Valahier Shadowcrest
The first night of the Blood Moon Festival is always the hardest for Valahier Shadowcrest. The night many moons ago his best friend and sister died.
His Father, Rhalis Shadowcrest, was leader and medicine man of the clan known, in human tongue, as “Sacred Wolf.” Valahier was only eight when the Dwarves turned on them during a peace treaty signing supposedly to bring an end to the War of the Wolf.
Torrid Bhalk, The Dwarven ambassador and practitioner of the dark arts, of the Deceitful Black Forge clan, lead a group into the Wolves camp and slaughtered many in their sleep. The wolf’s defenses were somehow overcome and the warriors who woke up were defeated in a bloodbath. Only a few escaped, Valahier being one of the children.
He later learned that Torrid Bhalk was after him for some reason or another. Valahier used his instincts and cunning to escape the many attempts on his life since then. Staying in the shadows for safty while keeping up his fighting training.
Rhalis, his father, body was never found. There has been much supporting evidence that he is still alive, however, it’s almost as if whenever Valahier starts to get close, mysterious and dangerous things start to happen.
Valahier recognizes the Harvest Moon festival every year. However, the meaning changed that night, and has since been called the Bloodmoon Festival by all of the Sacred Wolf.
