Scion Calanar (The Wolf)
The Beginning
Scion is a bit different from most. He is a reluctant hero who learned the arts of trade, combat, and a bit of strategy. His family hails from the Grand Lodge, but he didn't fit in with the family. In order to avoid his family he became a trader for a while.
He went back and forth trading goods. Once when he was carrying a valuable shipment he was attacked by bandits. Only Scion and his body guard Mark survived the attack. Not wanting to return in shame Scion cut off all connections with his family and wandered as a mercenary for a couple of years. During this time he wandered the Far East as a ruthless killer. The way he killed got him the title as The Wolf. He trained in the art of blind fighting which greatly heightened his senses as well. Eventually he ended up killing someone he cared about and realized the problems with the path he walked. Unfortunately he couldn't return to a life of trading, and has since forgotten all of his trading knowledge.
In a state of depression he wandered the Far East until he came to a strange forest in Ahael. In the forest he found a spring. It was here he learned to worship the Wind God Aeolus and found his sword Storm Caller. He rarely drew this sword, but used it as a reminder. He then set off to atone for his crimes and seek a better life. This path led him to Nighthelm.
Nighthelm
Nighthelm had a rough start for Scion, but eventually he found his place. For a while it was among the ~V~ Hall. That held until he got into a disagreement with the Founder and left. According to his friend Senoske, his name is known throughout the south as the man who survived Arkenine. He had been nearly killed by that blade, but in an unlikely event he pulled through. His life had a small purpose, but not one he cared for.
He fought in a few battles here and there, particularly the Batesaor War, which wiped out the realm Batesaor, and put the lands under Nighthelm control. It was in this war he first met the lady Laura, the Princess of Thieves. She decided he was worthy of the title thief, and is now a good friend of Scion.
Resurfaced Past
For a while there was a short pause in Scion's career. A time where he didn't do much, and there was no fighting. This changed when an old man appeared on his doorstep and took Storm Caller from Scion. The man instead gave Scion his old mercenary sword. This was the sword he left behind when he found Storm Caller. Scion dueled the man and broke Storm Caller with his old sword. The man took the pieces and left. Vjaya the Soul Splitter was in his hands once again.
Scion began to train for a while, and participated in Nighthelm's first tournament. It was there he beat Senoske, and then beat him twice more outside of the tournament. This meant that Scion was getting very skilled with a sword. After Scion, Senoske, and Gomorrah had built the Brotherhood of the Black Rose, Scion dueled Senoske once more and was wounded by Arken in the same place Arkenine had wounded him before. This immediately brought Scion to terms with most of his past, and allowed him to use his evil side when he needed to. This put him at a greater risk of becoming evil, but it was worth it. The dark scar of Arkenine was gone.
Another event that holds some sway to Scion is the rebellion in the Grand Lodge of Lunaria. The result put a man named Brian in power, but within a few days Scion's brother, Ziode, had taken control, and that had made Scion part of the Royal Family of the Grand Lodge. He didn't care for it, but that was how things went.
Balance
In a war that spread throughout the Far East Scion traveled north to aid Svunnetland. Eventually he ended up in Ahael. It was then he decided to revisit the forest and the spring. He faced his darknesses and learned the true path of his religion. Balance. He now understood that everything in life balanced out somewhere. His armor and cloak are now gray, and his eyes changed from brown to gray as well. Gray is the balance between Black and White which represent Evil and Good. Also, Scion no longer has his evil side anymore. It has vanished into the mists of time, and only under moments of extreme anger for him would you ever know that that kind of evil lay within him.
Questions
Scion has difficulty understanding exactly who he is. He even wonders where his path will take him in life. So far it only seems to have become more clouded. He sometimes wonders if he has to settle a few things from his past in order to see the future ahead of him. Also, since he knows about the balance of order and chaos, he wonders if he'll ever end up fighting for evil again to preserve that balance.
The Long Road Ahead
Scion has fought for Nighthelm for a while now. His life seemed to be repetitive, but there were forces at work that changed everything.
The Princess of Thieves, Laura, had asked him to help her meet with Ziode so that she could build her guild, The Order of Thieves. Scion met her at the tournament, and although the guild was never built, he had fallen in love with Laura, and a close relationship had begun. For a little while someone was disrupting tournaments and giving out free gold. This happened at both the Lunarian and Antozan tournaments. Scion was given a large sum of gold at the second one. He used that and a big favor from his friends Gul'Dan and Senoske to build the first guild hall for The Order of Thieves.
Another event that occured was the unknown return of Nobdy. If this was true, then Scion was far from done with the Chaos Requiem. He still had to beat Nobdy and see to it that this time he stayed dead.
Trouble in Paradise
Scion kept things in his life well under control for the most part, but there were little things that always came up, and eventually big things.
There was the persecution of Communionism. This lead to a lot of support when Antoza Commonwealth asked for help in destroying the League of Anacan. Once again he was forced to fight. After a while a surprising number of allies came to help. Even Lunaria moved to help its allies.
Times became more difficult though as the closed markets in Anacan caused lots of starvation among the peasants. Laura left Nighthelm to join Anacan to help the people. While there though, she became seriously ill and Scion had to chase her across Anacan, Antoza Commonwealth and into the Sanctum of Casshern. Following this and Laura's recovery he proposed to her, but she turned him down on an official marriage. Instead, right there, they mixed blood and pledged their love to each other. Unfortunately, Laura was not allowed to rejoin Nighthelm, so Scion has to visit her whenever he can.
A Crack in the Southern Alliance
Not long after an argument broke out between Lunaria and Soliferum. They fought over a secret attack by Lunaria to take their lands, and their alliance ended. Should a war break out the entire Southern Alliance could collapse.
Scion's Revenge
Still during rough times Scion goes to the mountains or Razrpot to help out Senoske. He traveled with Cesari as well and the journey went well at first. However, Nobdy and the traitor Jinai wanted an axe from the temple armory. Scion fought long and hard, and eventually beat Nobdy. This resulted in the balance of his body. The darkness was gone, and so was his paladin heritage. Vjaya, the sword he had long owned was shattered, and Senoske was almost killed. Nobdy, however, did get his axe, and no one knows where that will lead.
A Crack in the Southern Alliance (Continued)
More unrest was slowly developing however, and war is on the horizon. Soliferum has begun causing trouble and arrested several Nighthelm priests. Other issues came up as well and the alliance finally began to deteriorate. Lunaria was becoming more involved and many had finally become fed up with everything.
The Southern Alliance is Broken
Finally Nighthelm could no longer take it and began to march on Soliferum. While this is happening Colosan, seceeded from Lasanar and another realm was formed. The entire continent was being dragged into war. War erupted everywhere. Zonasa, Svunnetland, and Greater Aenilia decided that Nighthelm was their enemy. Defended by Antoza and Casshern, the lands of Nighthelm are protected. Scion watched as Lunaria and Nighthelm sent many soldiers to their deaths through bad leadership. Lunaria shifted things by taking Azohib, however, Soliferum responded by taking Todtpiz. Lasanar had threats, and Ethiala kept the far north out.
Scion had troubles of his own. A meeting of the minds of him and Fredrick resulted in another blow against evil, but Scion was more concerned for Laura who hadn't been responding to his letters recently.
The Southern War
With the continent collapsing into chaos, Scion is looking to a quieter life. Antoza was forced out of helping by Lasanar, Casshern stood down, as well as Lunaria. Zonasa and Svunnetland, however, broke their promise and kept fighting leaving Nighthelm in a 3 vs. 1 war. Lunaria eventually rejoined in an assault on Osaliel. After 3 battles, Soliferum's army was nothing. A fourth due to some trickery by a Zonasan noble cost Nighthelm its army, and left Lunaria alone. They were forced to leave.
Once Lunaria controlled most of Soliferum, Soliferum sought peace from Lunaria. The peace treaty meant Sol's allies would leave the war and fight Nighthelm alone. In 3 days Soliferum broke the treaty when one of its nobles stole Cutnipaniel before it was to be returned.
The war progressively worsened with Greater Aenilia on the enemy side until Lasanar joined. It took 5 realms to beat the combined forces of Lunaria and Nighthelm. Nighthelm lost Batesaor and Hutael. Lunaria lost Azohib and Todtpiz.
Post War
Scion took a trip south shortly after the end of the war. At this time he'd been duke of Hatdhes, and recently revived the Lightning Raiders. A third encounter with Nobdy and accusations of him attacking general Celina left him somewhat bitter with Nighthelm. Laura had moved from Lunaria to Soliferum, so it was there that Scion traveled. For the first time he saw his children Waleran and Arya.
