Chapter 4

Lanning WaveStrider was born to a religious clan of giants from
the stormy Western Aryth. Long faithful followers or their gods,
most went into the priesthood. Lanning was not cut out for the cloistered life.
His itch to travel the waves and even onto the firmlands,
had branded him unusual, even in a clan of zealots.
His faith was no less strong, if of a different vein than most.
Lanning believed in the old ways, the primitive gods called the Ancients
by modern tongues. He long wished for a simple, more basic existence than
commonly found, even among the waves where simplicity was a virtue.
Not having even a name of the Ancients that he felt a calling to,
Lanning followed the spirit of the storms and worshipped the ancient power they held.
And so he cast off the more refined training of the cloistered or the
the discipline of the warrior, to relish the simple savagery of the storms
and the power they held to bring right all that had long since gone wrong.
