A young and naive commander, Illidan is the first son of Fungeiton. Born in Strombran, Atamara, he has high hopes of attaining the power he feels destined to control.

Childhood

However, upon hearing that a son of Fungeiton had been born several attempts were made on the child's life, but all were unsuccessful. Fungeiton believed the attacks were most likely due to disputed debts owed by the Raynor family to a local noble. This belief was verifyed when, at 6 years old, word spread that the rival and wealthy noble - afraid Fungeiton could use his son to gain control over his domain - had hired a band of mercenaries to assassinate Illidan and destroy his family's home.

Tragic Loss Of Family

Lucikly for Illidan, a spy gave of the imminent attack and Illidan was placed in an empty ale barrel destined for Corniel in the realm of Falasan. Meanwhile, Fungeiton stayed behind with his wife and their 8 guards to protect their fortified manor house. A battle ensued which at first was favouring the Raynor family. Of the 18 assassins sent, 5 were killed by arrow fire on approach to the manor house and 2 more were killed by stones thrown as they tried to scale the walls with a ladder during which time only 2 Raynor guards had succumb to arrow fire. Eventually, the walls were scaled and in the fierce hand-to-hand combat which followed, Fungeiton, his wife and the remaining 4 guards were killed.

A New Life In Falasan

Illidan however had escaped and some time later he successfully reached Corniel. Still being hunted by the forces of his father's rival, he was discovered wandering the streets and taken under the wing of a sympathetic local noble who continued Illidan’s education in the ways of combat until his coming of age at 17. This occured in May of the year 2006.

Since his arrival in Corniel, Illidan has shown great loyality to his adopted realm and hopes to earn his fame, fortune and most importantly, power, by banquishing the enemies of Falasan from Atamara. In order to acheive these, he has recruited a unit of fierce troops named the Children of Pheonix who will fight for Falasan against her enemies.
