In the intricate tapestry of House Orbryn's history, a tale unfolds with Keinnyr, a Drow born in the shadowed depths of the Underdark, destined to defy his dark heritage and embrace the path of a Paladin. Keinnyr's origin lies in the heart of the Underdark, born to House Everhate, a name that foretells the sinister nature of his birthplace. His very existence, marked by an oddity that caught the attention of his mother and the disapproving gaze of Lloth, led to a fateful decision. Rather than being sacrificed to the Spider Queen, Keinnyr underwent secret dark rituals, altering his destiny and leaving him cursed. Brought to the surface, he was discovered by the Orbryn family near their expansive vineyard in Teradryn. Raised as a servant, Keinnyr toiled in the winery for many years until an elf in shining armor arrived, proclaiming the divine plans the Seldarine had for him. The Orbryn family, deeply rooted in religious beliefs, released him to follow his newfound destiny. Under the guidance of his elven mentor, Keinnyr spent a decade in rigorous training, shielding himself from detection of the Drow taint that lingered in his very being. Emerging from this transformative journey, he returned to the Teradryn Vineyard a changed and deeply spiritual man, now bearing the mantle of a Paladin. Standing at a formidable 6'6", Keinnyr's Drow heritage is evident in his striking red eyes, flowing white hair, and jet black skin that bears the imprints of elder years. His attire often consists of priestly vestments or the solemn armor befitting his role as a Paladin. Keinnyr is a man of few words, preferring to listen and observe. His vague responses serve as a shield against obligations that deviate from his motives. Annoyance arises swiftly when distractions impede his work, revealing a dedication to his responsibilities as a Paladin. While he respects the solemnity of his title, he steers clear of frivolous events, except for religious ceremonies, where his faith and devotion shine through. Upon his return, Keinnyr's gaze fell upon Ilaerae, the daughter of Caelaesar and Eshandra Orbryn. Love sparked between them at first sight, and their bond deepened as they shared their lives. United by love and faith, Keinnyr and Ilaerae's journey culminated in a joyous union as they embraced marriage, with Keinnyr taking the Orbryn family name as his own. Keinnyr's past as a laborer echoes in his demeanor, marked by a strong work ethic. His religious devotion is evident in his role as a Paladin, and his noble bearing speaks to the nobility embraced through his union with House Orbryn. Yet, shrouded in secrecy, a lingering curse from his Drow heritage remains. Unbeknownst to Keinnyr, the shadows of his past haunt him, a silent reminder of the mysterious and unknown, waiting to unfurl its consequences on his journey. In the halls of House Orbryn, Keinnyr stands as a testament to the transformative power of faith and the unwavering commitment to rising above one's origins. The Drow Paladin, adorned with armor and guided by the light of the Seldarine, contributes his essence to the ongoing saga of House Orbryn.......Or does he?. |
