## History

### Pre-Age:

Grotti was born in District 3 of Haven, where he was raised within a community of Half-Orcs alongside his siblings. While other Half-Orcs enjoyed their tradition Grotti couldn't connect with his own culture, this lead to him being outcast by most of his peers. When his older brother Brahma turned 20 he left for another district to become a gladiator, and while he told Grotti "He'll be back" the thing is he never came back. As much as he wanted to leave and find his brother, Grotti felt like he had responsibility to stay with his community and take care of his family. At least until the blaming started to happen, "You should have left to find your brother" or "I wished you left instead" was the constant thing he heard from his peers and even his own mother when he turned 20 he decided to take a page from his brother and leave his district.

However, things weren't as simple as Grotti thought. For starters, he never been outside of his district so had no direction on where to go or even where one would become a gladiator and before he knew it he was lost in the city. While aimlessly wondering the city a kind priest took time to listen to his troubles and offered him a place to rest for the day. Moved by his kindness Grotti offered to show his gratitude by assisting his church, through this Grotti was introduced to the church of Arthanon.

For the next two years Grotti worked for the church, feeling content in finding a place he belongs but this feeling wouldn't last. As he became more fluent in the teachings he slowly felt guilty. While he didn't regret leaving his community, he felt that he abandoned his brother one of the few people that he considered a friend. One day whilst doing his daily routine, a regular parishioner informed him of wonderful news. "I saw someone that looked like you the other day, but I knew it wasn't you, he looked too roughed." Thrilled by the chance of potentially finding his brother Grotti ventured off to where his brother was last seen hoping he could pick up the trail.

## Age of Heroes:

### **A Shadowy Presence:**

During their travels, Grotti, Rolen, and Petra encountered a shadowy creature slowly approaching them. Taking to action when it got close enough Grotti used guiding bolt and killed it one shot.

### **Call of Arthanon:**

During a heated battle with Antlions, Grotti and his friends were seemingly outmatched, so he calls upon his God to aid them or at least spare his friends, when things were looking grim a miracle happen the very earth itself started to shake scaring the Antlions away and saving his allies. From this event Grotti realized that he wanted to rise in his church and become a patriot saint so that he may further spread the word of Arthanon.

### **Disarmed:**

During travel Grotti and his friends ran into a group of orcs, the orcs were easily dispatched of but the chief didn't seem to care angering Grotti to challenge the chief. The chief landing a damaging blow, sliced off Grotti's arm, the fight was over when Rolen killed the chief with magic missile. Since then Grotti has acquired a prosthetic arm, but has currently given it to another player to improve it. He's not sadden about his loss, he makes jokes on it occasionally.

### **A Unique Experience:**

On their way to the Sunless Citadel, Grotti and his friends encountered a unicorn. They took time to watch this majestic creature.

### **Sunless Citadel:**

For this adventure they were tasked in finding a lost group of adventurers but while there ran into Kobolds who were also a dragon cult. Finding a lone and miserable Kobold, Grotti learned that they lost their dragon from a group of goblins. After talking with their leader the party agreed to find their dragon in exchange for a reward and safety. Traversing the depths of the citadel they passed many traps and killed many goblins, during their mission they met Cecilia who joined their party. After many trials they finally found the dragon but had to use force to knock it out and return it, currently they are on good terms with the Sunless Citadel Kobolds.

### **A stranger At Night:**

While on the journey back, Grotti was awakened for night watch to his surprise there was someone at camp. It was clear that Petra let the guy stay until her shift was over, and with the memory of Kaza Kahn, Grotti didn't try to offer him much but at the same time he didn't have much to offer.
