"Books are beautiful things. Within them one can find a magic unlike any other. Able to cast you to far away coasts, or deep into the forest of an unknown land."

"Valayn picked up an understanding of different languages to better read and understand the sources of magic associated with their cultures."- Altalar

- Mechanics:
- Valayn does not draw his magic from the places one may think. Rather, he pulls essence from Lathan itself. Channeling it through his tome to bring the stories inside to life. (Lanlath Mech 2)
- Valayn does not sleep, rather he doesn't need to. He can enter into a trance if he'd like, letting him stay watchful even while appearing to slumber. However, he is more often found wide awake, studying away or reading a book. (Lanlath Mech 3)
- Valayn has often been told he has rather good eyesight. Rather insanely good eyesight. Able to pick out the spots on a ladybug sitting on a tree, from the otherside of a street, or even the outcome of a coin toss…from the other side of town. (Lanlath Mech 4)
- While Valayn is not often one to drink, when he does he is often the last one standing at the table even despite his rather small and thin stature. Something that even he doesn't fully understand. (Lanlath Mech 5)
"The Moon's gentle embrace, it guides me..."
Valayn's faith has slowly drifted away from the once strong belief in the Estelley gods and goddesses. Seeing the constant strife, war and infighting it's Regalian followers had constantly been pushing as a detraction from his own morals and beliefs. Instead, choosing to study the teachings of an Aldurist text book he had found, believing that despite some lack of safe practices, the magic based faith was better suited to his personal goal of spreading magic across Aloria.
"The land was painted in lavender and dotted with hints of green and marble…"
Valayn was born in Lathan and spent several of his younger years in Regalia. His mothers had wished to expand a seamstress business within the city. However, after realizing just how dangerous the city can be they returned back to Lathan. There, he spent the majority of his teens learning magic at an academy and having his Starbirth. Feel free to ask him about his home, the star he was born under or even just for some guidance on magic. All of them are subjects he is more than happy to help with or even just idly talk about.
"Despite its flaws, its cracks and its imperfections. I still love it here…"
Several years of Valayn's childhood were spent within the walls of Regalia. And while he was often sheltered by his more wealthy seamstress mothers, and doted on by his four sisters, he often found himself being dragged off by a friend to get into trouble. But if you were to ask him about it he'd only have good things to say. This was where he found his love for magic, being a late bloomer to his own skills he watched one individual make beautiful creations with theirs. And this drove him later in life to inspire the same awe and wonder he had when he would watch them.
"I will protect this city, I will show the people here that this power is not just dangerous…"
Valayn is a member of the Aelrrigan order. He spent countless months just training and learning his craft so he could be accepted into it. Fueled by a conviction that there was a beauty in magic that the common people of Regalia did not recognize, that it was his duty to show them. Employing his magic of being able to bring the books and stories he reads to life, he aims to show the world a different side of magic, regardless of how long it takes him to do so.
