Dannal grew up in
Cinder Hollow, the son of the village blacksmith and the preacher’s
daughter. From a young age, he was fascinated by his grandfather the
preacher’s tales of the Eyrathan gods and eventually decided to
become a priest of Jogrum, himself.
Journeying to the larger town
of Riverbend, he studied under the local priest and soon fell in love with the
priest’s daughter, Elliandra. When it came time to return home as village
priest, she went with him as his wife. A year later, Jogrum blessed their union
with a baby girl named Allena.
Despite the turbulent times,
Dannal, Elliandra, and Allena were very happy. That was, until five years ago,
when Lord Pandor, one of Duke Duvel’s lieutenants, thought one of Cinder
Hollow’s merchants had cheated him (he hadn’t) and brought down the wrath of
Duvel’s army on the village. When Dannal tried to make peace and stop the
rampage, he was knocked unconscious and his house was set on fire. Sadly, his
wife and daughter were unable to escape and died in the blaze.
Without the love of his wife
and daughter, Dannal became bitter and began to question just what the gods’
plans were for him and did they really need to take Elliandra and Allenda from
him? The bitterness and desire for revenge began to eat away at him and he soon
found himself unable to administer to the village’s needs. So, with a heavy
heart, he left Cinder Hollow to join with one of the bands of rebels fighting
Duvel’s rule.
