Character History:

Back when the world was young, when Gods before remembering roamed the heavens, and some Gods of today had yet to gaze upon the vastness of the realm, a noble elf was taking his first steps into a greater world of adventure. Rigel, accompanied by his good friends Roland and Elrandir set out to make a name for themselves.

Times were good, evil abounded to be crushed, huge expanses of wilderness lay open for exploration. Then a new star ascended into the firmament. Cerebus, Lord of the Court of Justice opened his arms to Rigel and his friends. They joined willingly and began to spread the word of our God with great zeal. They protected the innocent and punished the wicked.

However, early in this chapter of his life Rigel, met and fell in love with his fate. She came to help him in a time of need, and cared for his wounds with such tender compassion that he would be forever bound to her. After a long courtship and with the approval of her father, Clue and Rigel were married in the Holy Grove by Jerald. Rigel and Clue exchanged wedding bands hand crafted by the Gods for them alone and where forever more joined.

After many great adventures and years of wondering, Rigel became restless. He had seen many friends come and go. He had seen Gods raised up and Gods cast down. Cerebus had departed from the Realm on a mission unknown and Rigel pledged himself to a mortal come God he had known from birth, Lorna.

So life continued for a pace and things went well. Finally, after many more years, burdened with age, knowledge and loss, Rigel was once again deprived of spiritual guidance when Lorna was cast from heaven into the darkest of pits. Mustering all of his knowledge Rigel freed his soul from this realm to wander the strange ways beyond. Now many years later Rigel has returned to the realm and has been granted a new vigorous body. The world is once again new and times are good.
