**Laelen** was one of the Rea Maeron's guards in early K'l'mun. He was trusted by Nuzosec before the Battle of the Inkap'la and he had a large role in Reakh's Victory as well as a large role in the beginning of Reakhi civilization.

## Biography

### Background

All that is known about the beginning of Laelen is that he was one of the people in the Great Arrival.

He was swift and agile, and, although he did not come out on top in the battle to find a leader, he was still one of the more physically powerful people in the community. He stood around 6 foot and was very lean and muscular, as apposed to burly like Nuzosec and a few of the other people at the time.

### Beginning of K'l'mun

Laelen was quickly appointed to be a guard of Nuzosec in around 7300 BN, making him one of the first guards to be instated. He was well respected by Nuzosec and the rest of the people in the community. He was a strong worker who helped the builders with building the homes and the wall which took seven years to complete.

By this time, he had already gained immense respect and trust from Nuzosec, and even though he was also respected by everyone else in the community, making him a "Threat to Power" in Nuzosec's eyes, he kept him by his side. Laelen lived in the ekralga in Palalb'pala and was very rich. He lived with everything he needed. He often went to fish at Lake G'pan. He was one of the people that advised Nuzosec to build the second wall as it would stop a lot of petty theft close to the ekralga and the wealthier people of the nation.

Laelen was a strong believer in K'mianism, however he did not believe that Nuzosec was sent by the gods. He believed that Nuzosec just wanted to scare the people of the town into worshipping him, which worked for the most part. This caused Laelen to somewhat dislike Nuzosec for his ignorance and narcissism. He was forced to perform many public executions on behalf of Nuzosec's orders, which he despised doing, as he knew it was in the wrong. He attempted to subtly sway the opinions of the other guards to make them recognize Nuzosec's misdeeds, but he failed to do so as the other guards were very afraid.

He got together with a few other people in 7287 BN, one of them being Maehamarr, and they pitched the idea to create an undercover group to dethrone Nuzosec from his power. They decided to name their group "Reakh" after the K'mian god of strength, Rea. They began to recruit more and more members to their cause and eventually, news broke to Nuzosec of their plans. Eventually, the Battle of the Inkap'la broke out in which Laelen fought valiantly. Reakh's army gained the upper hand and Laelen saw his opportunity. He threw a jiakia at Nuzosec, nailing him in the torso. With their leader in critical condition, the battle was called off immediately.

Laelen was called to the First Council of the Nations to watch over the signing of the Order of Reakh. This meant that Reakh was now its own nation and Laelen became a citizen of Reakh.

### Beginning of Reakh

For the first ten years following the Battle of Inkap'la, Laelen's job was to help set the foundation for the great civilization of Reakh. He helped set infrastructure and establish trade between them and K'l'mun. His good friend Maehamarr would die due to an unknown disease in 7281 BN. This left Laelen in charge of helping decide who should be the leader next. They decided that Maehamarr's son, Maehlen should be the next heir to the throne, so it was decided that the rule of Reakh would be passed down the generations by blood. Laelen became good friends with Maehlen as well as becoming one of his most trusted guards.

When it was time to set up an ordered army for Reakh, Laelen was appointed Rea Falasta of the Reakhi army. Gilneeas taught Laelen how to use an aldonoc, a type of primitive bow and arrow. Laelen caught on quickly and proved he could easily defend against hoards of attackers on his own. Beotab, leader of K'l'mun, saw how skilled Laelen and the rest of the Reakhi army was, and established a full alliance between the two nations.

Laelen served for 12 years as Rea Falasta, but sadly died to an unknown disease in 7264 BN, theorized to be the same disease that killed his mentor, Maehamarr. His legacy lives on as a valiant and brave warrior who always wanted to become more skilled to defend his people.

## Personality

Laelen, although not remembered much by history, was a large part in where K'l'mun and Reakh ended up. His bravery and courage to do whatever necessary to fight to end suffering did not go unnoticed. He was a very smart and tactful planner and always knew the best action to do in times of battle. He was extremely skilled, but he kept wanting to get even stronger.

At times, however, he could be quite egotistical, but his cons nowhere near outweigh his strength of character. Even strong leaders like Maehlen and Beotab saw his legacy and knew that that was what a good leader would look like.

## Family Tree

**Laelen** never had any children and was born at the Great Arrival, so his family tree is only him.
