My
name is Ourac Halfsoul. I am a warrior who hunts undead for the glory of Kai and
Voln. I remember exceedingly little my past, but I know that my future will
determine my past deeds.
One of the few things that I do remember
is my death. Each time I pass the place in Upper Trollfang where a Bregandian
general slew me, I can vividly recall what I thought to be my last day. There is
nothing blurred in my memory concerning that moment. The image of experiencing
my own death is as clear in my recollection as though it were occurring right
now.
Though I have no comprehension of what
occurred afterwards, my next memory was waking unclothed in the midst of a
rather large city. I was embarrassed and confused, but I had to find out where I
was. It turned out that I was in Liabo Plaza in Solhaven, but it was several
years since the Bregandian War ended.
Despite the lost time, I wanted to seek
out the only other remaining memory of my past life: my family. A stranger
helped me to return to Wehnimer’s Landing, but the joyous homecoming I
envisioned was not to be. My former wife, Syleanne, considered me an
abomination, turning me away.
I did get to ask her a few questions so
that I could remember my former existence, but she was very vague and
dismissing. I could learn very little, so it seemed I would not be able to pick
up the strands of my old life just yet. After outfitting myself, I thought it
best to make my living as an adventurer, as I had no ties to anyone or anything.
Fortunately, that was not to remain so for
long. Within a few months I met Lady Matti who told me of House Onoir and
invited me to a meeting. Raliver served as a mentor to me and inspired me to
become better.
I
suppose that leads me to the present. If I have learned anything from my strange
existence, it is that life is too short to be too serious. We need to simply
take one day at a time, and enjoy ourselves. As for my future, I intend to be
there for my newfound friends and loved ones as I fight the undead. It seems
likely, given my conviction for destroying the abominations, that part of my
former life involved such. In time, continuing the practice may cause old
memories to resurface. |
