Ser Vailen
Ser Vailen is a revered paladin of The Church of Tiran and the last known wielder of Tiran's Shield. Together with Ser Fyrian and Ser Berod he retrieved Tiran's Shield from The Crimson Hand, a cult dedicated to the worship of The Crimson Queen who attempted to destroy the shield, allowing their goddess back into the mortal plane.
Vailen was born in the year 17 AoD in The Free City of Vynn. He never met his parents to left him in the care of The Church of Tiran as a sickly newborn. Despite his bleak prospects of survival, the church's healers worked tirelessly to ensure this child would have a chance at life, and so he did.
He was raised in the monastery and received a full education on Tiran's doctrine, which deeply resonated with him. He swore to become a bastion of Tiran's Light, championing his principles of Honor, Duty and Honesty. Becoming a paladin was the natural next step, and so Vailen became Ser Vailen and henceforth dedicated his life to bringing light to others, as others had brought onto him.
The Quest of Tiran's Shield
In the year 57 AoD, Tiran's Keep was the target of a furtive attack in which Tiran's Shield, the church's most significant artifact, was stolen. Ser Vailen, along with the other members of Tiran's Three, traced the heist to a low nobleman, Straum Elkander.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, they stormed Elkander's estate where they uncovered The Crimson Hand's plot to destroy Tiran's Shield and free their goddess from its grasp. Through great effort, they put an end to this nefarious plan, defeating Straum Elkander and returning Tiran's Shield to its rightful place in the Tiran's Keep reliquary, under the watchful eye of their order.
Their heroic deeds earned them a place in the keep's hall of heroes, their likeness immortalized forever in its marble halls.
