Founding and early years

The two wood elves Yrdon Morienis, the Cleric and Lorien Yorhund, the , both from the small elven village of Silverbrook started the group of mercenaries in an effort to grow their prowess and strength in combat, in an effort to defeat the god of war and take his place.

In their adventures and trials they stumbled across another sellsword, Rachust Starbanner, a human fighter while staying at a local inn. The Swift Strikes took him in to allow them to pursue greater missions.

They later started advertising their services in areas outside of their local town of Avelana, eventually getting contacted by a halfling bard named Anion Soara Nonny who wished to join their ranks.

Disbandment

The group continued questing together for many years, picking up small jobs here and there to make a living.

Yrdon and Lorien were frequently at odds with each other, trying time and time again to prove superior over the other to figure out who would finally be the one to finally defeat the god of war.

Their constant trying to one-up each other ended up with them neglecting to come to the aid of their partner Rachust, who ended up perishing in battle with an Ogre.

In a fit of rage Yrdon and Lorien were at each others throats, blaming each other and fighting violently until Lorien had Yrdon pinned, sword at his throat.

Anion then tackles Lorien from behind, making him slash his sword up the right side of Yrdon's face, giving him a nasty scar. Anion breaks up the fighting and the group disbands.
