Early Life
Ryker was born in the city of Salosa during the reign of the Shadow Tyrant. He was the only son of a cartwright who planned for Ryker to apprentice under him. However, a patrol from the orc garrison in Salosa burned down his father's shop in 1369 DR, pushing Ryker towards a growing resistance movement.
In 1373 DR, Ryker met with members of Salosa's resistance, who in reality did little more than complain about the Shadow Tyrant and his orc army. After a year of meetings without action, Ryker began to travel the area looking for more active resistance groups.
In Yahill, he found a group who poisoned water supplies used by the orcs. He found a group in Fystead who actively skirmished with the orcs (which subsequently led to the areas north of the River Fye to be free from orc patrols). In Heapool, he found pirates who openly raided orc ships and coastal encampments. These groups had people of the right spirit, but they needed someone to bring them together.
