Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born into the Prexijandilin Clan of Uruger, Arjhan immediately knew what it was like to suffer. His clan was enslaved by the red dragon Ashardalon, also known as Brightflame, and had lived under his rule for generations. He was raised in the village of Itraco located just north of the Burnt Mountains, in the Scorched Badlands. Growing up as a servant of a malevolent dragon hardened Arjhan's resolve, and helped him understand the capacity for evil in the world. Once Arjhan grew old enough, he attempted an escape from the village and ventured south through the mountains and into Tusnya, taking members of his clan along with him. It was a difficult journey through the inhospitable mountainous terrain, filled with ash and unnatural lava flows. Ashardalon tracked the clan from the sky, slaughtering many of the escaping dragonborn. However, once Arjhan found the city of Aurelia, he knew he was safe. Guards from the city rained arrows down upon the dragon as he approached, turning him away. The remaining dragonborn were initially met with contempt, but soon enough they were welcomed into the city after telling their tale. Arjhan witnessed the generosity of the League of Southern Marches firsthand, and vowed to help them in anyway he could. Taking up arms, he joined the Aurelian Guard to provide the same protection afforded to him many years earlier. After displaying an efficiency in battle unlike many of his peers, he was promptly promoted through the ranks and eventually served in the elite regiment of the Golden Spears.

By 1040 AR, Arjhan found himself commanding the Golden Spears, but growing weary of the garrison lifestyle. Aurelia had plenty of excitement, with tribes of gnolls, orcs, and other monstrous creatures constantly trying to invade the region. However, Arjhan was looking for more meaning, and he was slowly becoming disenfranchised with the political landscape of the guilds. Therefore he retired from his post as a guard, and ventured to the capital of Riven. It was there that he found solace in the Order of the Blade. Because of its lack of affiliation with the league, Arjhan finally found the structure most culturally similar to that of the dragonborn. It was regimented, strict, and favored those with martial skill. Arjhan immediately blossomed into the warrior he knew he could be, while still providing leadership and guidance like has done time and time again.
Now, in 1062 AR, the time for combat and adventuring is nearing its end for the dragonborn. Instead of leading the charge with his greatsword, Arjhan finds his words and advice to be much more impactful, and can help guide the order of knights to become the impactful peacekeepers they set out to be. Arjhan always remembers the sacrifice his clan made to help him escape Ashardalon's grasp, and makes sure his every action and word wields the force and power of his lost people.
