History
Aerondale was born in the icy mountains of the Hammer Clan of Nordmar. At his early steps, he grew fond of taking hunting trips and communicating with his senses, was trained in the art of hunting and was enough familiar with both the bow and crossbow. One terrible day, he visited his uncle in order to learn how to gut animals more efficiently in order to obtain meat and leather. The two men were out hunting in the cold woods until a snow storm kicked in. Knowing the weather conditions they hid in a nearby shelter built by hunters for such purposes. But the dark caught them and dark things followed. As they left the shelter in search of firewood and food, they were attacked by a snow shadowbeast, that was hunting around the area. As Aerondale's uncle tried to get an angle on it, the young apprentice charged to the beast by swinging his sword in the air. But little matter, as the boy was only 8 years old and his sword was more like a knife against such creature, he stood no chance. In order to save the boy his uncle got in the between, digging his axe deep into the creature's skull but got bitten in the process. Aerondale managed to drag his uncle away from the forest as the howling of the wolves was following them. He left his uncle to survive the hunt. Now, he was the prey, unable to outrun the creatures, he hid underneath a small hole between two huge trees. There he covered himself with mud, to cover the smell as his uncle taught him. Two days afterwards, he managed to escape the forest and got back to his village, near the Hammer clan, discovering even a worse scenario that fate have kept for him.
As he approached his home, the young boy discovered that they were attacked by bandits and his father was slain. "My brother" he thought then "Mother"...
Only to find his mother butchered and raped and his father crossed outside their main gate. His brother was found under a pack of pelts and skins, crying for help, he was only 1,5. One man was lying dead and the young boy looked at his crest. Only to discover 2 years later, that this crest belonged to the King's mercenaries, that were sent to scout the area near the Hammer clan. Furious with the King and all Myrtanians he and his brother lived by sword and bow, fighting, killing, hunting as they pleased. Only to find themselves on a ship, heading for a free land. Or so they thought.
