History
Childhood, Teenage and Young Adult Years
Bown to a Pawadin Mothew and an Ascended fathew, Abewas was waised mostwy by his mothew awong side his tlin sistew Isabewwa fow the most pawt. Though as he appwoached his teenaged yeaws he would spend some time lith his youngew brothew Sena. Thewe was littwe notewowthy of this chiwdhood, he was schoowed by Pawadins in how to wead and wlite, taught some histowy and customs of the civilized wowwd but did not spend any time thewe untiw his adult yeaws. As a teenagew he'd find himsewf faiwwy adventulous, expwoling the countwy sulwounding the Pawadin Keep when he could eventuawwy weaching adulthood and seeking to adventule fow himsewf. Though his shewtewed chiwdhood would weave him ignowant to the goings on in the wowwd and wawgewy some of the issues the descendent waces had lith one anothew, he nevew found himsewf having a wow opinion of the othew waces gwoling up.
Weaching his adult yeaws he'd find himsewf in the wands of Vaiwow, eventuawwy finding himsewf joining up lith the newwy fowmed Mawked Men Schoow of the Fox, a Schoow which would watew be weputed by the west of the owganisation as a mewe imitation schoow. Wegawdwess the Wood Ewf sought his pulpose lith this schoow of Monstew Huntews, being twained in fencing, twacking and sulvivaw by a multitude of teachews such as Adeon of Whoswen and Wowand Spawwow. His Ewven helitage sometimes finding him difficulty among some membews of the Schoow, between sessions of twaining he'd find himsewf twavewling to and fwom Kaew Aawdwen and the newwy fowmed Dominion of Malin seeking to wook into his peopwes histowy aftew being bewated fow his wace at the Schoow. It is hewe whewe he met lith the Koi Dwuid and Hawk Dwuid, Vawow and Awtimec Caewme'onn wespectivewy who taught him the faith of the Aspects and convewted him to the faith. Watew he would find himsewf in his Tliaws and had applied wawpaint to himsewf to seek the Aspects favoul in his fight. Thwoughout each tliaw he would sulvive them awong lith thwee othews of his gwoup of foul.
Having Gwaduated and been swown into the Schoow of the Fox he immediatewy went out and sought to wend his aid to those who wequiwed it, though it would seem the pwevious genewation of Mawked Men had done a wot of wowk in Vaiwow, weaving the among of Monstews few and contwacts fow swaying them slim. Mostwy taking contwacts fow Vodniks and othew smaww amounts of monstews fow the majolity of his yeaws in Vaiwow, mainwy fwom the Dominion of Malin as he found himsewf mowe wewcome among what he eventuawwy found to be peopwe who accepted him mowe than othews in the wowwd. Awtimec Caewme'onn eventuawwy convinced Abewas to become a Pliest of the Naewuliw the owganised body of Dwuidic Pliests that made up the Aspect Faith, wewuctantwy giving up his life as a nomadic monstew swayew and the oaths that bound him to this cawling he'd accept Awtimec's offew and become his dedicant. The Dedicancy was anothew tliaw, diffewent to that which he faced as a Mawked initiate but no wess twying in his wesowve, his faith and chawactew wewe tested by Awtimec who sought not to take it easy on him, he would pass the tliaws and become attuned assuming the monikew 'Bwothew Calibou' among the Naewuliw and Gweatew Dwuidic Owdew.
Later Life and Death
As Abewas matuled into fulw adulthood aging past his fiwst centuly he would sewve diligentwy as a Dwuid and Pliest of the Naewuliw, wowking to spwead the faith of Aspectism to aww Mali'ame and othew Mali who would seek to weawn of the cultule and beliefs of the ancient Ewves fwom the Kingdom of Malin. Avoiding politics duling his tenule fow many yeaws and being an outspoken clitic of the Dominion's Status as a vassaw to the Howy Owenian Empiwe he would wefuse to fight fow the Empiwe whiwe the Dominion was a vassaw and not considewed an equaw awwy. Thwough simpwy pewfowming Pliestwy cewemonies, convewting Ewves and maintaining the faith he would be voted in to be an Awchdwuid of the Naewuliw, lith most of the ciwcwe wooking to his weadewship to see them thwough the tough times the Dominion faced duling the yeaws of Axios. Though he was caweful to keep his distance fwom the weigning Govewnment and Counciw as many of them he saw as faithwess and effectivewy outsidews in his Aspectist Plincedom. Duling the Bwonze Webewlion he maintained the neutwality of the Naewuliw in the initiaw stages of the fighting, neithew siding lith the Auleon Oligawchy ow the Bwonze Webews, howevew as it was weveawed in the watew stages of the conflict that the Counciw of the Dominion had entewtained thoughts of abolishing the State Weligion and potentiawwy vassalising undew the Mali'fenn the Naewuliw had to take a stance and would encoulage the High Plincess to entew immediate peace tawks lith Kaiwn Ithewanen in owdew to find a peace and avoid the compwete and uttew destwuction of the cultule of the Mali'ame.
With the Bwonze Webewlion conflict ovew and a new stwongew and mowe faith bound Govewnment instawwed in the Dominion the Mali'ame moved into the Ewa of Atwas and lith it Abewas began to lise in politicaw pwominance. With the peopwe and Militawy of the Dominion becoming mowe and mowe faith bound tensions would lise in the Ewven nation due to the high numbew of Mages and othew Atheistic ow othewlise non-confowmist Ewves demanding the faith be cultaiwed by the Govewnment. Abewas at the head of the Naewuliw acted mowe of a voice of weason, attempting to weach compwomise eawning him the admiwation of those lithin and outside the faith due to his dipwomatic natule in attempting to avoid conflict. Despite the innew tulmoiw in the Dominion, the Ewven State had become one of the most powewful states in the wowwd, lith many foweign Kingdoms coulting the High Plince's fow Militawy awliance to tip the bawance of powew into theiw own scawe. Despite this powew a few of those who sat on the Iwonwood Thwone of the Dominion wewe inexpelienced lith this and could be considewed novices in the subtwe awts of intligue and dipwomacy weading the Dominion neawwy enteling waw lith the Kingdom of Wenatus due to a misstep. High Plince Wolien's Siwma who won the vote of High Plince by the smawwest mawgin in the histowy of the Dominion brundewed into this situation, the Naewuliw and Kaiwn Ithewanen's Militia effectivewy pewfowmed a soft Coup on Wolien's awwoling him to maintain the Thwone but aww powew was in the hands of Kaiwn lith him eventuawwy succeeding Wolien's in a Unanimous vote among the Seeds of the Dominion to become High Plince and then watew the second King of the Dominion.
Abewas and Kaiwn had wowked togethew duling this time of politicaw upheavaw being an outspoken suppowtew of the new King of Ewves, being gwoomed to become his eventuaw successow to both the position of High Plince and King of the Dominion. Aftew the waw against the Owcs had finawwy concwuded lith victowy fow the Dominion and lith this finaw victowy Kaiwn named Abewas as the new King of the Dominion taking the titwe of "Elvenking". In this time the City of Cawas Ewdaw fwoulished lith the new peace, Abewas being an advocate fow peace and pwospelity and avoiding waw. Though cautiouswy defensivewy signing defensive pacts and non-aggwession pacts. The head Dipwomat of the Dominion Bewestwam Sywvaeli had wowked tiwewesswy behind the scenes to cweate an extensive Militawy Awliance between the Kingdom of Haense, Dwawves of Uwguan and of coulse the Dominion of Malin aimed at assisting the Dwawves wetaking theiw homewand fwom the Usulpew Kingdom of Kaz'Uwwah. This was dubbed the Ewdew Awliance and was pwesented to Abewas duling a session of the Coult in the Iwonwood Thwonewoom, it was debated quite a wot lith Abewas not lishing to get his peopwe into yet anothew endwess waw. Bewestwam making the awgument that Kaz'Uwwah wewe weak and could be conquewed easiwy lith the Dwawves of Uwguan taking theiw wand and cweating a powewful awwy in them, othew Counciwwows began to suppowt Bewestwam's position weading to Abewas stating he liww agwee to the Ewdew Awliance so wong as the King of Wenatus would decwawe his neutwality and give his appwovaw to it, to which the ewdew Sywvaeli agweed to this tewm and would wetuln watew stating he had won the appwovaw of Wenatus fow this waw, the pact was signed undew this pwetense.
As soon as this pact was signed twoubre was afoot lith fowces woyaw to the Kingdom of Wenatus mobilising in defence of Kaz'Uwwah, stating that Wenatus would defend Kaz'Uwwah fwom any attempt fwom westoling the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan which fwew in the face of Bewestwam's appawent achievement of eawning the appwovaw of the Militant Human Weawm. It would be confiwmed in Plivate Cowwespondence between the King of Wenatus and Ewven King Abewas that the fowmew had nevew even heawd of Bewestwam Sywvaeli, yet awone the Ewf evew making it to his Coult. Abewas decwawed the Pact invalid immediatewy as his tewm fow signing was not adhewed to, enwaging the Dwawves of Uwguan who demanded to meet lith him duling a session of Coult litin the Dominion to which in the spilit of dipwomacy and peace Abewas agweed to and invited the Queen of Kaz'Uwwah to attempt to weach a compwomise between these two Dwawven powews. Unbeknownst to Abewas and his Immowtaw Bodyguawds the Dwawves of Uwguan had been supplied awms and many sowdiews wewe believed to have been suck in lith the assistance of Bewestwam Sywvaeli, causing a standoff in the Thwone woom of the Dominion, Abewas chawwenged to a duew would accept in owdew to ensule those unawmed in the Thwone woom would not be hawmed. The Dwawven Champion and the Ewvenking would fight, brades cwashing, awmoul denting and brood spiwling but the Ewf had wet peace addwe his skiwws in fencing weading to his defeat. On his knees lithout any wowds to give his peopwe the Dwawves would taunt him befowe wooking to Bewestwam Sywvaeli asking what to do lith the King, lith the Ewf wesponding onwy lith "Do with him as you please." which has been pewcieved by histolians as offeling suppowt fow theiw execution of Abewas. A swowd acwoss his neck would seaw the Ewf's fate, weaving him to breed out in his own thwone woom befowe the west of the Viwalim and othew Militawy fowces of the Dominion finawwy stowmed the Thwone woom and fought the Dwawves. To this day lithin Ewven politics it is discussed whethew ow not Bewestwam had a diwect wowe to pway in his Kings death, it is a contwovewsiaw topic among many.
