Character History
Homeland, Family, and Childhood
Homeland: Restov Parents: Mother Alive Siblings: None Circumstances of Birth: Bastard Born (Orlovsky) Parent's (Mother) Profession: Tradespeople (Textiles) Childhood: Academy Training (Restov Bardic Academy, Family was well-off enough to send me off as soon as I was old enough): You attended a private academy where you studied a number of skills and gained training in your current profession. Whether you were a brilliant student or a dropout, the university environment was your home for a good portion of your formative years.
Adolescence and Training Training: Worldshaker: Since childhood, you’ve observed the world around you and translated those observations into story and song. Your unique, unabashed vision resonated with the audience, revealing new perspectives as well as simple truths. You’re used to people quoting your words and looking up to you, though some authority figures deem you a rabble-rouser and troublemaker.
Influential Associate: The Champion (This is Grikk by the way): You were close to someone who excelled at athletic endeavors and tests of strength or skill. Through your friendship or rivalry, you developed the competitive spirit that continues to drive you in everything you do.
Moral Conflicts, Relationships

In his words:
A man’s life has three stories: Where he’s from, where he is now, and where he’s going. There might be some variation of them, some twists, some abridging, or some embellishment, but there’s always three. Each one is retold everyday of his life.
Now where I’m from is a matter of some dispute. Mother says I’m really an Orlovsky. We were poor, but not as poor as many. Growing up in Restov, Mom earned a living weaving. At night she told me stories of heroes and beings of legend. Those nights just before I fell asleep, I learned power of a story. We owe it to each other to tell stories. Stories heal. Stories inspire. Stories change the world. It doesn’t matter what happened. What matters is the story about it. Of course some events have better stories, a vanished royal house for example.
When I wasn’t spinning tales for my friends, I’d pretend to be an Aldori Swordlord. My first swords were sticks. Later some of the men around town were willing to show me a thing or two, usually out of pity for a bastard.
My bruises are a part of where I am now. Word to the wise, don’t get drunk and boast about being the son of Poul Orlovsky within earshot of Surtova loyalists. A few of them got them jump on me on my way home. These days, I try to keep the matter of my parentage to myself. Of course, most everyone knows about it. I wasn’t always so willing to be , but now I like to think I’ve learned how to talk my way out of most trouble. I have a letter, a worn note of love and apology from Lord Orlovsky. I don’t even know if he remembers sending it. A few years ago, I tried to use it to prove my lineage. Everyone dismissed it as a forgery.
After that Mom surprised me with a gift. The letter came with some gold coins. She’d kept them hidden for me. She told me it might be a good idea to see the world. Spread some stories around. I think she just thought it was a good idea for me to lay low for a while. I wasn’t ever very good at that. I spent a year wandering around, telling people stories, and making friends. I even made some money from it and bought a proper sword.
Where I’m going is south, to the Stolen Lands. The Swordlords have put out charters for. Now it’s time to the story of who I will be. No matter how it unfolds or who I become: a soldier, diplomat, swordsman, or settler. I will always be a storyteller.
