Posted a history thing, basically an event that eventually lead to knighthood two years prior to start. I left it open as to who else might want to be involved since I'm not sure what village it would have been near. If it was near Beratana Village then these are the following things I can think of to link to people currently on the 'approved characters' thread for those people who are interested in trying to make a connection.<br/><br/>Kirien - Melan needs a healer for her arm, possible brief meeting<br/>Brennisen - Melan needed a ranger or woodsmen type to find and get directions towards the fortress, either her or her master perhaps<br/>Pansy - She'll need to report and is possibly going to need to update the ambassador in the city of Greyhawk so could run into each other through random chance or something else<br/>Enastril - I don't really know for this one. Still working on it<br/>Yesqwyn - Not really sure here other than a random chance meeting. I lack magic so I'm not sure what might interest the mage.<br/>Taavia - Could work as a mercenary and have gotten paid to help carve up bandits too? Might have thrown an axe or shot an arrow at the mage and halted the elemental in the fight?<br/>
