RP Hooks ––– – Born in the Light Tan'tilton is the second son and third child of house Sprucesworn of Transquillion, which means very little in the eyes of his family considering what he is now. Sprucesworns serving as rangers under the flag of Quel'Thalas for hundreds of years, Tan was set to follow in legacy of his fore family but threw it all away as the fear of the worlds finally struck him fully to the heart. The Sprucesworns continue to serve and live in the recovering city of Tranquillien but grow cold as Icecrown when mentioning the former wayward son.
Walking into Shadow Wise and powerful words were spoken to select elven folk in the midst of the turmoil gripping the elven state as the world constantly crashed around them. The strong faith of a powerful magister took hold of the failing Farstrider and lead him to take counsel as much as refuge in the teaching of Umbric. The idea to find safety and security for his people and city was a noble notion when entering the rift that day in the Ghostlands. Truly many lived up to that concept, but for Tan it was far more selfish reasons. He wanted to live. After all the horrors visited upon his life by the world it seemed reasonable to believe that hope would lie beyond the veil, deep within the Void.
Running through Darkness A Ren'dorei's life is new and harrowing as being cut off from all they had known and would know to come back from the Void into the real again. Stained by the abyss. Forged by the enemy. Channeling the madness. Tan was no stranger to the dark touch he had tried to run from only to be warped by the creatures beyond the rift. Taken from all he had known before and sent into a new but familiar world with the teachings of a Windrunner to manage the taint, the former Farstrider would find himself heading into the climax of the Fourth War across the sea to the isles of the humans. To Kul Tiras. To Drustvar. To the Order.
Standing in the Embers The Fourth War was closing, but the island of Kul Tiras would never be quiet again. So much darkness had clawed it's way back into the world, eager to feed on the life of it's people and wounded riches of the country. The people cried for aid and as many during the war had rallied to the cries when the war came to a close those ships left the island behind. The Order of Embers remained as it had been remade by the Waycrests so should it stand fast still in the face of the dark may it be from witch, demon, beast, or other shadow that sidled from stone and sea. But they needed hands. They needed knowledge. Enter a lost elf with a wealth of knowledge, a strong hand of skills, and a hunger for redemption.
Counting on Home It had been two minutes to Midnight when the call for all those of elven lineage should return home. Quel'Thalas was under siege. The Sunwell was under attack. The Void had come home. So too should all children of the Sun to bring to the bear a shield of faith to protect all those who could not be. Tan could not ignore the call, despite the reservations and failings of his past. There was more than a city at stake. There is family. He can't lose them now. Not to this. Not again.

IC - "Do you think mama," whispered the small troll as she wrapped her arms around her much larger father as she pressed her face into his scarred green skin. The heartbreaking echoing in the child's voice as she spoke in broken sobs. "Do you think mama would be disappointed at I am glad you are home?"
Tan'tilton stood silent in the rain as he watched the sorrowful reunion, the beads of water slipping down his violet tinged face as the bright red hair matted to his face. He'd been fighting for some time now. Some time felt like forever now even though he had only been with the Order of Embers for a few short years the times before the now was harder to remember seeing sights such as this. Another lifetime.
A lifetime of war. At home. In the field. Forests. Mountains. Years of death and fear that gripped him to the core left and right in his times fighting for the kingdom of Quel'Thalas in the height of trying to snuff out the empire he now currently stood in. Amani trolls were the enemy, and now he was standing here watching them show something he had never imagined he'd feel for them.
Pity? No. That's what the old life would have told him to feel now seeing the sight of a father comforting his grieving child. A child that he could have remembered from long ago, having to hold her and comfort at losses all around them. His own child.
No he didn't feel pity. He felt kinship. Empathy. They really were more a like than he could have ever imagined. More than he was ever taught too.
Tan'tilton, misbegotten son of the house Sprucesworn, turned away from the sight of the family but feeling ever painful arrows to the words in his back as he trudged from the Bluffs.
"No, small one-" the father whispered as he held his child. "Dat was what she hoped for."
Tan could only feel his shoulders slip farther hoping Gilly ever might think that of him.
