Past:

Elias and his people, (called many different titles but mostly Skywardens, Alerionites, or Alerian Warriors) originate from their own land, a kingdom named Aleria, floating high in the sky. This ethereal place is one of the three main pillars, or foundations, of Eldoria, dedicated to maintaining the realm’s secrecy and security. The inhabitants of this sky kingdom are a secluded and serious people, some of the realms most highly skilled warriors, deeply committed to their duty. They are descendants of Alerion, the great bird god of the sky, wisdom, and guardianship. Alerion is revered as a majestic, colossal eagle with feathers that shimmer like the golden rays of the sun. He embodies freedom, knowledge, and protection, guiding his people to uphold these virtues.

From a young age, Elias was raised as a fierce and loyal warrior, training rigorously with the hope of being selected by Alerion himself to become a guardian. However, it was Elias's brother, Valen, who was chosen to be a guardian, a decision that left Elias feeling a mixture of pride and unfulfilled duty. Unable to accept a life without purpose, he made the difficult decision to leave his home in the skies. He descended to the land below to protect the grand palace, Luminara Keep, where the royal family welcomed him into their ranks as an unofficial guardian.

Here, Elias dedicated himself to defending Eldoria from any threats, using his skills and training to uphold the values of his people and the legacy of his divine ancestor, Alerion. Elias found a new sense of purpose. Although not officially recognized as a guardian, his presence at Luminara Keep became a crucial element in the defense of Eldoria. His actions have earned him respect and admiration, even as he continues to navigate the complexities of his unique position within the realm.
