Legends of Belariath

Mozenwrathe

Character: Elur Aniel

There is a legend about a Chirot who was born with the soul of a Torian. This legend is based around the snippets of history surrounding the weapons master Elur Anieral. None ever tried to slay him outright... at least not after he proved himself in combat against a small cadre of seasoned veterans from one of the human-dwarven wars. As a child, could Elur never figure out what was wrong with him. He knew that he was in the body of a Chirot, but always felt as if he should be in a different skin. When it came time for his First Judgment, the priestess gasped as she saw inside the young lad's soul: he was to have become Torian. Hearing this, his parents desperately tried to shield him from the harsh words and cruel torments the rest of the village attempted to inflict upon him. However, instead of being broken, the young lad grew far firmer background, finding solace in the teachings of the Chirot Goddess Herself. The Chirot grew up from being a boy in a world he knew he was never meant to be a part of, to a fully-trained soldier - far better than any most Chirot had seem in ages. Yet did he never find his fortune as a mercenary, instead remaining behind to defend his village from those who would gladly hunt down and slay any non-humans they could find...
