Hey, everyone.<br/><br/>I was supposed to start with the group but life got crazy. I just moved at the start of the month and things are finally settling down. I'll be joining the group now. It is entirely possible that Aldara and Doom met during the war or its after-effects.<br/><br/>As for turn order, I got a 6.<br/><br/>Name: Aldara Hightower<br/>Class: Fighter<br/>Race: Human<br/>Background: Soldier<br/><br/>Aldara Hightower is a soldier. But not just any soldier: she's a captain. Originally from the village of Cannet (10 miles north of Elsin Keep), she is the daughter of from a farming family. However, she was never happy in that life. Her village is seemingly always a step away from being destroyed. Law enforcement is scarce out here. There is always some threat of bandits or monsters ready to wipe her people out. And the whole village just let it happen. They'd just appease the new threat. "we'll rebuild" was the mayor's reply. Fighting back and resisting was never an option. She didn't see why. Her opinion made her very unpopular among the village leadership and her family. It scared them, frankly. When she was old enough, she left to join the military. One day, she'd see that villages like this were protected properly. That was over 15 years ago now. Her mother says that she's aged for more than just physically, but in her soul. Well, of course. It was the Last War. No one lives through a war unscathed. 30 years old with a soul of 50. Aldara is on her way back to the capital to report for duty after being allowed to go home for the Celebration of Reflection, a very important day in Torm's calendar. She checked into the Laden Mule last night.<br/><br/>(Hope you don't mind I borrowed your Last War idea, Doomglazer!)
