Dillis Ergo Mossborn
Dillis Ergo Mossborn (a.k.a. Mossy)
He grew up in a Town built within a Swamp, this granted Ergo a peaceful life undisturbed by outside troubles. Running the family business, his parents worked as the lumberjacks of his home town. Due to this, he grew up in a truly well made home, showcasing their work both in woodcutting and carpentry. As young child, he was often asked to carry wood or bring his parents their tools for work. The hard manual labour encouraged strength and endurance in his body, he would often go above and beyond what was asked from him due to the rather dull nature of his home town. In his teenage years, his desire for adventure and something different grew too powerful, causing him to become restless as he looked for something to devote his life and energy to.
At the end of a week, he and his family would visit the local temple to attend the service and make offerings for good luck. On the rare occasions he was not needed to assist with woodcutting or woodworking, he felt inexorably drawn to the Church Guards. Their training regimes provided an entertaining show to watch, while the stories they told often fascinated Ergo, making him look beyond the horizons.
At the time, when my training as acolyth started... Something very cool happened. Reyna was born. A very cool guard drake i want to add. I played a lot with it when i had the freetime to do so. Its green scales are hard to find in the swamp. I could search like hours without success when playing hide and seek with her, but whistling always lets her return to me. Then i reward her with some good treat made of meat. My Father teached Reyna in combat so it could protect the gathered wood needed for work and help the guards. Before i finished my studies, rumors about an Froghemoth wandering around started to worry our hunters. But as far as i know, it was only rumors. They discribed its 4 tentacles and the size of an elephant. Hahaha~ If it realy is somewhere around the swamp, it would be good to bring it back to show my power.
As was common in such provincial towns, religious instruction was also accompanied by more down to earth lessons. Items such as numeracy, literacy, logic, as well as various other lessons were provided. These lessons fascinated Ergo, expanding his mind and horizons in equal measure, they spoke of life outside of the swamp and of a world of discovery and adventure. When the offer was made, as much to make him quiet as a reward for his dedication to the local temple, he jumped on the chance to make his Oath and become a follower of Tiamat. In his haste and eagerness to explore and see the rest of the world, he forgot to think about what type of god Tiamat, the local town deity, was.
He would then join the temple full time, becoming an Acolyte.
While taking over the daily work in the Temple and teaching the younglings about what he has learned, he did spend a lot of time with one special female acolyte around his age. Her Name was Planty Thavara.
In the end of his twenties, he realized that he deeply fell in Love with her. He invited her at Night to a special Place he found while helping in his families business. That Part of the Swamp, far away from their Town, was filled with the beautifull smell of a special mossflower only florishing at night for a view hours. Using that romantic scenery, he confessed his deep love for her. She accepted his feelings, overwhelmed by her own emotions. A view months later were a Marriage celebrated in the Temple, making both Wife and Husband.
In the middle of his 30s some certain Rumors reached their town, making the Temple elders nervous. They held a circle, praying to Tiamat for answers if they should act and how. Suprised by that choice, Ergo got called to visit the Elders.
From all the strong and wise Temple Guards, he of all people got chosen. Dutiful and with the will to help, he accepted the task. Even if that means he has, to leave the town and his loved Wife for a while.
