Elror

*"Elror was considered to be very special from Lassendir's descendants being arguably the first ever person within the realm to be blessed with the ability to utilise magic, unlike his father he was able to actually use magic and during his later stages of life began to study it deeply."* - Book of Kings, a book dating the history of kings from all of the three kingdoms

Elror is a human male and also a part of the subspecies of the Galad being gifted with attributes that his grandfather would give to all of his descendants including Elror's father Cairdor, whilst Elror's father studied magic he was never able to actually conjure it's power whereas Elror was actually born with magical properties being one of the first humans to have ever practised magic. During his time growing up Elror rarely spoke to his father as Cairdor slowly became more distant with his duties it would fall to him to lead his people despite not actually being the crowned king he would act and lead in his father's stead for many years. During his reign as king Elror would uncover his father's studies on magic and learned how to conjure spells of his own in which he would carve out a piece of land for people who also conjured magic were able to practice, this piece of land would eventually become the Shrine of Elror in later years which mages dedicated to Elror long after he had passed. Whilst he was king Elror would go on to form the Blades of Valline who were warriors that were infused with his own magical power.

## Biography

### First Era

#### Magical Child

Elror grew up during the Elion War known as the civil war between his father and two uncles which unbeknownst to him his father was the instigator hoping to take the throne for himself, during this time of war Elror found himself without his father and slowly realising that he was born with a power that was unknown to him at the time that of magic. Although he had these powers he would never have the time to practice using them and instead would be practising his ability with a sword and in leadership to one day help his father, whilst he did practice is military skills Elror did not entirely ignore his power that he had and so whatever spare time he had he would dedicate to further understanding it. By the time he was 20 his father would found the kingdom of Valline in which he was crowned as the prince but the following Ten Year War would mean that Elror joined his father in the war against his two uncles and their respective kingdoms, despite the war he would spend a lot of his time with his father forming a proper bond with him however once the war came to a close his father would spend his final decade of life to understanding the world's magical properties and Elvish magic in which he became obsessed with abandoning his duties and even speaking to his son which shattered the bond with Elror and his father growing to hate him.

#### A New King

During this time when Elror's father isolated himself from his own kingdom he would manage the kingdom in his place whilst not being the official king he would still perform and continue the duties that were of a king, alongside his basic duties Elror would make sure to bolster the kingdom's defences to ensure that the borders to the other kingdoms was protected and his people would be safe. By the time of 116 of the First Era Elror's father Cairdor would pass leaving the crown and throne of Valline to his son also leaving him a key to his study which contained his mass amounts of research into magic, for the majority of his reign Elror left his father's study unopened temporarily halting his hobby of using his own magic and completely dedicating himself to ruling his kingdom correctly unlike his father which meant the continued rebuild of his kingdom. Whilst he was a king Elror would familiarise himself with the court and network of spies that his father had built up realising how important both were and how they were built to last with or without his father, once he had solidified the kingdom and its lands he began having problems with Parven who was trying to push his border for more land whilst claiming that Elror was doing the exact same thing having convinced Gwilithon of this who sought to use this opportunity to fight like his father. During this time of tense war Elror would get back into researching his magical powers learning of how to imbue his power onto others giving him and them the power of magic but also to know where each other where at all times, this organisation would be named the Blades of Valline who were extremely well trained warriors but also became excellent spies for Elror being carefully placed in other kingdoms to monitor the events and situations that arose with the other kings.

Eventually the tension would pour over into all out war and Elror would utilise his spies by giving them each assignments which would hinder both kingdoms from properly being able to invade his lands whilst he mustered up his own army, as the war raged on even into Elror's older years he would grow tired of it leaving many battles to his generals and commanders and spending more time with his son Hurey whom he would teach a valuable lesson that sometimes being bad or evil is the only way to save the people you care about which was how he interpreted his own father's lack of time spent with him. His other hobby of teaching himself magic would also continue so much so that some of the other inhabitants of Valline who were born with the gift of magic would construct the Shrine of Elror which became the magical retreat for many other magic users to find peace and practice at, by the time of 187 of the First Era Elror would pass and left his son the key to his grandfather's study on which he had gathered most of his research on magic.
