Background

 Soretan was 15 years old and playing in the woods with his friends when the scourge led by Arthas marched trough Eversong Forest to reach the sunwell.

Soretan was on his way home when he spotted the huge army of undead marching towards the capital city of Silvermoon. He was afraid and climbed up in a tree, hiding there untill the threat was over. From the tree he saw something that touched him deeply, the rangers of Silvermoon who killed hundreds of the undeads before falling back again, only to start firing arrows at the invaders with a deadly precision, with no sign of fear on their faces.

When the armies had passed Soretans hide out he ran as fast as he could to his home, deep in his heart knowing what he was going to see.

When he reaches the house he only finds the remainings of it, that and his parents ripped to pieces, looking like something has been eating on them, there were also a lot of undead corpses and arrows. When he searched the surrounding he found a dead ranger.

After that he went to see his uncle, who was a retired ranger living in the forest. His uncle did not want to train him first, telling him that the life of a ranger isn't a happy life, but Soretan did not give up and finally his uncle accepted Soretan as his apprentice.

The following 10 years Soretan did nothing else than eated, slept and trained.

A few months ago his uncle died of old age and Soretan decided to visit Silvermoon city, where he has stayed so far, except the times he has taken a hunting trip to the woods.
