 **Beliefs**

Sir **Sindri Anderlin** is a Redridge Knight who represents the village of Skyguard. When he is not acting as their militia commander, or in his capacity as a Knight of Stormwind, he is usually found tending to his orchard, distilling various wine and ciders.

## Personality & Beliefs

Underneath his stern or grim demeanor, Sindri is found to be quite forthright and respectful and will return such mutual respect fervently.

He does what he can to uphold most laws, but due to the failings of the past with various rebellions and issues during times of crisis, he believes that people should do their utmost to do the right thing, trying to either protect or save as many innocent lives as one should.

Sindri views those that take roles of leadership in high regard, but if they flaunt their power, ego, or seek to put down others he won't hesitate to intervene, even if it might cause him harm or disgrace.

He is a man of action, and will not stand for wasting his or anyone's time, especially when a decision should be made. If no one will choose a course of action, he will and bear the responsibility of it.

## Description

Sindri stands about six foot tall, and has a muscular physique. His eyes hold orchid hues and his hair is raven black in color. He usually depicts a stern or grim visage when deep in thought or aloof.

On his upper right arm, he has an intricate gryphon wing tattoo with the phrase in common: "No one soars too high if he soars with his own wings."

If he is not in his ceremonial knight armor or uniform, he usually sports rather plain town clothes, and common farmer's attire when tending to his orchard in Skyguard.

## Biography

Sindri grew up in the quaint village of Skyguard found in the southern mountains of the Redridge Mountains area, specifically the ridge that separated it from the Swamp of Sorrows further to the south.

Although it was distant from the bulk of the gnoll camps and the concentration of Blackrock Orcs to the North, the area would still find it periodically raided by small wandering packs of foes and vicious beasts. Militia training began as soon as a child could hold a wooden training sword and among his peers, Sindri had a natural talent with both it and a shield.

He and his friends were able to get out of many close calls with the dangerous wildlife in their home, and Sindri would be found holding the line and making the necessary calls to ensure everyone would come home safely.

### Legion

It only took the first invasion for many of the young men and women to enlist in the Stormwind Army. Much of their training took place on the field, tending to the defense of Elwynn Forest, Westfall, Darkshire, and even Redridge.

With each battle, their confidence grew and Sindri and his friends knew as long as they stuck together, they had nothing to fear. That is until they were dispatched to aid in the assault at the Tomb of Sargeras.

The invasion was pure chaos, more so than any conflict they participated in thus far. The proud alliance naval vessels that many of them dreamed to crew one day were sunk one after another to massive fel fireballs, they even witnessed Horde zeppelins and Alliance gunships sundered by the obsidian obelisk vessels the Legion conjured from beyond their world.

It was on those shores they lost their first true friend, Cade Holt. He wanted nothing more than to travel Azeroth once he knew his family was safe.

During the second invasion, with the Armies of Legionfall, they lost the second, Leo Stafford. He was going to propose to his girlfriend after coming back a war hero.

Each loss only wracked Sindri with more guilt, as he felt that he personally shattered their dreams in failing to bring them home, despite the overwhelming strength they faced.

### The Fourth War

Sindri at this point in his life was promoted to Master Sergeant, becoming well-known as a trusted squad leader and Alliance skirmisher. The tensions between the Horde and Alliance were about to boil over fully into all out war once more.

He and his squad travelled from invasion to invasion, crisis point to crisis point, engaging the Horde at each possible conflict, taking many victories, but also some of the hardest losses.

Darian Cromwell, wanted nothing more than to open his own shop and start a family of his own.

Kathrin Hayes, had the largest crush on Darian and was going to tell him after the war. She wanted to also make sure his dreams were fulfilled.

Carley Prescott, one of the best marksmen they knew, she wanted to join with SI:7 after serving this tour.

The only person from the original group that remained was their medic, Vallis Landon. He sought to open his own clinic and ensure Skyguard would have quality doctors and healers, even in such a remote area.

They were both welcomed as heroes, but the years of war had both hardened their outlook on the world. Once bright eyed young men with goals of changing their futures for the better, now solemn and grounded in young adult life...

### Shadowlands

Sindri was Knighted officially by the Stormwind Marshals at this point for his prior service. Earning his not just this title but the Lion's Fang and Lion's Bastion kite shield that would reflect his physical prowess that served the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Alliance over the many years.

He attained a great deal of personal honor among his people but the loss of his friends and many of the men he served with made him lethargic, and despondent. He was in the perfect position to uphold his values he held close to his heart, but he could not save his friends and students, how could he keep going?

He recused himself to his Orchard, working with his wife to revitalize it once more and hopefully find solace and healing he needed.

The sky was sundered and cracked open, and the Scourge once more began to run rampant across Azeroth. He was the best hope for his fellow villagers and focused on defending them from the onslaught.

His wife, Iris, fell ill due to the unholy plague that still was found within these forces and passed away despite Sindri's efforts defending most of his kinsmen. His rage was unleashed on the only thing he could find, the ranks of undead before him, manifest a divine rage that could not be quelled until he passed out from exhaustion.

It was days, weeks even before Vallis and the local Magistrate approached the orchard to look in on the knight, finding him gaunt and disheveled.

The people came together and helped to restore the Anderlin Orchard, Vallis returned to tend to Sindri's waned physique, assuring him that all is not lost. Much of the gnarled roots and weed filled fields were cleaned up and the Orchard began to harvest it's crops once again.

It was a long year and a half, but Sindri managed to return mostly to his old self. He was helping his neighbors and fellow villagers, teaching everyone on how to defend themselves and personally leading the town militia in various times of crisis.
