Aeolith Zinwain

When Alverion descended from the heavens to save humanity, he was met at first with doubt from almost everyone. He had not yet shown his true power and the people were too lost in their own struggle to see the hope he represented. The one exception was Aeolith Zinwain. He would later say that when he first encountered Alverion, he immediately knew he was standing in the presence of a divine being. In that moment, Aeolith committed himself to Alverion's will. The first task was to assemble the The Righteous, and Aeolith worked tirelessly to complete his divine mission. Even before shadow descended on the old world, the people were far from united. Aeolith would distinguish himself as a master stateman and ambassador both before and during the war. He soothed the fears of the people who had spent their lives under threat of sky tribe raiding parties. He convinced rival kings to work together. He got the common peasant and the highest noble to fight side by side. For every potential conflict among the disparate people of the old world, Aeolith had an answer. Alverion did not need the people to defeat the Shix, but every faction Aeolith persuaded to join was another group of souls brought into the glory of Alverion's light. When The Righteous stood victorious in their new world of Bastion, Alverion turned first to Aeolith and said, "Aeolith Zinwain, my first and most loyal worshiper. Your grace and intellect saved a great multitude of souls. So many would be lost in the darkness had you not brought them to my light. For your great service, you shall sit on the throne of Nove Rezaan and sit at my right hand as my Vicar of Light. For your great loyalty, you and your new subjects shall be remade in the image of your superb character." In that moment the Arlvar race was born, with Aeolith Zinwane as its Prime.
