The Forgotten Hero

Auren Ellaison lives a reclusive life, hidden away from society in the Jungle of Ari. Though he would prefer to forget, he is in fact a great war hero who was once responsible for saving the world. Now he wants nothing more than to live out the rest of his days in peace, away from anyone who knows who he really is.

He is half Hallitae-magus, on his father’s side, and half Umbrai Incola on his mother’s side.

He grew up in the frozen mountains of Iselda’s Crown. His father was a priest of Iselda and had his own church in the mountains.

Auren eventually became a priest in training, and loved to help people as best he could.

When his mother died of an illness, he was greatly distraught and ran away from home. After travelling for a few years, getting into some adventures and some trouble, he eventually joined an army and became a soldier. He spent many years as a soldier and rose up the ranks.

He was a General Commander of one of the armies that fought the invading Army of Nox, in the Shadows Wars, 30 years earlier. Through great courageous acts he was the key figure in bringing about the end to the wars and fighting back the invading army.

Among the members of the invading army were his estranged uncle Banethos Ellaison, and Banethos’ son, Trillas. Auren fought both his uncle and cousin at various points in the wars and eventually killed them both, causing him great distress.

He was held a hero by all, although after some time he eventually grew weary of the responsibilities and notoriety of being a great war hero, and he realised he wanted to go back to his roots and restore his faith in his religion, turning his back on the evils of war.

Now he lives as best he can in the Jungle of Ari (his father's birth place), haunted by the ghosts of war, trying to make peace with himself.

Until the day a boat crashes on the shores of Ari, and a young boy and girl come across the reclusive war hero…
