Selanar Vaeluthis is a disciplined and honorable knight-Squire from the Kingdom of Arethane, sworn to uphold justice and protect the people of Newhaven, the capital of the Barony of the Vale. Born to a family of warriors, Selanar was raised with a deep respect for tradition and the ideals of chivalry. While his Elven heritage is well-known, his service under a human knight has helped shape him into a more practical, humble, and effective defender of the realm. From a young age, Selanar was trained in the martial arts, focusing on swordsmanship and tactics. His natural agility, honed by years of disciplined practice, made him a skilled combatant. However, it was his steadfast sense of duty that set him apart. He embodies the core values of his order, honor, justice, and loyalty, and approaches his work with a calm, measured resolve. Though his mentor is Sir Aidan Rowley, a human Guard Lieutenant of Newhaven, Selanar holds a deep respect for him. Sir Aidan's leadership and pragmatic approach to knighthood have helped Selanar grow beyond his youthful idealism, teaching him that chivalry is not only about adhering to a code but also knowing when to bend it for the greater good. Their relationship is one of mutual respect, with Sir Aidan acting as a guiding figure to help Selanar find balance between his Elven sense of honor and the more nuanced realities of the world. Selanar's role in Newhaven is multifaceted. As a Squire, he serves Sir Aidan in various capacities, whether in the field, on guard duty, or assisting with the defense of the town from external threats. Though still learning, Selanar has already earned the admiration of his fellow guards, who recognize his dedication and keen mind. He is often found on patrol, ensuring that the people of Newhaven are safe from bandits and threats, his Elven longsword always at his side. While his discipline makes him a formidable warrior, Selanar's true strength lies in his unwavering commitment to justice. His presence commands respect, not through fear, but through his integrity and reliability. Though he is still young and has much to learn, his heart is in the right place, and his desire to protect the innocent drives him forward. In his downtime, Selanar is approachable, though reserved. He enjoys the camaraderie of his fellow guards and has begun to forge a few close friendships, though the cultural divide between his background and residents of Newhaven sometimes leaves him feeling like an outsider. Nevertheless, he is always ready to offer aid to those in need and is known for his quiet acts of kindness, whether it's helping a struggling merchant or offering guidance to younger guards. Despite the challenges he faces in balancing his Elven heritage with his duties as a knight in a back-water town, Selanar remains resolute. His loyalty to his knight, Sir Aidan, and to the people of Newhaven is unshakable. He knows that true strength isn't just in the blade he wields, but in his capacity to serve with honor and wisdom. |
