My mother was an unfortunate girl who happened to have been captured in a raid and made a sexual servant for many a year to an orc warlord along with the others. He favored torturing her of course with his touch and his perversions because... well I can't tell you because I barely know my mother. She is a priestess of Sarenrae but when she was rescued she was bearing me inside her womb and nearly broken from the experiences. It's a miracle she survived my birth in my opinion. As much as the church's teaching promote tolerance of my existence since I was an innocent babe all the same she could not stand the sight of me. She left me in the hands of her order and wen't elsewhere to recover from her own ordeals. I have no memory of her, only what I was told of her through stories and portraits. I do not blame her for such actions. It was my father and he is father in just name."<br/><br/>"My true father and mother is Sarenrae and of the church that housed me. I am a knight and that is not just by simple name. I trained to become one in all aspects of code as well as discipline. They taught me how to read and write and how to handle a weapon. Sarenrae took the place of my mother and saw the potential for great good in me and as she had raised me in her house, I remained to devote myself to the church. I trained, read and committed the scriptures to my heart. I earned my position the same way they would grant any of his knights. A quest was given along with an oath, I swore my heart and blade upon it. My father is still out there still harming others with his ways. It is my personal quest to end his existence so he may never harm another like my mother ever again. This is my choice of redemption and form of proper justice. I do not have to bear this burden but I do so anyway."<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Known Creed of Gra'ak</strong></span><br/><br/><em>"Honor no laws that would promote evil."<br/>"Honor the laws that are just and hold peace."<br/>"Honor none who hold wickedness in them truly."<br/>"Honor those who would not serve the law but remain just."</em>
