Vahn originally dwelled within the kingdom of Sefinely, one kingdom of three existing on a large island existing within the realm of Ayenee, yet not entirely. His homelands lie within the south western seas, yet one could sail and never find the place without the proper knowledge. Millenia ago a land mass was formulated by entities of an unknown realm within the lands, this mass and a measure of the sea around it were folded within reality itself, locking out the world beyond the boundries. To such outsiders, no visible barrier exists. Merely open space and the absence of an isle and the civilization once entrusted to it's preservation. The three kingdoms co-existed peacefully amongst each other apart from men, seperated now by the blessing of their dieties, the Aloo'ra Tek. Forty generations of kings pass before Vahn is born, destined to one day take the throne as his father had done before him. Yet peace between the three kingdoms was fragile, as war between Sefinely and Vallaria tainted the past two centuries before Vahn's birth. Only five years prior to Vahn's birth was a treaty signed to hault the fighting, yet ten years into Vahn's life, on the very anniversary of Peace, the day the treaty had been signed fifteen years earlier, Vallaria launches a massive assault. Celebration preperations long underway, and the morn turning jovially to noon, the kingdom of Sefinely was caught in quite the unprepared state. Despite this, a formidable counter assault was launched to meet the warring soldiers in battle. Fierce combat ensued, but the Vallaria forces were too many and Sefinely had naught the time to prepare appropriately. The kingdom and great city lay in ruin by late eve, lighting the night ablaze in a hellish light emminated from the licking flames scorching the entirety of the kingdom. A testiment to Vallaria's victory, Vahn playing witness in his reluctant retreat within an airship he and his father had been building. To this very day Vahn can remember the intense heat of the flames, the tragic undoing of his father, the day he lost all dear to him. With the blade and matching medallion of his ancestors, Vahn, unbeknowing as he slept, was able to pass through the barrier and 'into' Ayenee. Awoken from his slumber after what seemed like an eternity 'neath the harsh grasp of nightmarish hauntings depicting the events prior to the new day, Vahn found his awakening a violent one as the airship would crash upon the south western tip of one of the large land masses within Ayenee. It did not take him long to realize the realm was a cold and heartless place to be, as he would find himself exposed to many a different trial before his true adventure within the realm as a mercenary would begin. |
