Childhood Phinneas Bassenthwaite was raised in Westfall by a middle class family who'd owned land in the area and were friendly to the nearby humans. His father was a paladin and from an early age, he was taught the ways of the sword and the Light. His mother, a quiet and often sickly woman, held no profession other than that of wife and mother though she spent much of her time walking in Elwynn or further afield, collecting wild flowers and herbs and making a variety of potions and ointments.
