Caranorn Aghlaredhel's origins are a well hidden secret. What is known is that he was raised in Wehnimer's Landing by his uncles and was greatly inspired by his encounters with the giantman Thrudh Crush who had been his uncle Carandraug (Sr.)'s oldest friend. Despite being an elf Caranorn early opted to speak in an accent similar to that of many giantkin he had grown up with. Only in later times would he abandon this fad and mostly speak common. |

History
Caranorn Aghlaredhel's origins are a well hidden secret. What is known is that he was raised in Wehnimer's Landing by his uncles and was greatly inspired by his encounters with the giantman Thrudh Crush who had been his uncle Carandraug (Sr.)'s oldest friend. Despite being an elf Caranorn early opted to speak in an accent similar to that of many giantkin he had grown up with. Only in later times would he abandon this fad and mostly speak common.
Influenced by his uncle and Thrudh, Caranorn chose to become a fighter making speed and accuracy with heavy weapons his speciality. It was around that time that he adopted a human fighter named Kaylari as his sister. Another early friend, dating back to hunting dark orcs in the Abandoned Inn was the rogue Bonespirit. To this day he holds deep gratitude to a ranger named Ioo whom he only met once at Thrak's Inn, it was from this stranger that he received his first special weapon, a drake greatsword.
Even before starting adventuring in 5096 Caranorn had become a fervent follower of Lorminstra and as his skills grew he sometimes would style himself 'Knight to Lorminstra', a certain elven arrogance in which he was willing to even challenge Voln himself. Nerveless, as a servant of Lorminstra it was only natural that he would join the Order of Voln, rapidly rising to the rank of a master of that order. It was so that he met a young elf outcast whom he would adopt into his family, naming him Carantur. Like Caranorn, Carantur became a follower of Lorminstra, serving as one of her clerics in the Landing.
In his early forays in the fight against the undead Caranorn made many new friends. Among his more notable acquaintances was Morgiest, a young follower of Kai whom he helped guide in his early steps into adventuring. In later years this former role of mentor and student would often be turned around, though both penned a series of guides and history books for warriors together. Another friend met at that time was the healer Shrelae to whom he proposed in the graveyard. The young lady wisely rejected this request but saved the foolish young elf by pulling him back to his feet just as a couple of arch wights charged him, seeing an opportunity to kill their kneeling foe.
It was through Thrudh and Morgiest that Caranorn was introduced to the House Daigneach Onoir, having arrived too late he became the first non founding member of that group devoted to teaching the young, particularly in matters of honor. Unfortunately this association with Onoir was abruptly broken a few years later when his former squire, who shall not be named here, viciously turned on him in a matter of house policy. This betrayal was so traumatic that for many years Caranorn would refuse any official contact with his old House though he never broke off contact with his friends. Ever after he continued the practice of teaching the young as he had done with Onoir. Over the years these old wounds started to mend and Caranorn was first invited by Matti and later Cosanie to rejoin his old house. Still he was hesitant and it was only in 5122 that he accepted a renewed invitation and became a Paladin of Daigneach Onoir once more.
Being raised by his uncles Caranorn originally resided at Silvergate Inn and it was only after joining Onoir, that with the blessing of Lord Enegue, he sought to be admitted to House Phoenix by Lord Waldo2. As a member of Phoenix he became a hunt leader as well as his house's guide to River's Rest. His first venture to that town had rapidly turned to violence, not knowing town traditions he had asked a locksmith to open his loot boxes in the Commons, upon which the young artisan was threatened by a number of locals and Caranorn felt obliged to defend the poor adventurer, who after all had only acted on his request. Rapidly a stand off ensued in which the elven fighter stood against a dozen locals and it was only through intervention of an older empath that none were killed in the incident. Ever after Caranorn held an attraction, which he could never fully comprehend himself, to that town.
In 5122, after a long hiatus from adventuring Caranorn returned to Wehnimer's Landing where he soon came into contact with Sir Khazaann, a fighter he had met on occasion before but had not spent any particular time with before. It came as a great surprise when he was thus invited to squire for his new friend and thus join the Silver Gryphons.
The Player
Caranorn's player is not a native English speaker, he was introduced to Gemstone III in the spring of 1996 while in college in the United States. He has since returned to his home country in Europe. In addition to Caranorn he has played a number of other characters some, but by far not all, also using names starting with 'Caran...' Were he to name his characters today Caranorn would be styled 'Aglarorn Caranedhel'.
