Ok this is Polerand's history and yes redundancy is an art form to be mastered. Now to Polerand's history. :)

    My father, Polerand Alferar Sr., was one of the best weapon smith's of all the world and a skilled swordsman. His father, Jun'lao Alferar, was also a weaponsmith, famous for his pole weapons, and that is how he named his son, Polerand. I was named after my father, and his great love of the same pole weapons. My 6 brothers were also named after weapons that my father made, but I shall keep their names silent for now, just know that they are one of each race. My father liked women of all kind and that's the reason my brothers are from different races giving me a very unique perspective allowing me to love all races although halflings get on my nerves every once in awhile for always getting in my way and I'm always up for a game of toss the dwarf. My father didn't like the Emperor Mobious or his Dark Sentinels. He thought that they would endanger my brothers lives and my own and he helped the resistance by selling them his weapons at half price and fighting in their army. I was but a young lad when all of this was going on and didn't know a thing about my father's weapons. They were blessed by the gods and increased the person who held one's abilities by two folds. Why? I'm not sure. Were they before he fought against the Emperor? I don't know eitherŠWhen Mobious started attacking our towns my father taught me how to use all of his weapons but my skills were best with the pole although they were little anyway. After noticing I wasn't a great fighter right off, I became a healer like my Thoom brother.
   After many years of fighting the Alferar clan became known for their incredible abilities at their respective professions. This angered and frightened the paranoid Emperor and he sent his Dark Sentinels to our lovely town of Mountain Reach, a more liberal town allowing families like ours to live in peace. His Sentinels reeked havoc all over until our family stepped out prepared for battle. We healed, fought, and fled many times. We actually took out a few of his Sentinels, but that was covered up by the Emperor fearing that this would give hope to the resistance. My father supposedly found a soft spot, but perhaps it was the gods again...or perhaps I am filling in gaps of memory loss from my younger years.
   After our defeat at Mountain Reach the Emperor was upset with us and placed us all in different locations around the world; my father was sent to Puddleby. My brothers and I finally got back to Mountain's Reach which had now became a township for the newly arrived Ghorak Zo's, but they let us in due to my youngest brother, a Zo.
   We returned to our house to find nothing there. Our care-taker, whom we all affectionatly called mother, had been taken away and what was done with her we still do not know. One of the many things she taught me before her disappearance was to be meek. I know that I'm not at all times and am easily provoked to anger like the rest of my family but because of her I have some control although it may be small at that.
   My Sylvan brother came up with the plan. He decided that we should sneak up to one of the two Sentinels in the town and kill it like our father showed had. Then after that we would have the Zo revolt a little by telling them this town was once an ancient burial ground. Our Human brother thought that it was too risky to take down a Sentinel without our father, and so we decided to skip to the latter part of the plan. Once they wer informed, they seemed to care little, so we told them the Sylvan rumours of the Undine, and they were enraged at the Mad One for placing them on such a place. They rampaged through the town, destroying liknesses of the Emperor and attacking the Sentinels as well. Many of them are now in Puddleby along with us, but wish for their names to remain silent.
   After we had left, we decided to sail south of the mainland in attempts at finding ourfather, when a storm hit us and blew us much further south than we had anticipated sending us to the acursed "Asylum." We left as fast as we could, picking up some poor souls on the way out and went to another island covered with only the hidoues Undine and the vile Darshak Pirates. We left as hastily as we could before picking up some weapons to replace our father's that were stolen by the Emperor, when we finally got to Puddleby where I planned to pick up my father, but our boat was destroyed by the Sentinel in the town. We seemed to have lost much of our strength after our visit to the Asylum, yet we grow stronger every day
    In Puddleby I have met many friends from many different races, backgrounds, and alignments. The most joyous of the new meetings was that of finding my sister, whom I did not know existed, Allison. It seems that before my father was sent to Puddleby he met a lovely human woman, Allison's mother. After my father was sent exiled and after our ship landed at Puddleby, Allson was born. She was raised and named by her mother, and that is most likely for the better. After her mother informed her of her father and our families past dealings with the Emperor, she bacame one of his most vocal enemies. The Emperor decided to have her immeadiatly exiled when he found out she was an Alferar. She came into our town scared and alone and I had no idea who she was but she apparently knew me. After we talked I took her in and helped her get on her feet. She is no doubtedly an Alferar and also swears revenge.
