Origins of Torrencia
The Torrencians started out in a game of Dungeons and Dragons played by Kaitrin Torrencia and Shamino Sworddancer. In their college years, they lacked a TV set. So for entertainment, they would play D&D almost every night. As the campaign continued, they decided to create a storm goddess named Torrent. The party worshipped this somewhat capricious and spoiled goddess, and eventually succeeded in building an empire in her name. Thus, Torrencia came into existence. Then, with the advent of Guild Wars, what followed was probably inevitable. Many of their characters are actually named after characters from this campaign.
