Public Backstory Notes:
Orryn grew up an orphan, and was born a few decades after the city’s founding. He has devoted his life to the dojo and to the advancement of martial arts. He retains ties to the Orphanage of Serenrae, where he grew up, and encourages the young men and women who leave its doors to follow in his footsteps. Many members of the public who harbor antipathy towards the magical have come to train alongside Orryn and his instructors. He is also a frequent visitor to the library, often reading books on magic and the demonic.
