#commander week

With a lack of understanding of the world around her, Titania was mostly raised by Trahearne, who taught her manners and basic life skills. Most of his lessons never stuck, but their bond grew very strong.

A norn of great pride with a heart of gold as large as he is, Braxxus spent his youth hunting with his father as his mother, a norn seamstress, stayed behind making clothing. His father instilled in him knowledge of the hunt. Don’t kill unless you have to, only for self defense or for food. All nature to live life in peace. His mother taught him about respect for others, always lend a helping hand, and protect those that need it. He took all these lessons to heart and vowed to fight those that would rather prey on the weak. It wasn’t a rare sight to see him in a moot throwing fists, knocking some poor rowdy fool to the floor. When the time came, he took part in the Great Hunt to earn the right to battle the giant ice wurm Issormir. While hunting for sport did weigh on him, he did end up winning the hunt and defeated Issormir. During the after celebration, the norn smith Beigarth approached Brax and a request to retrieve a special steel Beigarth need for a weapon he was forging. This sparked Brax’s interest in metal forging, and soon he became Beigarth’s student. He spent time forging armor and weapons for young norn so they could protect their homes from the Sons of Svanir and Jormag’s Icebrood. It wasn’t long before Brax was called to arms to help lead a coalition of Tyrian forces against the elder dragon Zhaitan and its hordes of Risen soldiers.

Tzurael and his twin, Caeshe, avoided drinking as much as possible thanks to an experience with the Nightmare Court when they were newly awakened saplings. It just leaves one too vulnerable when drinking in excess. However, after Joko’s defeat, Tzurael couldn’t say no to Canch’s invitation. He was stressed and needed a way to alleviate it and not to mention Canach said he was paying. As such, Tzurael’s inner turmoil was brought to the surface and his optimistic and strong-willed façade broke. It was a surprise to the older Sylvari since Tzurael always seemed to have himself well kept together but after seeing this, started to think otherwise. He brought Tzurael back to the quarters that Dragon’s Watch and the others were taking refuge in and was promptly yelled at by a belligerent Caeshe. Canach kept what he witnessed to himself but afterwards does try his best to alleviate some of Tzuraels’ burdens. 

She always has a kind heart, and never lets something sad, disappointing, or unfortunate get in her way. A Human ranger, With her pet Jacaranda; Wendy. Her sister was taken by centaurs, and her mom died when Elda was still very young. So with only her father left, she was quite lonely. Her family was not the richest in Kryta, but they had enough money for food. She was home schooled for very many years. Once she had learned everything basic, she moved on to bigger things, like hunting, archery, and anything that interested her. A few years later, Her dad died. Having nobody to care for her anymore, she had to care for herself, and fight to survive. After doing many things to prove her worthy, she made many allies and friends. Later, she was called up to help lead the force of the elder dragon Zhaitan. Although it was many years ago, the thought of her father and the rest of her family gone, lays something very, very dark inside her.

Tzurael obviously sees everyone in Dragon’s Watch his family and as such, always tries to find an excuse to give them gifts. No matter the reason. He sees Rytlock as a Father figure, Kas and Jory like his sisters/Aunts, Braham as a brother, Taimi a sister, and obviously Canach an older brother. He also has a podtwin, Caeshe, who he reconnected (physically and mentally) a year later and who became next in command if anything were to happen to him. 

However, if he does somehow allow himself some time to himself, he likes to doodle.

The second answer would be that there would always be heroes throughout Tyria’s history and there would be a time when they would encounter Glint and learn of Tzurael’s accomplishments for whatever reason. I imagine this as a way to help on their venture. And to help keep her father’s champion’s memory alive. More than likely the future heroes of Tyria would use this information as a way to instill confidence whenever they face something practically impossible. Nonetheless, Tzurael doesn’t really care about his legacy. He had his adventure, he has his fun, by himself and with friends, and that would be enough for him.
