==History==
Rowayn's father was killed in a hunting accident when he was a baby. Jolindre Astil, a fiery and determined woman, struggled to run the farm and raise Rowayn and his two elder siblings alone. His unusual coloring is a gift from his father, who was a foreign merchant running his own business before a deal with an unscrupulous vendor forced him into bankruptcy. With what little money he could find, Marcin Astil bought a strip of isolated land nobody wanted, found a wife, and settled down.
 
Difficult life on a rural farm has not dampened Rowayn's natural exuberance and good humor. Gentle and slow to anger, Rowayn is most likely to respond to an insult with a smile and comfortable silence. This puts off most lesser bullies but has made him unpopular with the truly mean-spirited in the region. His ready grin and easygoing manner has earned him many friends among the other farmers' children, boys and girls alike. He tends to be something of a dreamer; he loves to read and entertains his friends and family by reciting portions of favorite stories and even making up a few of his own.
 
Rowayn does not neglect his duties on the farm, however. He is hardworking, diligent, and good with his hands. In lieu of his father, his older brother Tornum has taught Rowayn what he knows of farming and woodscraft. Rowayn is an excellent hunter and tracker, a natural with the bow. On their long hunting trips together, he and Tornum spent hours stargazing, fighting mock battles with sticks and talking of the adventures they'd someday have. He has a rudimentary knowledge of herblore and cooking as a result of these trips, along with a great appreciation of the outdoors.
 
Physically, Rowayn is more lithe than muscular. He is a champion sprinter and swimmer. Although not tall or exceptionally strong, he is agile enough to win the wrestling competition at Beltine each year. He is also a superior rider, and, for whatever reason, good with children.
 
When Jolindre Astil died six months ago, Tornum inherited the farm, and Rowayn stayed on as an extra pair of hands and good company. It was an excellent arrangement until Tornum's young wife became pregnant. It seemed to Rowayn that Tornum's attention was completely caught up in his wife and future child, and sure enough their hunting trips and late-night talks grew less frequent and then stopped. His elder sister had married a blacksmith years ago, and by bits Rowayn's loneliness grew unbearable. At length, Rowayn left with his brother's best wishes to travel to Tar Valon and become a Warder, his childhood dream. With luck, his daydreaming of adventure will bear fruit.
