Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born to a military famliy there was little doubt that Orryn would join the army. However, although trained from an early age, Orryn showed little aptitude for traditional equipment and seemed completely unable to master the discipline required to fight as part of a square. Rather than practicing he much preferred being out exploring tunnels, or sneaking off to the surface. Fortunately for him after his parents realised that trying to rein him in was an exercise in futility they began encouraging him to explore more and tell them what he had found.
Orryn's father, Sturly, had been a squed and recognised the sort of skills that scouts normally possess. After encouraging Orryn to explore more and report back, Sturly began questioning Orryn after each excursion, getting Orryn to focus on the details that would be useful to the commander of a force. When Orryn was old enough to join the army he was immediately placed with the scouts and it wasn't long before he was trusted to be sent alone.
Orryn served for almost 50 years before he started to get bored. In his time with the army he felt that he had scouted every pass and cave near the Magrannor Halls and there didn't seem much prospect of getting to go further afield. Feeling that his duty to family and clan had been discharged, Orryn decided that what he wanted to do was begin exploring the regions that hadn't been visited since the years of darkness.
In order to retain some respectability Orryn made an agreement with the army to provide them with reports on what he found, becoming a freelance scout. In order to avoid getting too many questions about why he always wanted to be out exploring he also decided to come up with some solid goal that other people could understand. After doing a bit of research he decided on trying to locate the lost town of Bophar. It was situated in a place he wanted to explore and it was unlikely he would ever find it so he wouldn't need to find a new goal until he grew tired of exploring.
Orryn spent a century exploring the Savage Lands before he began to feel that he was getting to the point where he couldn't keep up his travels anymore. In that time he had written many journals of his travels and provided invaluable intel to the army about potential threats. For the look of things Orryn decided to go on one final expedition to make a last attempt to locate Bophar. He never returned.
