Looking back, Jorann’s childhood and her early adult years are full of secrets that she wishes to bury, skeletons hidden that she never wants to see again. As much as she strives to hide her past, without it she wouldn’t have come to the
Yggdrasil Shrine and found her redemption. While she wishes to hide it from those around her, she must acknowledge it or she could never face her god.
As a
Chromatic Dragonkin, Jorann was tasked often with the killing of those that disagreed with the leaders of her tribe. Men, women, children, it mattered little to those that wished for nothing more than land and treasure to appease the
Green Dragon that called their area home. It was almost demeaning to serve the
Dragon like the
Lesser Dragonkin, but this was something she didn’t realize until much later. She served as she was her duty, never wavering until something made her leave her homeland.
A run in with a
Metallic Dragonkin made her question her place in her tribe. The amount of blood on her hands was sickening, enough to make her leave her home instead of participating in the vicious cycle she had known her entire life. She was left to wander
Vóreios, eventually finding herself in the cold reaches of the
Northern Outposts.
It was there she found her redemption through the man that was the caretaker of the shrine. Jorann found
Kallex, so different from the god
Xellak and the
Chromatic Dragons that her kind followed. There was a strength to be found in
Kallex, leadership and courage that she had never had. While it was odd to find a
Chromatic Dragon of any type following the god of the
Metallic Dragons, she reveled in it, making a place for herself in
Yllvalion.
Now she serves as the caretaker of the shrine, never judging or turning away those who need it most. The shrine she cares for is there for the followers of any of the gods, not just
Kallex,
Ygg, and the
Huntress that are commonly followed in the area. As long as Jorann lives, the shrine will be a place of salvation and redemption, ideas that need no specific god to help find.
Kallex and Xellak, hm? What a fraught past. I'm glad that she has been able to find redemption and a better calling.
