**Backstory:**

The Rothenel's were part of House Silme. Made up of their father Sonne, mother Ellwyn, younger daughter Torrie, and eldest son Morren it was an unlikely house. A military father wed to a cleric of a mother made for an unlikely family that loved each other. Their home was just east of the great city of Elysenas and south of Numeia.

Morren was one of two very gifted healers from the same family. Unfortunately the family was incomplete. Morren and Torrie (his sister) were left without a father after an unexplained killing of the military leader. Morren did his best not to preoccupy and drive himself crazy with finding out what exactly happened. But rather he devoted his time to studies of angels and demons. His diligence in his studies was only rivalled by his natural affinity to mend and heal the body with little effort.

He was placed in temple along with his sister by his mother once discovered what great talent they each had. His sister Torrie, also very talented, was showing many promising aspirations as a Cleric. Her talents did not parallel and show as immediately though which also caused a slight friction between the two siblings. Although the siblings care for each other there has always been great competition between the two. Morren almost always found himself the victory between their competitions but secretly loved when Torrie would find a way to beat him.

The siblings both worship the god of Aerdrie Faenya. As their mother before them they all believe in signs from their god and to always trust what they are shown, even if others aren't. One day after the growing concern of war coming north Morren was shown a vision in a dream to go find these certain faces of a ragtag bunch that seemed to be going wayward in the resistance. Aerdrie Faenya told Morren to find this alliance and help them, when Morren nodded he quickly blurted out "must I go alone?" and Aerdrie Faenya just smiled back and told him "You'll never be alone with your family and I." So Morren finds himself on the brink of a challenge he has never had to accomplish before. Gain the trust of people who do not know him all while fulfilling his duty to Aerdrie Faenya.

**Notable Quotes:**

“Here at my path's end I am lingering In deep darkness buried. Beyond towers strong and high Beyond all mountains steep (Sí na veth bâden im derel, Vi dúath dofn tummen. Atham meraid velig a tynd Athan eryd bain beraidh) Above all shadows rides the Sun. And stars always dwell. I will not say 'The day is done' Or to the stars 'farewell'. (Or 'waith bain nura Anor A panlû elin cuinar Ú-pedithon 'i-aur gwann' Egor nai îl 'namarië') - breaking the Prison (Kulathil) stone (Elvish version)

"No matter who tells me differently we brought back an ally, sometimes there are risks worth taking. All I want to do is spread light into the dark places in the world and if you ever feel distanced from the world without a place to go... the Rothenel's always have an open door for you. Just remember there are no friends in this house, only family. Families are lost sometimes, but never forgotten. If you ever need a family, you have one here" - family dinner
