Mental characteristics

Personal history

Early Life:

Born in Vorithra’s Kaerith Highlands, Eldris Vey’an displayed an early aptitude for the Veil’s energies. Raised within the Veyd Order, he trained under forgemasters skilled in kaerine and veylith, mastering forge techniques by his youth. His meditations on Veil Nodes sharpened his perception, distinguishing him among acolytes.

Ascension in the Order:

Vey’an rose to forgemaster after decades of service, tasked with arming Veyd protectors. He shifted from older kaerine weapons to the Noctran Blade, driven by his vision. His forge on the Eryndor Plateau became a center for crafting these blades, using local materials to channel Veil power.

The Prophecy:

During a meditation while forging, Vey’an received a vision etched into Vorithra’s tablets: “When the Veil hungers, a devourer stirs—scaled in shadow, eyes of void. From ash and stillness, two eagles rise—wings of gleam, talons forged unyielding. Fang rends skull, and the beast lies broken. The galaxy exhales, its breath a storm. Two stand as wards—the rift mends, yet echoes linger forevermore.” He interpreted this as a warning of the Draethar’s Veil corruption—the devourer—threatening galactic stability. The “eagles” were Veyd champions, their “fang” the Noctran Blade he crafted to oppose Acaron’s rites. This vision shaped his later work, aligning the Veyd against the Draethar.

Passing:

Vey'an died peacefully on Vorithra, some claimed that: "it was as if a star had dimmed in the galaxy." His death was marked by a phenomenon rarely witnessed: a meteor shower that many believed to be the heavens paying homage to the master Forgemaster. His Vyrion Blades became highly sought-after relics, each carrying the final whispers of a man who had shaped the very fabric of the galaxy.

In death, Eldris Vey'an's story is not one of silence but a continuing whisper that inspires and guides those who continue to seek the light amidst the shadows of the galaxy. His legacy lives on in the weapons he forged, the wisdom he imparted, and the peace he envisaged for a universe in turmoil.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Vey’an’s key achievement was forging the first Noctran Blade, a weapon designed to fulfill his prophecy. His work armed the Veyd, strengthening their stance against the Draethar. The prophecy tablets, preserved until Vorithra’s fall, influenced Veyd strategy, though their interpretation remained open to debate.

Morality & Philosophy

Vey’an prioritized balance over aggression, seeing the Veil as a resource for stability. He opposed the Draethar’s blood rites, believing they corrupted the Veil—his Noctran Blades were tools to restore order, not symbols of light or dark. His philosophy centered on craft as protection.
