Background
Rhoran keeps most of his background and origin to himself. When pressed by his fellow acolytes, however, he has revealed a few tidbits.
- Grew up far from Zoluren, but was sent to Crossing to join the Cleric guild by his uncle.
- Left his parents and two sisters (one older, one younger) behind.
- Father was a soldier, and his mother was a Blacksmith.
- Older sister was training in lunar magic when he left home and his younger sister was just starting to walk.
- Very fond of the ancient tales his father would tell during the long winter months indoors.
- Lived near many gnomes and had several as friends.
Life as a Cleric
Though he is a very private person, Rhoran is not overly shy about his beliefs.
- Dedicated to Urrem'tier and upholding the sanctity of the dead.
- Has a special interest in training to guard the tombs and spirits of the dead.
- Is very interested in the concept of the Kaneija held by Orisas in the Gorbesh religion.
- Has risen within the ranks of the guild enough, and completed quests to earn, the following abilities:
- Communes: Tamsine's, Eluned's, Kertigen's, Hodierna's, Eluned's second, Meraud's
- Abilities: Mana Infusion
- While investigating a crackling, chaotic energy that rippled through the Crossing and a sense that something sacrosanct was breaking apart, he stumped upon Undertaker Khurek and learned the Sacrifice ritual.
Day to Day Life
- Owns a cabin to the west of Crossing on Battle Bell Court in Temple Hill.
- Frequently travels to train his martial skills by hunting various creatures and monsters.
Crafting
- Professional Weaponsmith specializing in bladed weapons.
- Tinkering hobbyist.
- Will also take up one of the Enchanting disciplines as a hobby, but is waiting to decide on which one.

Memorable Moments
- Participated in Droughtman's Challenge of 443
- Havrandu 17 Ka'len 434
- After being directed to speak with High Priestess Tallis in the Crossing Temple, Rhoran set out to learn a nearly forgotten technique called Mana Infusion. His attempt went poorly due to a lack of preparation or clear information on what awaited him within the abandoned church. The Grey Lach's proved beyond his combat skills and he was forced to turn back. After returning to the Crossing in defeat, his tale of defeat was overheard by an elder member of the Guild. A few days later several Lach claws were deposited in the guild's donation bin and word was passed to Rhoran to pick them up. Now, able to avoid combating the Lachs, he could return for another attempt. After traveling south to the abandoned church, this time accompanied by his teacher Teryn, Rhoran was able to utilize the claws and his wits to reach his goal: a leather-bound grimoire. Once able to study the an ancient grimoire, it took little time for him to learn both the theory and practical skill to infuse mana into active spells.
