He was born to half-elf parents who lived in Battledale, on small farming community at The Belt region which is sparsely populated as whole. But this community was spread out in ten mile radius and locals tended fields, farms and their craft. His family ran a small farm with lifestock but it was for their personal needs, main source of trade and income came from smith work which his father worked with locals and traders and even few adventurers. His father had belonged to Lord's Men, in military he served as armorer and had learned craft and repair weapons and armor until in one serious conflict he got injured on his leg. Albeit it did not stop working as smith but it became impossible for him serve in military where he could forced to march, haul, lift or dig drenches when needed. So he retired and married.<br/><br/>Aramis studied under his father's footsteps, but the traveling adventurers and their stories always fascinated him and he was drawn by their stories. However his parents discouraged it, telling him to stop dreaming of grandeur life of adventure and just be happy for simple life as a smith. Only exciting events happened in 1322 and 1336 (when he was four years old and then eighteen years old). In 1322 when monster attacks dramatically increased to point some magical beasts spilled over from Three Rivers region to The Belt as well. But Lord's men handled it and despite rumors nothing approached even close to his home. In 1336 Zhents conquered Daggerdale and it made some locals worry for further Zhents attacks and caused rise to interest for local militia. Aramis, with thirst for bit of excitement joins and helps organize the local militia with other youths and he thanks his natural immense charisma became captain of local militia which he named as <em>Young Braves Brigade</em>.<br/><br/>Local elders and parents allowed this 'play army' go around patrolling and practicing so long it did not interrupt any family's work or cause stress of a workload. Expecting entire affair die out in season or two. But it did not, as Aramis was half-serious in running it and he was concerned for safety of the locals. It caused a building schism between him and his father who became accidentally a spokesman for locals, mostly complain, in 'recruiting working young men and women to play soldiers'. Some recruits lasted only a day or two before families pressured them to quit, while most rest older recruits, the first one, stuck around and keep routine going but overtime from thirty only fifteen 'stubborn cases' remained.<br/><br/>Then in 1339, Year of the Weeping Moon, same year when lord of Shadowdale, lord Aumry, was assassinated by Zhent agents, a unknown mercenary, raider group, approached The Belt. When Young Braves Brigade patrol (consisted of five people on horseback) inquired their business in region, three were shot down, one injured seriously (later died on injuries) and one lucky survivor raised alarm in The Belt. However raiders were swift and numerous, cutting roads and shooting down messengers who tried to summon Lord's Men and they circulated the small area where Aramis and his community resided in. They were one many communities flanked and sneakily approached by mercenaries who clearly carried Zhents colors in them! Had moved into region unseen and in smaller groups and regrouped while inside the region. Intending hold many communities hostage and blackmail to yield region over to them from lord of Essembra.<br/><br/>In that moment Aramis commanded everyone leave their homesteads and head to old keep in the area, it was ancient and sometimes Aramis had held some practices with Young Braves Brigade over there, in there he planned organize defense. He managed guide people to safety successfully but soon as they closed their gates and small army of raiders surrounded them, realizing they were trapped. More so they build siege engines and started bombard the keep with stone and alchemical fire, building civilian and brigade casualties. Aramis was desperate, he may had been smart, charismatic and inspired by adventurers tales on battles and wars but he was not experienced enough and had not truly faced war or battles before! Fear gripped him tightly, more so weight of responsibility what he held and saw in eyes of people he was their only hope and that crushed his heart inside. In bitter tears he prayed for salvation and then he heard a voice; a alluring female voice, asking to look and find her in depths of ruins.<br/><br/>Following voice command he searched the ruins, while siege continued and enemy was on gates ramming with battering ram. Last hour of battle coming and now raiders showing no mercy, intending none at all to survivors for sake of their defiance. As siege thunders above the ruins, in lower levels he finds signs of ancient elven stone work after collapsed wall. Present keep build atop ruins of older keep; a elven keep. Inside he finds armory with ruined swords and armor, however in pedestal rested a horn in silver with engravings of elves battling army of demons. As he grasped it, the horn spoke; it informed him that thanks elven blood he can blow the horn and call upon heroes of old, elven heroes who already rest and sleep in <strong>Arvandor</strong> (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Arvandor), but it comes with cost; horn will loose most of it's magical powers and become a regular Horn of Valhalla. The horn's sentience also would disappear, so to allow Aramis to blow and use horn's full magic perhaps last time, had to make a pact with the horn and indirectly to Seldarine; on take likely lifelong quest to restore horn's powers. In going life as a hero, do heroics, preserve elven values and never wield weapon which was not granted by his pact. Wielding replicas of elven weapons of old in battle and thus bring glory to their makers.<br/><br/>Aramis agreed and he felt surge of arcane energy fill him as pact was made, surge of magical power infuses him and gave him visions of Arvandor and to ancient elven past, the Crown Wars and all past conflicts, heroic battles and adventures of elven heroes, mere a glimpse. Then in euphoric bliss with visions dancing on his eyes he blew on the horn, it's song with perfect clarity ringed through the keep and up skies and around the keep. A silvery mist emerges which clouds the battlefield.....covers advance of elven heroes who answered the call of the horn of Arvandor. The elven heroes had come from Arvandor to battle once more, granted bodies of flesh and given their signature weapons and they battle with ferocity and skill shared across aeons upon the raider's army! The battering ram falls quiet, catapults stop firing and silence slowly falls as battle ends. When mists departs, all what's left are corpses of the zhentarim mercenaries laid about battlefield to feed the crows.<br/><br/>Aramis was knocked out three days and he woke up, he told his tale and community was in awe. Albeit later horn was recognized as sacred relic by elven scholar but it had no power. But Aramis taking burden of the debt he left his home in Battledale and set out in adventuring in 1340, Year of the Lion and when he was twenty two.</div></div><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Adventuring Career</strong><br/><br/>The first major conflict Aramis Fournier participated in<em>Battle of the River Rising</em>in Featherdale in 1340, starting early on his career as adventurer and starting practice his mysterious magical powers. During the conflict he met War-Councilor Ilmeth, general of Battledales Lord's Men who lend some aid to the conflict along with Sembians. They befriended in battlefield and he shared his own tales of heroic battle in The Belt, impressed by the tale and horn as proof of the deed he believed it. Over the years they had talked and met since then, sharing battle stories and such even after Ilmeth became lord of Battledale himself.<br/><br/>After that he joined to mercenary band, Moonlight Men (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Moonlight_Men), recruitment happened in Sembia and he traveled with the band (and getting know Mintiper Moonsilver (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Mintiper_Moonsilver), man becoming great source of inspiration for Aramis) for some years until they participated what was basically band's last battle (albeit group got disbanded officially at 1358 as license ran out);<strong>Battle of Turnstone Pass</strong>(https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_of_Turnstone_Pass) in Year of the Boot at 1343. In participation of that battle, some horn's magic returned to it but with horrible cost as only Mintiper, Aramis and five others survived. The event burying his friends and comrades had profound effect on Aramis, who had participated in few battles but not have felt a loss before. He nearly lost all dear to him when he acquired the horn, but even if technically battle was won, he saw no victor in battlefield. Just corpses. He parted ways with the survivors and sought new ventures. Doing half-dozen ventures and explorations as he traveled to Silvermoon and Waterdeep.<br/><br/>He was in House of Heroes (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_Heroes), honoring heroes of old when Night of Temple Fires (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Night_of_Temple_Fires) occurred, he tried defend the house first against the forces but as fires started he snatched several artifacts to bag of holding and then later return them to Tempus clergy (to high priest Vaugh) to help with restoration efforts.<br/><br/>In Year of the Arch (1353 DR), when catlords emerged in Arabel he offered aid to the catlords (to help solve the conflict) and he successfully tracked down remains of their heroic figure from one dishonest merchants whom had bought a item from a thief who had stolen the remains (which took form of golden cat's paw, albeit inside said paw was hand of past catlord and it provided infinite amount of luck to user with cost causing misfortune in area). One catlords became a on/off going romantic relationship for Aramis.<br/><br/>Then in Year of the Worm (1356 DR) he was in Sword Coast when hell broke loose in there and he battled non-stop entire year dealing with band of goblinoid forces, devils and dark mages which assault Baldur's Gate and working with Flaming Fist as mercenary first but then later become honorary member as he leads militia and advises on strategies.<br/><br/>Since then Aramis has continued to travel, facing adventures and famous adventurers in Faerun and traveled north, south and west in his life seeking heroics, battles and also help immortalize some less known heroes with his novel work and in songs and tales. He then heard of about grand trial in far west in Faerun and so he headed there to see what's it about (and what sort heroes it brings and see can horn's powers elevated further).<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Naughtier tales</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aramis had always been handsome lad, even in youth many girls came to father's forge watch him work and sweat and work his muscles. It's boring in countryside after all. But one who introduced him to carnal arts weren't none the maidens but widower, Tanya Hills (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e8/63/7a/e8637addfa8e7b73ed0061453af3dc5e.jpg). She had married off young to older farmer who then died on stroke and she has been widow for a decade and ran farm (which she inherited) herself. She needed smith to place shoes on her working horses and repair a wagon, easiest to do in her farm than drag everything to smith. So Aramis was send there for repairs for couple days, but managed get work done less than day but the two days went for 'something else needing care of' (https://x.imagefapusercontent.com/u/ron2007/6196714/425837987/LovelyxCation_EP2_1_Rec15.gif).<br/><br/>Tanya made it clear from start; she had need for a man for one and one thing only. In truth she could had fixed things herself, but she not wanting no gossip or getting called slut by local uptight bitches. So it became just quiet private thing between Aramis and her, on and off sessions. She did not mind when Aramis employed tricks she taught on other women in area (so girls who stared him before got eventually each one broken in). But even after all dozens of women, some even more sexier and more powerful he does remember Tanya mostly and most fondest as well.<br/><br/>Second one he does not actually remember (IC wise), but it occurred when he bonded and attuned to Horn of Arvandor. The female voice was spirit in the horn and during attuning process where he was awestruck by visions from Arvandor (who drive mortals mad and euphoric with joy), during the trance he met the spirit and had wildest sex (http://www.hemdomblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/DisgustingWeightyDromedary-size_restricted.gif) so far in his life. Avatar of the horn taking form of firm build but bust blond brass skinned elf with deep blue eyes. It was perhaps on that moment he fell in love with her, in open welcomed passion, but same time, he forgot it entirely and may be root reason for why he cannot commit to relationship, yield heart as he has already and perhaps subconscious know he cannot be with the spirit (even if horn restored) unless he becomes a god.<br/><br/>After the battle of river rising, when he went to Sembia to get registered for moonlight men he met a woman who worked on Silver Ravens; Lyenne Frostleaf (https://i.imgur.com/Ir3VLjA.jpg), she despite meek appearance and fancying dress as maid was actually ruthless assassin, spy and network dealer and is around mid ranks in silver ravens organization. A sun elf but with unknown age. He accepted a job from her as moonsilver man and completed it and did some other odd jobs here and there and he took it as challenge to melt her icey frozen heart. She for months persisted until one night she did yield (https://img.xbooru.com//images/611/36b10984af1be047218c207aa04f0ed0.gif), showing herself to be smiling genuine manner. However instant after that night she told their business association has ended and he better pray never see her or hear from her, as either way indicates he is her target and likely killed as result from a job. Aramis assuming for sake for personal strict professionalism she had to cut him off.<br/><br/>After the deadly battle on turnstone pass he was hailed as hero across silver marches and got many opportunities to get laid, but only event which shook off his jaded cold heart from cold deadly chill of battle was none other than Alustriel yearly orgy party (https://66.media.tumblr.com/90a75b8520157a1f20d7a0f1ce27c636/tumblr_nkpi9bvYL21u7ylgco3_400.gif), more so besides general fun and partners he got picked up by Alustriel Silverhand herself (https://www.worldanvil.com/uploads/images/c02e5b2b3bc665fba06c72f267cab0f6.jpg) for over a day....and to this date Aramis haven't been worked hardest than was by that woman. Near insatiable yet same time in haze of lust showed in silver eyes a ancient cunning and intelligence which scares Aramis to this day. She clearly tried seduce him and join her court, become one her lovers and agents and for many years invited him to orgy party and otherwise have tea with her and discuss politics. But overtime once realizing Aramis is not 'settling' type any fashion over time the invites ended and ceased. One few dumps which Aramis regrets actually.<br/><br/>Another to regret happened during masked ball in Waterdeep where he encountered another Silverhand sisters; Larael (https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/0/01/Laeral-5e.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20181208034828). The masked ball turned into orgy and Larael was supposed meet one Harper agents during it, but Aramis had interfered in forceful manner (https://cdnio.luscious.net/Kaley.moro/311585/nsfw-00__1583_01CDA31H3MZKRPQ87DV26MNZAW.gif) in bending her over and nail against the bed and soon Larael even forgot what for she was there. Compared to Alustriel she had lacked level headed mind or simply lacked in carnal pleasures compared to her queendom ruling sister wise. Or simply catch her off guard after long dry season or such.<br/><br/>But Aramis did not know who she was from the party until later encounters she made and through her was inducted into Harper organization and later to Moonstars, however sooner or later Arunsun Blackstaff found out and for obvious reasons he is no longer in Moonstars and rather there is new deadly enchantment in Black Tower; if he comes anywhere hundred feet close to it, it will fire lightning bolt to his location. After that Larael perhaps decided for sake of Aramis own life leave him alone or entire point of affair with Aramis was to make her husband jealous. Albeit Aramis is damn sure it was not entirely the plot she aimed for, at least in beginning.<br/><br/>His other lovers included a tiefling woman called Sarya (https://images.sex.com/images/pinporn/2017/06/28/300/17974458.jpg), a harper but also professional smuggler and pirate in Sword Coast. She is perhaps quite similar to Tanya that she does not want lasting relationships, just casual fun now and then. But is super jealous type when she is 'on' mode, unlike Tanya. It was through having side affair during his trips both with her and someone else he nearly got killed and has avoided her since and from going to Baldur's Gate, as he is not sure how long she can carry grudge and considering how she keeps her men loyal in crew by <em>peeling the banana</em> torture on mast, he does not want find out.<br/><br/>Only crazier is female drow Eleza Darkwind (https://cdnio.luscious.net/Yeulx/841/lusciousnet_lusciousnet_umrwfr_1854062644.gif), a warlock devoted to Lolth, spider queen. She was first born daugther of matron mother (now matron, thanks aid of Aramis). She was captured in surface raid at Sembia and she refused spill beans on her house or underdark city operations. So as smart man Aramis did unthinkable to drows prepare for; using unfiltered philter of love and cast bestow curse on her (using expensive spell scroll from Thayan enclave) to make it permanent. Besides her patrons devotion, she became <em>obsessed</em> with Aramis and to Aramis it was very intense and carnal relationship (as drows there is no other ways show affection besides sex, so loads hot sex and he did not complain). She told what was needed and agreed even work with Sembia silver ravens to bring 'peace' to surface if she gets to become matron mother in major house and thus have influence decide such things.<br/><br/>She tied Aramis to her ambitions and Aramis was her partner in crime for any dark deeds, assassinations, seduction, backstabbing. Only one he could rely on was Eleza as he trusted the 'love' to work for him and protect him in Underdark. But he underestimated dark elves sense of insecurity and trust; more intense the love, that greater of fear losing it. Leading Eleza becoming even crazy jealous (not harm him, just skin any woman he looked at) and then finale came when true nightmare manifested in Aramis being captured by Eleza, chaind on dungeon, to avoid him leaving and becoming her love slave forever! Thankfully Aramis was rescued by his harper friends but since then he has been hunted down by Darkwind house drow trackers ad sometimes Eleza herself join in hunt and otherwise make his life difficult as she chases him or threaten harm those he cares about. She is craziest of all his lovers and powerful enough to be serious problem thanks her warlock powers skyrocketed thanks becoming matron of her house. Aramis prays she <em>never</em> breaks free from the philter of love influence or true abyss breaks loose.....also was last time he ever played around with magical love potions. Even if seduction of Eleza was for name of good but he may had created monster.</div></div>
