Faranis Dawnflight

"Evil surrounds the world as war edges closer to hearth and home, and when the sun is extinguished who will be left to carry the torch of hope when we have long passed?"

- Faranis Dawnflight of Scyeria

Faranis Dawnflight, also known as the Last Ember is the current Lord of the Shattered Dawn and second-hand to Aresithas Skyfire, the concurrent ruler of the The Unity. He was born to the branch family of House Skyfire which was known as House Dawnflight and thus had little attention from the nobility of the realm until his relative and friend Aresithas took the throne of the Empire and enacted reforms to starve off stagnation and rejuvenated the Legions that defended the ancient land.

As the Aiscorian Alliance and the Shattered Pact are torn asunder, Faranis becomes one of the foremost commanders of The Unity and is sent to Arcadia to secure its allegiance to the faction, fighting in the Arcadian Civil War fought between the two contenders to the throne and doing his part for the glory of the Eternal Empire.

Young Life
Faranis was born decades before the twilight of the third era to the household of Dawnflight, third-son of the current Archon and oldest to Aerilaya Dawnflight and Eliyen Dawnflight. Faranis had little importance to the household until the passing of his older brothers in the chaos that leaped around the Eternal Land, and saw him recieve formal training in statecraft and arts of war that would forever change his destiny.

Faranis young life would change drastically afterwards, as Aresithas elevated the household of Dawnflight to full-fledge nobility that received its number of criticism and applause from the other houses and so was sent to the Palemane Academy to be extensively taught in the ways of magic; and through this training he became more attuned to the ancient lore of the sun, the fire, the flame. He would spend years among the Palemanes, whom were the wisest of the houses and the most fiercely guarded of their knowledge to outsiders and master the arts at an unexpected rate until the call to arms were sounded and it was learned that Aresithas was planning an expedition to the far north to combat and destroy the Order of the Eleventh Sun and Val'gor Soulfury before he could unleash a dark evil, and this was done without waiting for the 'pact' to send assistance. Faranis would depart the warmth and learned estate of the academy to assist Aresithas, serving as one of his Red Guard (His companions)

Northern Expedition
"When we sailed north to confront Soulfury, we sailed with purpose on our shoulders..but did we go to war for the right reasons?"

- Written account of Faranis Dawnflight



The Scyerian Expedition would arrive in the far north just shortly after the Eleventh Sun had arrived and arrayed themselves in pincer battles simply to buy time for the Deceiver to open the Soulfury Crypt and obtain the power necessary to end his once-time friend and now archrival and bury Aiscoria in his darkness. Faranis was deployed with several thousands of the best swords in the Empire and fought numerous small-scale battles against the Orcs of the Wolfclaw, Darkwind Elves and the fearsome Frost Giants that fell under the enemy sway. During one of these engagements, his sword would enter the flesh of another victim to his battle prowess and catch the eye of the dance of swords conducted by another of his soldiers, lightly armored yet seemed invincible to any sword, arrow or spear that was sent against her. After the engagement they would meet and she would give herself as Lilenn Mirthheart of House Carious-Tetorian. Taken with the prowess of the young women, he would continue to serve with her through the next few battles until the army edged closer to the crypt and the true core of Val'gor traitorous army.

Before battle would commence, the pause gave Faranis time to survey the surrounding areas and came upon materials that proved more durable then Arcstone of Arcadia and hardened overtime by the elements, Ithilia he would dub thy and have it harvested just before battle was engaged between the Expedition and the Soulfury army at the base of the crypt, he fought alongside Lilenn and the Red Guard as they fought towards the best the enemy had to offer as they rushed to assist Aresithas whom had began dueling Val'gor with the Soulbinder.
