Far Traveler
I was born in a keep in Molderia, in the western coast of Soverai. While not being proper nomads, my family has moved around the world numerous times along the centuries. This is due to the Redeeming Quest, an ancient tradition of my kind, in which one of the family's member is chosen to travel the world in order to help "tormented souls" to atone for their malicious actions.
Long time ago, the family legend recounts, two brothers, Lornan and Leodeyr, grew up in extreme poverty. Nonetheless, both became skilled warriors, and subsequently famous paladins of the celestial angel Rhamiel, an ancient neutral good entity. Lornan however became corrupt with greed and power lust. Unwilling to kill his brother, Leodeyr asked Rhamiel to help him to redeem his brother, offering in exchange eternal servitude. He succeeded, able to convince his brother to relinquish his wickedness.
From that moment, and for generations after, a member of Leodeyr's lineage is chosen by the Spirit Sword, a sentient weapon containing part of Ramhiel's soul, to travel the world to repeat Leodeyr's ancient deed... and that's me!
Even though I am probably the least appropriate among my siblings (or at least is what my brothers and sisters think), I have been chosen for the Redeeming Quest, and made a deal with the spirit sword. I have been training since I was a child to become a paladin.
Initially I wasn't that happy with all the pressure, but the responsabilty grew on me, and now I am honored of my role. Together with my horse Eva, I have been travelling around the world, guided by Rhamiel, searching lost souls to be helped...
