Valornor the Ranger

Valornor was born and raised in a isolated forest steading. Outside the settlement of Town. When he was old enough to understand, he was told that his father, Valornor, for whom he had been named for. Had been the Captain of the was of the King Rangers. As his trusty companion and friend. Who in battle, had saved the life of his liege lord more then once. His father fought in a battle against the Goblins. Afterward the victory. He came up missing. His body was never found. Some thought that he had been taken prisoner by the retreating gobs. No note for ransom ever came. The King was heard to say, more then one. That he would gladly pay almost any price for his friend's safe return. But no note for ransom came. Nor was any information about his possible whereabouts ever found.

In young Valornor's upbringing, teachers of one sort or another always seem to be showing up on there door step. Staying just long enough to impart whatever wisdom or knowledge they had to share, before moving on. So the growing boy was challeged both mentally, but also physically.

For there were plenty of chores and like needing to be done around their forest steading home. Which was surrounded by a small orchard of a half dozen each of apple and pear trees. That needed to be harvested early each autumn, They always had a large garden plot and herb garden each year. That needed planting, watering and weeding. Then finally harvesting and preserving. They also had a small herd of goats and gaggle of chickens that needed tending to. They got milk, most of which they used to make cheese, along with skins and meat from the former. An eggs and meat from the latter.

Also, from a young age Valornor learned the ways of the forest land. So their food supply was supplemented with snared rabbits and sling stone fallen ducks, geese, forest grouse and squirrels. An when he got old enough to use a bow, venison. He also learned how to harvest the edible and medicinal wild plants and fungus of his woodland home. Each quarter year, they would take there excess stocks of food, along with what tanned animal hides and furs from his trapline, to Town to selling or trade them for the few items that they needed. That their forest home couldn't provide.

An by the time he came of age, no finer woodsman and archer could be found in the area around Town. Having won the Mid-Summer Archery contest for the last two year.

Now fully grown, he stands 5'11" and is sinewy and wiry of build. With green eyes, whom looks at the world with a determined look in his eyes. His w tawny colored haired shoulder length hair is only retained by a leather headband around his forehead. He is dressed in finely tanned deerskin clothing and light boots(Moccasins). Over which he wears studded leather armor. It is dark brown with all the studs stained various shades of green. Over it all he wears forest green woolen hooded cloak. On his shoulders is a backpack, within or attached to it is everything he needs. There is also slung there is his Longbow and a quiver of arrows over his shoulder. Belted at his waist is a plain but serviceable long sword in it's scabbard. Along with a hatchet and large sheathed hunting knife a. Using the first two and sometimes the third, when he fights in hand to hand combat. That is, if any foe can survives the on slot of his longbow driven arrows and get close enough to do so!

As for his personality, Valornor is the quiet observant type. Usually only speaking if he has something worth saying. Not just to fill the silence. Though once in awhile, when he is with those he likes and in a festive situation. He'll let his hair down a bit, so to speak..

For the last year or so, he has been feeling the wanderlust growing within. Now with his mother's death. It is time for him to go see a bit of the greater world. An perhaps see if he could learn anything about his missing father. That could help find out what happen to him.
