Rondalo's page

Based on his age, Rondalo must have been born sometime around the appearance of the second moon above Eleidia, though the exactly when and where are difficult to say. He made his home in the desert wastes, only appearing to civilization at large once he was well into adulthood, somehow having not only survived but also garnered a wide range of knowledge and experience before then. Of course, his survival wasn't totally out of the question. After all, more than one settlement made its living off sand fishing - a practice of hunting the deserts large reptilian and insectoid inhabitants and whose use of sand skiffs and harpoons leads many to draw similarities to its ocean-bound counterpart. His apparent wisdom, on the other hand, was probably just a mixture of his ability to pick up on social cues and innate understanding of the things around him.

No, the most difficult thing by far for people, including himself, to come to terms with is his appearance. He's large, heavily built, beyond what most other men are capable of. His features carry a bestial mark: coarse fur, a square jaw and short, thick nose, elongated ears and sharper teeth all mark him as something more than human, elf, or even hybrid. Though is taciturn and calculating, even compassionate, Rondalo's appearance betrays something far more significant - be it curse or blessing.

Eventually this even drew that attention of the Knights of the New Moon as the burgeoning order could ill afford to overlook the possible significance of his existence. They offered hi membership, which Ronaldo subsequently accepted - partly because it served as a convenient means by which to explore the world and even do some good where he could. Mainly, though, he sees it as an opportunity to shed some light on his otherwise murky past. In this the Knighs and Ronaldo share a common goal. If Ronaldo were simply a mutant or, perhaps, some type of rare lycanthrope then his existence, while novel, is otherwise insignificant. On the other hand, if his birth bares any connection, even superficial, to the mystery of Eleidia's second moon then they have to pursue it. How exactly is another question entirely.
