About Alaeron LongstriderBackstory:
It started off as any normal day, but would soon become known as the Firebow Deception. The last hope for civilization as we know it laid in the hands of the Firebow Protectorate, one of the first groups of heroes who led the greatest siege of the Void Tower! Deception and betrayal was waiting in the shadows for these great heroes, who quickly found themselves cut off, deep from any help or allies. It was this day that the Protectorate died as we know it. Lomas, last known elvish ranger of the Longstrider clan was one of only a handful of survivors. Leading a last ditch effort to save as many lives as he could, Lomas sounded the retreat and helped slow the rampaging hordes of darkness spewing from the Void Tower. What came as an army of tens of thousands was reduced to a mere hundred. But the face of betrayal wasn’t done with the Protectorate, for on that day, death awaited them. Their base camp, tended by their wives, children, servants and whores was even bloodier then the battlefield they left behind. Whether it was an unknown host of vile darkness from the tower, or something even more sinister, the last hundred were left in shock, and more than a dozen claimed their lives that day. But a small ray of sunshine started to smile through the overcast of clouds. And amidst all the creature of carrion, Lomas spotted movement! Struggling his way through all the gore and viscera, Lomas encountered the last thing he had been expecting, a lone child. *** For many years, Alaeron trained with his adopted father and always felt at home in the forest, even when his father would curse his human senses for being so loud. Lomas taught him to respect nature as it was intended and to honor the fey folk for their great gifts. Learning much of the fey, Alaeron made several friends among the pixies and dryads who lived close to the forest home he shared with Lomas. Not as deft with his fingers as his elven father, Alaeron took to himself a deeper understanding of his own abilities and strengths for himself. Lomas would always guff when his adopted son would fail to grasp the intricacies of the bow, and would shake his head when Alaeron would play at “swords”. Soon Alaeron grew to a man, and his time in the forest was running out. Lomas knew his son needed to experience the wider world and his own people, so he sent him to the only group he knew, the Protectorate. A shadow of its former self, the Firebow Protectorate operated simply as wardens and swords for hire. A harsh lesson was in store for our young ranger, one that he was ill suited for. The Protectorate took kindly to his skills and immediately set him to the task as a bounty hunter. Hunting his own race quickly took its toll, and Alaeron would do anything to leave that life behind and lead an adventure, just like his Father! Crunch:
