## Background

### Birth and Death

Balder was born on May 3rd, X947MC in (\*&\*), Neo Terra. The long-awaited son of distant cousins Shieva Aynokion and Aretias Aynokion, at the time he only had two older sisters named Vespertine and Zaia. His father had already named the child much to the annoyance of Shieva as due to the multiple pregnancies that mostly ended in stillbirths or miscarriages. She was at the point of just being happy for a healthy child.

But on the day of his birth, Shieva was laboring for a night and a half until doctors were able to come by that time it was too late. They had to perform an emergency caesarean section against Shieva's consent on Aretias orders due to his obsession with a son. This cause Shieva to bleed out and die, which then caused the Succession Crisis of X947.

Because of the death of Balder and Shieva an investigation was open and everyone in the household was under house arrest. Along with the secret marriage of Aretias and his newest mistress Atena Robigo without permission of the Queen Vespera as such Aretias was banished from Neo Terra for five years and his place in royal succession was stripped alongside his brother Daimon.

## Description

Balder was described a full bodied and a head full of silver hair. All the doctors said he was healthy, but the baby didn't live a few hours after his mother passed.

## Etymology

* Balder is the Vanerian form of *Beldur*, an Aesiran name. *Bel* in Aesiran means "light" combined with *Dur* means "to bring", or "bringer" as such its full meaning is "light bringer".
	+ Balder is from the Old Norse *Baldr* meaning "hero, lord, prince", derived from *baldr* meaning "brave, bold". In Norse mythology Balder was the handsome son of Odin and Frigg. Because of the disturbing dreams he had when he was young, his mother extracted an oath from everything in the world that it would not harm him. However, the devious god Loki learned that she had overlooked mistletoe. Being jealous, he tricked the blind god Hoder into throwing a branch of mistletoe at Balder, which killed him.
* Aynokion comes from *Aenocyon* which means "dreadful, terrible" in Latin.
	+ Aynokion means "skeleton horn" in Old Vanerian.

## Trivia

* He was named after his grandfather Balder V, which mirrors Balder III the long-awaited son of Vanitas I and his first queen Ammiana Achard who was named after his grandfather Balder II.
