Torinn-Delmierev

'"One who has not looked forward with the eyes of those in the past will yet find greater wisdom beyond the limits of their present." - Torinn Delmierev' Torinn Delmierev is a Draaken colonist from Nova Draakhagen within Eldham and the eldest living male descendant of House Delmierev. He set off into a self inflicted exile to bring glory to the aging and near forgotten Draaken people alongside his own house. Representing more than just himself and even his family, Torinn migrated to Anglunia where he became a prominent Onsyr and would marry the head of the House Nuwan family, Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan.

Adolescence
Torinn, born Torinn-Delmierev, was the latest generation and single child of House Delmierev's leading parenthood under the family head. Being born the only male of the latest generation, Torinn was simultaneously looked down upon and praised - a dualistic nature many within the Draaken Dygrathos faith exhibited. To his appraisal, Torinn was seen as the House's future leading male figure in both its internal growth and external affairs. To his downlook, the House began to fret over the lack of Draaken females House Delmierev carried that could further the spawn of pure-blooded Draaken youth. From a very young age Torinn saw just how shaky his House was becoming. It would not be until his years before his coming of age, years other races would refer to as teenage, where he would discover how vastly the issue expanded beyond just his family.

Surfacing The Past
In his years of development and growth, years of which to a degree Torinn insists are still ongoing, Torinn came across old scripture and lore of the Draaken people. In time he became aware of the High Draaken Kingdom being assimilated into the Simulami long before his birth. This was the leading cause for his entire House's immigration to Nova Draakhagen. From youth Torinn was taught how ancient the Draaken people spanned Eldham and Rathnir's lands. He was taught how many current religions came from perverted interpretations of their own, how many artifacts were built from Draaken ones. His father sought to build spite and hatred in him towards the most aggregious of these malfactors, Humans, but Torinn found such teachings insipid and baseless the more he learned. Reading more and more history, Torinn began to draw lessons from teachings of the past and felt in himself an obligation to his people to restore them to a greater glory than the squabble in which they currently found themselves in. He could not hope to overthrow a massive nation, but he could strive to achieve spreading his and his people's name.

Self-Exile
In the fall of 140 SMP, Torinn-Delmierev cast himself into a self-made exile, estranging himself from his family after undertaking an oath that he would see his House and the Draaken people not forgotten. Leaving under the cloak of night, Torinn was intercepted by his own father while heading to the docks of his House's estate. Having confided in his son just a year earlier of his ill body, Torinn's father shifted the mantle of the House to his son. Three family heirlooms and artifacts were given. A Cutlass and Battle-Harness forged from ancient Dragonscale along with the family's Encrusted Emerald given to the Spouse of the Head male. Embracing his father tightly, Torinn reiterated his promise to his father on how he would see that their family name and people would live on. The last memory Torinn would have of his father would be after he boarded his boat and his father called out, "House Delmierev rests with you."

Anglunia
Arriving in Anglunia, Torinn immediately set off to find the nearest forest where he would construct a small homestead in traditional Draaken fashion.
