Vyrïl

Level 6 Wood Elf Ranger

Early Life
Vyril's story begins in the Coldwood, where the Spine of the World meets the Ice Spires, where the Icespear River's tributaries cut a jagged path through the tundra. So frigid is the air in that remote land, that the ground is covered with several inches of snow even during the height of summer. In country as harsh as this, even youths must hunt, and so the boy trained with bow and spear and sword. Elves lives are long as northern winters are harsh, and four score years saw an equal number of Vyril's tribesmen buried in the foothills. As game grew more scarce he learned to range farther from his tribe's stronghold, poaching game from Uthgardt barbarian tribes' hunting grounds deep in the Druarwood.

Vyril returned late one night from one such expedition, laden with the spoils of his hunt, to find his village in flames. Border disputes with the Black Lion and Red Tiger were common, but the devastation that greeted Vyril as he crested the hill defied comprehension. The stronghold had been wiped off the map, with little but bloody boar tracks to mark the battle. Drifting snow masked the ruins, slowly burying the dying. As the survivors began to turn, Vyril fled, never to return.

Later Life
An impossibly skilled marksman with an iron stomach, Vyril made his way south, feasting on the myriad game and woodland bounty available in the expansive wilderness whether suitable for elven consumption or not. As a skilled tracker and navigator of the woods, Vyril was recruited by the Brotherhood of Fortune for assistance on a mission Vyril presumed trivial: help the Brotherhood traverse the jungle, secure an ancient dwarven mine, and plunder the spoils that lay within.

Of course, when it's a mission in service to the Brotherhood of Fortune, nothing occurs as presumed, and Vyril soon found himself face-to-face with a horrifying cult ritual and the ghastly visage of its conjured fire elemental. In the ensuing destruction, Vyril found himself a marked elf, and the company of the Brotherhood seemed the only company to keep.
