[b]Name[/b]: Redoran, son of Rhuarn, of House Paladin
[b]Age: [/b]33
[b]Kingdom: [/b]Minil'Thadag, the Kingdom of the Seven Lakes
[b]Gemstone: [/b]Meru'rithil, the Stone of Air

[b]Physical appearance: [/b]Redoran is of average height and build, though men from the plains would call him tall. His head is completely shaved but for a top-knot after the fashion of the knights of Minil'Thadag and he has a thin goatee. He wears several hoops of gold and silver rings in his earlobes. He is often seen wearing a green cloak over the dark mail. When in battle, he wears the helm of the battle lords with a pair of horns on top. Across his ribs runs a deep gash - a remnant of a forgotten duel.

[b]Background: [/b]Redoran was born in the town of Amren, nestled near the foothills of the Dragon ranges at the very edge of the kingdom. His father, Rhuarn, was a captain in the king's army and was respected for his battle sense. While the father was a hero to the boy, it was a father who rarely spent time with his son. When he lost his mother at a very early age, Redoran was sent to learn and train with the King's Guards. He had many doting 'uncles' as he grew up: gruff men who prided in raising the kid. They taught him how to hunt and fight, how to find food in barren lands, how to hide in plain sight. They also taught him how to read and write. They taught him the Epic of Gilahad and instilled in him a sense of valour and honour. When the boy came of age, it was only natural that he be inducted into the King's Guards.

For ten years, Redoran fought with his brethren, bringing the various tribes of the lakes under the King's dominion. He earned fame as a fighter and was called Elimir ('the Fearless') by his people.

War descended upon their fair kingdom while Redoran was in the far west. His old but proud father had stood by the king's side till the very end. The news of the death of the king was a body blow to the King's Guards caught miles from their master. Every knight then took a vow to ride to his death with teeth bared, to avenge the death of their king. Seven of them rode from Angruthil to the eastern borders, chopping and hacking their way through the hordes of darkness. Songs would have been written of their passage had anyone beheld the riders as they charged with fury.

But what could seven men do against the entire might of Evil? One by one, they all perished until Redoran found himself alone, horseless and near-death. Mustering his remaining strength, he made it to Sol Linata - the lake that once glittered like diamonds but now lies like a cesspool. There, the knight collapsed and was later rescued by refugees from the Barren Lands. Having heard of the last charge of the king's guard, Prince Edgar found him as soon as he was recuperated and entrusted to him Meru'rithil - the Stone of Air. With the stone comes hope, and with hope comes strength. Redoran is now riding to the Kingdom of the Seven Lakes, or what was once a kingdom. Midst the ruins, the lone knight rides, carrying with him dreams of green pasture and sparkling lakes.
