History

Ac’Aelu’s life began in the settlement on Holm, to Meiane and Aeric Corval. The two had met as parts of the Holm Engineer’s guild, and began courting shortly after Ac’Aelu’s conception by a travelling tradesman. The pregnancy was soon discovered by the pair, and Aeric chose to raise Ac’Aelu as his own.

For the first decades of his life, Ac’Aelu lived a normal childhood. His parents taught him to read, and to work numbers. For all who looked on, it seemed obvious that the young, bright boy would end up working the same profession as his parents - Engineering.

Barely a year prior to the beginning of his formal education in the trade, his parents were killed in a cave collapse in the depths of Underholm. He spent the following years mainly within his home, living off of the diminishing estate in his parents’ wills.

Time past, and the money soon ran out. Stricken with a fear of the deep, dark places that killed his parents, Ac’Aelu was unable to use the one marketable skill he had any training in. Faced with starvation in the freezing island, he turned to stealing.

First taking food from shops and stalls at opportune times, Ac’Aelu eventually began to take riskier ventures in pickpocketing. This led to both hot meals and beatings in the streets, but he persisted. This seemed as though it would be his fate until one day a beating went too far, but perhaps out of luck, or perhaps out of fate, one day his target was a very peculiar visitor to the island.

When that day ended, Ac’Aelu was sitting in a boat next to his new teacher, Salamandra. He never learned why, exactly, the mage had chosen an emaciated boy who’d just stolen a handful of minas to be his pupil, and looking back, all he knows is that he had been saved from a short life of destitution.

The next couple years of his life were spent in a small room of Salamandra’s home above the Mori caverns of Asulon. He was no longer the starved and homeless boy of before, and with food and a new set of clothes, he began to resemble the young man he is today.

The remaining years of Asulon were spent between Salamandra’s home, for study and lessons, and Aelu’s new private home in Normandor. During these quiet days as a student, Ac’Aelu met his future wife, a student of Hydromancy named Alandri. After a short while, the two moved in together in Normandor, and the final days of Asulon were spent in a quiet, peaceful routine.

The moves to Elysium and Kalos were easy ones for Aelu. He and Salamandra, now with his own wife, moved to two small homes on the shore below Malinor. His life in these days was just as peaceful as in Asulon, and as the years passed, Ac’Aelu’s skill as a geomancer, as well as his relationship with Alandra, grew at an increasing rate.

Ac’Aelu and Alandri married on the beach near their home, and soon afterwards their daughter, Aera, was born. Eventually they were forced to move once more - this time to Anthos.

In the commotion and suddenness of the journey, Ac’Aelu was separated from his wife and child, and ended up on a separate ship from them. As it so happened, this ship he had boarded was one of the few not destined to make it to Anthos.

In a storm about halfway through the journey, his ship was thrown off course, and eventually beached on a small landmass off the coast of Anthos. He spent much of this time using the skills he’d learned in Holm - Engineering and survival. It took two years, but eventually a small ship capable of carrying the remaining survivors was built, and the group managed to set off towards where they believed Anthos to be.

Nearly three years after all the rest, Ac’Aelu eventually found Anthos. On reaching land, his first priority was his wife. He searched for a year in attempt to find his family, and eventually did, on a road outside the town of Vaerhaven.

But the victory was bittersweet, and while he’d found his wife, his daughter had gone missing. Furthering the pain, Ac’Aelu soon discovered why: His wife had been converted into a Frost Witch.

On her refusal to go to Salamandra for help removing the curse, Ac’Aelu renewed his search with a heavy heart. Searching far and wide, it was in a Malinorian orphanage that he located his daughter, abandoned when her mother was marked.

By this point he had become affiliated enough with Geomancy that he no longer required lessons from Salamandra. It was merely now a matter of strengthening his abilities. Reunited with Aera and living in a small home in Luminaire, Ac’Aelu joined the Lumidrim and began to use his skills to protect the nation he’d come to love.

Things were good again, for a while. He spent his free time practising. His wages that weren’t put towards food were spent on books to fuel his daughter’s love of reading. These are the days he looks back to, when all was peaceful and the world was right.

Like all other periods of peace, this one would end as well. It had been a quiet day, no different than any other. He was on his balcony practising Evocation, and Aera was outside reading under the birch tree that was the centerpiece to the little square their home was on the edge of. He was aware of the roaming bands of humans, intent on the purging of his kind, but not of the pair inside the city.

It was no dramatic fight or any sort of battle at all. From his Balcony, Ac’Aelu heard the screams of his daughter down below. He jumped up and sprinted towards his door to the outside, but by the time he had descended the stairs it was too late. He saw his daughter on the ground, her body heaving as she whimpered, and a pair of armored men walking down the road.

The one image that would haunt him for the rest of his life was the faint, pained hope that came to Aera’s eyes as Ac’Aelu lifted her bleeding and broken body from the ground. He rushed her into his home, screaming for a guard, a medic, a cleric - anybody that could help, but none came. Aera Corval died in his arms, at the age of eight.

The week after the death of his daughter were spent in a dazed stupor. He stayed in his home, attempting to live normally, but it slowly came to be obvious that he couldn’t stay. He said his goodbyes, and after burying Aera under the tree she so loved, set out in attempt to find the only family he had left, his wife. He devoted himself, if for nothing else than to keep his mind looking forward, to finding a way to revert her back from the affliction she’d taken.

Aside from a few brief stints of residence in various villages, he spent the remainder of his days in Anthos a wanderer, slowly losing faith in the ability to ever have the normalcy that he so cherished in the past.

Ac’Aelu found himself drawn to the small settlement of Lin’ame, in the fringe. He’d long given up faith in his ability to piece back any of the parts of the happier days of his life. He spent a short time in the squalor of the district, but soon became disillusioned with it and left, after making plans with various other residents.

In Thales, Ac’Aelu was at the head of the settlement of Talonnii, where he and various other conspirants from Lin’ame built a town free of Haelun’or’s influence. Joining a confederation with a small number of other such towns, Talonnii became home to a small group that grew to restore faith in Ac’Aelu for the future. This faint hope, however, took a blow when the other allied towns fell to Haelun’or. Talonni itself survived, but was never able to thrive.

Athera marked a great change in Ac’Aelu’s life. First living a hermit’s life, he was drawn back to his kin after the Bronze Rebellion freed the Mali’ame of Haelun’or’s control. Enlisting into the Ivory Order of Leyulin, his life took the first upswing it had seen in decades.

Decorated during the campaign against Embermoore, Ac’Aelu was quickly promoted to be the first Laureh’niut of the order, the second in command. Around the same time, he was made Steward of the Laureh’lin Merchant’s guild for his work in securing a long-term leather supply.

At the conclusion of Embermoore’s hostilities, Haelun’or once again opened their own. During the illness of his close friend, Chancellor Artimec Camoryn, the Mali’aheral state coerced the remaining Chancellor, Dwyn Tinuvial, into signing a treaty barring many of Laureh’lin’s recent advancements. With the aid of the Ivory Order and the Dwarven Legion, as well as an appointment to regency, Ac’Aelu was able to repeal the treaty and temporarily halt High Elven advances.

For these actions, he was promoted to the Meracah’ir of the Ivory Order, and granted the title of “The Savior of Leyulin”. This brief period proved to be one of the few of happiness in his life, mainly as a result of the initiation of a relationship with the ex-high princess Titania Hawksong.

It was also during this time that Ac’Aelu discovered that the man he’d been working with, Chancellor Dwyn Tinuvial, was his father. Discovered only by chance in conversation, Ac’Aelu was first tentative about accepting the revelation, but over the following years he began to accept the family he didn’t know he had.

The peace was short-lived, though, with Haelun’or’s open hostilities. The ensuing war saw Ac’Aelu being appointed Chancellor, and soon, the construction of Cerulin.

Forced out of Leyulin, Ac’Aelu led the construction of the new city of Cerulin, deeper into the Fiandria forests. Soon thereafter, the Treaty of Fiandria was signed, and Cerulin enterred a tense, but generally peaceful, era.

With Cerulin’s construction well underway, his relationships with both Titania and his family grew. At the helm of Laureh’lin, he entered a fragile, but once again peaceful period of his life.
 

But a few years into the completion of the new city, renewed Mali’aheral aggressions led to Orenian intervention. To lessen the blows of change, Ac’Aelu willingly stepped down from his position in favor of Tristin Tresery, the newly elected Meracah’ir and favored lliason to Oren.

 

Stepping back down to Guildmaster of the Laureh’lin labor guild, Ac’Aelu and his city entered a time of peace. In the time of peace, he began to focus his life more on his newly discovered family, and the enjoyment of the rare years of ease.

 

Barely two years into this peace, the Tinuvial family experienced a loss of Yaehahn Des’nox, daughter of Dwyn and half-sister of Ac’Aelu. The loss struck Aelu, and realization swept over him as to the fact that she'd died before they could ever truly meet, and that the cause of such was his self-placed importance on politics.

[Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1535]

didnt know Quavinir, as a homonuclous could have a son. cool.

 

He has no biological relation to Quavinir. Ac'Aelu is a bastard child of Dwyn and Meiane, from before Dwyn had even met Quavinir.

ok.

 

That was a fast response.
