Early Years
Erolas Ba’ikana was born on the 5th of sun’s smile, 1434, in the outskirts around the congregation of nations in Athera. Unlike other mali’ker, Erolas was born into the Ba’ikana clan. His father was highly respected figure within the Warhawkes, born into the Ba’ikana clan aswell whereas his mother was born into the Othan clan. He was raised in a small warhawkian settlement alonside his two brothers, Tahiti & Dakath, his younger sister Nis’vera, and the youngest of the litter, Regale, who was adopted by their parents.
Erolas’ childhood was a tough one, his father, like many other warhawkes, would teach their children all the basic survival skills they’d need in life at a very young age. He and his brothers were taught the basics of swordplay and weaponry while their mother taught them things such as crafting and tanning, aswell as cooking. Most of his childhood was spent honing his skills in many crafts. Early into his childhood Erolas looked up to his father and uncle who served as Cosmic guard’s to the Chieftain’s. The highest honor in the Ba’ikana clan was to achieve the status of Cosmic Guard. They are expected to dedicate themselves to defending the Chieftains and their families. He would go on to spend most of his childhood training to become a protectorate and guard of the Warhawkes.
He spent most of his teenage years serving as a guard for his people before losing his kin, as Warhawkes were very nomadic in this time. His time was mostly spent wandering until he was united with his family in the old Ancillary of Athera, which stood behind the Haelun’or plateu. Although not many knew who he was, it was only because he preferred to travel the lands rather than stay in one place. He made his way onto a boat towards Vailor when Athera was attacked by giant worms. He spent the entirety of Vailor separated from his family alongside his youngest cousin, Echeche. During this time they did alot of Mercenary work together traversing the lands.
Eventually, they got onto a boat once more to Axios. Reuniting with his family who lived in Riv’vallel, He established himself as a respectable Warhawke among his people.
Warhawkian Conflict
Erolas endured much helping Ereinion lead his people, many conflicts arised in the isles of Axios, causing the Warhawkes to move from place to place. After the fall of the Dreadlands, his people were offered safe harbour behind Haelun’or. His people were then forced out by the Orenian Empire after some time, and their leader had gone missing. This caused Erolas to have to take charge and keep his people safe. He did the one thing he could, hiding his people in safehouses in multiple cities. During these years Erolas built up many relations with people from all over the isles.
Coalitiion War
At this point the Warhawkes were many and scattered. With no one place for a home most of the male Warhawkes turned to Skirmishers or men for hire where they fought alongside many groups fighting off the Dominion & Orenian Empire. After many talks, Erolas & the twin Chieftain’s, Ereinion and Eraynion, decided to fight against the empire in the remaining wars on Axios. ultimately fighting for Fenn, Urguan and the Coalition against the Orenian Empire. This resulting in a win for the coalition, the Dominion quickly making peace with the Warhawkes & and what remained of the Savoyards, granting them land. Erolas helped his kin build Riv’vallel, where they lived in peace for the remaining years on Axios. Erolas would take the title of Chieftain after the disappearance of the former Chieftains, then ascending to Prince of the dark elves years later, leading his people to prosper furthermore.
End of Axios
By the end of Axios, Erolas had made the dark elves bolster in numbers. His Warband was numerous and most of the dark elves were still living off the spoils of war they had earned years before, but like most other Warhawkes, war was seen as a necessary evil. Erolas and his warband sought out more wars and battles to fight in while the rest of his kin remained in Riv’vallel.
Time on Atlas
Upon landing on Atlas, Erolas and his Warhawkes built their capital, Khel’seth. Where they thrived and lived in peace. After some time and many years of prospering, Erolas stepped down from Chieftain to traverse Atlas and map the stars. Without his presence many of the ker within his Warband split from the Warhawkes, still craving the spoils of war and battle. The once great Chiefdom that was built by Erolas was now a thing of the past and his people now dwindle in numbers.
