Renshai

In ancient times there was a great warrior clan living far north of mesraht. This clan existed simply to war upon others, no great malice for life or people made them this way...they simply loved the life that constant battle gave them. Now because of this they were outcasts, spurned by all the other clans. So all the clans of that area banded together to attempt to wipe them off the face of the land, to end the constant warring and let peace finally reign. Though they should have been caustious knowing that the clan was made of some of the best warriors from all over the land. Though in their foolishness they simply attacked....both clans lost many good people. The opposing clans were decimated, the warrior clan...also known as Renshai...had many casulties but were still strong enough to finish off the war and still win. Knowing this the remants of the opposing clans fled south towards present day mesraht, never to return to the valley. After many years they did try and find their way back to the valley that they had come from...to finish the Renshai...but none could find thier way back. One day a keep was said to have simply appeared atop a mountain far to the north, but there was NO way to climb the shear cliffs of the mountain, as they made up the sides of this mountain.

Now in modern times this ancient clan has been reborn. It's seeming disappearance only known to the clanleader until now. After that great battle in the past the clan elders decided that they must somehow either keep the other clans out of the valley or they must flee the valley never to return. Unlike most of the clan members the elders realized that thier way of life would no longer fit in with the new world. Unless they made changes in their ways one day the other clans WOULD defeat them and the clan would be destroyed. Hearing this Thor came to the elders and made them an offer. He offered to take the valley and hide it away from the rest of the world in exchange for a service to him and the rest of the gods. In exchange the Renshai were to stay in the valley and move to the center of it, while the rest of the valley was to be repopulated with minor demons and other creations of evil as well as good. To the north of them were the creations of good, and to the south of them were the minions of evil. They were to help keep the balance between good and evil. To help keep the world stable in that way. Little did they know that thier struggles would effect the rest of the world, they were keeping the balance of good and evil for all of aurealis without knowing it. Now obviously they took the offer to live as they did for thousands of more years. Until now, the gods had decided that the world could keep it's own balance now and the efforts of the Renshai were no longer needed. So they went to the valley and took the Renshai from it, telling them that the day had come for them to rejoin the rest of the world. But to do this they would have to make a few changes in the way thier clan worked. All warriors in the clan wouldn't work, if they were to survive they would need clerics, bards, mages, shamans, and rangers to add diversity and help keep the clan alive. They were still wanted to wwork for the cause of neutrality. To help keep the forces of Good and Evil in check, balanced. To let niether power get more powerful than the other. Though some of the old Renshai traditions have stood through all the changes, like the need to work at being the best you can in combat, and to help others especially clan members in thier training. Now with the mysterious keep as their HQ clan renshai eternally struggles to keep the balance.

An elder god, seeing that the clan renshai needed to re-enter the world after their century(or longer, no one is sure) long struggle keeping the balance of the world, decided they would need a herald, a new clanleader brought up in the ways of this new world. So in he took mortal form and married a young woman not even thor remember's anylonger. He had 3 children with this woman, each very strong, wise, and even 1 with incredible musical talent. These boys were named Davrin, Rache, and Modi. After seeing the traits of all he picked Modi to herald the new clan as he was the strongest and most stubborn, he choose the other brothers to help him on his quest. So after many years when Modi and his brothers were around 17 or 18 he sent them out to the real world to make lives for themselves. Modi trained as a warrior, Rache as a cleric, and Davrin as a Bard. Now the lives of Rache and Davrin are another story completely so we will focus mainly on Modi. Now modi went out into the world, Adventuring. making a name for himself without really realizing it, or even caring. He simply went to to learn and grow so he could be the clanwarrior his father said he could be. After time Modi made friends, one of which we will add to the story as she plays a big part in his life, his friend was Bast, a cleric. During his adventuring he and bast became fast friends and eventually were engaged to be married. Long before their engagement Modi had joined the Might Scar-Bearer guild to help him learn about the realms. Eventually he was 1 of the many mighty warriors of the realms, certainly not the best but a fairly good 1. After many a year as a Scar-Bearer he Re-Started his clan....The Renshai. Now this clan is very large and somewhat powerful, none of it came easily, modi had many a brush with death, barely escaping a final resting place on any occasions. So now the Renshai are restored to the land their Keep in use, and Modi and Bast engaged....Aaaawwwwww isn't that sweet? :p~....though we aren't sure if modi is still in full control of his senses...hehe
