The Introduction
A towering garundi man's voice booms deep and low, rolling with surprisingly good humor given the grave subject, "AH, we get to announce ourselves? Excellent. I am Yobiaz, a paladin of.. " He pauses, his brow knitting, "well, I'm a paladin now. I am somewhat behind things as I was dead for three years. The forces of evil slew me, and I confess, should the chance arise, I look forward to a little payback." Yobiaz smiles , seeming to like the idea of smiting evil forces, then goes on " More important is that we treat the bones of our ancestors with respect, and put down any trouble that arises. Mother always said 'Yobiaz, you are big enough to clean up after yourself' and that was when I was a child, so big as I am now; there is more cleaning up I can do than ever! Anyone who has me along, provided they're not part of those evil forces I spoke of earlier, will find they can take cover behind my trusty shield, and the arm holding it..." He thinks it through "Well, behind me period. I'll be behind the shield. You'll be behind me. If you want. Where was I?"
A moment of focus is required as he draws his mule train of thought back on the proper path, "Ah yes, some of you may think as a paladin I will be too strict, too rigid, I assure you, while i hope for some decency among all my companions, I will try not to wag my finger too much. I am new to paladin-hood so am still figuring things out myself. I seek answers and believe I can find them on this endeavor. Perhaps you will help me? That would be VERY nice, and we might even become friends. Delightful yes? YES!" A face akin to burnt umber with shining dark gray eyes , a grin larger than ever full of warmth and good cheer emerges, he bobs in affirmation to his own speech. It's clear by his breastplate at high shine, the stout shield in his grip, and the good condition of the light flail at his side, that he has come prepared to smite evil and aid others as he said he would.

Yobiaz is a good fellow, if a bit simplistic at times. Roughly three years ago, he was a common caravan guard but of decent heart. When evil forces... may have just been bandits, he's a bit fuzzy on that, tried to take the ancient sacred relics of the Old Gods of the land from the caravan, Yobiaz, who had been raised to respect and honor them, gave his life to buy the caravan time to get away! It did! And.. he died.
In his defense, Yobiaz gave a good accounting of himself and the merchant sent the money he'd earned to his next of kin and even raised a glass to him later.
Garundi clans and families are tight, and when they heard of his sacrifice, they hired a guide, got his body, and .. buried him.
Roughly a week ago, he staggered out of his grave, naked as vulture in a molt, and startled the hell out of a lady putting flowers on another grave (Though one might wonder if she didn't enjoy the show a bit once he assured her he was not undead). Local Pharasmans were baffled, none of THEM had resurrected the fellow, and auguries indicated that while Pharasma 'allowed it' the actual party responsible was 'one of' the ancient gods of Osirian. Yobiaz actually tried to follow his mother's respect of the various gods that predated the Kelishite invasion and such. He prayed to them often. The problem? he has NO idea WHICH of them did it! He knows it must be a goodly or orderly god, for he is now graced with the blessings of a paladin.
It took awhile to haggle with his family to get SOME of the wealth he willed them back (There were some grumbles despite their joy at seeing him again) and he managed to get himself some gear. Hearing of the Wati Lottery, he has presented himself hoping to not just to help people while treating his nation's heritage with respect, but learn which of the Osirian gods not only brought him back, but selected him to be a paladin. And WHY?
