**Kie Nesiem** was a knight of Inlawswee who lived his life in service to the elven people, and after his death during the Fomorian Crisis, he was resurrected as Kilodif, Spirit of Valor.

## Bio:

### Early Life:

Kie was born to the noble Nesiem family of Inlawswee to the mighty warrior Duriel Nesiem and Myra Invale and raised by their values of valor and duty from a young age. He learned swordsmanship from his father Duriel Nesiem, the hero of Ner-Ami, and veteran of both the Kinstrife and the Sunset War the two most recent notable conflict that the Inlawsween empire suffered

At the age of ten, he was sent to learn the commanders arts from Dontae Invale. He would spend many years learning about strategy and combat, alongside his mentor's daughter Kendra.

He was raised by their values of valor and duty from a young age. He learned swordsmanship from his famous grandfather Duriel Nesiem, the hero of Ner-Ami. At the age of ten, he was sent to learn the commanders arts from Dontae Invale. He would spend many years learning about strategy and combat, alongside his mentor's daughter Kendra.

### Military Career:

At the age of fifteen, his home was attacked by the undead, led by the wight Dormos Merthenir. Duriel called his old friend to aid in the defiance and Dontae brought Kie with him.

During the defense, Duriel was wounded and in a defense of his old friend, Dontae Invale was slain by the wight. Kie attacked the undead monster and in single combat slew the fiend, trapping the demon in it’s own helm. The emperor at the time, Fingon Kiesel, heard of this deed and brought Kie into his royal guard, where the young elf became good friends with his son Alberich.

At some point during his time as a member of the royal guard, he and the Prince fought Morin Snake at Eriti, where Alberich made an antidote and saved Kie’s life.

He was eventually knighted by the now-Emperor Alberich Kiesel.

### The Fomorian Crisis:

Years later, when Alberich heard of the Fomorians’ destruction of the Merfolk Empire and that the monsters were now invading his territory, he called forth all of his champions, including his best friend Kie Nesiem.

The elven armies first fought the horde at the town of Kalmis, where Kie slew Vec-Notak, the most vile of the Fomorian inner circle, in single combat. And with the help of the dwarves, his forces routed the Fomorian armies.

Unfortunately, this was not the whole Fomorian horde and the inter-racial alliance’s forces soon marched to reclaim the Retom Fortress from the Fomorians. During the march, he rescued the Lear Tribe from a Fomorian ambush, saving it and their leader Barden Pendil from certain destruction.

At the Battle of Retom, he fought many enemies alongside Alberich, Kendra and Tyne Rôlon. But soon Funor, the overlord of all Fomorians, appeared and caused many of the alliance's forces to rout. Kie covered his friends’ retreat, slaying many Fomorians. Eventually, he came face-to-face with Funor himself and the two had an epic duel. At one point, he had injured the demon lord, as orange icor bled out from his side, but as he prepared to finish off his opponent, he was struck in the back with a spear by a Fomorian lord named Lorvok the Cowardly. He fell dead and his corpse was carried away by the Fomorians. He would not be a prize for the horde, though, as the Spirit Dúkorn attacked the Fomorian camp that night, killing many Fomorians and stealing back the body of Kie, which he brought back to the elven leaders.

Kie Nesiem was buried outside of Ameria with all the alliance leadership attending. His sacrifice gave Alberich the courage to lead his forces to victory against the horde once and for all.

### Resurection:

Kie Nessem was brought back from the dead as the Spirit Kilodif some time around the year 2030 of the Glorious Age, as the Inlawswee Empire was nearing it’s end. He visited his old friend Alberich at Merive, rescuing from an attempt on his life at the hands of Atif Landran. He told him something that encouraged him to save the elven peaple.

Many hundreds of years later, he would pick a new champion, the Song Elf Tyberius Innatarsh and came to his aid at the Battle of Volos.

Years later, he would appear before him, alongside the demon Nertovec to test the elven battlemage.

The demon offered him power beyond his dreams, and Kie would give the elf a purpose besides mere killing. Tyberius sided with Kie and became the champion of Kilodif.

## Personality:

Kie was know to be a very loyal person, especially to his friends. He would gladly sacrifice his life for any of them and he eventually did.

As Kilodif, he remains loyal to the elven people. but is more distant and wiser.

**Swordmanship:** Trained by his gradfather, he became a master of the sword.

**The Shield of House Nesiem:** His house symbol and later his spirit item.
