Biography #
Early Life #
Caelum was born into the powerful Crimsonclaw family during the oppressive rule of his father, Vorthar Crimsonclaw. Vorthar’s reign, marked by tyranny and the influence of the dark god Zaroth, plunged Valora into what would later be known as the Shadowed Age. Caelum’s mother, Alanna Faelanwood, secretly instilled in him a sense of compassion and independence, which would shape his future leadership. Witnessing his father’s cruelty and manipulation under Zaroth’s influence, Caelum grew to resent the Crimsonclaw legacy.
The Shadowed Age #
As Zaroth’s influence over Vorthar deepened, Valora fell into chaos. Vorthar’s ambition led to the creation of the Triple Crown, an artifact that fused divine essence with dark corruption. Empowered by this crown, Vorthar enforced his reign through violence and terror. Caelum, disillusioned with his father’s rule, quietly aided other families like the Silverwater and Goldheart houses in resisting Zaroth’s spread of darkness.
The Battle of the Scarred Wastes #
Caelum’s defining moment came during the Battle of the Scarred Wastes, a climactic event where Vorthar Crimsonclaw was killed, and Zaroth was seemingly defeated. After Vorthar’s death, Caelum retrieved the Triple Crown, which had been corrupted by Zaroth’s influence. Using a white crystal discovered in the Scarred Wastes, Caelum purified the Triple Crown, restoring its divine essence. During this battle, he also claimed Corruption’s Edge, the sword that now held Zaroth’s solidified essence.
Founding of the Valorborn Family #
After the battle, Caelum stood before the great families of Valora, denouncing the Crimsonclaw name. In a symbolic ceremony, he took on the name Valorborn, representing his commitment to unity, justice, and a new era of peace. Donning the purified Triple Crown, Caelum became the unifier of Valora during the Age of Restoration. His leadership brought an end to the Shadowed Age and marked the beginning of a more hopeful future for the realm.
