Eredin Selû'Valar (EH-reh-din seh-LOO vah-LAHR)

Eredin is a warrior shaped by loss, scarred both in body and spirit. As a child, he grew up alongside his closest friend and first love, Vela. Their lives were shattered when an enemy force attacked their home, leaving Eredin gravely wounded—an injury that would mark him for life. The scars became a constant reminder of the people he failed to protect, fueling the belief that he was the sole survivor. Grief hardened into a relentless drive for vengeance.   In the years that followed, Eredin devoted himself to combat, honing his body and mind until he became a formidable fighter with a singular purpose: to destroy those who had taken everything from him. But fate intervened. Reunited with Vela after years apart, he discovered she had forged a bond with one of his sworn enemies—a guardian from the very people he blamed for his loss. The revelation shook the foundations of his beliefs, forcing him to confront the truth that vengeance alone would not heal him.   At first, resentment and jealousy clouded his judgment. He wrestled with the thought of what could have been, feeling robbed of the chance to stand at Vela’s side in the role he once imagined for himself. Yet battle has a way of forging bonds stronger than hatred. Over time, Eredin came to respect her guardian not as a rival, but as a comrade—an equal who shared her burdens and protected her with the same fierce loyalty he felt.   Though the path was not easy, Eredin remained one of Vela’s most steadfast protectors and closest confidants, their connection deepening despite the changes time had wrought. His journey is one of reconciliation and growth, a reminder that even when fate alters the course of our lives, it can still lead us to where we are meant to be.
