Valaron

The first Adumori-King of Cibowynn. He was crowned in 2 VA and ruled for thirty years until his death. He is acredited with the building the cities of Illandros and Valamar. He is founder of the Royal House Valaron.

Early Life
Valaron was born to a noble house in the true home of the elves, Natopia. He established his musical talents early on as well as his proficiency in magic at the Academy. When he was fifteen he helped an injured Vemori. He later turned out to be a prisoner and high ranking officer in the rebellion. He joined his father, Varos in the courts when he was older and expressed his outrage at the High King and his dreams of turning Natopia into a towering nation in the sea.

Pilgrimage to Cibowynn
A collapse in power coupled with a rebellion from the Adumori's cousins, the Vemori, caused Valaron's father to flee the city and voyage for a new land. Valaron helped his father gather ships and pilgrims for the journey ahead. On the Nyma Sea, three Vemori ships attacked the pilgrims, Valaron along with other spellcasters were able to destroy the enemy ships. A few Adumori were killed, including Varos.

Under Valaron's guidance the elves find new land and discover Cibowynn. Valaron is the first to step on shore and for five thousand years the Adumori referred to their chronology as VA, or Valaron's Arrival. The Adumori built homes on the beach from their ships and created the small village later to become Illandros.

Dark War
Two years after landing in Cibowynn, a Vemori warship found them and waged war. Valaron led his people against the enemy and the tides soon turned. The dark elves were forced into the forest. The war ended with the high elves destroying the Vemori army. A handful of Vemori lived on and escaped into the Underwood.

Crowning and Migration to Valamar
Valaron was hailed for his success and his people declared them his king. Before he agreed to be their king he said he must converse with  his god's. The spirit of Truanna visited him and told him to create a city in the trees. She blessed him with  a great power that allowed him to build it with magic.

He returned to his people and had them journey to his new city. Many of the elves stayed, but some returned with Valaron to build Illandros. He was crowned king in 3VA.

Rule
In the years following Valaron's crowning, the Nine cities were constructed. Emerite was discovered by the blacksmith Ethrin.

Valaron married Eilla and made her Queen. They had four sons.

Death
In 35 VA, Valaron was poisoned in his throne room and died with a smile on his face. His sons raged over the succession as King and plunged their House into a civil war known as the Valaronian War.

Legacy
Valaron established an Adumori presence in Cibowynn and his bloodline continued to rule the continent for thousands of years.

Many of his descendants became heroes, such as: Aeson, Besaris the Brave, Vondorion, Vannifyr, and Raeden.

Many songs have been written about him and his courage. A statue stands in Illandros at the edge of the city. There is also a similar statue in Valamar's high reach as well as the Hall of Legends.

His diary was discovered by Valaren in 3014 VA.

Valaron's armory was discovered by Prince Vannifyr in 4980 VA.
