and put his prey out of the misery like his father always taught him, even though this sick creature didn't deserve any sympathy.
Tasar buried his parents under the tree where they had been marking his height each Summer and soon moved away. He couldn't live under the same roof where his parents were slain.
He traveled the woods, scavaging and hunting for the next 7 years until enough was enough, he embarked on a journey to leave the forest and explore the world hoping in doing so, one day he could find the answers that lead to the tragedy that scared him so.
