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 studied to become a proper cleric while Vondar retired to become a full time brewer. Bjorn received a Tankard of Plenty for his 30th birthday from Vondar and commissioned a Tankard of Sobriety shortly after. Simon, Rose, Dillion and Vondar pitched together for a Sentinel Shield for his 40th birthday. At age 45 he decided to stick around at the Sunpyrion Grand Cathedral of Pyria as a live in Priest. In late 996 AS he heard rumours about a group of adventurers on their way headed for the Desert of Desolation. After deciding that he wanted to travel and explore the world while his body could still handle it he was gifted a set of Peace-Silk Robes by Mathaera, now Prelate of the Grand Cathedral. He tagged along with the intrepid adventurers as they traveled to the Desert of Desolation.
