I have begun my training following not in my father's footsteps, rather an ancestor on my dear mother's side of the family. My late father was a blacksmith and the toiled fumes of his trade overcame him a few years back. He encouraged me to follow in his footsteps however it always felt like servants work, especially with the manner some of the customers would treat him! Barking orders without one hair of respect... "Vendor buy" "Vendor sell"; "Talias train"... My dear mother passed when I was a young lad however the stories she would share still bring warmth to my soul. My great, great grandfather was a legend in his time. A valiant paladin of Trinsic who defended the town against the great lich invasion led by Lady Minax. The evil lich lord general, Jou'nar, attacked the west gate where my ancient was stationed. He directed the defense however failed in his efforts resulting not only in his death, but also the fall of Trinsic. Although the city was later freed of the dark, evil magics by an army led by Lord Dupre, some still whisper that my great, great grandfather was to blame for Trinsic's fall. Thus, my path is laid and inspired in proving that falsity false. One can easily understand my disdain for the undead and magics given the hereditary shared my dear mother. I therefore took up the sword and am ridding the graveyards of the foul undead. In time, I will travel to the City of Paladins for directed training in the ways of chivalry. I will rebuild the honor, respect, and admiration for my family name. -Grellis http://www.uorenaissance.com/?page=m_player&id=5782
