Profile
--------------------
Appearance
Pale-skinned and darkly featured, Valestar is a rather slight elf, and many who see him in his simple priestly vestments might mistake him for a cloistered monk. Yet his small frame belies a considerable strength and fortitude not common in his kind. He tends to wear his hair pulled back on the sides to keep the rest of his loose mane behind his head. When in the field with the order, he dons a weathered set of leather lamellar, something handed down to him by his father and brother, and pairs it with a stout wooden shield. He is equally at home with a blade or bludgeon in his hand, and has a modest skill with the bow (though admittedly no real affinity for it).
Personality
Valestar, or "Vale" as he prefers to be called, is a kind, insightful young man. Having found the faith of the Dawnflower despite his family's heritage as devouted servants of Iomedae, Vale has taken heavily to the teachings of High Priestess Silvia, and commits much of his time to duties of charity and aid to the weak and poor. Though he has not adopted a vow of nonviolence as she espouses, he is slow to draw his blade, knowing that bloodshed should be the last resort. He is keen to offer aid to all in need, seeing it as his duty as both a Knight of the Order and a servant of the Everlight. Vale has simple tastes and little want for material wealth, preferring instead good company and the satisfaction that each day he leaves the world a little better than it was the day before.
Background
Joining the order has always been an expectation in Vale's life. Both his father and brother have served dutifully as hallowed nights of Iomedae, pledged in service to the order. He has been raised on the tales of their exploits, and growing up within the walls of Fort Arrak, has been surrounded by not only them but much of the Order's strength. Yet ever one to stand apart, As much as Vale followed his kin, he did it in his own manner.
Well still a boy, Vale was struck by a runaway wagon being pulled by a spooked horse. Terrified and in great pain, Vale had become lost in the fortress city, and wandered through alleys for some hours. His father and brother were away on duty, and his mother was at home, oblivious to his plight. Whether by luck or divine blessing, a servant of Sarenrae happened upon the injured child, half unconscious. Delirious with pain, Vale remembers little of the next hours, but can hear her soft, angelic voice. When he finally came to, his wounds have been bandaged, the breaks set, and magic used to mend much of the damage. Yet the complexity left it somewhat flawed, and magic could only do so much, and even with much retraining, Vale to this day walks with a minor limp and an almost too straight posture.
Vale never found out who it was that had saved his life. Yet their selfless act inspired him in a way that the valorous heroics of his father and brother, and the other knights before them, never had. It took a great deal to convince his father to allow him to seek the priesthood of the Dawnflower as his vocation in the Order. Though young, Vale's argument was sound, and his father gave in and supported his son's membership as he so wished.
Despite the remnants of his injury, Vale worked hard to train his body to keep up with the others. Perhaps because of this, he developed a strength and fortitude far beyond that of much of his kin, and definitely surprising for his small stature. He showed a capability with the blade, you had a mastery in his piety. And despite his gifts granted by the Dawnflower, he also invested heavily in studying the mundane arts of healing, hoping to be able to combine both his skilled hands and blessings of faith to help those in need.
