Tannin

Tan'valanin Sal'ladiel (a.k.a. Tannin)

Tannin was born in the elven city of Elfholme, where he grew up among the tall trees and shimmering lakes. He was always a curious and adventurous elf, and he spent much of his youth exploring the wilderness and learning about the plants and animals that thrived in the forests around him.   When Tannin was a young adult, he fell in love with a beautiful noble elf lady named Lirien. Despite their different social standings, they began a passionate affair that lasted for several years. However, when their relationship was discovered by Lirien's family, Tannin was exiled from Elfholme and banished from the city forever.   Heartbroken and alone, Tannin wandered the world for many years, using his knowledge of plants and herbs to survive in the wilderness. He eventually found his way to Mistwall, where he opened the Broken Blade tavern and began brewing his own beer.   At first, the tavern struggled to attract patrons, but over time, Tannin's brews became popular among the locals and visitors alike. His skills as a brewer were unparalleled, and he quickly gained a reputation for creating some of the finest ales in the land.   Despite his success, however, Tannin never forgot his past. He continued to mourn the loss of Lirien and his homeland, and he often found himself lost in memories of his youth. He kept a small, ornate wooden box hidden in his private quarters, which contained a lock of Lirien's hair and a handwritten note from her that he treasured more than anything.   Despite his troubled past, Tannin was a kind and generous soul who was respected and loved by many in Mistwall. He used the tavern as a gathering place for travelers and locals alike, and his ales and food were renowned throughout the land. Though he never forgot the pain of his exile, Tannin found solace in the companionship and community of his tavern.
