## biography

### Background

Valara was an orphan who was taken in by the Knights of Torm. Much later in life, when the knights saw he was ready, they trained him to be a Paladin of Torm.

In the year 1121 when he was under training to be a Paladin, he thought up a plan to become a famous paladin, so he went down to the Torwick forest, past the Dranin rangers and tricked a hobgoblin warlord to come into the kingdom of Warkab only wanting the payment of 10 gold pieces per goblin. He earned 200gp and got 17 goblins, two Worgs and a hobgoblin commander unnoticed into the kingdom.

When the goblins inevitably attacked the town of Alryn, he was supposed to save the citizens but when he showed up, a group of people had already killed the goblins. These people were later called the Demon slayers. When he noticed he got angry but also nervous because he didn't know them, so he hired these people to find and kill the rest of the goblins. Valara went to his trusted hunter, Tristan and gave him the task to kill any goblin who the strangers didn't kill.

The strangers came back two days later, without his friend. He was told that Tristan died in battle, which made him sad, but at the same time, he saw opportunity in these strangers and tried tricking them into killing a local resistance group who knew that him and the lady was corrupt, and also at the same time warned them about the Lady of Alryn, who he told them was evil and didn't care for the town.

On the 19th of Barrakas, Valara was getting anxious because he hadn't heard anything from the strangers in 9 days, so he decided to tell the lady of Alryn, they could be a threat to her ladyship. He got to the mansions small, but nice throne room where Lady Seluna sat reading a book. Before Valara could mutter a single word, the doors behind him sprung up and the now awakened Holgar Oldgader, founder of Alryn came in and snapped his fingers and everything went black. Valara woke up a few hours later and he had been arrested by Sargent Stefan.

The Demon slayers, later heard Valara had lost his ranks and was spending the rest of his life in the towers of iron.

## Relationships

**Lady Seluna**

Valara would do anything for the Lady of Alryn, as long he was paid every week. He would also enable the lady to indulge on all her desires, and she kept doing the same to him creating a toxic bond of friendship, where they both couldn't trust each other, because they actually understood each other.
