Feanel Arion

**Feanel Arion** is a Vy'el Faerian who currently leads the Vy'elan Syndicate, a minor organization within the larger Crestian Syndicate. He was initially born in the Green Grove but fled to Whitecrest after the Battle of the Green Grove in 1212 AW.

## Biography

Records on Feanel Arion before his move to Whitecrest are nearly non-existent. He was born in 1115 AW in the city of Caran Paeloch in the Green Grove. In 1212 AW, he was a low-ranking officer in the Army of House Paeloch, which was subsequently annihilated during the larger Battle of the Green Grove by Albert Schmied's Second Army accompanied by the God of Storms, Syarus.

Following the destruction of the Green Grove, Arion was one of many Faerian refugees who fled westwards into Wyrsia and Western Innyria. Ultimately, Arion would choose to head for Western Innyria. It is here where he renounced all faith in the Divines, becoming a Vy'el.

Unable to find honest work, he would join the Sons of Innyria alongside hundreds of other Faerians like himself. He moved from Western Innyria to Whitecrest in 1214 AW, where he became somewhat of a leader of the Faerians within the Sons.

Arion was known to frequently clash with Fiona Hijaeli when it came to the Sons of Innyria's actions. Ultimately, he would rebel against her in 1216 AW, founding the Vy'elan Syndicate alongside a group of disgruntled Faerians. Subsequently, he was declared a traitor. Arion would flee from the Innyrian District to the Red District, negotiating with Herman van Corberg for protection.

Ultimately, the clashes between the Vy'elans and the Innyrians would end in 1218 AW with an uneasy peace being established. Arion moved back into the Innyrian District alongside his minor gang, which would end up joining the larger Crestian Syndicate in 1220 AW.

Arion played almost no role in the rest of the War for Whitecrest, mostly focusing himself on Western Innyria and the Green Grove. He has proposed to expand or even outright move the Vy'elan Syndicate into the newfound Kingdom of the Green Grove, yet it is unlikely that the organization will have enough funds to do so. For now, Arion sits tight, waiting for an opportunity.

## Personality

While military sources of House Paeloch describe Feanel Arion as a valiant officer, little of that remains nowadays. Seemingly traumatized by the horrors of the Battle of the Green Grove, Feanel Arion has become completely self-centered, only caring about his own well-being. The only person he seems to truly care about is a fallen comrade called Cynn. Arion often talks to Cynn, even though nobody is there, leading to some believing he is actually possessed or, at the very least, crazy.

## Relationships

* Cynn - Cynn understands me. Cynn gives me great advice. I'd be nowhere without Cynn.

* Fiona Hijaeli - Fiona Hijaeli is incompetent, weak, and a coward. She's unfit to be a leader. Cynn and I both agree on this!
