Ashenvale:
I was born in Arathi Highlands, my father and mother fled during the Third War. During my early childhood I used to help my father in his workshop, he was a carpenter. My father was not a great warrior, he was gifted with his hands in other ways, construction and building were his thing. My mother used to tell me tales about the Alliance. I adored king Varian Wrynn ever since I was a child. Mom used to tell me all sort of tales about the Alliance's heroes. I remember when Varian visited our refuge, it was after Theramore was bombed with a mana bomb. Varian requested my dad to help with rebuilding Theramore anew. Anduin accompanied him as well, I envied him for having Varian as his dad. Occasionally I wished my dad was a warrior too. I asked Varian if I could join his Royal Guards, but he laughed and said maybe when I'll grow older.
When I seven years old we moved to Dustwallow Marsh beginning the reconstruction of Theramore. Garrosh did not make our work any easy, it was quite redundant and tiring. My dad built a practice target for me to practice with wooden swords, but I forged my own sword. Growing up to a carpenter you acquire basic crafting skills. I crafted that sword for weeks and I carried it with me everywhere, I named it Ignaeus after the General of Thoradin. When I was nine years old, a lady with white hair payed us a visit, I discovered later on it was Jaina Proudmoore. Jaina is a beautiful woman, when I initially saw her my feet just ran towards her. "Hey, I'm Beowulf. Who are you?" Jaina looked at me with a such grieving face, that it ached my heart, so I ran to my mom and started to cry. Mom told me that Theramore is Jaina's home and she had lost many people she loved. This memory is now my reality.
After the war began between the Horde and the Alliance, we made an attempt to escape from Theramore and run to Teldrassil. We rested in Ashenvale Forest, in an elven campsite, but the Horde had reached Ashenvale with thier great army and butchered everyone. Now I'm holding Ignaeus tightly, as It's the last thing I have left.
