Description: Denethor is somewhat big being 6.3 feet big and muscular

since he has done hard work on a farm all his life and he is not very

History:

 

Den is the youngest child in the family with his twin sister only minutes older.

Their coming was totally unexpected since their parents were already

forties and their last daughter had come 10 years earlier. Denethor´s

father was filled with joy at getting a son to follow the family

tradition of being a soldier in the Shienaran army.

This was something of a family tradition since both Den's grandfather

and great grandfather had served in the army.

 

As result of this Den grew up with bedtime stories of Soldier life and

their duty to guard against the blight. But due to the father's age,

Den spent most time growing up helping with the farm to make ends meet

with little to no time to learn the skills of a soldier. This came to

affect Den wish to learn those skills strongly during his early teens

when their farm one night got unexpected visitors. The farm was

located about halfway between Fal moran and Fal Dara, thus as far away

from any aid either of them could give in case of attacks. Thus with

the constant threat of trollocs never far away, Deragon´s sword from

his soldier days was their first and foremost means of defense.

 

The strongest even that had affected Den happened on the twins

fifteenth year in life as they was sitting for dinner when a sudden

heavy knocking on the door disturbed the family. Deragon, despite his

age and the years since his soldiering days, quickly got up retrieving

his sword knowing few honest people traveled after sunset. Den himself

quickly retrieved the family's old wood chopping axe and moved up

beside his father as the knocking increased in force, shaking the door

and starting to shatter its lock. When the lock finally shattered it

wasn't trollocks outside but unshaved men, brigands out for easier

pickings at isolated farms as theirs. With the typical inexperience of

a youth, Den advanced quickly toward the door and the man swinging his

axe clumsily and missing.

 

Next thing the young man knew was hitting the opposite wall as the

brigand had kicked him away while facing the advancing Deragon, seeing

the old man was the greater threat.

That mistake had cost Denethor as he quickly had lost conscious in the

resulting fight despite his best attempts to come back to his father's

aid. Faint memories of a beautiful woman guarded by a big man

constantly guarding him remained the day after when he finally woke

up.

 

It was then that he had found out that Deragon had successfully held

of the brigands while an Aes Sedai had come to their aid. She and her

warder had spotted the bands of brigands as they where making their

way from Fal Moran to Fal Dara stalking the lonely farm in the dark.

Despite the fortune of the family, Den could never shake the feeling

of utterly helplessness and shame afterward with a burning wish that

he should have helped out. With a silent oath, Den had promised

himself that morning that he would never again let himself be that

helpless.

 

Despite that oath, he remained at the farm for another two years

before he got the chance to fulfill the oath. As the warder had taken

out three of the brigands single-handedly, Den had kept on talking

during that time that he wanted to go to the Tower to learn, feeling

that the White Tower seemed to hold all he wanted. This alone had

convinced Deragon that he couldn't keep his son at the farm much

longer. Thus on Den's seventeenth birthday, Deragon had given his

blessing and a recommendation from a friend in the army that Den was a

fit young man.

 

So on an early summer morning he left with Tar Valon as his

destination, walking or riding with wagons toward his dream.

 

The journey hadn't been easy but after weeks of traveling, Denethor

finally saw the towers of Tar Valon as the sun slowly began to go

down. Having seen the city of Far Moran during his journey, he thought

he knew cities but the sight of the city was beyond anything he had

ever imagined. Feeling awe Denethor slowly entered the city, making

his way to the Tower. Upon entering the Tower ground Denethor quickly

got directed by the Tower Guards at the gate to the Tower Trainee

barracks were he could make his request to join the Warders.

 

Tar Valon – To become a Warder

(Past events at a RP during 2001)

 

Denenthor's time in the Tower was golden time for him, learning the

use of weapons and meeting like minded friends among the trainees. But

with his time spent training, enjoying friends or spending penance for

all the pranks time moved quickly.

 

With his training almost finished Den at last got the chance for his

fist adventure, to follow his mentor Ivar Gaidin and fellow mentee

Lewin on an expedition to his homeland.

It was in Shienara where Denethor came to meet his future bondholder

Reile Aes Sedai of blue Ajah. Due to a serious of unexpected events

involving a prank and a chase thru the citadel of Far Moran among

things Den came to know and respect her.

 

It was shortly after these events, in the Citadel of Far Moran that

Denethor was finally raised to full warders, tested by Ivar, Shoar and

Radzynne Gaidin. Not long afterward, Den and Reile was bonded as

warder and Aes Sedai.

 

Shienara – Present day

 

The hot humid air stank up this close to the blight, but Denethor

didn't mind much as his eyes scanned the horizon around him, his eyes

bleak as they kept on searching for any sign moment. Almost had year

had passed with that even that had changed everything, the day the

bond had broken between him and his Aes Sedai.

 

The warders cloths was dirty and worn out, his stead tired and he

himself had a worn out look as if he hadn't sleep for days. But

nothing of that was of any matter, only the hunt mattered now, to find

some answers of what had happened that day one year past.

 

He could still remember how he had woken up, lying in the water at the

beach of the river in southern Shienara and the absence of the bond

pulsing in his head. For a year it had eaten at him, the fact that no

memories remained of what had happened, only that it had happened and

his bondholder had been missing ever since. It was this event that had

driven him north this close to the blight in his search, but also in

his need to release all the feelings inside him. And now that feeling

was more his keeper, as only fighting up here made him feel any

semblance to being alive again, and that only momentarily before a

bleak world closed in on him again.
