Vatilytan Valenar-Rezuraia

Vatilytan Valenar-Rezuraia, or Zephyreniel'Elin is a half-yirsi member of house Rezuraia, as well as the child of a exiled scion of the Dragonkin Skybreaker clan. His Yirsi blood is shown in his sky-blue skin, pale blue eyes, and pointed ears, contrasting his dragonkin heritage, which makes itself visible in his fledgling horns, the scattering of cobalt blue scales under his eyes, and his ability to exhale icy mist when angered, frustrated, or tense. He is the Tilvindlayin of Novastonia, a minor minister in the anglunian government.

Early Years
Vatilytan grew up in Rezuraia, the royal capital of Anglunia, raised by his mother and father. As a member of the Rezuraia noble family, Vatilytan received a extensive education in many skills, including diplomacy, politics, and the sciences. Although a good student, he expressed a lack of interest in most of these subjects, save for writing. Instead, he preferred to spend his time exploring the icy mountains and spruce forests that surround his home, much to the disapproval of his father's side of his family, although his mother, a skilled warrior and seasoned adventurer encouraged this behavior, teaching him the arts of swordplay and archery. A inquisitive and adventurous soul, Vatilytan spent most of his childhood and early adulthood wandering the wilds, creating maps, as well as protecting the outskirts of the city. During this time, he became skilled with both the blade and longbow, skills which he utilized against the bandits and thugs who plagued the roads of Anglunia. He also showed a natural aptitude for the art of enchanting, a esoteric skill which would serve him well.

Anglunian Civil War
Vatilytan was in his twenty-third year when the Anglunian Civil War broke out, following the attempted assassination of Yirsdan Zeheros Elzar-Rezuraia, the cousin of his father. Out of a desire to help protect his family, and his anger at the Nuwans for betraying their own people, he quickly joined the Rezuraian army. He fought in the Battle of Lynburg, using his skill with the bow to help fend off the Nuwan troops. During the battle of Saint's Port, Vatilytan was put in command, leading a squad of six warriors to try to take the city. Heavily outnumbered, he and his group of soldiers fought to the last, trying to hold out until reinforcements arrived, although they never would. Eventually, they were forced to retreat, although not before his leg was severely injured by the sword of a Nuwan soldier. Despite this, they still managed to escape, although Vatilytan would always to have a slight limp from that day forwards. In order to overcome this, he trained himself diligently, until he was able to walk, run, and fight as quickly as he normally would. Soon after this defeat, he fought in the Battle of the Lysalkaan Forest, in which he and his Rezuraia brethren fought the Nuwans in the treetops, exchanging volleys of arrows. Although the battle was close, they were forced to surrender after their troops had all been either killed or captured. Vatilytan himself was captured in a final stand in which he attempted to storm the Nuwan tower. Following the Rezuraia surrender, he was freed along with the other captured Rezuraia soldiers, as per the terms of their treaty. Although he grudgingly accepted the Nuwan victory, he still remained loyal to his house, continuing to see the newly crowned Yinower II as a traitor.

Tilvindlayin of Novastonia:
Following the events of the Anglunian civil war, Vatilytan was chosen to become a Tilvindlayin to the vassal state of Novastonia, a minor minister position within the Anglunian government. Despite his dislike of politics, he took to the position well, as it involved traveling to unfamiliar lands, meeting new peoples, and roaming the countryside to deal with squatter nations.
