Sorle Yuleshkik

## History

All Sorle knows is his cave. Born in the cave, lived in the cave, grew more powerful in the cave. Sorle rarely saw the light but always preferred the darkness. He survived by consuming the insects residing within the cave. Over time his body merged with the Insect DNA creating a link between him and the insectoid lives around the area. Sorle began herding them and creating bonds with the wildlife, creating his own pack. He found comfort in the company of his companions and bugs. But since they could not speak to him, he created his puppet (Fernando) to converse with. Over the years?, even though Sorle had no sense of time passing unless peeking outside, he expanded his cave and tunneled out. He kindled more eggs and bolstered his ranks of bugs. They served as his scouts and warriors, loyal till death. But one fateful day as his bugs were scouting the surface, a hunter from a local town attacked them as he thought they were an invasive species eating all the wildlife. This two-bit hunter shot an arrow at one of the caterpillars but this drew the ire of the entire swarm. They tunneled underneath the hunter and skittered up his legs devouring him whole. Sorle sensed this through their connection but did not put any though into it until the bugs brought back the hunter's pouch and weapons.

After the death of the hunter, the town guards began to investigate, noticing their was a plague of insects near their territory. This became a huge problem and they put together a small detachment to remove this blight from their land. Unfortunately, this detachment was outclassed and very very outnumbered. After the detachment was obliterated, they sent an even larger platoon. Sorle took this as a threat and tunneled to the surface with his army. Face-to-face with the platoon, Sorle began speaking to them through Fernando(the puppet). He told them to stay away from his forest and caves and if so, that there would be no more casualties. But if they continued their march, they would turn into bug food in an instant. The Platoon, full of fear at this insane bug kobold, accepted and marched back to their town. They put signs up to stay out of the bug lands and warned everyone to keep out for their own safety. Though this did not make them forget about the menace threatening their land. They notified their local lord, who promptly sent a raven to his older brother that is a Hunter of Lysander. After receiving notice from his brother, the Hunter of Lysander named 'Bronten Schully' began making haste to his brother's lands. Soon after arriving he spoke with his brother and began preparing for the subjugation of the bug menace. Bronten set off towards the bug forest in the afternoon while the town waited in anticipation. They waited till the morning, yet, Bronten did not return in the morn. This shocked everyone in the township as they believed the Hunters of Lysandre were the strongest as they had to be chosen. The day Bronten fell, their whole worldview was thrown into chaos. No person in the town dared provoke Sorle ever again, nor would they go anywhere near his land.

A few years had passed and Sorle had grown his ranks to a "reasonable" size and had even grown his own strength. He became quite confident after discovering the identity of Bronten. But pride was of no real concern to Sorle as he merely wished to reign as the Insect King in his own lands. But one day, a raven carrying a letter arrived at a cave entrance. Sorle was quickly alerted through a bug's mental connection to him. He quickly retrieved the letter and read its contents. Apparently Lysander had noticed his achievement and recognized his strength. Perhaps noticing his "unique" skillset, Lysander invited Sorle to become a Hunter of Lysander. The letter also included a list of missions currently available. None but one intrigued Sorle. A special underground operation involving the Shellmind, involving the theft of a crown. Sorle was more intrigued by the biology of the Shellmind and wanted to research them. The mission was set to be in half a year's time.

Intrigued, Sorle began to ready himself for travel. Though he had never travelled far before. After deciding what bugs he would leave behind to guard his territory, he set off with a personal insect entourage. After a few months of travel, he arrived at the aforementioned location from the letter, meeting with a strange group of others. He quietly setup underground, keeping an eye on the group of three, waiting for further information before carrying on. Sorle had always been wary of others, especially this group. They all exuded a certain unique strength and Sorle's instincts were telling him to be careful around them.
