Danning Valendor was born in the small shire of evanglade into a
family of town warders. So from birth was taught the path of the
fighter. Expecting he did not have much of a choice he attacked his
training with zeal.

As he grew nearer to the age of adulthood his shire was attacked by
an orcish raiding party and his parents were killed. Not
understanding how these people could be killed so senslesly he gave
up the ways of the defender. Seeking out the closest thing the
village had left to a healer, he apprenticed himself to the village
trapper/tracker, Jason Aronreach, top learn the ways of the
wilderness and how a person could use nature to heal a wound and cure
an illness. The tracker not having a son of his own passed on every
piece of knowledge he had to this young elf hoping that one day it
could be put to use in the service of the witch queen.

When Danning reached the age of adulthood, He and his lifelong
companion Samual were returning from a trip to the northern forest
where they had heard of a poacher (Strom) who had been killing elk
for the horns and leaving the bodies to rot. Upon return to the area
of their home village, they saw several plumes of smoke from some of
the outlying farms. One of those being the home of Samual and his
sister (both parents were killed in the same raid as Danning).
Mourning the loss of his sister, they vowed to avenge her.

While traveling east towards the human lands they happened upon a
tavern in one of the smaller shires. While relating their sordid
tale to Annie the barmaid a local shopkeeper approached the pair..
Stating that he had overheard the pair telling of the lost sister, he
advised them that he had heard from a human trader, Alan, of an orc
caravan traveling east towards the local overlords slave camp with
several elvish women in tow. The friends were introduced to Alan and
the details were given to them of the caravan.

The two tracked the caravan for days seeking to find a way to rescue
the young elf. In one of these attempts, Samual was captured and
also taken into custody for future work at the mines.Danning barely
escaped himself.

With feelings of hopelessness washing over him, he wandered the woods
for several days barely avoiding capture by the assorted orcs looking
for him. Having to use every skill taught to him by his old
teacher. Finally able to hide near a clearing overlooking the
Felthera river.

Vowing to rescue his friends and avenge his parents, Danning has
returned to his village to claim the bow and cloak of his parents and
has set forth to pursue the orcs where they may be going.
