Thamur

Thamur is known as a common citizen of Leafton, trying to make amends and move on from his past as a blood-spilling general of a faraway land. He became a member of Leafton when he journeyed across Oracle and stumbled upon the kingdom in the jungle.

## Early Life

Thamur was a soldier of Caern from the day he was born. Training ever since his youth, he eventually grew to take to tactics as his strongest forte in the Caernian army, serving five years of his life before ascending to the rank of general. “Close your heart. Close it to their suffering, their desperation. Do not feel for them, for they will not feel for you. It is kill or be killed.” These words echoed in Thamur’s mind as the empire he served. Coupled with the death, destruction, and chaos surrounding his daily life, as more enemies, and more innocents fell to his hands by day. Thamur eventually chose to strip himself of all emotion, garnering and bolstering his reputation as a feared, uncaring, merciless butcher of men– the Bloodborne General.

One day, whilst on a scouting mission with a small band of soldiers into a foreign territory filled with Troll bandits who had stolen from Caern’s national treasury, Thamur was ambushed by the same bandits whom he was ordered to take back dead or alive. Fighting bravely and courageously, he had managed to fend off his fair share of enemies, but it was all in vain, for he was soon outnumbered, and his men soon dead by Troll hands. On the brink of death, Thamur made a plea to the God of Murder, Bhaal, offering his life in service in exchange for unstoppable power. And so, from the flames of the volcanic Kivas Mountain, Bhaal crafted the Blade of Fury and bestowed it upon the general, granting him tremendous strength and magic but simultaneously binding him through a blood contract to kill as many as he could in his name.

With the passing of two more years, Thamur finds himself back home amongst his Orc family and friends, allowed a short reprieve from his duties by Caernian royalty. While away gathering firewood, a tribe of beastmen raided his home village, killing all they saw and leaving everything in ruin. Coming back only to find a dilapidated town, Thamur mourned and buried the dead, proceeding to track the beastmen down to their encampment. Upon finding it, Thamur simply walked inside, killing all in his path and razing the enemy village to the ground in righteous fury. Yet, amid the piles of bodies and the ashes of the beastmen outpost, he found himself tired, and weary of the endless bloodshed.

He had wished for peace, not death.

And thus, Thamur tracked down and found the one holding his blood contract to Bhaal, a Bhaalspawn, one with the power of flight. He knew that it was the one lone shackle chaining him down to this life of endless killing. Unable to kill it, Thamur wrestled the being into submission, finding his contract in the form of a single, crystallised droplet of his own, and Bhaal’s blood coagulated into one. Swiftly shattering the droplet, therefore breaking his bond, Thamur ran from his homeland, escaping through countries and continents before he finally arrived.

At the land of Oracle.

## Recent Life Events

Months had passed since Thamur had arrived on Oracle’s lands. He had journeyed through the lands and seas of the world, before stumbling upon the peaceful kingdom of Leafton. Visiting the quiet location, he slept by the calm waters of the kingdom before being found by Jayden, the Queen of Leafton.

It is here that Thamur was first given an official tour of the kingdom, and it was also here where he had decided to settle down here as an official citizen of the land. However, despite vowing to abide by the peaceful laws of Leafton and their patron deity Eldath, Thamur had still secretly felt doubts about the kingdom’s beliefs, and thus kept on his training everyday through clearing through the hordes of undead appearing within the borders, all in hopes to be able to protect his second home.

## Present Life Events

After joining the ranks of Leafton, Thamur can now be commonly found either constructing houses and buildings around the kingdom, sparring with other people, or putting down the undead. He also serves as the owner of a small tavern connected to his house.
