Bristenn Mires

Bristenn Mires, now twenty years old (twenty-one on Phoenatos 17th), was born to a lower middle class family in Wehnimer's Landing. His father was a trapper and his mother a seamstress working with Dari's clothiers. When he was a boy, his parents told him stories of the first War for the Griffin Sword, and it was then that he first heard of the horrors wrought by the undead. Bristenn decided that, throughout all the horrors of the world, the undead had to be the most mistaken and most miserable- souls cruelly bound to their bodies by dark forces of Chaos or Daemon or worse.

He was raised in Wehnimer's Landing until he was about sixteen or seventeen. When the Bregandians attacked the Landing some years ago, before the week long siege Bristenn's parents fled to the free port of Solhaven. Bristenn stayed like any child with dreams of glory would and saw first hand what war was really about. Appalled, Bristenn swore from then on to never let anything but honor, mercy, and justice guide any weapon he brandished, and there his dreams of becoming a Paladin were fostered. It was then that he decided Voln would be his patron, and to this day hopes that the Great Spirit will manifest to him in something more than Symbols and prayers. A bolt from the heavens, a one-time comrade, a bolstered resolve or a stunning victory.. or simply just a cool breeze to heal his spirits.

To this day his parents still live in 'Haven, a town he has spent many of his adventures in and truly loves, but his allegiance holds to the Landing (thus why he has no chosen cultural background- there's no choice for 'Human from Wehnimer's Landing'). He's in love with Laella Eltinsan, a Sylvankind ranger, who doubles as his confidant and best friend next to Egred, commonly known as Purplenyte.
