-Biography:
At the age of 40, the young Eramar saw a village, which was an exploration outpost of The Holy Princedom Of Malinor, being overrun by unknown raiders. The raiders started killing of everybody they could find. The young boy saw a family being struck down in front of him, which filled him with a sudden jolt of rage. He drew his swords and started hacking away at the raiders with all the deadly grace he had learned. He managed to take down 5 fullgrown men before he was hit by an arrow. It looked like a deadly wound, so he was left to die. But with his last powers, he managed to get to safety inside deep forests.
He tried to survive for using the resources the nature provided him with, but he felt himself slowly losing his powers. He would've died for sure if he hadn't stubled upon an hideout in the trees that looked exactly like the hideouts the elves used to build. So, filled with joy, he approached the hideout, only to be stopped by a arrow impacting just inches before his feet. Startled, he started to run for safety but a booming voice commanded him to stay still. Looking for the source of the voice, he discovered an elven face peeking trough the leaves, with an arrow pointed straight at his heart. The booming voice asked who he was and what his buisness was this deep into the forest, but the elf, who Eramar expected to be th esource of the voice, didn't move his lips. Suddenly, he saw a another person, coming towards him, which looked like a dwarf. He was so suprised by this sudden appearance that he couldn't speak nor move. "What are ya doing 'ere lil' elf?": he asked, but Eramar was to tired to respond, finally he gave in to his wounds and fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, he was laying on a bed, with a bandage applied to his wounds. When his eyes focused again he saw the elf's face hanging over him. With a big smile he said: "I know Grennen is not the prettiest around here, but that's no reason to faint". For the first time Eramar felt safe, and he burst out laughing, only to end up in pain. "Easy, easy": said Grennen the dwarf; "That hole ya got there needs time to heal, i'm suprised you still managed to get all the way here". Full of questions, Eramar opened his mouth, but the elf urged him to rest first. The wound took 5 months to heal. During those months, Eramar learned alot about his saviors.
The hideout he founds belonged to a group of 4 consisting of Sel'thin, the elf, Grennen, the dwarf, and Alice and Ben, two humans who were allways out exploring or working. He learned that the four had been friends for a long time, but got into troubles with a very mighty man. This man, who was a merchant that exploited his workers to gain more profit, send assassins after the four after they tried to expose his greed. Fearing for their lives, they had fled their home's to build this outpost. After four years however, the assassins found them, but because the forest was well known to the four they managed to kill them all. But, as they all felt as home deep with mother nature, they decided to stay. After a while, they heard rumors of a gang of bandits roaming the land around the forest, so they decided, since they had been honing their skills for 8 years in solitude, that they would help. But when they arrived at the village they were to late, the whole village had been burned. But there were no corpses, so they knew the population was taken to be sold as slaves. So at night, the four neared the encampement of the bandits. After they had taken postitions, Sel'thin's arrow rained death upon the bandits. When they finally recovered from the suprise, the ran for their weapons, only to meet Grennen's axe, because during Sel'thin's barrage, the remaining three had set up an ambush. So the drunk, unprepared bandits were quickly slain. After freeing the hostages, they returned home, but word of their actions spread like a fire, and soon, requests started coming, from villagers to count's and baron's, asking to help. So the group decided they would become an elite group of assassins, fighting for the good.
After hearing this story, Eramar told them what happened to the village and how he had fled. Impressesed with his will to survive, the four decided to let him stay and train him their skills. But first, Eramar wanted revenge for those poor people he tried to save. So they tracked down the raiders, who's fate was the same as the first group. After this, a long period of training and working followed. But as Eramar grew stronger and stronger, so did his feeling that he had found a new family grow stronger. And the gruesome memories softened over the years.
But as elves age way slower compared to the other races, only Sel'thin and he remained to carry on their goal, as Grennen took care of the hideout, and Alice and Ben grew old. And inevitably, Alice and Ben died of old age, while Grennen fell ill with a disease that left him partially paralyzed. Seeing how their order was dieing Sel'thin told Eramar; "Boy, its time for you to find your own path, it's with tears in my eyes that i say this, but Grennen won't last long, and I want to see the trees of my home one last time, so head out with our blessing. And continue our ways." Eramar knew this had been coming, but still those words tore at his heart as he said: "But I don't want to lose the family that gave me a second chance". "You won't boy", he suddently heard Grennen say:" part of us will allways be with you", and as he said that, he opened his hand which contained 3 necklaces, which were the symbol of the order. he recognised Alice's, Bens and Grennens own necklace. As he tried to disagree, Sel'thin put his necklace with the rest and said: "Never defy your own goals, and never harm innocents" Era knew they had thought this through, and agreed. And with a final goodbye, he packed his gear and started his journey..
