Toren Orne'tare

Toren Orne'tare is a Keita entrepreneur, blacksmith and noble knight. He is a citizen of the continental Empire of Astyllea and resides in Jirn, where he holds the title "Lyorú of Aevindaron" and therefore is responsible for the construction and management of the Aevindaron city-district within the megacity of Jirn.

Early Life
Toren was born into a honorable, but poor Caedan family residing in the now abandoned city of Hiroka-Lani. Always being held to high standards, but without the money to back them up, Toren learned the path of humility very early on and had to work hard for all that he sought to possess, just as his father did. While not having many material goods, his father (Caeryn) held the secret to an ancient Caedan alloy recipe and his mother (Nikolyy) was a Seer, an important cultural and religious figure in the Caedan community.

His biological parents were very caring and, with the little money they had, managed to provide a worthy education and happy childhood to Toren. However, at the age of 15, he had to leave his town to travel around Anoshphey in search of job opportunities to fund his future and his family's failing business. After travelling through the County of Useri without luck of finding a job, Toren heard about a city so big and prosperous that a 1000 men could be employed and still would need more hands to work. That city was the megacity of Jirn to the south of Berae, and once Toren had exhausted his options in Useri, he didn't hesitate to go there.

Arrival at Jirn
Not long after arriving at Jirn, Toren managed to get a job in the Steel Mill owned by the Count of Stomeste and Sahrad of Jirn, Lee Maximos-Caicuria. Toren would work day and night until he couldn't work no more so he could earn his family a living wage. At the age of 18, however, he suffered a work accident which would scar him for the rest of his life. Due to his inability to work in the manual labor intensive jobs required in the Steel Mill after the accident, Toren started doing management jobs around the megacity.

When he was 19, he received a letter from the Knights of Anoshphey reading that his parents were attacked and killed by bandits while traveling through southern Yimmu-Audal to sell goods. These news made him suffer greatly, and changed his plans for the future. He'd start working on his father's secret recipe while also joining the Knights of Anoshphey to get a chance to avenge his parent's death.

Path into Nobility
On his 20 years old birthday, the Sahrad Lee decided to grant Aeeindaron to Toren as a gift for his work in the Steel Mill and in Jirn. Soon the name changed from Aeeindaron to Aevindaron in order to symbolize the new management of the district. At that time, Aevindaron was mostly a forest with a cabin and a simple wooden house. Toren had to tore it all down and level the area so he could lay the foundations of the city. Later, he would hire the builder Beagle Rochelle (BeagleBasset24) from the city of Kordania (from the Island of Tàlor) to help constructing the Forge of Aevindaron.

Creation of the Orne'tare Family
After earning the nobility status of Lyorú, Toren decided to create his own noble family based on the lessons he learned with his parents as well as from Lee in the Steel Mill, and so the name Orne'tare (Iron Will in Caedan language) was chosen. Together with his close friend Hirae (Weebguy2206), they forged the Orne'tare family and cemented their brotherhood in the world of Rathnir, a family whose tales have yet to unfold.

Adoption into the Caicuria Dynasty
The Orne'tare family never was influential nor powerful, but the hard work that both brothers were demonstrating in their respective holdings, as well as their desire to help the surrounding communities and integrate themselves with the other nobles of the region, brought attention from Erevan Silverpepper. After years in a stable marriage, he and his wife Raeden Seeker were looking for an adoption. After hearing of the tales of Toren and Hirae and the wholesome brotherhood they had formed, they decided to invite both of them to join and expand the Caicuria dynasty, which the brothers happily accepted. This event opened the horizon for the Orne'tare family and gave them more objectives to achieve, as it helped legitimize them as nobles in Yimmu-Audal while also introducing them to a prestigious community.

Prosperity and Fatherhood
During the following years, Toren focused on many different businesses. He worked as a miner, an experience seller, a blacksmith, a farmer, a reseller, and whatever else he found to be profitable at the time. This versatility led him to meet other important businessmen in Rathnir, like the young Netherite King, ReadySetGo123; the largest and most famous store owner of the continent, 55Tremine, with his store, Market55; and the most skilful Book Enchanter, Jari0n. These experiences and the lessons learned with these characters influenced the mindset that Toren would follow in his young adulthood.

Death of Erevan
Soon after turning 30 years old, Toren would go through the loss of his adoptive father, Erevan Silverpepper, to an unpredictable accident. Erevan fell from the rooftops of the megacity while contemplating the beauty of the sunset and the whole trajectory that he had taken in his life. It is believed, however, that the accident was intentional, for Erevan had expressed feelings of sadness and despair with the loss of his home, the castle Hjutsig, in the County of Coltmaere, that had been forcefully taken by the Bardonians.

Growth of the Iron-willed
With the loss of his second father figure in such a small period of time, Toren decided that he would expand the Orne'tare family, and promptly started looking for dilligent and enthusiastic teenagers, like he once was, to adopt as a child of his own. His search didn't take long, as he would soon meet the blissful Doctor Szar'aire and the timid Rhodian refugee Ilyy.

Biological Family
Not much is known about Toren's biological family besides that his father Caeryn was a human hardworking blacksmith and his mother Nikolyy was a Keita Seer.

Orne'tare Family
The Orne'tare family was recently created and therefore only two members exist: Hirae Orne'tare and Toren himself.

Caicuria Dynasty
Toren and Hirae were both adopted into the Caicuria dynasty as sons of Erevan Maximos-Caicuria Silverpepper and Raeden Seeker. Following Erevan's line, Lee is their grandfather while Ghastly "The Uniter" Audalad together with Uthr Audalath (Longbow) and Lócéós Jóstén Maximós are their great-grandparents. As aunts and uncles, they have Rat M. Jones Maximos-Caicuria Naryshkin Audalad, Abdulla Maximos-Caicuria Prisma, Fireworker Maximos-Caicuria Prisma, Leigh Maximos-Caicuria and Nylah Maximos-Caicuria (Wyn).

Aevindaron Forge
The Aevindaron Forge is still under construction, but with the functional parts already in place, Toren has been forging and selling gear to fund the construction of the entire Aevindaron city-district.

Mining Corporation
The Mining Corporation is still under construction. No more information can be disclosed.

Miasma
A chronic disease reminiscent of his accident working in the Steel Mill, the Miasma is a burn that never regenerates and causes constant pain. If not routinely treated, the burn can spread until most of the person's body has been damaged and inevitably cause their death. It's said that the Miasma is created by the fumes of the Steel Mill as it combines many metals and chemicals to achieve it's high production rate. It would then enter it's host through the direct contact of the fumes to their blood, causing the victim to be infected for life.

Treatment for this condition is not well developed due to it's recent discovery, but it has been found that applying alcohol to the infected area helps keeping it from spreading.

Spionage on Squatters (Kordania)
One of Toren's and Hirae's first missions as Knights of Anoshphey in which the objective was to get inside the city of Kordania and find as many entrances into their walls as possible.

Arriving there, the brothers disguised themselves as tourists and met the founders of the city (Trev48809 and Megavolt280), who welcomed them and gave them a gift, although did not allow entrance into the city. After rowing on the boat until out of sight, they waited for the townspeople to be asleep and infiltrated the wall. They searched for entrances and took pictures of the many buildings and general architecture of the city, and reported the mission to the Knights.

Later they learned that the town was being assimilated into Yimmu-Audal, and swiftly went there to celebrate peace and share drinks with the Kordanians. Some time later, BeagleBasset24, the third founder of the city and a very capable builder, would be hired by Toren to construct the Aevindaron Forge. These events sparked a friendship between their city and the Orne'tares, as well as a mutual economic interest.

Pirate Ruins
While travelling across the Tortuga territory, Toren found ruins of an almost untouched city. The city was so preserved that it seemed like the residents had just decided to leave all of their belongings there, exactly as they were, and simply disappear. On a second visit, he brought his brother and his friends from Kordania and they hanged out in the abandoned city's tavern, drinking and sharing stories while enjoying the fancy architecture of the place. They avoided messing with the place as much as possible, as to preserve the beautiful city, but Toren specifically took notes of the design they used in their carpet.

Strange Lab Ruins
During an escort mission to bring a new librarian to Jirn, they found themselves inside the ruins of what appeared to be an abandoned laboratory. From the looks of it, one could infer that some kind of beast or monster was being kept prisoner and experimented on, but eventually broke out and brought destruction to the place. From above, it's impossible to tell that there was something there, aside from the few stone bricks lying around, as if they were thrown by a supernatural force. While not much was discovered in that place, the idea that such a monster could be roaming around the Duchy of Anoshphey was a scary realization that the high walls of the cities aren't just to keep bandits away.
