Personality

History
Some twenty years ago, the Unified Realm was plague by Meldenean pirates. King Janus sent the Battle Lord Kralyk Al Sorna and the fleet to burn the Meldenean’s capital city. Kralyk said the Meldeneans couldn’t hate us any more than they already did.
At some point, he met a sister of the Fifth Order called Ildera Vardrian. They fell in love, she left the Order and they married having one son Vaelin. Although they loved each other greatly, she hated war, and this brought trouble to their marriege. She turned away from him, and he began spending more time away from home; he met another woman who give him an illegitimate daughter, Alornis.
Ildera became sick, and as she neared death, she made her husband promise to give their only son Vaelin to the Sixth Order. She recognised in her son his fathers strength, and would prefer he join the military order of the Faith, than become the pawn of the King. Kralyk reluctantly agreed.
After the death of his wife, Kralyk asked for permission to remarry and legitimise his daughter but the King refused; the Battle Lord must be an example for the people to follow. The fact that the mother of his daughter was a denier of the Faith may have also been a factor. Enraged, Kralyk left the King's service.
