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.
