 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.
