A young elf that was born in the war-torn elven village of Elarion to
a family three of boys. Nikhil was the youngest by a number of years
to his two brothers Jonik and Venali. His father, Faelyn Yeoz, was a
of noble warrior of Elarion and a Protector of the Oryth'Eldaer, and his
mother Aila was an well-known ranger and keeper of lore. Due to the
nature of the situation in the village of Elarion, his parents brought taught
him and his brothers in the arts of war and hunting. As soon as Nikhil
learned to swing a wooden sword,his parents left Elarion with him and
his brother in search of a place to raise them. Then ended up in the
underground elven city of Lennaes. Lennaes was refuge to many elves
fleeing the goblin raids within middle Earth.
Even though the city of Lennaes was safer than Elarion, Nikhil and his
brothers were constantly sent outside of the city to find food and scout
for bands of goblins. They were tasked with defending the outter edges of
Lennaes and maintaining a food source for the elves whom had other
occupations within Lennaes. It was during this duty that Nikhil learned
much about preservation of life and hope for better days. It was not
uncommon through his daily shifts of watch that he would lose a fellow
warrior to the goblin raids, and hope of better times was slim. Even
though things were grim, Nikhil, his brothers, and his father Faelyn carried
onward with their task. It wasn’t until one foggy morning when he and
his brothers were crossing a bog and were ambushed by a band of goblins,
that things changed forever. Nikhil and his brothers were greatly out
numbered, and Jonik and Venali perrished in battle protecting Nikhil.
Nikhil was stricten with guilt because his brothers sacrificed thier lives
to save him, and he would have rather fallen with them then return to
Lennaes.
Nikhil was determined to improve the conditions outside of Lennaes, and
began studying the art of warfare ferverously. He was already an
accomplished swordsman, but became an expert of battle tactics. He led
numerous waves of attacks on the gobins near Lennaes and with each wave
they moved further and further beyond the walls of Lennaes. After nearly
five years, it was uncommon to find a single goblin with miles of the hidden
city and the idea of hiding was nearly eradicated. Lennaes soon after became
a jovial city, and home to many of elven kinship.
A few years later, Nikhil and his parents returned to Elarion to rebuild the
village and strengthhen the presence of the Oryth'Eldaer there. Nikhil led
the Elarion guard and trained young warriors in the art of battle and
warfare, much of which he learned defending Lennaes. His name was well
known among noble warriors and many flocked to Elarion just to train
and learn under him. As Nikhil aged, he turned over his training duties to
the young warriors and left Elarion in search of kinship in need. His travels
led him to Thera where the lands grew dark and scarce. Once booming with
adventurers, Thera had grown cold as did it’s people. Through his interactions,
Nikhil brought hope to the lands and the people.
One day while on an adenture with a noble paladin, he heard whispers from
the spirits of his brothers Jonik and Venali which lead him to Lord Adorno’s
Shrine. Upon entering the garden of life, he found his two brothers standing
on either side of Lord Adorno beaming with joy. His brother Jonik said, “Your
brother Venali and I are very proud of you brother, as are mother and father.
Today is a great day, you will serve our name and the Oryth'Eldaer for eternity.”
Lord of Adorno raised his hand conjuring a bright white ball of light, and said,
“It is time Nikhil for you to come with me, there is work to do.” The light flashed,
and everything went white. Sometime later Nikhil “woke up” in the heavens.
Since that day, Nikhil is dedicated to his teachings and fulfilling Lord Adorno’s
divine prophecy of him.
