The Betrayed GrimRedRose
"He was cast out in exile by those he simply wished to save and protect. Only the Gods know of the grief and sadness the man carries." -The Old Man

Beginnings
GrimRedRose was born a citizen of religious kingdom in a long lost land far beyond the borders of Rathnir. He was the son of of a knight and was trained by the church to defend the kingdom from bandits and those who would spread sacrilege. He would be knighted at a young age and would rise through the ranks until he was appointed as one of the few paladins commanded by the King directly. The was the sixth Knight of the Kings court, The Rose Knight.

Betrayal
Its was in his position of power that Grim was made aware of the kingdoms true face. The King was a simple puppet controlled by the prophets of gods created in fiction to control the population. The religion he grew up training to uphold and protect was a lie used to oppress.

He would denounce the King and the Prophets and declare them traitors to the kingdom and its people, shedding light upon the lie used to control them. He would however fail to overthrow the King and the Prophets and would be exiled by his own people. Marked as a heretic by the Prophets and a traitor by the King, the people of the kingdom demanded he leave his own home.

Purpose
Upon being exiled from his home he would wander the land aimlessly. He had nothing guiding him except his pure instinct to survive and the slight hope that he could once again find a purpose. He would soon find that purpose when he was found by an old man.

The old man would offer a place to stay for some work he needed done and Grim accepted, doing chores for the old man which he could not do in his old age. The old man would tell Grim tales of his birthplace, a nation called the Huitca Federation in a land called Rathnir. He told tales of gods and the delicate balance that kept the world in order, the religion that he practiced, the religion that Grim would soon come to practice as well living under the old man's roof.

Pilgrimage
The old man would eventually decide it was time for him to journey forth again to a new land and that it was time for Grim to make his way to Rathnir in search of a greater purpose. Grim would gift the old man a stone sword engraved in the text of a religious passage the old man had first taught Grim and the old man would give Grim back an iron sword from his own days as a knight.

The two would exchange goodbyes before Grim set off on a journey towards a land he had only heard about with new found hope and the promise of a greater mission to serve something bigger than him once again.
