Maran Gor PC

Name

This character was born a Tarshite or Sartarite farmer. Grew up knowing and loving the land, and clearly gifted in such skills and arts. he was given a new area to recover from wilderness and prepare for planting, and poured his heart and soul into it. Clearing bushes, stones etc. Planting the right fallow plants and crops that would prepare the soil for growing crops, and it looked to be a plot blessed by Barntar and Ernalda both. Everyone expected him to dedicate to Barntar and become the local Barntar godi, and a blessing to the local clans for years to come.

Then his childhood sweetheart was named Harvest Queen. And his childhood rival/nemesis was nominated the local representative in the sacred challenge. And won the contest and his sweetheart.

The plot of now-fertile farmland was given to them as a wedding gift.

Driven by bitter anger and resentment, the character sneaks out to the plot he had poured so much love into a few nights later and performs a self-scarification blood ritual, calling on Maran Gor to see that if he can't have the plot (as he had come to expect) then no-one could. Maran Gor granted his request, blasting the life from the new farm field. In horror at his own actions, he watched the plants whither, the pond in the corner become filled with algae, and the soil turn to powder before him, this character ran from his clan. After wandering a few days, he bumped into an Earthshaker Priestess who had been ?sent to investigate this powerful invocation of her goddess, and was recognized as the agent of the miracle and was brought back to the temple for containment and training as this young man had an unusual tie to the Earth Pantheon, usually restricted to women.

Thus he learnt Earth magics and combat arts, the arts of women and men both until one day he woke from a dream of a lost Earth Temple, struggling against an unseen foe, and a few words - "Excuse me, August sir..."
