DerpyVal

## Lore

Valkyrie Dermius was born to Hallowed parents in Nythrak, she found out that she was an ephliamancer; despite hating Val hating her power, her parents made her use it and trained her to become powerful. However, one night her city was attacked by Yuon Tenshou Ikaru. Her father was killed, but her mother grabbed Val and ran away into the forest with a couple of Hallowed survivors. Ikaru hunted them down and killed Val's mother and the other wizards, but Val hid and wasn't found. She wandered the valley all night until a group of humans found her and decided to adopt her, because she was a small child lost and alone. Despite being Hallowed the town welcomed her and she grew up there peacefully, and could never forget that she was from Hallowed descent.

One night, while she slept, she went into the mind of a Hallowed soldier; she learned that the group of Hallowed planned to attack her town, Brundor. When she woke up she quickly ran to tell her parents and others in the town that they would attack; however in her town few believed the Hallowed actually existed, just a traveller's rumour. She reluctantly gave up trying to persuade her people and found her best friend, she dragged him with her as she ran from the town. Just as they reached the top of the hill near her city, the attack started, it was a group of dark pyromancers and shadow mages. She watched in despair as her home was burnt to the ground, all she had was her best friend, the only person who she cared about.

Unfortunately a few days after her village was burned down, Val and her friend were captured by a group of bandits. When they tried to escape her friend was shot in the back by a crossbow, but Val kept running and running. As much as she regretted leaving him, she had no other choice, she couldn't have saved him. That very same night, in her sleep, she went into the mind of a girl, she was running from Hallowed soldiers, this confused Val as the girl was Hallowed. The next morning she finds the girl in the same tree she saw her hiding in the night before, she explained about how she used to be Hallowed but grew up with humans, Val learned the girl's name is Eris and that she ran away from the Hallowed capital Nythrak, what Val didn't know was that she was the daughter of the King of the Hallowed.

Together they travelled to the South, away from the Hallowed in the North, they worked together to earn money as they travelled. A few days after leaving the city of Cylia, when Eris had went to find firewood for a fire, she returned with not only wood but something else that Val had not expected. Eris returned with a small black dragon, with red eyes, sitting on her shoulder; it seemed to Val that the dragon did not pose a threat and actually seemed to like her. After travelling a few weeks more, they found a city filled with wizards, the city was called Illius. Val and Eris were wary of all the other mages at first and didn't trust them, that was until they met Sahara Cathor, another ex-Hallowed; she trained them and they saw each other as family, seeing as the other mages in Illius didn't understand what they'd been through. During the battle on the day Illius was raised into the air, Val made many a Hallowed fall into a trance-like sleep, making it easier for the other mages to fight the Hallowed.
