Vahayon of the House of Finderwel, is an Elven prince of Evermeet, twin brother of Tyavos and a younger sibling to Harminil.

# Early Life

## Childhood

Vahayon was born in Evermeet in 1389. In his childhood he spent more time with his mother, than with his two brothers. For this, he was the one least keen to stray away from the comforts of home. He nonetheless became a respectable swordsman, being also taught by his older brother. In his youth, Vahayon also displayed an affinity for magic, much more so than his two brothers.

## Exile to the Sword Coast

After the tragic demon attack during his and his twin brother's maturation feast, Vahayon was screaming for revenge after his beloved mother died as a result of the attack. The three brothers swore an oath to reclaim their jeweled crown, or die trying, to restore their House in its rightful place. After arriving in the Sword Coast, and by recommendation of Harminil, Vahayon went together with his twin brother Tyavos, as Harminil believed that Vahayon needed someone to look after him, for he was the least ready for exile.

# Travels with Tyavos

## Settling in Daggerford

The twins eventually made their way to Daggerford and the surrounding regions, whilst their older brother went further north to Waterdeep. Harminil wanted them relatively close to him, but also on their own, so that Vahayon could learn to live in exile and be as self-sufficient as possible, as their preparations for the reclamation of the crown would be very long, if they wanted to defeat a Demon Lord. It was during this time that Vahayon developed alcoholism, at least for elvish standards, as the first months of exile proved hard on him.

## Demon Hunting

Eventually the two brothers started hunting lesser Demons all around the Sword Coast, to hone their skills and get their insights on how a bigger Demon could be defeated. They travelled all along the Sword Coast, killing various lesser demons, including a dretch near Candlekeep, a vrock near Tethyr and a Barlgura in Neverwinter. These fights were not without their toll, as his twin brother received a limp from one of the fights.

## Search for a demonologist

Realising that hunting Demons via contracts was a wild goose-chase, and that Evermeet's magical defences are not simply overrun by a Demon, the two twins realised that the Demon Lord was probably summoned in Evermeet. So they started their search for a demonologist, eventually finding the name of Nicholas Remay. His whereabouts however were largely unknown, the brothers having only heard rumours about him from suspected members of the church of Bane. The brothers therefore started infiltrating the widely outlawed church of Bane in an attempt to gather more information.

# Character

In his early years, Vahayon was considered to be the most gentle spirited out of the three brothers, largely due to the fact that he spent a lot of time with his mother. The death of his beloved mother however made him more fiery in an attempt to avenge her death. The loss of his mother combined with the exile from Evermeet, also made him turn to alcohol. Vahayon is an especially cunning warrior, supplementing his swordmanship with his magical skills, with the latter having proved especially useful in their demon hunts.

# Etymology

Vahayon in Elvish means "Distant son", as he was the only one to inherit coppery red hair from his paternal grandfather, Fingaerdor.
