My Brother Must Be From Another Mother
We find out my brother Thorian is alive and working for the church of Thurn.
My family is dear to me… in many ways. I completely respect my father for trying as hard as he could to give me and my family a better life. He worked an honest and hard life as a mercenary to provide for the rest of us and I thank him for every battle fought. I love my brother Rorrin who’s misguided ways usually leave him in the shadows during a fight and not in the front but as of late he’s clumsily found his way into the front of the battle more. And… I thought I loved my brother Thorian who’s hard work and training at the Gro’Gahn Academy under the tutelage of Master Krom’Gul molded him into a self-disciplined and well rounded fighter. But today my thoughts have changed towards family. I want to believe theirs lives can be taken at face value but I’m just having a hard time coming to grips with the information that was just told to me.

Recently, we ran into a ghostly figure that was obviously a member of the church of Thurn who told me that he recognized my face and that I reminded him of his leader Thorian. After initial disbelief that he could be referring to my brother I proceeded to press him on the topic and was able to discern through the help of Throrn that he was indeed telling the truth. It was at this moment that I turned to discuss the matter with my brother who had been listening intently this entire time.

We both had been told by our father that our brother had been killed during a mercantile mission. It seemed like a glorious way to perish even though I’d miss him, I honored his death and pressed on in my adventures to show him tribute in battle.

I mourned his death…

And now to hear that perhaps he had been alive this whole time and perhaps father had lied about this and maybe more. Needless to say doubt crept into my mind about my impressions of my family. While I’ve grown to trust my traveling companions because of our many victories in battle I’ve never really fought with my father nor Thorian so I suppose that perhaps that is the only true way to see the side of a person that is needed to see his true loyalties.

I now mourn his life…

A sad turn took place that must have changed his mind from one side of the law to the other. Perhaps it was his strict upbringing or someone else’s involvement but either way I needed to find answers to this truth and the only way to do so was to continue with our current mission and then go home and confront my father. Rorrin came to the same conclusion and together we would travel back home for the first time in a long time to get the answers that we so longed for.

It was at this moment of utter sadness that Throrn sent me a glimmer of hope to show me that he would always be there for me. I heard a follower of Throrn off in the distance yell out at the top of his voice “For Throrn!” It was at this moment when I started to think about how many times he’s given me the right spell or the exact enchantment needed to heal someone. No matter what the battle Throrn has been the only constant in my life through my teachings at the academy to my glorious journeys on the battlefield. And while some of those in the group talk down of my wisdom because I appear to blindly run into the battle… the reason I have the confidence to walk head to head with undead, Aboleth’s, and other type of creatures that demand things of me is because of my wisdom that Throrn has and always will protect me whether it’s an ally who’s been completely drained of his Constitution or my brother has just been discombobulated in front of my eyes. Throrn has been there.

As I raced off with the rest of my companions following behind I blew hard on my glorious Horn of Throrn knowing that while it may appear that I’m showing a lack of wisdom, truly the greater wisdom relies in knowing who’s watching over me and supplying me with my strength, and in that thinking I am the wisest of all.
