*Reluctantly, Alfin sets aside his mace and starts looking for parchment and pen knowing that if he doesnât fulfill his promise to Saerrina soon that she will be back to encourage him to do so. After a short search heâs able to locate the needed items and begins to write.*
Greetings, my name is Alfin, from my earliest memories, I wanted to be a paladin. I was raised an orphan and have few memories of my parents as they died when I was very young. Fostered and raised by a family just outside of Silvermoon. As soon as was acceptable I entered training. Since leaving home I have learned many things, the art of blacksmithing, the science of engineering, fishing, first aid and cooking. For a time I was a member of Relentless, a group that cherished the conquering of the next challenge beyond anything else. I travelled and adventured widely with them, initially as a healer, but later performing other roles. It was while the guild was adventuring alternately on Hyjal Summit and sometimes within the Black Temple, that I realized that something was missing or maybe even wrong.
*Pushes back, wondering what needs to be said and what can go unsaid, still undecided he considers changing the topic for a bit.*
Itâs strange how life affects us. I never looked for a girlfriend; one might even have thought I was unconcerned with that aspect of life. I was too focused on my training and adventuring. After completing training, I had occasion to visit a tailor shop in Silvermoon city, and there was the most enchanting creature I had ever seen; itâs embarrassing to admit but I was smitten from moment I first laid eyes on Saerrina. She was a young elf and I was a rather shy and not much older one. After that day I would often find an excuse to be near her, when she worked or trained. Eventually she noticed me and we began, after a fashion, to walk out together. Things like this have a way of getting worked out and although I thought her too young and was content to wait for years, Saerrina evidently wasnât.
*Considers what still needs to be said and decides that something more must be said about his former guild ties.*
Living is an endless lesson, when we stop learning, we stop living. I have always striven to be a true paladin of the light and along the way Iâve come to know myself. I believe that honor is an important thing, itâs not a high ideal but a way of life. Occasionally in life, we find, that we are engaged in activities with others who lack compatible values. Relentless is a group focused on accomplishment of the next challenge no matter what it takes. I have, on occasion, wondered some of my cohorts would sell their mother into slavery to best the next challenge. Although there were many great people, there were also those who were not so great, so with a heavy heart I left to seek a new path. What followed for me was a time of rediscovery, of loneliness and solitude during which I became separated from my friends, from my love.
Having reordered my life, I set out to reestablish the important relationships and most important among these was the one with Saerrina. I found her here at this very totem, she told me about the Ironsong Tribe and how she hoped to make it her new home. With her encouragement, I reviewed the information posted and found the Tribal Tenets, where I read the Code of Conduct, a set of beliefs that I could embrace and accept.
*Considers what has been put to paper and hopes itâs enough, not all these memories are pleasant.*
((Some things are very hard to do IC, so Iâm adding a short OOC section to make sure that some facts are clear. Alfin, is the current name of a character that was Alvin on Sisters of Elune. He is my main. I am not a great RPer, I do like the richness that comes with playing on an RP server. I like to raid but prefer enjoyment to progression, that's part of the reason I left Relentless. I am not looking for a âraidingâ guild but I do hope to do some raiding, other than that, my only goals are to enjoy playing WoW and learn to RP (I really do struggle with it). Thanks for entertaining my (our) request(s) to join you))
*Sets the pen down, re-reads his efforts, hopes that itâs adequate â¦*
