Since @hellhoundmaggie asked, here's... THE BACKSTORY OF THESE TWO UNDER THE CUT >:)
fönn is a lossoth huntress who lives in a remote small village far in the north.
Norûk is a former orc slave who escaped servitude to the witch king in angmar.
-
Fönn and norûk first meet when he stepped into one of her traps meant for animals.
Already distrustful of him, she had her arrow pointed at him, ready to finish him of... until norûk is pleading for his life, he does not show any signs of aggression. He tells her he has no place to stay. He has lost count on how many days he's been on a run. She takes pity on him and lets him stay at home and treats him like family. However, she has to hide him from the rest of the village since they're afraid and hostile towards orcs! They would enjoy going on hunts and sharing meals together. Their bond would become stronger every day. Eventually, the village accepts him as well, and he no longer has to hide anymore.
One day norûk finds a ring of power, which promises he will become a high-ranking overlord if he returns to his master. He has always dreamed of being respected and feared by everyone since he was still a slave. He must choose between love (fönn) or power (witch king).
In the end, the ring corrupts him and leaves fönn in the middle of the night without telling her.
With ring's newly gained powers, he rises up through the ranks with ease! As the final test to get promoted to an overlord, to prove his loyalty to the witch king, he must slaughter the village that once welcomed him.
He does as he's told, except he couldn't bring himself to kill fönn!! He lets her go with the excuse that she'll act as a messenger who will tell everyone of the massacre.
Fönn has lost everything she's ever cared about. The village she's been living in all her life gets turned into a fortress for orc armies.
For months, she has to survive on her own as the armies are expanding. Heartbroken and filled with rage, she'd join talion, a man who leads an army against the witch king and his orcs.
