Rasputin

The Start (October 2009)

A wanderer and a free thinker, Rasputin arrived in Mol Rehan sometime shortly after the millenium. He was not seen for a long time and was believed to be residing in the deep south. For a while he lived in peace, slowly buidling up his small home far from civilisation. Rasputin happily spent his time tending crops, working at his forge and practicing with his carving knife to produce many fine items of furniture and goods. Life was simple but good. The occasional passing visitor would bring the latest news from the major towns to the North but apart from that everything was peaceful and quiet.

It didn't last. The collapse of the Non Agression Pact (NAP) between the armies of Mol Rehan and the Horde brought war. Rasputin would frequently receive harrasment from passing Blacklight raiding parties and it soon became clear that his little farm on the tip of the penninsula was too vunerable to be defended. With tears in his eyes, Rasputin loaded his small sailing boat with as many possessions as possible and regretfully sailed north for safety.

Azjherbeniex Skitchdouze (March 2010)

Having returned north, Rasputin found that things had changed a lot during the BL War. Most of Mol Rehan's citizens had abandoned the area to form a new capital on the steppe called House of Mol Rehan (HOM). Not being particularly fond of large cities, Rasputin befriended an excentric fellow by the name of Azjherben and agreed to assist him in building up his village.

Skitchdouze at first consisted of just a few wooden structures and a basic farm. The village rapidly grew however and soon began to represent to city that it's founder wanted it to represent. Rasputin, full of tales of BL armies, soon set about the construction of inner walls and gatehouses to ensure the future security of the town.
