Biography

Early Life

Roland von Sturmweber, was born March 7, 1888 as Robyrt Taranis on the island of Galta; a trading post and mining town in the far off Eastern seas of Almaris. The exact date of his birth is unknown. His father Donal Taranis, and mother Maeve Taranis, are of mixed Waldenic descent. Their ancestors fled the mainland decades prior, establishing a company on the island. This company, the Taranis Mining Guild, provided a steady income for local workers and tradesmen.

At the age of 8, Roland began working in the charter office, helping his father with mundane tasks like custodial work. At age 12, he learned about all kinds of ores, their properties, and what alloys could be made. While not explicitly learning about blacksmithing, Roland did have a natural affinity around the forge. He didn't see the task as overwhelming, and aspired to become a smith one day. However, apprenticeship would have to wait, as the threat of privateers only grew ever more apparent. By the age of 16, Roland and his family actively supplied the defense of Galta, and even served as militia to repel attacks by pirates, mercenaries, and opportunists.

Roland decided, upon reaching the age of 26, to depart from Galta and reach Almaris in the hopes of making a new life for himself. Upon reaching the shores of Eastfleet, Roland was welcomed off the pier by Sigismond Varoche and Heinrik Sarkozic, Duke of Adria.
