After leaving his family upon his step-father's death, Raknur managed to work as a mercenary with a guard outfit supporting a traveling merchant. It was by chance that this merchant brought his goods for sale, his sales companions and guards to the land of Rilara. In those lands Raknur heard spoken of a monestary on the shore of Io Lake of the Ledros Mountains. This monestary was said to be the balance of the elements of air, water, fire and earth. Raknur's following of Grannoch naturally inclined him to hold interest in the elements and their balance.
Raknur soon had enough coins in his pocket to break free from the mercenary work and seek out the monestary of "The Path of Elemental Balance" for himself. He knew deep down that this place did exist and that he would find his purpose in life in this way. It did not take long for him to find the shores of Io Lake.
Some time Raknur spent questioning of the locals, and offering prayers to Grannoch to be worthy of such service to the elements. One day a human in simple robes the color of crimson approached him. This male called himself Grandjurin and after speaking with Raknur the two traveled to the place Raknur sought. Raknur swore he had passed this very place twice before yet he did not see it for what it was.
After some prayer, reflection and questioning by some of the monestary staff, Raknur was asked to choose a path within the four choices of the Elemental Balance. Raknur slept on this decision for days and explored his own mind and spirit for the answer. Finally, he returned to Grandjurin and the others to announce that he was ready for the task to become an initiate of The Order of the Flame. For this order was most aligned to what Raknur sought and believed in. It was after several discussions and challenges that Raknur was accepted to enter into this order as an initiate.
Long he trained, many questions he asked, and much more he learned. Finally, Raknur was released into the world to see to the balance of the elements so as to hold true to the ways of the Path of Elemental Balance and The Order of the Flame.
