Thread Name: Vaelus' Curse (Starter Curse request)
City/Area: Rynmere
Notes/Warnings: This is a repost from here but accessible for anyone as requested. It was approved as a starting story by Jade but she told me it was also eligible for knowledge review. I think it's a little bloody/descriptive on the fighting

Vhalar: Cursed you

Loot: The money he brought at the beginning was lost in the fire.
Injuries/Overstepping: Stab wound in the back, cut on the forearm, bruised throat, head and back but they all happened several arcs ago. I'm not sure if the following should be here or perhaps under loot but Ronan broke both the Lesser Oath and Blood Bond that he had with Quan, who was a blessed of Vhalar. According to lore, breaking the Lesser Oath results in a series of unexpected setbacks and accidents (Ronan got imprisoned for several arcs, lost his Gladiator title and suffered for many seasons from the beating Vhalar gave him as well as some minor memory loss) and breaking the Blood Bond means his blood won't cloth until someone can forgive him for it.
Fame: Probably negative, if any.
Collaboration: No
Magic EXP: No
