About Michael StamfordMichael Stamford was born in Falcon's Hollow. His father worked as a lumberjack for the logging company, while his mother served as a housewife. As a child, Michael knew he didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lumberjack. Instead he sought battlefield glory and fame the likes of which the poets would chronicle. When he came of age, he left the town and tried to join an order of paladins, but found that the religious life didn't suit him. It was too strict and demanding, and it didn't sit well with his idea of what a knight should be due to the heavy preaching that went on. After squiring with them for only a short time, he left and set out to find a new means of attaining his knighthood. It was then that he stumbled upon the Order of the Dragon. In them he found a group of knights not bound by fealty to a god. Instead they were bound only by their kinship to one another, family, and friends. While perhaps not as glamorous as a paladin, they were far more suitable for Michael's personality. After completing his training with them, Michael traveled the countryside, trying to make a name for himself. But it wasn't long before word reached him that his hometown had fallen ill and that the lumber barons were doing nothing to help. Spurred on by his order's oath of loyalty to family and friends he set out to return home and provide aid in any way he could. Mount Vitals:
