Tedryn sha felt out of place. What a strange tounge these beings spoke. It suggested nobility and that was one area he lacked in. His past was a twisted and sad affair. Byss had been a beautiful world, serene, and one big adventure. The death of his parents had been sudden and painful. Alone at the tender age of 12, Tedryn began his quest for acceptance into society.

As a small child he daydreamed of being a great knight who would save the princess and be rewarded with riches. Reality however was far from the fairytale he envisioned. He began by sneaking into the tournaments to watch the lords and ladies. He mimicked their talk and trained himself body and soul to be one of the elite.

As he grew older he took odd jobs at the tournaments. He polished boots and repaired armor for the great lords, absorbing everything from mannerisms to training. On his own he practiced and became quite adept at combat. He lacked one thing;credentials. Without them he would never be apart of this brotherhood.

Then his fate changed. He was 17 and in a ton of trouble. One of the local competitors had blamed him for his defeat in the tournament. It was not Tedryn's fault the man was incompetent and lacked discipline in jousting. He had repaired the armor flawlessly. The knight beat and humiliated Tedryn in front of all to see. Just as he was about to deal the fateful blow, a tall regal man intervened.

Being near death, Tedryn heard little but realized this man had saved his pitiful existence. Standing groggily he thanked the powerful lord.

"Dear sir to whom do i owe my life to?"

The man identified himself as Sir Wallace Mcgreggor and kindly offered him a place to train and enlighten himself among the brotherhood of the Oaken Dawn. Obvisously the man had been observing him for some time and now he offered him legitimacy and a future.

Now 6 years later, Tedryn sat in the dwelling of his saviour, confident in his ability and now a man.

Wallace Mcgreggor regarded him curiously as he approached Tedryn.

Good evening, Sire," he said "I am Wallace McGreggor. Thou seem to have travelled a long way to visit a plain tavern."

"I am Tedryn sha my lord. You liberated me from serfdom 6 years ago at a tournament on Nar shadda. I owe you my allegiance and I have come to learn about the Oaken Dawn."

Tedryn waited nervously as the Sir Wallace eyed him thoughtfully.
