He was and is a important figure in Daelyria, is Aenyn of Draconism, Baron of Andoria and Vederya, and Royal Scribe. He was Premier of Mithra and before that Aestyria. He is currently the Royal Scribe of Daelyria. Spoken is part of the noble House Kaerfels. His closest friends are his brother Alpha Kaerfels and Dusk Synderys. His primary residence is Frostarch in Duskyon, but he also frequently visits Illerya. Spoken has one adopted son, Shade Epstakia Kaerfels, and several bastards, as he made all maids in Shamrock tavern pregnant.

Childhood and Youth
His early years he lived with his mother and his brother in a shack in the woodlands of central Helmia. When he was only a few years old, the household was abandoned and he moved to the near city of Daelyrian Duskopion. There he chilled with the boys, especially Dusk Synderys, helped building the city and began studying Draconism.

In his late teens he moved out of Duskopion, and constructed the small castle of Duskfang. When he came into contact with his new neighbour, Alpha Kaerfels, they found out that they were Brothers. After a small identity crisis, they refounded the Noble House of Kaerfels and created the duchy of the Midlands. He also became close with the nearby bartender and professional jester Skyrox.

He had a lot of beef with the Halondians when they joined Daelyria. After the merging of Arcovel he got in charge of the Town of Andoria. There Shade Eptaskia helped him, and Spoken was so thankful and liked the boy that he adopted him. Around that time he redesigned Duskfang and renamed it to Vederya. He also founded the religious order of the Hand of Vhagar. he also became a Aenyn of Draconism.

Political Career in Arcovel, Aestyria, VAK and Mithra
After being a lord and advisor for some time he eventually won the elections for Premier. Around the same time Varandoy seceeded from Arcovel, and the nation was renamed to Aestyria.

During this time he married a Huitcan noble woman called Metzli Tizoc. During the events of the mithran winter he opposed Regent Yanak and after the crisis with other High Council members elected Miksa Silverhand as King and approved of the entering of Mithra into the Sapphire Commonwealth.

Helmian Federation and the Helmian Civil War
Just after the Mithran surrender at the end of the Mithran-Dandelion War Spoken quickly cooperated with the new regime lead by Kyydrosil, gaining a spot in the ruling council even before the constitution was finished. While some former Mithrans criticized him for this, he himself and others saw this as a smart step in order to ensure this new nation acts with considering the interests of the largely alienated population. After a period of relative peace and prosperity, a civil war broke out. The Helmian Federation against supporters of the mithran past and other people unsatisfied with the regime, lead by the core of the domusist movement. Staying on the side of the Federation for most of the war, but after his friends and allies Dusk Synderys and Maekar Blackfyre decided to switch sides in order to ensure the safety of the daelyrian people he decided to follow them. Shortly after this the civil war ended with a Federation-defeat, with soon after most of the new leadership succombing to the Redgrin Plague, leading to Daelyria being restored as the High Kingdom of Daelyria.

New Daelyria
After this new nation under High King Maekar Blackfyre I was formed, Spoken was assigned the position of Royal Advisor and Royal scribe. After the nation became more stable he began focusing more on Draconism. After the death of High Priest Falcon Snayke he was elected from the chamber of Aenyns to become the new High Priest. Embowed with this great honour, he enacted several minor and major administrative reforms, but not without consulting his fellow clergymen. As Royal Scribe he ensured the country some of the highest education rates in the north, founding several projects to study history, culture, geography and wildlife, and consulting his king with scholarly advise. At this time he also began to finally largely abandon the luxurious and hedonistic acts he enjoyed in the past, such as his affairs and drinking in the great Shamrock Tavern.

Fire and Blood
After hearing of a new threat to Draconism, the destructive cult of the goddess Segra, he quickly acted against the menace and founded a draconist military order to gather troops. But in a twist of fate, his beloved brother Alpha Kaerfels, whom he had always considered the wisest man he knew, had apparently turned mad and followed Segra. This lead Spoken into a phase of intense depression, locking himself in his chambers, and taking more and more Shade of the Evening, a religious drug, eventually drastically changing his views on Segra. He came to strongly believe in a self made twisted prophecy, centering around themes of a apocalypse of fire and blood, drowning the corrupted world in seas of red to make way for a glorious better divine paradisic daelyrian/draconist ruled world. Rumors claim Spoken together with his brother Alpha is involved in mysterious murders in Frostarch and other suspicious happenings in the region.
