## History

### Childhood

From the lineage of a cadet branch within the illustrious House Asuryan, nestled in the realms of Northweald noble territory in Lordaeron, Khelios emerged into the world destined for a fate outside the limelight of ducal inheritance. His beginnings, cast in the shadow of unassuming origins, painted a childhood steeped in the hues of anonymity.

Despite his anticipated distance from the Ducal throne, his father, a Baron and kin to the ruling Duke, steered young Khelios toward the tutelage befitting a future in statesmanship and martial prowess. Under his father's guidance, the foundations of leadership and military strategy were etched into the fabric of Khelios's upbringing.

In his education, Khelios flourished in the realms of nobility's expectations. However, his heart yearned for the gleam of steel and the artistry of combat, a predicment that found favor in his father's eyes yet cast a shadow upon his mother's heart. She, a diplomat hailing from the Quel'dorei, sought to imbue her son with the legacy of his elven heritage—teaching him the language and heritage of the Quel'dorei and fostering visits to the Sunshatter estate.

In these divergent teachings and affections, Khelios navigated the symphony of his upbringing—a dance between martial fervor and diplomatic finesse.

### Early Years

In the dawn of his youth, Khelios stood steadfast in the face of the orcish onslaught, resolute in his duties as a Knight unyielding. As whispers of the encroaching peril echoed through the lands, he prepared, honing his skills, while missives from Stormwind penned a horror that was coming until the first refugees sought sanctuary within the halls of House Asuryan.

Amidst the storm of the green menace's relentless assault, the hallowed chambers echoed with the birth of the Alliance of Lordaeron, rallying the Lordaeronian forces against the encroaching darkness. With the clarion call of battle, the Asuryan Army, standing as an indomitable bastion, joined the ranks of the mobilized military.

Khelios, bearing the mantle of a soldier under the command of his father's regiment, witnessed the harrowing horrors of conflict firsthand. Amidst the chaos of battle, his blade danced in defense not just of his kingdom, but in defense of the very soul of Azeroth itself.

Amidst the crucible of war, fate dealt a cruel blow—his father, crippled in the scorched lands of Quel'thalas, his legs robbed of their strength. As the weight of command fell squarely upon Khelios's shoulders, he emerged as a beacon of leadership, facing the Dragonmaw head-on in the aerial theaters of battle.

As the tides of war waned and the green menace quelled, Khelios emerged adorned in the mantle of valor, bestowed with honors for his indomitable service. A Barony, a testament to his valorous feats, became his domain—a tribute to his unwavering dedication and bravery.

Witnessing the radiant power of the Light marshaled by Turalyon, Khelios felt a stirring within—a call to the Light that had long lingered unheeded within his heart. Pledging allegiance to the nascent Order of the Silver Hand, he ascended swiftly in rank, his leadership and unwavering devotion to the Light propelling him towards illustrious heights within the order's echelons.

### The Fall of Northweald

In the cataclysmic upheaval that befell Lordaeron, the Knights of Northweald valiantly endeavored to stem the tide, wielding the might of the North against the encroaching Scourge. Yet, even the formidable strength of the northern lands proved futile against the relentless onslaught. The Dukedom, a bastion of noble lineage, succumbed to the inexorable grasp of the Scourge's devastation. House Asuryan, its scions, met a tragic fate in the merciless massacre, their valor extinguished amidst the carnage.

Amidst the chaos and despair, only a scant few, Khelios among them, managed to evade the clutches of annihilation. From the ashes of that fateful day, a tempest of fury stormed within Khelios, his heart consumed by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance. In the crucible of loss, he forged a solemn vow—a vow to avenge the fallen, a vow that reverberated with the unyielding echoes of retribution.

#### Scarlet Years

Khelios served under the Scarlet Crusade before their corruption believing in their ideal of the retaken of his home and believing in their at the time righteous crusade. Alas such things were not meant to be as the Scarlet soon would fall into herecy and sacrilegious abuse of the Light. He departed going to his new home in Stormwind where a lot of refugees would go.

### Stormwind Citizen

Khelios would be an outstanding citizen for the Kingdom of Stormwind eternally grateful for their patronage of his people after the massacre in Lordaeron. Khelios would devout his time as a soldier for the Alliance and a formal member of the Order of the Silverhand. But in his heart, his heart ached for the refugees that came from Lordaeron he petioned the House of Nobles to based on his noble lineage and military valor be granted a peerage and some domains for his people. The House of Nobles saw the potential of a colony in the Northend continent and granted Khelios with a Military Governorship and some supplies to begin his colonization efforts in the far North. Khelios seeing the potential of such a land and a new start for his people would accept and reformed an ancient order of Lordaeron chivalry - The Order of Saint Lordain for Lordain's valor and spirit yet stirred in the heart of his people.
