Farondor

Early Life
 Farondor was born and raised in a copper elf village within the Silvermist Forest. Not much is known of his early life, and he generally becomes suspicious and gruff when asked about it.

Adventure
Because his adventuring experience is limited, Farondor takes pride in his self-sufficiency. He is an able tracker who can draw upon Nature magic when necessary. In combat, Faron prefers using two swords.

Shortly after arriving in Stone Lake with his companions, the town was attacked by goblins. Faron fought bravely but was ultimately overpowered by their vicious onslaught. He had been fighting side by side with a group of humans who did not notice his fallen body in the brush. This has led to an even greater distrust toward their kind.

While in town, Faron is more likely to be found patrolling the outskirts than socializing at the inn. He’s never mentioned a permanent residence and travels from place to place, never staying in any one town too long. His companions include his beautiful, patient, kind and sweet wife Loralei who is a significantly better writer than he is; and Gunther, his loyal gundre friend and guard.

Personality
Although Farondor is aloof and suspicious towards outsiders, he will fiercely and quickly rush to the aid of friends and allies. He does what he feels is right - regardless of the consequences. His boldness has landed him in trouble on more than one occasion.

A devout follower of Tallis, Faron wears a copper maple leaf around his neck designating his religious views. He considers it his responsibility to protect the natural order of life and thus finds necromancy particularly vile. Goblins too spark his ire.

He has a dislike and distrust for humans, unless they follow Tallis or have somehow managed to prove themselves to him. Otherwise, he is civil to all manner of elves and neutral to the other races he encounters.

Loralei
As Farondor's wife, he is quite protective of her....which entails never straying far from her side. As naive as she is powerful, more often than not Faron finds himself saving Lora from herself.

Even so, Lora is one of the only people with whom stern Faron will let down his guard. More than one person has done a double take watching the affectionate couple interact.

His dedication to her is total and complete.

Gunther
Farondor's closest friend, he is a gundre warrior of incredible strength. Though not the fleetest of foot, when he arrives to a battle he doesn't give an inch of ground to the enemy. They work well together in combat, as they have known each other a long time and designed tactics that utilize their individial strengths.

Tycho
One of the few humans in which Farondor keeps company. They met during a goblin raid in Stone Lake and quickly grew close due to the similarities in faith. They have been seen working together many times.
