Grecia Gaiannas - background history

Grecia is a slender man about 5 ft 8 in height and perhaps weighing 150 pounds soaking wet ,with dark-brown hair cut moderatly short. His Bright blue eyes twinkle at every new discovery. His pockets overflow with dried plants, many having readily known Medicinal value, and some rather unusual ones too. His right wrist have an unusual mark - it almost looks as if a number of Bright Red Roses are entwined about it with their buds in various stages of being open. When asked about the rose birthmark he will readily relate that this is a birthmark, supposedly a gift of appreciation to one of his ancestors in rememberence of some deed to an organization called .. Something of the rose. However, much time has passed, the group vanished into the pages of history, and his family - mother a retiring "Witchwoman" who could heal using herbs, and father a skilled hunter/provider have also. While he was growing up, his parents taught him what they could of herbology and a love of nature as well as some skill hunting. Unfortunately, for Grecia and his family, during his 16 year,while Grecia was out vending some of his mothers crop of herbs, strangers came and killed his parents, After looting all of apparent value, they left. When Grecia returned home. He buried his p arents, cleaned up the mess as best he could, gathered everything of value *his mothers herb books were left as being worthless* and struck off to find a new place to live and learn what he could of the attackers so he might, perhaps, someday find them and put them to rest too. Meanwhile, the question of his birthmark and what the story behind it is also one for him to discover... 

a New Carpet

It were an early morning in the month of Eleint.Dark clouds were covering the Realms, and a giant Stormsummoned by the Stormlord Talos sent down its Lightningtorturing the lands of the Great Realms. It was that very same morning when Malar appeared to me, telling me what was going on. "Members of the Church of Nightmares have insulted the Lord of Storms! he said." Make them pay! And bring me proof!" He then disapeared in a pile of crawling maggots finding their way out of the room. I quickly assembled a team of strong Talosians, And we left our sacred Church to securely demolish every nightmare and leave them dead. But, of course, all of them fled into a hidden room in their church. So we went after them. After slaying the guards of their halls, which proved to be fairly easy, we entered their almost abandonned Church and stole some equipment from their personal shops. Somewhere deep within the disgusting church which seemed to be totally abandoned by any god, we heard them yell at us. We were, according to them, losers and we were weak and so on. After Kelin, Yota and I got up again from rolling over the floor laughing at them, e went to explore their hall since we were sure those wimpy nightmares wouldnt dare to come out of their hidden room. As i gave my fellow Destructors a grand tour through the abandonned clanhall, we found hidden passage leading to some sort of maze. Within a few moments we left the maze on the other side. We entered a room with in it a small chest. As i tried to pick the lock I suddenly realised the key of the clandoors might just fit in. And yes, I unlocked the chest and opened it. As we were all very curious what this big treasure were, we were kind of disappointed when all we found was a dirty flag. The CoN logo was drawn on both sides of the silk flag. But we needed to bring proof, so this would do, we thought. Back at the Shrine of Talos again I asked for an audience with Lord Malar again. As the maggots crawled back in the room and slowly shaped back into the shape of our Lord, I showed him the flag, on which he said: "Good, Good, We needed a new Carpet at our shrine anyway. Silk is good to wipe your feet clean on," as he grinned and continued: "Thats the only thing members of CoN are good for anyways." Malar spread the flag over the floor and wiped his feet on it. Then he disappeared again in the same way he came. And now we still have The CoN clan Flag lying like trash on the floor, as a new carpet. Reminding us of the damned wimpy members of the Church of Nightmares.
