Heldir

*"Sometimes I think its better that we remain this far west, whilst I dream of reclaiming our homeland and uniting the realm once again I also dread to think of what would happen should men have that much power again."* - Heldir

Heldir was a human male that was born early on within the Second Era and eventually became the Chieftain of the Galad after his own father, being the current heir to the kingdom of Valadrion he kept his remaining tribesmen who were also of the same species as him far into the west away from any other form of civilisation due to his own worry of retaking the throne of Valadrion therefore becoming the king of Elion seeing as he doubted the trust and faith of men with their own greed. Heldir would eventually meet his demise to Tozor who personally attacked Heldir and his people in hopes of destroying any trace of men who could have claim to the throne of Elion to reunite the realm, Heldir would be killed defending his people allowing the remainder of his people to go into hiding away from the enemy.

## Biography

### Second Era

#### Plains of Galadre

Heldir was born from the Galad and was raised on the green plains of Galadre in the far west of the realm away from many kingdoms and cities, like many of the Galad he was raised and trained on how to fight using a bow, spear and a sword training him into a warrior. During his younger years Heldir would lead his own small force of soldiers venturing out from their own plains posing as mercenaries so that he may better understand the world undertaking jobs and exploration, on his travels he would come across the abandoned Fortress of Ammitaar which used to be a Forline fortress and outpost to guard their southern border. Heldir would take his men inside the fortress only to discover that it was being inhabited by Goblins who were secretly working for Tozor being under orders to spy on the west for sight of any of the Galad, Heldir and his men would clear the fortress of the creatures then returning home with their findings. After reporting his findings to his father Heldir and some of the Galadrim were sent out to warn the kingdoms of the north such as Baramunz of another impending attack from the dark lord Tozor, returning to his people Heldir and the rest of the Galad would watch over their borders and plains for any sight of enemy movement but for years nothing would happen and doubt began to settle in and the borders would begin to relax leading up to Heldir's fathers death where the chieftain title would fall to Heldir.

#### Chieftain of the Galad

Becoming the new chieftain Heldir immediately began to expand the borders for the tribe in order to cover more ground and gain more oversight on any potential spotting of Tozor or his allies, during his time expanding the tribe across the plains Heldir began to suffer visions and nightmares from Tozor who was seeking to turn Heldir into one of his servants and revealing the tribe's location but he would manage to repel the visions forcing Tozor to launch his attack prematurely to wipe out all of the Galad realising their actual power to rebel against him. Knowing about the attack Heldir would move many of the tribe to a secluded area far away from where he would taunt and lure the enemy so that even if he and his men were killed they would not be able to track down the rest of the Galad which included Heldir's only child. When the Orc army arrived they would immediately be ambushed by Heldir and his small contingent of men that were able to fight which although they were outnumbered the skill and agility of the Galadrim was equal to that of an army of Orcs, even though they were managing to hold back the horde the group were eventually being whittled down until Heldir remained on his own and would now come face to face with the dark lord. Tozor would engage in combat with Heldir then forcing his army to finish him off allowing him to kill the chieftain, after Heldir was killed he would be resurrected into the dark servant known as Nasir who went on to serve Tozor.

## Legacy

With his death Heldir's son and new chieftain Annuivedir would take to hunting down Tozor and in turn his own father to kill his corrupted soul and grant him his eternal rest, whilst under Tozor Heldir now known as Nasir would go on to act as the second in command waging war in the southern parts of the realm amassing his own citadel and kingdom using it as a stronghold for his master. At some point during his time as Nasir he would be confronted by his son and his companions who had hunted him down across the land to his own stronghold, they would fight with his son managing to disarm his father and cleanse his soul of the darkness that surrounded him which allowed Heldir to return to his body for a short period of time thanking his son and telling him of a vision that was granted to him by Tozor which saw the heir of Selwyn and Lassendir return to the throne of Valadrion and therefore reuniting the realm onto the throne of Elion which Tozor had been working towards to stop. After informing his son of this he would eventually fade away finally knowing peace.
