About Liran Ver'Ha

Growing up in Greengold, Lirin was always rambunctious for an elf. He preferred to play with the humans rather than the other elves, and was always quick with a joke or a smile. This in itself was only an oddity added to the fact that his parents had a great deal of children. While most elven families have only 2 children, or perhaps more if adopted, Lirin’s family had 5 elven children. Lirin was always energetic though and his precociousness led him to meeting Derethor Ter’Minal, an elven knight of minor renown and old world values. Derethor perhaps saw something in Lirin, or perhaps was simply getting so old, and without family of his own, wished to pass on the ancient traditions of elven knights of yore. Regardless the reason, Derethor requested that Lirin be put into his charge as his squire. At the young age of 45, Lirin set out from home with Derethor. They did not travel that wide, but Derethor made sure to impart upon his squire all of the teachings and codes he knew, training the young elf in the art of war and chivalry. Battle was not a common thing, besides a few minor bandits and a goblin here and there; Derethor was more of a diplomat. His twilight years made it dangerous for him to ride into battle, but the few times he did, Lirin saw the ancient and powerful skill the man wielded.
After 56 years of mentorship, Derethor released Lirin from his service, and declared that he was ready to go into the world, a Knight of the Dragon, and do good for those he finds in need. Derethor himself finally retired to the queens’ court, acting as one of her advisors and diplomats. Lirin then traveled home, now proudly bearing the tabard of the Order of the Dragon. While he remained an energetic individual, with a good amount of seemingly not elven qualities, such as his love for good drink, song, food, and boasting, his travels and mentorship had tempered him. Behind this veil of false bravado he is a very patient man, and a quick thinker with a keen intellect and tactical mind.
He set off with some of his siblings soon after his arrival back in Greengold. Lirin was drawn to the cause of Andoran. He had assisted Derethor in this war, the knight not fighting as much as strategizing, his keen strategically focused mind only sharper after centuries of service. Lirin himself fought some in the war, usually in defense of his Knight, and had grown fond of the Andorans, and their cause. So in the Spring of 4701 AR, he left home, some of his siblings following, and traveled to Andoran. There he made contact with the Pathfinder Society by way of some of his older friends from the war, their tales of adventure and exploration luring him to their ranks, and he has been there, fighting alongside his siblings ever since. Placing himself in the front line to protect his comrades with sword and shield.
