((A few quick notes, I am playing this character as if the events of Cataclysm (when Tauren Paladins were introduced) are the most recent current event’s I will be playing through all the expansions in an order conducive of this and telling the story as progressed from there. If you have any questions ask away. This first little bit is just to give an idea of the history of Yeapu before his story (me controlling him) started.))

...
Yeapu was born to the Greenhorn tribe, though he no longer holds claim to that name.  Tension with his family had run high the last few years leading to his eighteenth Summer. His family steeped deeply in old traditions was filled with Druids and Shamans. His father and mother, their parents, as far back when their people first joined the Horde and farther back still had always been guardians of the spirits of Earthmother.  Though his family often touted the virtue of balance they only ever thought of and taught the teachings of Mu’Sha. When Yeapu was in his fifteenth Summer he learned of the teachings of An’She and, much to the ire of his family, abandoned his lessons as a druid to pursue the tutelage of the Sunwalkers.
        Though he still practiced the herbalism and alchemy his family was known for he spent the next three years learning to be a Sunwalker and wield the light of the Sun. It was when his teacher gave him a set of plate armor for his eighteenth summer celebration that Yeapu’s family had finally had enough. They gave him a simple, but harsh, ultimatum. Either follow the teachings of their ancestors and abandoned the new ways that were ‘poisoning’ their people, or leave be stripped of clan name and never see them again. It was with a heavy heart that Yeapu made his choice and left in the night, for he could not face his family’s disappointment. He knew, deep down, that for the Tauren people in these turbulent times true balance was needed and that the path of Mu’Sha was where his destiny lies. Thus, the morning of his Eighteenth summer, not even considered an adult by his people, yeapu left his home, to the best of his knowledge never to return.
