Eclipsed

Backstory

Aroconis was a coastal village, located within the Cristonian territory. The village was small and developed newly after the Great Flood struck, which had pushed many fauna and fish inward. Aroconis was able to utilize this to specialise in providing fishing and hunting goods to the larger towns of Cristonia.

Another turnout of the Great Flood however was the increase in water-based invasions, leading to a viking camp being created relatively close by to Aroconis. The people of Aroconis were able to fend off these vikings each time they invaded, always having the light to see and enough bowmen to keep them back, but one moonless, cloudy night, the vikings struck from the darkness and set the Aroconis ablaze in the matter of minutes.

Eclipsed was 9 years old when this attack came. His father, one of the best hunters of Aroconis, pulled Eclipsed away from the fight, following a plan created when the first invasion attempt occured. The children of the village were grouped together on a fishing boat along with one adult to row. The trip took the entire night then the day after, both in near total darkness.

After the long trip of children crying for their parents, they docked on the new port of Easthaven. A small orphanage was set up, sending kids off to new homes to be taken care of. Eclipsed, sour and cold from the recent loss, was picked to help a tavernworker seeking an apprentice. There he learnt the skills to run a tavern, and heard many stories from the travellers that came by. Slowly, the wild and far drawn stories of others grew a new light within Eclipsed. He came to realise just how bright the world could be, despite all that had happened.

At the age of 18, Eclipsed was finally ready to leave the tavern to pursue starting one of his own. His new look on life kept his hopes high and let him put on a big smile with everyone he meets.

Finally, if anyone I've met actually ends up coming back here. This was my first ever attempt at roleplaying and you all made this amazing for me. Thank you so much for giving me such a great experience and I hope you all find yourselves more fun times ahead. It was so great getting to meet all of you and your characters and I will never forget how interesting this place was. Farewell, and safe travels!
