'''Lore:''' Cyrano hails from the Hawkbeak tribe that resides on the Isle of Wind and Bone, which lies far to the west. Born of Ralee Strong-Song and Kamarie Loud-Screech, Cyrano was the youngest and smallest of three hatchlings. Since Cyrano was the third hatchling he was forced to labor for his people and did so for the first years of his life. For a time Cyrano lived in ignorance, believing that his servitude would truly aid in the return of Okah. However as the years passed Cyrano had come to see the truth. Corruption, greed, and cruelty rotted the land and it became apparent to him that the leaders of his people had no intention of restoring the land to its former lush glory. Instead they supported a culture of war for gain. It was only after a fierce war with the Talons over valuable farm land did Cyrano realize, that there was no salvation for this hellish isle. Okah had forsaken the isle and all those who remained upon it to extinction. | '''Lore:''' Cyrano hails from the Hawkbeak tribe that resides on the Isle of Wind and Bone, which lies far to the west.

| − | Cyrano's fortunes changed when the Isle of Wind and Bone was visited by a strange dragon-prowed ship filled with bearded humans wielding snow-white steel weapons. Their leader was [[Sigurd]] Amundson. Sigurd traded furs and other goods to the birdpeople and feasted with them. After Sigurd had learned enough of the Isle to satisfy his curiosity he began to make plans to leave. Plans that his hosts did not intend to see finished. Seeing this as an opportunity to escape the isle, Cyrano slipped away and warned Sigurd about the impending ambush. Sigurd had never intended to leave the Isle in peace. That night, with Cyrano among them, they attacked the birdpeople with fire and steel. Vicious blows were dealt on both sides. Cyrano was branded a traitor and, during the fray, met Rylee on the field of battle. A seething hatred flowed from both brothers. Rylee believed that this traitorous act was a reincarnation of the original treason made by Pel Sharpbeak. He believed that this one act made by his brother would condemn the isle once and for all, for his eyes were cloud by a life of corruption. To Cyrano, Rylee and the firstborn were the reason for the destruction of the island. The firstborn abused the dying land beyond repair and condemned the isle. As the two faced each other, they were no longer brothers. With spear, beak, and claw they fought. Cyrano knew Rylee had the upper hand but Cyrano's resolve never faltered. As they clashed Cyrano began to give ground, slowly at first, but soon it seemed as though he was all but defeated. Summoning up the last reserves of strength he had left, Cyrano swung downwards with the wooden shaft of his spear, aiming to shatter Rylee's skull. Rylee was well trained and saw the attack coming and so raised his arm to block the attack. Mid-blow, Cyrano lunged at Rylee. Caught off guard, his elder brother could do nothing as Cyrano plunged his beak into his chest, tearing his heart out. As his vision began to fade, the last thing Rylee saw was his heart, clenched between Cyrano's jaws. Cyrano watched his brother crumple to the ground, he realized what he had become a warrior and a member of the first caste. The battle was quick as Sigurd's crew hacked the birdpeople down with superior weapons and brute force. In the end they only suffered minor wounds. Sigurd spared Cyrano and set sail immediately. The [[Norsemen]] circled the Isle and raided incandescently for a fortnight filling their war chests with loot before leaving the Isle for good. | + | Cyrano's fortunes changed when the Isle of Wind and Bone was visited by a strange dragon-prowed ship filled with bearded humans wielding snow-white steel weapons.

Cyrano knew what he had to do, he needed to obtain wood. Leaving the Water-riders Cyrano set out for the last remaining forest. When he arrived, he was greeted by a tribe known as the Broad-Wings. Cyrano observed that these Bird-folk were on average smaller than him, but much more nimble. These bird-folk were very suspicious of Cyrano's presence and rarely took their gaze away from him.

Realm: Tir Asleen
Unit: None
Other Affiliations: None
About: Cyrano started fighting during the recruitment boom of 2013 in Tir Asleen. He had a few names before settling on Cyrano (a famous duelist known for a hawkishly large nose). Much to the suprise and aw of the veterans of TA, Cyrano developed a new race complete with lore and garb by his first event (Octoberfest 2013) and owned it.
Lore: Cyrano hails from the Hawkbeak tribe that resides on the Isle of Wind and Bone, which lies far to the west. Born of Ralee Strong-Song and Kamarie Loud-Screech, Cyrano was the youngest and smallest of three hatchlings. Since Cyrano was the third hatchling he was forced to labor for his people and did so for the first years of his life. For a time Cyrano lived in ignorance, believing that his servitude would truly aid in the return of Okah. However as the years passed Cyrano had come to see the truth. Corruption, greed, and cruelty rotted the land and it became apparent to him that the leaders of his people had no intention of restoring the land to its former lush glory. Instead they supported a culture of war for gain. It was only after a fierce war with the Talons over valuable farm land did Cyrano realize, that there was no salvation for this hellish isle. Okah had forsaken the isle and all those who remained upon it to extinction.
Cyrano's fortunes changed when the Isle of Wind and Bone was visited by a strange dragon-prowed ship filled with bearded humans wielding snow-white steel weapons. Their leader was Sigurd Amundson. Sigurd traded furs and other goods to the birdpeople and feasted with them. After Sigurd had learned enough of the Isle to satisfy his curiosity he began to make plans to leave.
