There were once a pair of men whose names were not yet known. Dressed in heavy cloth and carrying with him a long guitar, was a man known simply as Haddal Valrahan. Beside him was a proud fighter, and an even prouder lover, who referred to himself as Rolan Haadway. Born to different clans and under different days and years, they roamed the land in search of one day achieving widespread fame.

Haddal yearned for his music to be heard, yet none would stand long to allow him the chance.

Rolan wished for the crowds to chant his name, yet none would bother to remember it.

For years they'd roam, unaware of each other until that fateful day when they chanced to save a monk from bandits. Rolan fought hard, but he wouldn't fight his hardest until Haddal inspired him with his music. Haddal played his best, but created a memorable tune once he caught sight of Rolan fighting. Together they accomplished a task best fit for 20 men, and so the saved monk was awe-struck. As thanks, the monk gifted them a clay urn - almost weightless, but promised to bestow upon them a charm that would fulfill both their wishes, so long as they continue to show that same friendship that won them the day.

Both men agreed without hesitation, but not before they swore an oath.

Upon the clay urn, and in recognition of their newfound friendship, they promised:

Though born to different clans, they shall live together to the very end. Though born on different time, they shall die together on the same days. Then until that fateful day, they shall forever continue their brotherhood.

Their oaths made, and the urn taken, the two men felt renewed and continued on their travels - ready to be remembered across the lands.

From village to village, keep to keep, the two entertained gloriously.

Rolan lifted the strongest and showcased movements that some say shook the earth for all to see it.

Haddal strummed his guitar, creating music that uplifted even the sorriest hearts, and made drinks all the sweetest.

Their nights wouldn't truly end however, until their ultimate feat was performed before the audiences. In a ring of fire, with both men center, Rolan lifted Haddal as he played - all before achieving a most glorious fire dance. To the strums of Haddal's guitar, with themes proud and strong, Rolan would move strong and confidant. Their movements and themes were so wild and powerful, it was as if the fire was erupting and dancing alongside them, thereby creating a magnificent string of reds, golds, and ambers that painted the dark blue skies. All this while the urn they swore their friendship upon swung and danced along - held up by a length of rope attached to Haddal's guitar.

Together these two men would be known throughout the land - with their mark heralding their friendship flapping proudly from Rolan's garb.

Though born apart and finding little accomplishment on their own - together, these two sworn brothers would become the greatest entertainers to remembered in the ages to come.
