Raun

"First sound ever he heard was of battle. His first smell, of blood. First sight, death. He is Raun of Loa, son and heir of the Kithslayer and the Kinseeker, and he is the hope of the Dawn of the Gathering. Who else would I trust?"

- Dothlaar of Loa, Pathfinder of the Kadawan

Raun of Loa, also called Lyen, is the only son of Pathfinder Gellan of the Kadawan and Lady Aelywen, Sylvan Ambassador to Caspia.

Biography

Early Childhood Raun was born in the Month of the Weeping Rain in Year 204 of the Fourth Era. He was premature, his birthing brought about by injuries sustained by his mother during the Battle of Cavaliers' Field. Aelywen gave up her life to ensure his, and    . He was found the following day by his maternal grandfather, Fyren, and sanctified at the holy cloister at Dungraen.

Fyren kept the boy, whom they call Lakil (Sylvan, "one who is victorious"), during the Vigil of Mourning. Then, he sent him to Caspia in the care of the sole surviving Cavalier from Aelywen's army. Gellan did not receive the news of his mate's death well, but he made good on his promise to be a better father than his own. He named his son Raun (S., "noise"), because he was colicky and cried constantly for the first few months of his life. However, Gellan also took to calling him Lyen (S., "ours") not long thereafter, though none know why.

Raun was raised at Nuadu.

The Kadawan

Raun has always greatly admired his parents and their duty to Ariandor, and so when he came of age, he pledged himself to the Kadawan.

The High Elf bestowed upon him the name Dägnahîl (Sylari; "heir to the slayer") as both a testament to the respect they held for Gellan and Raun and in appreciation of the vision she had of Raun surpassing the achievements of his father.
