History: The son of the King Elyan Herculides VIII, Elyan is the ninth in line from the first Elyan Herculides, who was the son of the mighty warrior Hercules (not the Roman mythical hero, but one of the same name) who, according to legend, saved Avaren from a terrible fate and married Princess Alexandra Avaren, who was then the Heir to the Throne.
Elyan grew up in a relatively peaceful era. Besides a few thieves which were easily stopped, Avaren had seen absolutely no 'War' for fifty years. Despite the state of peace, Elyan was forced by his royal father into the extreme martial training of a Warrior Prince, along with participation in the required military service of an Avaren male, where he served as a squire and later a knight alongside his best friend, Thurel Derufin. Thurel was 2 years older than him, and usually acted like the mature one. After the death of his father and his ascension to the throne, he was royally married to a noble lady by the name of Rianne Tanith. He deeply cherished her and desired a family with her, but after a year and a half of childless marriage, events in Avaren led to his forced seperation from his wife and exile from his kingdom.
For many years he has been living in the mountains on the borders of Avaren, etching out a living and dreaming of a day when he can return to his kingdom...and his love, wherever she may be.
