Valamin
Geldon Knoll
Born Geldon Knoll, Valamin was killed by a rival mercenary and left for dead. He believed he was found by monks from the Order of the New Dawn, bloody and beaten to near death, and taken to their monastery in the Sunset Mountains. When he finally awoke a month later, the master of the monastery asked him questions of his past that he could not answer. Lost and alone, he was told that he could with them at the monastery while he recuperated. His memories were lost.
While living in the monastery, he became fascinated with the monks as he watched them spar across the courtyard. He was given the opportunity to learn their mystic fighting style. A few months passed and, though the master believes he was given a chance at a new life by Lathander, he find myself wondering who he was in my old life and where he come from.
One day, his master came to him asking to go help a friend of his from the city of Neverwinter, Gundren Rockseeker. He asked why when there were much better and disciplined students. The master told him that this was an opportunity to go out and possibly regain some of his memory. Valamin agreed but was secretly afraid of what he might remember. When he arrived at Neverwinter, Valamin met with a party that was to help his master's old friend and they began their journey to Phandalin.
As his adventuring party began to fight in conflicts, Valamin started to have flashes of memories. The smell from the burnt flesh from a burning body brought back the strongest memory. The more battles he fights in, the more flashbacks he has and while nothing really makes senses, he's hopeful. Valamin continues to adventure in hopes of finding someone who recognizes him and discovering more about himself.
