Auberon aep Aibellor

**Auberon aep Aibellor**, though also called **Auberon of the Alders**, is the King of the Eldael living in Tir ná Álon. He is the second King of Tir ná Álon, having succeeded his father Aibellor aep Ainmuirech. Auberon's reign oversaw his solidification of Eldael presence in Tir ná Álon and the further development of the Alders Project; an Eldael eugenics program to breed the most adept warriors and magical users.

Auberon ascended the rule of his homeworld following the death of his father, and oversaw the subjugation and enslavement of the native humans of Tir ná Álon and the further establishment of eugenics programs in order to regain the ability to traverse through the Multiverse, a power once possessed by their ancestors the fae, but lost when the Convergence occurred. As Eldael power grew, Auberon also authorized the abduction of humans from other worlds such as Aethira, in order to use as a slave force. Auberon's authority solidified himself as a strong leader, though often came into conflict with his brother Pelirgarth aep Aibellor.

Auberon later organized a marriage between his son and heir, Hayendiel aep Auberon to the daughter of Leyranthir, the princess Riannon (whom Auberon also fostered and viewed as a daughter), though these plans fell apart when Riannon ran away and instead got married to Perigan of Harvestar, a human. Despite Auberon's attempts to retrieve Riannon, the union of an Eldael and a human quickly reached human civilization and the two were hunted down and executed. Distraught, Auberon secluded himself and began to grow disillusioned as time went on, eventually with Haydendiel taking over most governmental duties by 1227 AL as Auberon mostly became a figurehead.

He was named after the elven deity Oberon, who oversees royalty and birthright; a factor Auberon finds fitting, though gets annoyed when his own name is incorrectly spelled the way of his namesake's.

## Biography

### Early life

Auberon was born in 875 AL to the then-king of the Alder Folk, Aibellor aep Ainmuirech. Auberon himself was named after one of the deities in the Ayartai, Oberon. Under the leadership of Aibellor, the Eldael elves left the Known world shortly following the coming of the Braydals and the Nordling genocide of their cousins, the Regael.
Born in Tir na Bláthgréin within the realm of Tir ná Álon, Auberon's mother Nitharelia of Gelsondan was subjected to the newly established Eldael genetics program in an attempt to enhance their abilities. As a result, Auberon was born among the firsts of the new generation of elves born in the new world. Auberon later gained two younger siblings in Pelirgarth aep Aibellor (whom was nicknamed Puck) and Clíona. All three siblings were considered prestine experiments in the Eldael eugenics project, with Auberon in particular being referred to as "Alderking" due to his nature as heir-apparent.

Auberon was eventually betrothed to Titania aed Sanendil, an elven woman of high birthright, circa 950 AL.
### King of the Alders

Auberon began his reign around 1000 AL following the death of Aibellor.

### Decline

In 1150. Titania passed away due to an incurable illness, which left a grief-stricken Auberon to seclude himself for several years to grieve. One of his viceroys, Euroswydd, suggested remarrying, which caused an anguished Auberon to declare that none shall replace his Titania. During the years since, and following the death of Ethriel, Auberon slowly became disillusioned with Eldael ideals, remarking in his journal that despite their superiority to others, they still fall victim to time and fate.
