## Biography

### First Era

#### Son of Selwyn

Parven was born in the year of 69 in the First Era being the first grandson to Lassendir and the only son of Selwyn who was the next in the line to rule the kingdom of Elion which he had spent most of his time preparing himself for, Parven would end up being the only grandson that Lassendir would see before he departed to sacrifice himself for his sons. Due to his father having to take control of the kingdom Parven for a small amount of time was neglected by his own father as he tried to maintain order among his subjects, with the Elion War beginning Parven was transported to Selwyn's secure fortress to keep his son out of harms way which allowed him to grow up inside the castle training with some of his teachers in combat, diplomacy and stewardess as his father had planned on training him in like his father before him. During his time inside of the castle as the civil war raged around him Parven's father would visit him from time to time performing his fatherly duties whilst helping him in his training, when he didn't spend time with his father he would harden his resolve spending more and more time away from him so that he could be an independent warrior and leader.

#### Second King

Eventually the civil war would come to an end and the three princes formed their own kingdom with Selwyn creating Valadrion and crowned Parven as the heir to the throne, before becoming the king Parven would now serve in the 10 Year War as a military commander under his father warring against the other two kingdoms. During the war he would gain much needed experience in terms of warfare and being a leader of soldiers which he was not able to learn from his studies and practice at his home, this much needed training and experience would come in handy for the young commander as the war would eventually come to an end and had left much of the land across the three kingdoms ravished from destruction and war. As his father got older Parven took personal responsibility on rehousing and supporting Valadrion's people who had suffered from the war whilst Selwyn in his elderly age begun his work on rebuilding, the rebuild would only have just started when Selwyn had died dealing another major blow to the kingdom's morale. Like his father before him Parven would have a hard task of running a kingdom ahead of him but he was ready immediately continuing his father's rebuild whilst listening closely to his advisors, the rebuild would take some time but he slowly begun to regain the hope and morale of his people when he had conceived a child naming him Throda and deeming him the next heir to the throne. With the rebuild and birth of a new child Parven's reputation among his people was good and gradually improved however this focus did not help his large military force that had been depleted in the last war, having known this he would seek to utilise his newfound popularity as a way to get people to become soldiers to help protect their rebuilt homes which they gladly would allowing Parven to reinforce a basic infantry that he would oversee forging them into true warriors.

As most of this was going on Parven would make as much time as possible for his son Throda doing what his father could not in hopes of strengthening their bond together so that he could become a better king that he ever was, alongside this Parven received a letter from one of the Easterling tribes who supposedly had sighted movements of what they described as a dragon which confused him as he had never seen such a beast before but whether he believed these rumours or not he would keep the letter hidden to his personal quarters. It was stated that Parven continued training his son believing that his son would be the one to slay this supposed dragon if it ever threatened their kingdom, upon his death in 171 of the First Era the throne would pass to Throda who would go on to slay the dragon Asir and who had also been the only one to uncover the letter that Parven had been given.
