Jorn was warming up by the fireplace. Not that he needed to, he never got cold. It just felt like the right thing to do when it was cold outside. The inn was crowded today, all kind of folks around.
He winked at Melindra, the innkeeper’s daughter. She had been sneaking up to his room the last 2 nights.
The fire got his attention again. Reminding him of his past. Remembering the 2 most important persons in his life. His foster mother Brenna, a beautiful northern woman, who loved and raised him as her own and his old friend and mentor Bron.
I was born 19 years ago as the son of a northern captain and a southern princess. My father captained a group of northern raiders who attacked shipping lanes and coastal villages. On one of these trips he had acquired my mother. My mother, Cayden have her soul, died soon after giving birth to me, the cold climate and the rigors of childbirth being too much for her. My father I never met, he died at sea before I ever got the chance.
Northerners fear everything well……not like themselves. So no one was keen on taking in an odd-looking baby. One woman stepped up, Brenna, the local midwife. My childhood was filled with both love and hate. Love, Brenna’s love for me, my love for all life and music. Hate, the hatred the other boys showed me especially Bjorn Leifson, son of the chieftain.
When a northern boy is 10 he starts his warrior training and while I possessed all the physical traits I never showed any more than average prowess. I never learned the raging ability of my father’s brethren. All the more reason for the other boys to bully me. While running away from Bjorn and his friends I was rescued by an elderly man named Bron. He was the tribes Skald, proficient in music and spoken word. After pleading with him he took me under his wing. My status improved when I became his apprentice.
At 16 as part of my graduation I was assigned to a hunting party. Leading the group was Bjorn, the chieftain’s son and one of the most promising young warriors. 3 days out we were surprised by a wooly rhinoceros. Seeing the behemoth our party scattered. Young and old looked at Bjorn for direction and leadership but were sadly disappointed. Clueless, looking for guidance himself Bjorn failed. I didn’t share their apprehension and used my trusted horn to rally and inspire them while we fought and killed the beast. Returning to the village I was praised for saving the group, the chieftain even gave me the rhino’s horn, a great honor among our tribe.
2 days later Bron came to our tent Come with me if you want to live he said Bjorn wants your head, he blames you for his failure and will kill you. Gathering my belongings and saying goodbye to Brenna we left that night. We traveled south for weeks, by land and sea, to come a city named Riddleport. He stayed for a week then he said he had to return to his people. I love you like a son, make me proud. Presenting me with a horn made from ivory, the rhinoceros horn I had received as reward.
Alone in a foreign country frightened most people but not me. Fascinated by the sights, smells and sounds I used my own skills to entertain in the local inn’s and taverns. Weeks later, after performing at the Dragon’s Hoard a local gambling hall, I meet Cilia, priestess of Cayden Cailean. After sharing drinks and a bed it became apparent we clicked.
After a romantic relationship, which lasted a year, we decided it was better to be friends. We traveled together for 2 more years. During this time I learned about Cayden Cailean and I became a devout follower myself. When Cilia is called back to her temple I decides not to follow her.
About month ago I attended the wedding of Colin and Muriel Monclier. The father of the bride Victor Russoux, after seeing one of my recent performances, had asked to entertain his guests with song and story. In the evening, while I was performing, a group of masked individuals enters the hall, holding axes and swords. Hand over your valuables If you want to live the apparent leader says. A couple of people resist, one of them being the groom, but they are quickly subdued. Using my abilities and spells I get the thugs to leave without any more injuries or deaths. Victor is very grateful for my help in saving his son in law. I accept his generous offer to accompany the family to their villa in Brevoy where I can enjoy life at his expenses for as long as I want. After staying with the Russoux family for a while I decide to leave. Victor Russoux hands me a letter Go to the Randy Sasquatch a local tavern and ask for Lord Alystair. Before I even start to asks my questions he says Don’t ask, just experience. My last gift to you for all you have done. Read the letter if you want. I shake his outstretched hand and turn around with a smile on my face. New adventure, new experiences, new stories to tell and or sing about.
Holding the letter in his hand Jorn again looked at Melindra. One more night of fun, tomorrow will be soon enough to the start my grand adventure.

A young man, late teens, early twenties, standing 6 feet, 8 inches tall. Lean build. Boyish looks, dark hair and eyes radiating with a golden hue. Wearing a chain shirt and a rapier at his side and a buckler, bow and quiver on his back. A large tankard is depicted on the small buckler.

Lord Alystair Boehnre, Aldori, 3rd of Boehnre, 27th of Rostov, Scion of Brevoy,
Along with this letter of recommendation I give you Jorn Winterbourne. He is a devout follower of Cayden Cailean and a virtuoso with horn and voice. Stepping up in situations where others cower. You must have heard about the unpleasantness at my daughter’s wedding. The man standing before you saved my son in laws life.
With kind regard,
Your friend Victor Russoux.
Thanks again for the bottle of exquisite elven wine and the set of glasses. Let me know when you have time to join me and my wife for dinner at the house.

I see Jorn as a possible leader. Buffing and healing the party. Good social skills.
For me personally I just want to have fun, nice pace. I see these boards as an opportunity to enhance my roleplaying skills so I can use them in my RL roleplaying group.
