Background: Aorong was raised by his mother's people, a long-lived group of 'high men' who live in a mythical hidden valley in the west. His mother wandered for a time and spent a summer with Man Xun -- he is Aorong's father, though the two only met recently.
Aorong lived a somewhat troubled life with his mother's people -- he excelled in classes and swordplay, and children are rare in that long-lived people, but his mixed-blood status caused him much difficulty, and he finally took him mother's advice to travel abroad -- perhaps even visiting his father before the old man died. (Man Xun is in his eighties, and while he fathered Aorong when a young warrior, his son looks to be only in his twenties.)
Aorong has come to Xian Quan and found a place where he is almost a god among men -- taller, more handsome, skilled in word and deed -- he has decided he wants to stay in his father's world and make a place for himself. An appropriately noble place, that is.
