Hera's Minister Gorro, Hand of Deliena

    His birthdate is unknown but much talked about in the older brotherhoods of Terris. From what legend tells it was a cold day in the month of Deori's pleasure, when Gorro was born. His parents are known to be poor farmers living in a large field just outside of catfish near the Wyrm Spine Mountains.

    Gorro's parents were extremely poor and could no longer afford a son so they left Gorro on the doorstep to the temple of Kyria, immortal of fate. However, believed to be caused by his lack of birth parents his behavior was unheard of. He angered Kyria till she could no longer care for Gorro. He was left in the hands of of his own fate which he did not control.

    Because of his lack of money, lodge, and self respect He made his way into the guild of thieves looking for shelter. He did indeed kill a goblin for entrance. Although, his presence was despised among thieves and simple folk alike tis was the only way for young Gorro (only of 14 at this time) to make a living.

    He hated his life for what he had to do but it was necessary for his very existence, but thieves guild wasn't enough. He needed religious support as well as financial. He then dug his way into Lord of Shadows Kestanan's temple. A temple which he loved but was quickly cast from when the temple council heard of Gorro's acts to the lady Kyria. They were amazed.

    Lost, not knowing where to go he was living in a small cave in the outskirts of tranos just below the kobold's lair. He turned to Cleopatra who kindly accepted him despite his acts. She sheltered him and gave him the love Kyria tried to give that he wouldn't accept. However, Cleopatra's members grew jealous and disposed of him in the temple of mystery once and for all...He was thrown out by the same people who were jealous of him so many hours before.

    Once again he was out cold in that wet cave with no love, money, or shelter but a wet smelly cave. Till he met 'Lord Eternity, High Priest of Dreams'. Dazzled by the lord's grace he admired his cunning. He grew attached to Eternity and respected him. Eternity saw the sincerity in Gorro's eyes and realized all he needed was the kindness, faith, and patience of a great immortal, the 'lady Deliena, Mistress of Dreams'. He slowly got to know the temple members and for once felt loved in a world who hated him.

    Before he met Eternity he needed a profession He joined the Warlock's guild killing an ugly troll in his misery and frustration. The guild of the warlocks was a place he slowly grew to respect all though he did not want to be there. They say," Greed and Misery love company." Since Eternity (once they met) was a high member in the warlocks guild he for once grew a fascination in the black magics.

    It was a sad, yet happy joyful day when Eternity became the Hero of Light. Happy of Eternity's success but sad of Eternity's leaving he was confused. Someone needed to fill the boots of Eternity's old position of Dream's High Priest. The man whom Gorro befriended a while back got this position but Deliena felt Gorro needed reward for his Temple jobs (he wrote the original charter of dreams) ... (created the titles, that is write... if you are a member of the temple of dreams.... Gorro didn't write the charter and the titles...) ... (initiated most the followers that are still dreams members till this very day Including Raislin) ... and helped Deliena do her job. He became Hand of Deliena...Hera, Heroine of Dreams saw his changes as well and named him 'Hera's Minister Gorro, Hand of Deliena'.

    As dreams grew stronger and times changed Dreams needed a sacrifice...Deliena's power was slowly drifting away (she left for a while this is not including now that she is inactive, this was about 2 years ago from today, 7/24/98) as did Hera (computer problems). Dreams were were slowly fading from Terris and the Portal of Dreams and prophecy was losing energy and slowly closing...it needed just enough power to sustain dreams till m'lady could return. Casting his selfness behind him, he knew he had to do something. He threw himself into the great portal of prophecy, his soul giving off enough energy to keep the portal open for 1 more hour.Just as he threw himself in Deliena with a smile upon her crystal skin flew through the portal returning to the lands but it was too late, Gorro was erased from Terris, and followers of Deliena everywhere frowned at Gorro's absence but smiled at his dedication. Gorro always said, "Dreams are not blessed unless they are earned, then in which case you are held above the highest legends and renowned in your mind..." Maybe some of the smartest words of spoken but definitely not the last...
