| - Born the youngest of twins, after the end of the second war. Orophen was raised as a tradesman with his father, trying his best at leather-working to work in the family business. It was a relatively simple life, free of the horrors of war that his father and mother lived through for quite some time. The closest thing to war he had experienced was the Orc invasion of Stratholme to free an elderly orc that had been sentenced to death. Lives were lost, but he was grateful that his family had survived the ordeal. Even so, he blamed The Light and the Order of the Silver Hand for the incident, citing Tirion Fordring's betrayal as the source of the incident. Orophen's mistrust for those that wield the light would fester, but remain unknown to even him for several more years. Image:OroOld.jpg At roughly the age of eighteen, Orophen's life was changed forever. While out in the nearby forest with his sister, Amerlinn, they were preparing materials for the coming days of work and food. The two were working to trap local animals for their furs and leather when they were found by an irritated Dwarven Paladin. An argument followed as he quickly rushed the two to the horse they shared, and tethered the horse to his own. The trio then headed south, towards Tarren Mill. It was during this long, treacherous journey that Orophen and his sister learned the fate of Stratholme. The dwarf was to follow the young Prince Arthas and aid in gathering the civilians, only to make sure they were purged of the disease of un death that was spreading so quickly. The dwarf, Magnium, named after his king, renounced his faith, and swore an oath to the twins to at least get them to the safety of Iron Forge. Orophen, nor his sister, ever fought during the third war, at least not in the battles that counted. Several times they found themselves fighting the undead, narrowly escaping death. Always, Magnium was at their side, leading them to safety. He helped them find residence in the Kingdom of Stormwind, while masking their history and connections to the city of Stratholme. It made residents uneasy amidst the rumors that the city still burned even so many months after its destruction. At the end of the third war, and the relative peace that followed, Orophen vowed to uncover the truth behind Stratholme; to know why his home was lost. He and his sister sought vengeance, each in their own way. Amerlinn's aggressive tendencies quickly found her a home among allies that made even Orophen uncomfortable: the Warlocks. He, however, found comfort behind the poisoned blade of a dagger. While not a master at his craft, he was good enough to return home, to what was now called The Eastern Plaguelands. With the help of his sister and their allies Magnium and the old wizard, Shiven, these four were able to defend themselves as they scoured the burning streets of Stratholme. What they found inside would leave Orophen wounded forever. With their home used as an anchor of sorts for the Lich King's army in the Eastern Kingdoms, the party of adventurers was forced to retreat. This moment was a defining one for Orophen, swearing his vengeance before his trio of friends. His abhorrence of The Light had become grossly apparent and his desperation for the heart of Arthas even more so. Unknown to him, Magnium and Shiven had agreed that unless absolutely necessary, the twins were to never return to the Eastern Plaguelands. Shortly after, they returned to Stormwind, but their adventuring party was hindered with Shiven's disappearance. A note was left from Shiven, announcing only that incredibly magics were at use and that something had to be done. They were instructed not to search for Shiven, as he would likely never be seen again. The three friends agreed not to let their ally face these events alone, and headed for the most magical location they knew of: Karazhan.
