Saurohir Silverheart

The Bastard Son
Saurohir is the bastard son of Lord Saulo Silverheart, the Highlord of the Silverheim, a city-state located in the Silver Mountain region (southwest mountains of Tirisfal Glades). His mother was a wench at a local tavern who caught the eye of the illustrious Highlord. After his mother died from giving birth, Lord Silverheart felt pity for the infant and called his bannermen to deliver the child to him. He named him Saurohir and allowed him to raised mostly by the House's staff.

At the age of six, Saurohir became a nuisance to Lord Silverheart's two children and wife as he served as a common reminder of the Lord's weakest moment. Saurohir was sent away to apprentice with a local black smith from sunrise to sunset. There Saurohir fell in love with swords, shields, and hammers; often dreaming of one day serving in the Silver Mountain's prestigious Iron Guard.

By the age of 14, Saurohir met a local nobleman's daughter. They would meet in secret as they fell in love, and eventually bedded her in a barn - only to be discovered by the ground's keeper.

Her father was enraged! His only daughter bedded by a bastard! The noblemen plead to Lord Silverheart to punish Saurohir and the pressure from his own wife did not help. It was Lady Silverheart's perfect opportunity to rid of the pest once and for all.

With much hesitation, Saurohir was sent away from the Silver Mountains to serve out his aboard the mining trade ships - or so he told the court.

In truth, the boy reminded him much about himself. Instead of sending him to such a harsh environment he was able to secure Saurohir entry into the Church of Light located in the City of Stratholme.
