Character History:

   

   Adellan was born in a small town near Jehannah in Ghealdan.  His mother was a seamstress, and his father worked in the stables of a wealthy inn.  When Adellan was almost 5 years old, his father fell from the loft in the stables and broke his neck, which killed him instantly.  Adellan’s mother was able to provide for herself and her son, but only barely, and they were very poor.  Adellan couldn’t understand that the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, and as a young child began to believe that his mother or father must have done something to offend the Light, to cause such misfortune.  When his mother met and married a wealthy merchant, and the family moved to Jehannah, Adellan knew he’d been right, and the Light had decided the family had suffered enough for the dark deeds of the past.

   Living in Jehannah from the age of 11, Adellan met and befriended many wealthy boys of his own age.  A core group of friends was formed soon, and Adellan was happy to be part of the group.  They were very close, and told each other all about their lives as they explored the city together.  Some of them thought Adellan’s obsession with being careful to walk in the Light was amusing, but one, Dyllin, often became uneasy whenever the subject was broached.

   One day, when the boys had become men and were 19 years of age, Adellan caught Dyllin talking to some very unsavory, dirty-looking men in a dingy alley. When the men left, Adellan confronted his friend, and it came out that Dyllin was a darkfriend, as was his whole family. Adellan thought it his duty to bring his friend to justice, but Dyllin turned on Adellan.

   They fought in the alley, drawing daggers.  Adellan didn’t want to take his friend’s life, but Dyllin seemed to have no such restraints.  Adellan received a deep cut to the arm, and while he was doubled over in pain Dyllin ran for it.

   Adellan reported the family to the authorities, but the family, and Dyllin, had left the city speedily and were nowhere to be found.  Adellan, furious that he’d let a darkfriend get away, resolved to do better the next time. One day, he realized how he could do that.  Leaving home, he began his journey to the Fortress of the light, in Amador.  He plans to join the Children of the Light, to hunt down filth and darkfriends, serving the Light with his actions.

   Adellan is now a good way into Amadicia, and has been hearing that Amador is only a few days away.  As he draws nearer to his goal, he’s growing more and more excited for the new life he’ll lead.
