History: He was born several months after his father was called into army service. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a large cave.

His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there. Arannis took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up morningstar and armor he uses now.
