Being born a Frostborn does have some advantages. It also has major draw backs, mainly being despised by almost everyone. With the constant feeling of being an outsider, Corbin left his home when he was in his late teens. He almost immediately fell in with a bad crowd, a very bad crowd. He was recruited by a cult of Thrym made up exclusively of Frostborn. Finally feeling accepted, Corbin was devout to the cult, Thrym, and the cult’s charismatic leader, Glacier. It was also here that Corbin made his first true friend, a Frostborn named Gregor.

After several years of being a low level initiate, Corbin had learned enough that he was ready to gain full membership to the group. He and Gregor were to take their final oaths and trials together. The night of the ceremony, Corbin witnessed a few of the brothers bringing in prisoners. This was something that was not extremely unusual, but what did stand out to Corbin was that they were not the typical adventure types. They looked like peasants. Corbin was able to gather the truth from a few of the brothers who had consumed too much ale. These prisoners were peasants from Corbin’s village. Glacier had decided that the cult needed to purge the locals from the land in the name of Thrym. Worse, Gregor and he were to execute the captives that night as their last rite of passage. Corbin felt that he could not let these innocent people be slaughtered. Believing his friend to be of like mind as him, Corbin informed Gregor about the rite that was to happen that night. Gregor was horrified, and together they hatched a plan to try and save the prisoners. Gregor created a distraction using magic while Corbin snuck to the prisoners and set them free. The two looked like they had succeed until they ran into Glacier on their way out. The two friends tried to hold off the cult and allow the villagers to escape. Many of the prisoners did make it and there were more than a few casualties. Gregor told Corbin to fall back and protect the villagers, so he did. What he did not know was that the wizard was going to cause a cave in to stop the cult. Corbin turned around at the last moment to see his friend bringing down the ceiling of the cult’s cave as Glacier struck at him.

Corbin led the group to a road where the group ran into a group of Roadwardens. The leader of the wardens named Payne ordered his men to attend to the villagers and Corbin. Corbin told his story and was patched up by the group. The villagers returned home, and Corbin stayed with the Roadwardens to help protect more people from groups like the one he was a part of. Corbin is always vigilant that the remnant of the cult or other priest of Thrym could show up at any moment to dispatch him for his crimes against Thrym.
