Character Summary: (cw: mentions of murder, child death)

Born the eldest of three, on the isle-state of Selโ€™enial, Eridanus was gifted from an extremely young age. Aptitude in the arcane was a phenomena that manifested by chance more so than bloodline, and of the three boys, Eridanus was the only one to develop a proficiency in magic. His parents saw the opportunity presented to them, as they were natural-born nobility, any advantage within the courts they had, they would take; and having a first-born heir manifest arcane ability was a bartering bonus for their social status. Due to this, Eridanus was raised within a strict rule-set, unlike his brothers, and not allowed much else outside of his studies. While Eridanus was made to scribe and read ancient Rim'falen texts, as well as channel his innate magical abilities, his brothers were allowed to follow their own passions.

Once both of his brothers left home in pursuit of their own lives' callings, Eridanus was made to go off to the capital of the human kingdom, where he was expected to train beneath the best of the human mages, known as the Tower of Xemorn. Even miles away from his home state, the restrictions placed upon Eridanus were felt. He was guarded at nearly all hours of the day, most of which were spent holed up in stuffy libraries. It was only on rare occasions where he could sneak away, and on one such occasion, he even met his first wife. Their marriage was short-lived, however, as after falling pregnant and birthing their child, she was assassinated. The culprit behind his wife's death was his father, in the end, who had paid for it to happen when he found out that Eridanus had eloped. The child, at the very least, was hidden and unharmedโ€”though Eridanus soon had to arrange for his child to be adopted by someone who could take the boy far away and keep him safe.

He then spent the next several centuries of his life training under various mages, both human and Rim'falen alike, until a demonic invasion threatened the sanctity of the city. While the Tower of Xemorn were prepared to fight the legions, and had created magical auras that would harm any demons that entered the city, they also evacuated most of the city's inhabitants. Despite this, legions were not deterred, managing to force their way in, kill the mages maintaining the auras, and staking claim to a powerful book that would be able to bring an arch-demon to the mortal plains.

While the legion prepared to summon the arch-demon into the world using the book, surviving mages of the Tower of Xemorn had teleported in an army. Though they tried to stop the summoning at all costs, ultimately the Tower's armies failed. Successfully summoned, the arch-demon completely destroyed Dalanar, claiming its annihilation heralded the demon's first strike against the mortal world.

After the fall of Dalanar, surviving mages - including vessels of the Tower - picked up what few pieces they could salvage of the city. Rather than help his brethren in magic, though, Eridanus decided to return to his homeland, Sel'enial. He knew the legions weren't finished, which meant Sel'enial needed all the protection it could get. It would be another few decades before Eridanus would see those armies once more, and while he had pledged his loyalties to the Rim'falen state, he busied himself by passing on his knowledge to future generations. He made a quiet home for himself in the state's capital, and for a moment, found peace in teaching children the wonders of magic.

But the peace wouldn't last, with the day those armies invaded Selโ€™enial being the last of Eridanus' dreams for a happy future. Despite the vast knowledge and training he had spent his life accumulating, it was not enough to stop the encroaching armies from taking hundreds of thousands of Rim'falen lives. Eridanus scorched wave after wave of undead forces, yet still they marched upon the city. By the end of the day, his students, his youngest brother, and many of his friends had been slaughtered in the attack. The life he had lived up until that point, was shattered.

Few Rim'falen remained, and from the ashes of their city, they began to reforge their state once more. Eridanus began anew, like the phoenix of his family's crest, he was reborn once more. No longer the kindhearted, and bright-eyed elf he was before, Eridanus was appointed the title "Archmage" for his efforts in battle. As their city was rebuilt, the ruling government beneath the Regent-lord, the Magistrate, took on more and more of the state's responsibilities.

From apprentice to some of the greatest mages in history, to teacher of fresh young minds - few would have guessed that Eridanus would settle into a desk job. Though with Sel'enial needing to be rebuilt, he (happily) took on the responsibility of handling the licensing of businesses within the state. It was taxing work, nothing fun in the slightest, but even great magical kingdoms needed desk jockeys.

Eridanus would have this job to thank, for landing him his second wife.

Through calculation and some deep digging, he easily found a way to exploit her business' malpractice, and wiggle his way into her life. How romantic. Yet, they were both dastardly perfect for one another, and wedding bells quickly followed, as well as a daughter.

While Eridanus had not expected a marriage of love, and another child in his life, he found himself quite happy despite all the turmoil the world had thrown at him. He'd even reconnected with his first son, who had joined the Sel'enial knighthood prior to Prince Arsath's attack, and managed to survive.

Yes, everything was looking up! But this time, Eridanus would do anything to keep it that way.
