The divide of the Elements- Grimesh Uul

The birth and earlier life of Grim

Born to a Orc Chieftain and a priestess of Talos, the early life of Grim was that of an orc in exile. For the most part raised by his mother in the monastery she ran Grim learned how to channel divine power and preform small spells. All in all the childhood of Grim was happy. He even made a friend at the monastery, his name is Raener. Raener was another half orc, but unlike Grim he held more resemblance to his human side. Within a few years both Grim and Raener began seeing each other romantically. A happy relationship, that was until Raener began to change. At first his differences were to be a little more reclusive with some things, not telling Grim something shortly devolved into lies. Raener began to come back late some nights. He often said he was just tending the fields, and for a long time Grim believed him. Then everything changed one night. Grim had woken up to a scream and clashing of steel on steel, thunder clapping in the distance, and the crackle of fire where it shouldn't be. Grim quickly made his way downstairs to witness his mother being cut down by his lover as the alter and prayer chamber burning around them. Upon seeing Grim Raener fled through a window, disappearing into the night. The rest of that night was a fight against a raid. A rival of his father's clan had learned through Raener about Grim, his origins, and anything to do with Grim. In the end of the battle few priests of Talos still stood and what remained of the raiders had fled back home before Grim's father arrived, and he did that very morning. Grim's father devastated his lover was gone, Grim enraged by the betrail of his own lover, and the entirety of the Uul clan now at war with another clan Grim's father took back his son back into the stronghold and began to teach Grim how to use a sword. it did not take long for Grim to learn how to use a great sword. Nor did it take long for him to take up heavy armor. After a year and a half Grim was deemed ready to fight. And just in time. The rival clan needed just one more push to be topped over. All the warriors of the Uul clan had come to this fight. The fight was fierce but the clan had fallen. The rival chief beheaded, his warriors killed, and those remaining are taken into the Uul clan. That was until Grim's father had run into Raener. Raener was ready to fight. in front of Grim his father was killed. The few fighters of the Uul clan that had still been around were quickly taken down. Furious Grim swung and swung. and just before Grim could finish the job Raener had tossed dirt into Grim's eyes and got away. 

For ten Years Grim roamed around the continent looking for Raener. Ten years he served as a pilgrim of Talos. He honed his divine and sword skills as the years went on. And in a prayer to Talos he had finally been told to go to a new continent. Far to the north west a continent called Zaxdon. After passing a Leviathan, almost getting booted off the ship by the captain, and traveling north along a river then some travel by foot he found himself in a place called The Brass Dragoon. A relatively secluded tavern not far from the city of Ironbreak. He met with a group and went south. there they liberated a keep. They now hold the dominion of that keep. After doing so he went back to the tavern. He made many friends and even made a new lover. someone much more worth his time. The rest of the tale will be recounted in Grim's perspective.
