Personal history
Gawain Kronsieg was born to Lother Kronsieg A King of Craburgh and a female elf, who has since faded from Gawains memory. Gawain was raised alongside Percival and his half-brother Mordred, with Mordred being the one who showed the way of the ranger to Gawain. However after many years living as a noble eventually the call to adventure took hold of a young Gawain. With the help of his father, Percy, Mordred, and Gawains beloved Bedievere they formed the Dragoons. The Dragoons was one happy family, each member forsake their last name and replaced it with Dragoon. The first posting the Dragoons took was an old fortress that served as a hotbed of conflict between Dorwin and the Redlands. There Gawains mother passed away due to a mysterious illness. Gawain blamed his father for not preventing his mothers death. He took the Dragoons to Yampfield to work as a mercenary company there. After Years of combat is when, one of his darkest days occurred. While out on a sortie against an Orc raiding party a truly powerful Half-Orc appeared. During the battle the Half-Orc killed many of Gawains closet friends, and even Gawains love, Bedievere. Gawain took the survivors and retreated, vowing vengeance on the filth that had killed so many friends. After a year of heavy drinking and seething with uncontrollable rage Gawain left Yampfield to travel to the small town of Dayyhill. Here he hoped to find new work for the Dragoons, what he didn't know was that Dayhill would be the birthplace of a new kind of group. Dayhill is where Gawain would eventually help create the group known as the Sentinels of the Blazing Sun. The group at the time consisted of: Gawain Kronsieg, Lucius Macedonicus, Scarloc Wydrioth, and one Jiro Kamji. The group would go through many epic adventures, from fighting an Orc shaman, to killing foul dragon hybrids. During the adventures the group meet one Kurbaag the mighty, who would be a major meeting point for the group. For sparing the group Kurbaag wanted the Sentinels to help watch over his son. The son being the same half-orc who killed Gawains group. It was then when Gawain learned that his memory had been tampered with extensively. Gawain through many trials learned that Bedievere did not die, and through a vision that his half-brother was possible possessed by an evil force. Not all of the adventures was doom and gloom however, Gawain once again,with the help of his new companions learned compassion. In time Gawain even fell in love again, this time with a Dwarf Ranger named Matrena, and after awhile even got engaged. Gawain also learned that there was a curse placed on him, the curse forced others to forget who he is, this includes the Dragoons. Interestingly he new friends seemed to be immune to it, for now. After many great and daring deeds the group was eventually gifted with a keep, this keep was the first land that would eventually go on to become Sunreach. Since Sunreach was formed the kingdom was embroiled with two wars, both of them with a foul sorcerer named Myzarok. Myzarok was also the father of Kurbaag. With the help of Kurbaags son Rul Nok, and with the help of dwarven allies (at the price of Matrena returning to the Dwarven realms, since she was a princess,), as well as Redlanders. Myzarok was eventually Vanquished and condemned to be hunted on Gawains Gods plane, for all of time. Now Sunreach is at peace, but Gawain still has much to do. Balancing between nature and civilization. Who cursed Gawain to be forgotten, and why does his family seem to hold all the answers. Finally when will Gawain be reunited with his beloved, and finally lay down his weapons. Gawain knows that the last one may not happen anytime soon, the prophecy foretold about The Sentinals predicted they would stop the end of days, and Gawain senses that the time of the Final Battle is fast approaching.
