Personal history

Bjorn was born in the year 939ps in the temple of Sunpyrion to a woman whose name he never learned as she left him in the care of the temple.
He was raised by a priestess named Mathaera along with four other children Simon, Rose, Dillion and Andromeda.
He studied as an acolyte in the temple of his birth.
He befriended Vondar Stoutale the Dwarf adventurer and brewer of magical ale.
Some time later he fell in love with Genevieve a Tiefling Wizard Apprentice from Azoria.
One day Genevieve disappeared so Bjorn teamed up with Vondar to search for her.
They found Genevieve held captive by a Rawhn cult.
They attempted a rescue but where to late and Genevieve was sacrificed in ritual to create a shadow.
In the following conflict his eye was damaged and Vondar lost a leg but they survived.

Bjorn received a Tankard of Plenty for his 30th birthday from Vondar and commissioned a Tankard of Sobriety shortly after.
