Syelros, The Ender

When the Vavanasai was activated and the Oldavori Empire crumbled, Horauthin was brought back into the fold with his siblings. Watching his children suffer meant he had atoned for his sins. But their suffering did not simply end there. Their own abominable creations now wandered the wastes, the Psyflayers. They would begin using the remnant Colossals as the foundation and fertiliser to grow their own empire from the snowy wastes, far away from the eyes of Men. One warrior, the Colossal would be reborn as Syelros, did not let this happen.

Though his kin argued against him, wanting the Psyflayers to wreak havoc upon the lands of Men and Elves who had caused their own suffering. But Syelros did not waiver, if the Psyflayers were left unchecked, they would continue to grow, devouring what little was left of the Colossals and then Tharador at large, with no land left for them to inherit or fight for again in the future. He instilled hope in his comrades, and called upon the blessing of Horauthin to light the way for them in battle, to find their den within the city of Seto and destroy it.

So Horauthin did, and with his aid their weapons were wreathed in flames and they marched for days to their fallen city in Seto. The Psyflayers held a strong defense against them, killing thousands of the remaining Colossals, but ultimately fell to sheer numbers alone. Their fortress was destroyed completely, and their incubation chambers and hosts were set ablaze. Those that lived escaped to Duoarastat, but hundreds were slain before the retreat was sounded, and a loss of so many incubation pods meant an extremely slow process for them to rebuild from their ruin.

Syelros however could not bask in the glory of their victory. He sustained wounds from the psionic beings of which no healer or wisewoman could bring him back from. He passed a day after the city of Seto was retaken, and a statue of him still stands in its centre today. But that is all a distant memory for him now. For as he stood infront of Horauthin in Syelden, he commanded he be sent back to continue the fight against the Flayers. Though Horauthin could not grant such a power, he did grant him the chance to be reborn as a Selvaneri, and his champion. A weapon of war to be used in the direst of times for when Horauthin saw fit, and the fabric of Tharador was at risk. So he answered the call, putting aside his ancient hatred of Men and Elves, learning to live, fight and bleed for the betterment of all the land instead.

In many great battles against evil through the years, Syelros has fought. Sometimes in a mundane form, disguised as a soldier or paladin. Other times in his full divine glory, as a messenger of death against Mindoriel's ilk. Now evil stirs within Belfrie once again, and Syelros is sent to put a swift end to it.
