Reyngar

Background
Reyngar was born to a small tribe in the mountains, second born to his twin brother Ragnyer. Their early childhood was idyllic, but as the brothers continued to age their differences grew apparent. Whereas Ragnyer was blessed with strength, good looks, and his parent’s adoration, Reyngar was in a constant state of disappointment. Whether it be to his parents, his brother, or his tribe… he never seemed to be able to do anything right. He was last in his class, worst in the arena, and slowest on the trail.

Rather than try to build their son up, in their shame his parents shunned him. Ragyner was put on a pedestal, while Reyngar was oft left alone in the tent, told to not come out lest someone be forced to look upon his disgrace. This continued for many years, until Reyngar was all but beaten down into a lifeless shadow of his successful twin.

He managed to hang on to hope solely through his prayers to Xamir. While his family and tribe all worshipped Vosmos, God of Strength; Reyngar wanted little to do with him. Xamir represented the power of oneself, the ability to continue forward no matter the weight upon ones’ shoulders.

It was through this faith that Reyngar held on until the fateful day of his banishment. He had been tasked with picking berries- but… in a fit of bad luck, ended up delivering a bushel of elderberries in the mix. The onset of sickness lead to a concatany of agreement that he had become not only a danger to himself, but the tribe as well.

It was during his time alone that Reyngar came to find peace. The judging eyes and expectations laid aside, he for the first time was able to exist in a state with only the weight of his own survival.

During this time he learned for himself the great power of nature- solitude granting him the mindfulness to master control of the primal force of lightning. Wandering the plains, he one day decided to steel himself and explore a community once more; entering the capitol gates and happening upon a tavern.
