Caranorn Aglaredhel

Lord Caranorn's Bio

My name be Caranorn Aglaredhel, a middle aged elven warrior. My parents, died shortly afta I was born, frem what my unca tole me, twas n epidemy at ta time, n many o ta fightin types passed way. I dun know nough bout my parents ta say anythin bout em. My unca on ta otha hand was ta one who guided me tagetha with his friends while I was young. He was known as Carandraug (Sr.), a twohanded elven warrior like me. He started drinkin shortly afore bein officially granted a title by ta local authorities, apparently, times had gotten hard fer all those who followed his path. Tis why he guided my steps so I'd nae have ta repeat his errors.

I ave trained in twohanded weapon combat as soon as I could stand on my own feet. Ta same goes obviously fer armor. Shortly afta first adventurin inta Elanthia's wilds, I also started trainin ta use lighta blunt weapons, shields n my hands n feet when I gots nae weapons. Otha skills that I picked up durin my years o wanderin are mana share, detectin (n occasionally disarmin) traps s well as bashin em boxes. I am best defined as a fightin elf. I value speed n good aim ovva heavy armour (tis why I still wears only chain armor, I prolly can place three good swings in ta time a giant er dwarf'd place two). Accordinly, I am a good stance danca when ta weatha is good. I will use ta various weapons
n pieces o armour I lugs round accordin ta the needs o my partners. I's rarely found swingin my battle axe er greatsword in a group (unless someone is in danger), I'd ratha use a mornin star, mace er jus my hands in those cases. If ye's evva fightin long my side, leave any ambushable critter's legs ta me, jus go fer ta head (unless we's a large group o course). Jus expect ta critter ta be lyin there stunned. If ye uses mana in combat (ta spell yerself up er ta attack our ennemies) jus tell me, n I'll keep ye up ta the limits o my abilities. Though, I generally keep some priorities, I first help healers n clerics first (they are good channelers, n they can helps a group most with their mana). Dun spell me up in combat unless ye see me gettin stunned, even wee chain armour is a good defense gainst most attacks. Ta same goes fer healin scratches in combat, nae need, I can takes ta damage, n if ye still wants ta help me, ye can always do it when we's in camp.

I will always answer yer questions, so ye can jus stop me in town er in any otha safe area ta chat. If fer some reason I dun gots time, I will tell ye when ye can find me lata, er give ye my scroll address n try ta help ye that way. If fer some reason I dun know ta answer ta yer questions, I will ask olda folk I grew up with, er send ye ta em (only if I knows they dun mind bein accosted in town n such). Methink I can helps with any matta concernin physical combat s well as many areas o magic. Archery, a skill which only became popular long afta I started adventurin, should prolly be left ta othas (but then gain, I know some serts). Sorcery is prolly ta only areas I knows nuthin whatsoevva bout, I ave hardly even had any friends o that profession in ages.

Hmm. also if I knows ye n ye needs money er equipment, ye can always ask. I might have what ye needs n ye could borrow it fer some time (my locka is burstin most o ta time). I's nevva really good on money, but if ye needs that kinda help n can remburse me within a predetermined timeframe, I will help.

Methink most is said, otha n my loyalties. I's been raised worshippin Lorminstra, a goddess who tends ta help us warriors lots while we's young. Now, that I's olda, I can return ta favour n help her in her continual fight gainst unlife, s well as make her work easia by bringin dead n wounded adventurers ta places they can receive help. Tis ta reason why I joined Voln early on. I mastered shortly afta bein titled n will help anyone o good will n behaviour. Here I gotsa ta say that I consider myself tollerant. I will nae consider sumeone evil cause they chose a wrong path n dunnae got ta courage ta reverse their steps. They was misguided when they was young, tis nae their fault, n who is ta say what we'd do if we was in their skin? At ta same time, I have a strong loathin o those who purpousely misguided these people, ta first on that list is obviously ta one called Phooba. He is ta one I blame fer ta death o my beloved sister, n ta retirement o most o my familly. I also sees lots o ta evil o Elanthia as comin frem his grasp. But, ta same as I loath those who intentionally harm othas, I also loath those who turn their backs on ta misguided. Ta way I found tis most likely ta put people on a betta path is ta helps em when they needs that help. Ta show em tis notha way. I try ta lead by example, I dun expects folk ta follow me, but I's verrae happy when they does. It dun even matta whetha they chose ta exact path I do, jus so long as they does good.

Uh gads, this is turnin inta a long biography. Methink I gots ta close it down bout now. I jus wanted ta say a few more words. In addition ta voln, I's also a memba o ta warrior guild, though I's nae verrae active in that area. At tis time, I still gots some relatives in ta lands, nae many though. Ta same can be said o my ole friends unfortunatelly, most i grew up with are gone. Tis why I spend evva more time in my keep doin scolarly work. Ye might occasionally see me bouts ta Landin, Solhaven er some huntin area, but no where s much as I used ta. Fer ta same reason I has become mostly inactive in House Onoir. I cannae make house meetins in any case due ta time constraints. Nevaless, I will always stand at ta disposal o anyone seekin help er advice. Tis why I'll leave my scroll address ere, ye can hand it ta otha folk too if ye find it useful.

I'll leave ye at tis point. Mayhap I'll ask Gormin ta place ta location o my privbate keep on ere sometime too. But it has been unda construction fer ovva a year now, n is unlikely ta be completed anytime soon.

I wish ye all ta best, n may ye enjoy Elanthia as much as i used ta, n hopefully will once gain in ta future.
