Rokk Family History

The name Rokk came decades ago to family after we were freed by the Snake People in the year 1004 Before the Victory of Lanival. My ancestors wandered aimlessly for decades until the came upon a small rocky outcropping northeast of Crossing a ways. They set up camp here one night, and enjoyed the place so much, they decided never to leave. They created a Council of Five to be the governing body of this small encampment. The Council of Five quickly voted to name this place after the first Gor'Tog that they knew to rise against the Snake People; Rokk. It just so happened that Rokk's decedent Throshmir was living amongst them. From then on he took the second name Rokk as a tribute to his great-great-grandfather. There was peace in Rokk for many generations, and one day, 366 years after the victory of Lanival the Redeemer, a little toggling was born. His father named him Healfdene, after his decedent who rose against the Snake People. In time, he to would take the second name of Rokk, just as his father, and his father's father had done before him. Shortly after Healfdene turned 18 his older adopted Kaldar brother and himself went out into Elanthia to make a name for themselves. Little did they realize the horrors that would befall their village when they were gone.

After years of not seeing anybody, Healfdene went back to Rokk, longing to see his mother and father. The path to the small village was blocked by many fallen boulders and scorched tree branches. After hours of arduous work, he managed to clear the path and fight onward on his journey. Three long days and nights he followed the path, until in the early dawn of the fourth day he came upon the rocky outcropping. Nothing was left but burned down huts and charred remains. Scattered among the wreckage were various trolls, all bearing the same clan tattoos.

In a blind rage, Healfdene found this clan and tracked them to their lair, where he left not one single living soul. Some say Healfdene realized the folly of not being around that day. Either way, it is now said he is once again trying to build the Rokk Family.

Early Adventuring

Healfdene knew from birth that he was destined for life outside the village. He would bring honor to his name, and all in Elanthia would know who the Rokks were.

It was a fairly obvious choice for him to go and speak to Agonar in the Crossing Barbarian Guild, where himself, and his older Kaldar brother, Lonur, got their start. After a few years of slow advancement, and learning the local language, the two brothers decided to split ways for a time, and Lonur scouted up north around Theren.

He was noticed by the Order of the Theren Guard for his exceptional actions, and was invited to join their ranks. Once he did, he sent word down to Crossing to Healfdene, who quickly followed him up north. Theren became as natural to Healfdene as the Rocky Outcropping he had once called home. His service to the Barony and the people was second nature for him.

Years passed in bliss when Healfdene made a short trip to Crossing. In the empath's guild there he met a young human empath by the name of Addisyn. She had run away from her home on the Islands to come to the mainland, and was very scared and frightened. Some say it was "love at first sight" but we will never truly know. They eloped to Theren where Addisyn was invited to join the elite ranks of the Order of the Theren Guard.

After many years of happiness, sorrow befell Healfdene, as Lonur got into a terrible fight with a rouge zombie during the initial onset of the War Against Lyras. He has yet to recover from his coma and Healfdene has come to terms with the fact that he likely never will be conscious again.

Today

Today Healfdene serves proudly the people of Therengia and Baron Gyfford Theren as Communications Officer of the Order of the Theren Guard. His unwavering loyalty to the Barony nearly caused him to be eaten by Tachid during the War Against Lyras.

The Rokk Family has began to expand once more, now including Addisyn, Morlokk, Slyider, and Refrain. Healfdene, being the sole heir to the Rokk Family name has created a Family Crest and proudly wears it on his longcoat.

Healfdene and Addisyn will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary shortly, and are very excited about it. The had an early celebration by having a Vow Renewal Ceremony recently.
