Aloiene

Aloiene is an elvish hermit and scavenger, hailing from lands outside Rathnir.

Background
Aloiene comes from a continent far outside Rathnir’s map borders, the continent was war torn at the time, so he left to come to Rathnir for a better life. He also left his mother and father behind, due to the fact that they were trying to force him into their country’s army to fight for them. Aloiene was no good at fighting. It took a year on foot just to get to the continents of Rathnir, and there he discovered wild food was scarce. He would hunt day and night in the rain just looking for a handful of sweetberries.

A New Life in Rathnir
Aloiene continued wandering around the map of Rathnir for the next two years, holing up in caves and mining for meager bits of gold and iron to sell in nearby towns for a little money. He constantly went hungry and relied on raw flesh from the few animals he could find, dried seaweed, and bread made from stolen wheat. Sometimes he’d come across abandoned towns and would loot whatever food or resources he found in them. Then, he came across a ruined white-stone building that looked like a church. People had left messages around it. “This old house is ugly.” “No, I think it’s quite pretty.” “A piece of old history.” He found a nearby cavern and mined for the resources he needed to sell in order to buy a claim for the land and settle there. Then, he began reconstruction of the church into his new home.
