The Village

The storm giant Puelvelol was born in a village near the storms of the Aryth Ocean. The village, a warlike village, always on the lookout for a hoarde of attacking fire giants, made sure that each young giant was trained in the use of weapons.

Keeping guildmasters in the village, each giant was sent to find which weapons they felt suited them most. Puelvelol found that those weapons he could most easily handle were swords, staves, and maces. Training with a shield, he became an unstoppable machine, always ready to spar against another giant to help them learn of the ways of the weapon.

Using his great strength, Puelvelol seemed to find that those who couldn't move very well when fighting were the easiest defeated. He went to the guildmaster of paladins there, asking to be taken on as an apprentice, to learn the ways of the shield paladin. The guildmaster accepted Puelvelol's request, teaching him to call upon the Celestial powers given to paladins to help them defend the righteous.

The Battle

Puelvelol's first battle came in the summer of his 120th year. Fire giants, with help of their drow allies, came and attacked the village. Puelvelol helped with some small healing, but eventually, the healing building was dangerously near being overrun. Puelvelol went out with a dull edged practice sword. He fought bravely until others could come to his aid, then collapsed upon the ground. When waking, he found that the village had been saved and he was a hero.

The village elders made him a honorary sergeant in the storm giant army. Given command of his own troops, he tried to protect the storm giants as well as possible....

Redemption

Duergar came to the village in Puelvelol's 130th year of life, and he fought against them, leading his troops straight to battle. A young duergar cried out to be saved, calling upon the name of a Celestial of Light. Puelvelol ordered his troops to take the duergar prisoner until it could be questioned to see if it was truthful. Against their sergeants orders, they tried to kill it. Puelvelol fought against them, making sure not to harm any, but was eventually overrun by the troops. The young duergar, possibly seeing true redemption, was executed.

Puelvelol was placed into jail custody. The village council, deciding that because of all Puelvelol had done for the village, should not be executed, exiled him. Puelvelol sought out many places, finally finding Galadon as his home. Taking a recommendation from his master in his own village, Puelvelol went to the guild of Paladins in Galadon and joined there to learn more of the art.
