Personal History
Born in Barrwater Accord to an affluent family, Ort’s upbringing was troubled. As a young, self-entitled youngster he was lead into trouble. Made me lazy/reticent/procrastinate? No drive?
Raised by the teachers and mentors at the School of Aryas, training you to your current profession.
Ort learned the basics after being enrolled there by his parents, but got frustrated and ultimately disillusioned at the perceived limits of the teachings. He became reticent and ended up simply "working" there as a guard. For decades...
Major Life Events
Formative Years:
Your group of friends get you into trouble with a local authority and your parent/guardian forbids you from seeing them again. Perhaps there was a glimpse of Ort’s powers, and his parents took action.
Adolescent Years:
The Eratèa family demands the most of all its members. After a troubled early adolescence, Ort is sent to Aryas Assembly to learn some discipline. Following his initial training, he is put to work, to foster strength, experience, and discipline.
Early Adult Years:
A close family member becomes entangled with a religious cult. Ort knows it is bad for them, but they refuse to listen. She leaves, for reasons Ort doesn’t understand or she won’t talk about. Before she left, she promised she would return when in greatest need.
Family connections
See Eratèa family for other siblings and family members.
Gramma Ialli gave me something
Orthè Mildbough (sister)
Married to Letholdus Mildbough - they work the stores and hope to inherit the business. They both resent Ort for his reticence, and fear that he as eldest (presumed living) sibling could inherit the business (rival)
Iyandè Eratèa (sister, eldest sibling)
Left long ago, for reasons Ort doesn’t understand or she won’t talk about. Before she left, she promised she would return when Ort was in his hour of greatest need (ally)
Knight
Rumour: You heard from some of the other members of the School of Aryas that old objects from "the world that once was" can be dangerous. They can curse you if you are not careful. You have heard the best way to deal with them is to take them at least a tenday's walk away from any settlement. You then lay the object on a large flat stone, in the centre of a circle of 6 stones. If you come back in a week the object will be gone and nature spirits may reward you.
