Personal history

Revecian is from a long line of birdkin that could bond with gryphons. While he was in the egg, his parent's village of Tarith was destroyed leaving him as the only survivor. He was found by the Aerivan gryphon, Aeros, and taken to his mother Ioniphel in the Gustvale clan. As a result of this encounter, a special bond between Revecian and Aeros started while he was still in the egg which gave the birdkin the special ability of healing. This is believed to be due to the two having noble heritages that were closely linked (Revecian being from a long line of gryphon bonders going back to the foundation of Veldera, Aeros being Avalest’s descendant as well as being a member of the Velderan royal gryphons). Revecian was hatched among the gryphons and was adopted by Est'en, a Velderan scientist who saw potential in Revecian, as Ioniphel wanted Revecian to be raised among the birdkin. Est'en took him to Velos, the capital of Veldera and where Revecian would spend his entire childhood and adolescence, attending school and receiving private tutoring from Est'en. Revecian has no memory of his past and his potential for special abilities, as they are kept secret for his protection.
