Dior Malachi

## Dior's Early Life

Dior was a member of the nomad tribe Family. As one of the people, she was chosen to be a fighter. While training and still very young, she also showed the ability to be a Mage. It was very rare for a member of Family to be able to perform two roles at once. Even as a fighter, Dior excelled more than even those older than her.

### The Prophecy

One day, Family was adventuring during a forest when they came to an awkward clearing. In the middle was the entrance to a cavern. the outside was adorned with marble bricks and six unlit torches around the opening. The bricks were weathered and cracks: likely from animals, the weather, and the passage of time. Some fighters ventured in first with the elder arcanist. Within an hour, they returned stating that this was the entrance to a temple dedicated to one of the old gods. They searched the temple in shifts, allowing each member of Family- young and old- to have a chance to have a chance to find any kind of treasure.

Some emerged with swords and some with potions and fine sets of clothes. Dior entered and found a strange bone-looking stick. It lay dull but glowed slightly green in the palm of her hand. It did not resemble any type of wood or bone of any creature any of the hunters recognized. The arcanists could not identify the age of the item, and the mages could not find any magical property within. However, it still had a faint glow in Dior's hand, but she couldn't understand why.

The elders then told her of a prophecy that had been passed down since the death of the gods. The elder arcanist at the time heard a cry from Vasiliás himself. He spoke,

*"Mage Pyramus, I am aware of your people and its purpose. You wish to avoid the world of man and god, but we need your assistance. We gods are dying, and we will soon cease to be. The day will come that this world will plunge itself further into darkness, and a child will be born to save the world from itself. I believe that it can only be someone from your bloodlines: a people who have the most clean hands in this war. I beseech you to think of these words as you watch the world descend into chaos."*

## After the Prophecy

Dior, after hearing the words which Vasiliás spoke, she felt a great responsibility and weight on her shoulders. Her greatest desire became to revive Vasiliás. She wanted to become his chosen champion as though it were the Silver age. She trained harder than ever in her fighter and mage ranks. Realizing that this was probably impossible while journeying with Family, she decided to set out on her own. For a year, Dior had no luck finding a way to find Vasiliás or any trace of him.

She then came to a place of ruin called Old Vassos. There she met Cleo Malachi, a man of great knowledge who was also searching for the truth about the gods. He told her that the ruined city of Old Vassos had many ties to Vasiliás and may have even been erected by the god himself back in the golden era. Dior and Cleo were wed after a short amount of time and she gave birth to Alroy Malachi After Old Vassos was destroyed, the Malachis ventured to Kilead and sought refuge there. There they were thrust to work on a workers ship, and there the story unfurls.
