Solus Sol'Sineamos's backstory...
Solus doesn't remember a lot about his parents, but what memories of the little time (from an elven view) he passed with them will always be cherished. His parents were traveling when and after he was born so he never had the chance to see the elven forests his mother talked about so much. His father was a bowyer that traveled from town to town to sale his high quality bows. During our travels, he taught me the trade of a bowyer, how to drive carts, take care of the animals and how to shoot a bow. His mother trained him in the use of the traditional elven weapons and how to survive in the forest. They always wanted me to think they were simple merchants...but on the roads, during the nights, I could hear them speaking when they thought I was asleep. Speaking of something hunting them and that they couldn't stop.
One night near a small town, we were attacked by something (I never knew what...) but my parents manage to fend it off and we ran to the town. We sought shelter in a small monastery where my father, after having talked to the head master, told me I would have to stay here for my own safety. After a heart wrenching farewell, my mother gave me a silver pendant shaped in a leaf from a tree I have never seen, telling me to never lose it. Then they were gone.
In the years after that, Solus trained hard under the tutelage of the Head Master and on his own time he trained with a longsword, trying to find a way to integrate his the traditional elven weapon in his martial arts, with no success so far....
One day he had the chance to meet Allister, a young half-elf working for a local jeweler (his uncle), making a delivery to the Head Master. Having been raised on the road with his parents, traveling and meeting all sorts of people, Solus never considered Allister less for being an half-elf. Something he would learn later, other elves commonly did. In the following weeks and months, Allister came back often to find some solitude and calm in the gardens, away from the town, and in those moments if Solus was around they would speak for hours. Allister would tell him of his dreams of adventure and each time, when Solus went to bed, he would dream of being on the roads again..... And one day he decided that when Allister would be ready to go, he would not be alone...
