Being one of the newer recruits to Nox the stories of
the guild's origins are fascinating to me.
Thought I would kick in my own 2cp though =)
After many a season exploring strange other worlds, (/ooc
having gotten frustrated and quitting the game
for almost 2 years) Roshvarion returned to the lands
of Norrath. Twas around his 12th or 13th season
while hunting in the warrens of those hateful Blackburrow
gnolls that he made a fateful decision. This
he was not to discover until much later however. Upon
entering the warrens he spied some fellow
adventurers of whom the gnolls were taking much unfair
advantage and stopped to help. At the same moment
in time another Druid, the fair Asunawa, stopped to lend
aid as well. Not realizing it at the time his
future was about to be remarkably changed. Now Asunawa
already wore the banner of Nox, but this did not
enter our young Druid's mind at the time as being of
any importance.
After much converse and companionship in those dreadful
dark warrens, he receives a message from Asunawa
that she and a friend are in need of some assistance.
Trotting himself off to the green room, he finds
Asunawa sitting with this hulking Barbarian shaman by
the name of Lorlaor. Quickly joining in to help
eliminate the pesky elite guards found there they passed
several hours in good company. Deciding after
this time that the three need more challenge they decided
to upset the foul bandits of western Karana.
The three proceed to the plains and wrought wonderful
havoc amongst the ilk of the Circle of Unseen
Hands.
Again time passes, further cementing the friendship of
the three. Having spent a fruitless day wandering
the vast plains, Rosh receives a message from his good
friends telling him of the hideous monsters
allied to King Xorbb. Always being ready for a fight,
Roshvarion and Lorlaor head off to the lands of
the King to savage his evil minions. They proceed to
wreak the planned havoc and have a wonderful time
doing so. At some point in their sojourn Lorlaor is hailed
by the Golden Salenea. This lovely cleric,
also wearing the colors of Nox, quickly joins us in waylaying
the minotaurs of the gorge. Soon after
joined by Asunawa the fair and a most strangely garbed
mage named Ronsonal they spend quite some time
causing chaos and mayhem amongst the King's evil followers.
Well, this happy team along with serveral others spends
several seasons waylaying various nasty
critters, including a most hideous cyclops, and righting
wrongdoings. It is about this time, as
Roshvarion matures enough to start leaving his beloved
plains, that the impact of past decisions is made
obvious. Now, over some past time, the Golden Salenea
has queried Rosh on his thoughts about joining a
guild. Our admittedly slightly dense druid answers her
questions and thinks nothing more of them. Until
one day, wandering the southern plains and not having
seen his friends for some time, Salenea appears
once more and asks him to join his cause with that of
Nox. Somewhat stunned and at a loss for words, he
answers that yes, he would be glad to wear the colors
of Nox. And so it was written that Roshvarion was
henceforth a member of Nox Secuutus.
Of his adventures since that day, well that is another
story for another time... perhaps to be told
around a campfire under the stars some day...
