Vathol Ebemon

= Vathol Ebemon = ""Vathol Ebemon is a human warrior who lives in Midjor. He serves as the High General of Midjor and is one of the founding members of the nation. Although he has a troubled past and questionable morals, Vathol does his best to do protect his people and redeem himself for the sins of his past.

Pre-Midgard
Vathol was born and raised in Vuljor (read Midjor wiki) and is not a native to Midjor. As a child he showed a talent for fighting and quickly joined the military for his nation. His main enemies were the people of Midgard (ancestors to the Midjorisk), and he would frequently be reminded of their savage and hostile ways. Vathol did not question it, as it was of no importance to him. What mattered to Vathol was the thrill of the hunt and the adrenaline rush of war. He saw battles as something glorious to partake in, and he would fight on the frontlines whenever he could. This lust for combat grew so severe that he eventually started instigating wars just so he could fight in them. This was quickly discovered by his leaders and he was promptly exiled from his nation.

He lived as a nomad for years, scavenging for food and resources as he travelled. Even though he was already exiled, he was frequently hunted by most nations due to how hated he was. Vathol was chased out of almost every land until he ended up in the snowy wastelands that the Midgardians called home. Maybe these people would be kinder..?

Midgard
One fateful night, Vathol was resting near a campfire and eating the scraps of food that he found that day. He was ready to go to sleep for the night, but then he heard cries of pain followed by laughter in the distance. With nothing better to do, he picked up his sword and walked over to investigate.

When he arrived, he found a man on the ground being kicked by a group of soldiers. The emblems of their shields showed that they were from the nation he was originally in. Finally, he could get some revenge. After a quick battle, Vathol slaughtered the soldiers. He was ready to rob the man that was on the ground bleeding in the snow, but for some strange reason he felt the urge to show mercy to him. Vathol took this man back to his camp and let him rest for the night, justifying his actions in his mind as simply to get some information.

The next morning, he talked with the man. The man started by thanking Vathol for saving him and introducing himself as Yathum, the soon to be High Leader of Midjor. Yathum explained how he was assaulted for being part of Midgard, and guessed that the soldiers probably would have killed him if Vathol didn't intervene. As thanks, Yathum invited Vathol to join him in Midgard. Initially, Vathol did not know how to respond. It had been a long time since anyone showed such kindness to him. After a bit of deliberation, Vathol decided to accept his offer and join him in Midgard.

On his first day, he met a couple of other members including Malzein, who would come to be the shaman of Midjor. He also met Odenum, a brave and inspiring leader who spent most of his time strategizing on how to fight off enemy forces. For the first time in a while, nobody showed any hostility towards him. In fact, they were extremely welcoming and hospitable after hearing about how Vathol saved Yathum. He was given a house to stay in and daily rations. After getting settled in, Vathol decided to use this as a fresh start and enlist in the military again, only this time he would fight only for his nation and not let his love for combat get the better of him.

He had every intention of following through on this. Unfortunately, fate would not be that kind to him. One day on a scouting expedition, Vathol split off from his group to explore a nearby cave. In this cave, he found a strange altar with a wither rose planted there. Curious, he reached out to the rose to examine it. The second he came into contact with the rose, he felt a sharp pain surge throughout his body and a presence enter his mind. The presence introduced itself as Withral, an ancient apollyonite who had pledged its loyalty to Vallenir (see Heizkeim)
