History:
Rorek had been in the woods for two weeks getting to know the lay of the land but it was time now to venture into the city and get acquainted with the realm's people, and what better place for that than its streets and local pubs? So it was the fairly young, native american looking man with the earth toned skin and long silvery-blue hair, doused his camp's fire, pulled his long steely blue hair back and braided it into a single pony braid, weaving and securing it with a long length of agate beaded leather lace, then after saddling his coffee dapple horse, he swept his long, dark grey cloak around his shoulders, picked up his leather pack, mounted up and set off for the city.

It was half a day's ride to the city once he met the dirt road in the forest which was a two hour ride from his camp. The camp site along with his tent in that little clearing by the creek he had chosen was veiled in shadows by Lore, his people's word for the enchantment of items, surfaces (including flesh) and scrolls through scribed sigils and ritual practices.

If an uninvited vistor came upon his camp it would not reveal itself as it was phased into the realm of shadows by the lore there that was likewise hidden. It was scribed into smooth stones placed around the camp perimeter that were likewise veiled by the shadow realm. The area would simply appear unused. If it was discovered there was little to take; a canvas tent, bedroll of furs, canteen, various food items, a few camp tools, rope, and some camp cookware and dishes all neatly stowed. Rorek kept a nice camp.

At length Rorek left the dirt road behind for a paved road which he guided his horse along the shoulder of, avoiding any highways. His horse was well trained and was not bothered by cars or loud motorcycles, the later of which Rorek owned, a vintage Indian motorcycle. He opted to ride his horse Khola for this journey nevertheless, resting the calm hearted stallion periodically to let him graze off the side of the road or drink for clean streams.

By evening the animals leather booted hooves could be heard clopping down the streets of Rhydin, Rorek sitting relaxed on his back like he was born to a horse, which he very much wasn't. Rorek had to work hard at getting his horses to trust him (horses hated snakes, especially poisonous ones) and raising horses in Acheron's cavernous wilds and metropolises was equally as challenging. Rorek had fallen in love with the first horse he met and there was no stopping him from raising his own herd after that. Now they were all mature and well trained he wanted to bring them out of Acheron and to a ranch of his own and he chose RhyDin. Why? He liked what he had heard about it and did some research that sealed his decision. But horses were expensive and he needed to find a good paying job. He had enough money from several tours of military service to purchase some land and pay the bills for awhile, but he needed steady income so finding a trade or employment was high on his list.

So there Rorek was riding his coffee dappled blonde maned overo paint horse down the street looking over the business facades he rode past in search of a pub or inn that struck his fancy. He was thirsty too and could do with a drink as could his horse who loved beer, lager especially, a sentiment Rorek shared. And so his story as it was in RhyDin began...



History II:

After getting a job at the Howling Den and meeting his sister, Rorek had camped for the night, seen to his horse, then risen early the following day to set out farm hunting. Land in RhyDin it turned out was scarce. People valued it more than all else short of family and sometimes even more than familial ties. After two weeks of searching he hadn't found anyone willing to sell, until... he ventured far and even beyond the known wilderness of the Deep Wilds. Rorek wasnt even certain he was in the realm of Rhydin anymore. It was in a quaint little backwater vinyard town in a mountain valley that he saw a small hand written flyer posted in a general goods store. The flyer read: Farm for Sale, See Owner, Rockshire Chateau. Rorek took the flyer down, folded it up neatly and tucked it into his pocket. He bought a soda, asked for directions to the chateau, and rode his coffee dapple overo Khola north along the roads to the impressive chateau. The Orchard Rock estate's half timbered, Tudor style castle was a real beaut outside and in.

Rorek showed the servant who answered the door the flyer and announced that he was there to inquire about the property. He got the feeling the farm's value was going to be way over his head but it never hurt to find out. He was invited in and shown to the dining hall where the servant left him and an exquisite smelling knight met him in her place. The knight, clearly a Tsetar by his scent, sat down with him and asked him a hundred questions, clearly vetting him. Rorek answered with nothing but the honest truth. He had emptied three cups of excellent coffee and a glass of ice water before the owner joined them. The owner, who was also Tsetar it happened, informed Rorek that he owned the entire mountain range, its valley, its foothills and the lowlands around the region. His land was no man's land, it bordered Rhydin's wilds but lay beyond it, it wasn't a part of Rhydin. All kinds of people resided in the Kingdom's towns of Vineshire (the town that was part of his estate), Borderwatch, Barrier and Ferryshire, and worked the kingdom's farms and businesses. Vineshire was a tight knit community that looked out for each other but new faces were always welcome once they passed muster with the Sovereign of Stonemere, his kingdom. After a rather lengthy review Sovereign Colter asked Rorek what his budget was and when the human looking demon confided how much he could shell out the scion of celestials nodded his head thoughtfully then finished his coffee and stood. "A substantial figure." he stated conscientiously. "Allow me to show you the farm," he then beckoned.

It wasn't Vineshire he ushered Rorek to but Ferryshire via a planar air gate. When they stepped out it was on a thick greensward of soft grass, new grass. At first sight the horsefarm was breathtaking. The valley, the river running through it and the mountains closing the broad swath
of land in was incredible but on closer inspection of the he homestead portion all the buildings, made of cobb and stone, were in serious disrepair. On the plus side Cobb structures were easy to restore. When Rorek asked what happened to the farm the Sovereign told him simply that the owners got too old to work it and had no heirs interested in farming.

After the tour of the thousand acre farm was complete Rorek turned and faced Colter. "I love this property but I can't afford it," he informed him speaking plainly.

Colter chuckled, his green eyes shining on Rorek. "How can you know that when I haven't told you the price? I have a good feeling about you, Rorek. I think you will do very well here. Your purse will cover the farm as long as you can guarantee that you will be a vigilant and dedicated caretaker to YOUR land, contribute what you can to your local food bank, and swear you will make no trouble for your neighbors. You agree to these terms, pay me what you declared as your budget and I will sign the deed over to you. You must also promise me first choice of the foals, calves, and lambs born to your breeding stock. Those you plan to sell to be clear. What say you?" Colter extended his hand.

Rorek smiled and shook it. " We have an accord then," his smile brightening.

Colter returned the shake and nodded his head. "Good. I will draw up our contract and you may sign it with the deed."

And that was how Rorek bought his farm. Now he was on his way to Rhydin to share the good news with his sister.

Rorek rolled into Gillette's shop with a chime of those faery bells hanging on the door and loped up to her where she sat to take the chair across from her. "Afternoon, Sister. How has your week been?" he asked sounding chipper.
