Herneiros

[Geoffrey Ravenhurst]

Name: Herneiros (Born Evander Rosecroft)
Race: Human
Age: 29
Class: Mist Hunter

Bio: Herneiros was born Evander Rosecroft, the son and heir of wealthy  Bastion merchant Elias Rosecroft. Elias had dreamed of establishing the first successful Imperial colony in centuries. With the assistance of other Reclaimers, he founded the tiny town of Rosebush on the continental coast. According to various letters sent to Bastion by the settlers, Rosebush was a fairly prosperous town of a few hundred, with fertile soil and good fishing. A second caravan successfully joined them and then another...

Until the seventh caravan arrived to discover a completely abandoned settlement. No bodies were found on the grounds, aside from several horses who were  seen wandering the area free. In the small wooden temple nearby lay the only clue of what had occurred to the settlers. In red paint was drawn this message.

DAMN THE ROSECROFTS TO OBLIVION

No further attempts have been made to settle Rosebush or investigate the cause of its failure.


***

Today, almost twenty five years after the failure of Rosebush, a young human is often seen riding with the Elven Mist Hunters. If not for the Elven tribal tattoos and barbaric attire, he might be mistaken for the spitting image of Elias Rosecroft himself. When approached by elder citizens of Bastion, he will remark he knows nothing of Rosebush, only that he was found in a small boat floating down the river by his adoptive family. His name is Herneiros and he is a professional Mist Hunter.
