Arvaino was born all the way in the frozen Northern Wastes of Forochel on the year 2975 of the Third Age. There, in a Suri-Kyla near the Ice Bay his story begins. There in a one of the larger huts of his people lived a small group known as Leijona-Heimo (The Lion Tribe). It was also where his parents lived for most of their lives and gave birth to him.  The boy was kept safe from any harm that may come in his earliest years of life. When he reached the age of ten he was trained and learned how to fight with various weapons. He mastered using both range and melee weapons and learned the basics of survival and tracking. After the training was done, he served under the elder of his tribe and when he proved himself he was given command of his tribe's hunting party. When the need arose Arvaino decided to move with his hunting party out of the village to keep their lands safe, this is where he met one of his closest friends. A Ranger of the North called Forngarmo. However they gave her another name after years fighting by her side. They now known her as Jaan Vartija. When the ranger left to fulfill her duty, Arvaino continued to guard his land and still does so with his trusted soldiers.
