Return to Dagger Falls

Description

Valyn is a tall thin man with short cropped brown hair, and clear blue eyes. A scar runs beneath his right eye, from just by his nose back towards his ear.

When execting trouble, Valyn wears a suit of well-worked platemail, covered with a tabbard depicting the rising sun. Contrarily, his kite shield, made a dense dark wood, bares no emblem. In a quiver slung to his back, Valyn carries a longbow with a score of arrows, and at his him he carries a shiny silvery mace.

When dressed casually, Valyn usually wears lighter colors, favoring the reds, yellows, and oranges. He is usually unarmed, with the exception of the shinny silvery mace, to which he referrs to as, Radiant Dawn.

Background

(All of this is subject to changes, especially as it relates to other folks.)

Valyn is the second child of the woodsman Jarl and the midwife Iselyn. To help liberate the town of Dagger Falls from the grip of the Zhents, Jarl used his skill with a bow, and familiarity with the forest to ambush patrols and small groups. It was in such a capacity that Jarl became an acquaintence of Marsh.

Valyn's elder brother, Jakob, died (a hero) by Zhent hands when Valyn was 15 years old. Jakob was in his early twenties and ...

What would have been Valyn's younger sister was stillborn, and left Iselyn exteremly depressed.

At the same time, Jarl had an encounter with Marsh, who was escorting his young half-human neice from Deepingdale. Apparently, both of her parents had died, and Marsh did not know how to take care of her. Jarl offered to foster the young girl named Amethyst, and Marsh accepted. Iselyn embraced Amethyst as her own daughter, and did her best to raise her well.

Valyn and Amethyst became fast friends, with Valyn always trying to watch out for his 'little sister' who, while actually was two years older than he, appeared to be several years younger.

Growing up, Valyn was always very cheerful, despite the darkness of the situation. He always kept his hopes up, and tried to keep others around him hopeful. When he wasn't doing chores around the house, or spending time at the bar with this friends, he often watched his father and the other archers practice shooting. Planning on following in his father's footsteps, Valyn used how to use a bow, and was honored on his 16th birthday to receive his brother's bow that had been recovered with is body.

During the revolution, Valyn joined the archers and woodsman.

After the revolution, Valyn felt he had to heed the call he believe he felt during the fighting. He left Daggerdale, to travel to the Morningdawn Hall, the grand temple to Lathander in Shadowdale.

Returned, Valyn looked up his old friends and his family. While not being quite as carefree as he was before he left, Valyn remains as optimistic as ever. He strives to always see the positive in a situation, and those that cannot be made positive, he will try to endure, knowing that the dawning light will bring with it a new day.

Another change, since returing, is that Valyn has begun to look at his foster sister in a different manner. No longer seeming to share the familiarity of siblings, he seems to see her in a different light.
