Bio:

15 Years ago there was a remote Elven settlement deep in a wild forest. The settlement was all but besieged by corruption. Taint from the Far Realm, wondering undead and the occasional opportunistic bandit had brought the settlement to it’s knees.

The townsfolk had sent messengers out far and wide seeking assistance. None had returned. Those who remained holed up in the temple at the centre of the settlement. This Small Temple was dedicated to several Gods; Corellon, Melora, Pelor and Sehanine. There, upon the guidance of the resident Cleric, they prayed for help.

Help came in the from of a Wilden sapling, emerging from a thicket of brush at the edge of the settlement. Wandering about the clearing, his movement was quickly noticed by an Elf from within the Temple. Several Elves ran out and collected him before he could be attacked by one of the many horrors that stalked the surrounding forest.

In the following weeks the Elves raised him. He grew quickly, both physically and mentally. Showing an insatiable curiosity as well as a maturity well beyond his short life experience. They would take to calling him Van’ith, which means Forrest Child.

The Cleric soon noticed a divine aura about him, and took to teaching him all about Religion and the Divine. Van’ith seemed to soak up all this knowledge with ease, and often showed glimpses of further understanding beyond what even the Cleric knew.

Throughout this time the few remaining Elves protected the temple as best they could. Keeping the creatures at bay with their mastery of archery, and occasionally engaging the wandering horrors in melee with longswords as needed. When the skirmishes grew especially fierce the Cleric would bolster the elves with protective prayers and lash out against the horrors with blasts of divine energy.

One fateful day, the skirmishes grew so intense that even the Clerics assistance wasn’t enough to keep the horrors at bay. The elves fought a hard fighting retreat right up to the entrance to the temple. They hoped that the hallowed ground, and the temple walls of entwined branches and vines would provide enough protection for them to weather the attack until morning, when the monsters always withdrew back into the dark depths of the forest. Their hopes were wrong.

The blessings and enchantments weren’t strong enough. Nor was the living vegetation from which the temple was built. The elves continued to fight desperately, as any cornered animal that knows it’s about to die does. When suddenly Van’ith would join the fray. Wielding, of all things, a blessed candlestick! He invoked blasts of divine fury the likes of which the Cleric had never seen. At times they seemed to be vengefully fuelled by the very wounds the elves had received. With Van’iths additional help, the elves managed to hold out until morning. Several elves had fallen, and many more were gravely wounded, they knew they couldn’t survive another night, let alone another like that.

They licked their wounds, gathered what little they needed, and set off. Hoping to put enough distance between the settlement and themselves so that they may escape any pursuit. Being elves they travelled light and fast. Stopping occasionally to rest and redress wounds with bandage and prayer. It was during one of these stops that the normally quiet Van’ith spoke up, a glint of realisation in his eye.

“We are Vannerzad. Agent of Melora. Sent to cleanse the world of all taint.”
