Description
Kyron is a 25 year old human of Yuvarian heritage. He is 1.79 cm tall. He wears the woodland green clothes of his home town Roantazor.

Early Life
Kyron was born in the town of Roantazor in the nation of Yuvaria (now known as Yunria) situated in the north east of Eldham. Roantazor was a new town at the time, situated in the coldest parts of the dense pine forests that was characteristic of that land. The town was divided into two parts, a castle on an island, connected to the main village across the narrow river by a bridge. The town was growing rapidly and soon was considered one of the two biggest towns in what was still the young kingdom of Yuvaria at the time. Kyron's childhood was peaceful.

The Fall of Roantazor
When coming of age however, Kyron was unfortunate to live in interesting times in the town's history. Being very much a frontier town, he took on many tasks of survival and helping the settlement were possible, mainly mining and logging. Eventually he took on the trade of cartography, making maps of the nation, indicating the towns of the region. Although catastrophe struck before the maps could ever be finished, others finished the work and it can be found today in the capital of Yunria.

For soon strange signs were found beneath Roantazor. Tunnels of unknown origins, a book with a sinister omen, and a strange well with a foreboding message.... there were rumored to be cultist activity beneath Roantazor. No sooner were these strange things spotted however than news of a rebellion arose. The two mayors of the town had conspired to overthrow the king and make Roantazor the new capital of Yuvaria. The rebellion however put most of the citizens of Roantazor in an awkward position, risking to lose their country or town citizenship. Having lived rather disconnected from the leaders of Roantazor or the kingdom itself, most citizens were ambivalent or indifferent to the rebellion. Consequently the rebellion failed, and however the people of Roantazor were not prosecuted by the government, the village fell apart due to most fleeing to escape the conflict.

Migration
Seeing the conflict brewing, not knowing even who to support due to his disconnect from the political affairs of the nation, and seeing as most of the villagers were starting to pack their belongings- Kyron decided it was time to leave. He set off on a long journey, becoming a wanderer without home. His journey took him far across Eldham until one day he reached the opposite end of the continent, at the western frontiers of the continent. Here he finally reached his new home, Haellsvang.

Life in Haellsvang
Longing for his home, Kyron moved into a new frontier town in the north west, in what was then the nation of Valore. However, bad fortune had followed him as the same trouble that had occurred at his home would happen here. Haellsvang was a small town, rustic in nature. The rural nature was nostalgic, but the land was lacking in the great pine trees of his home. To compensate for this, Kyron decided to grow his own new pine forest on the small peninsula across the river from the town where the one Jarl gave him permission. Strangely, as to be another strange mirror of the place he came from, the town was ruled by two leaders called Jarls. Due to his help in the town he was soon promoted to the honorary title of Karl. It was in this town where he met his neighbor Attas.

But things soon took a turn as the Democracy of the Valore was divided between two factions, viciously fighting for the heart of the nation. Eventually the imperialistic faction won, which was seen as a coup and the end of democracy by the opposing side. What followed, was a mass migration crises as everyone tried to escape out of what they believed was the destruction of their nation. Valore was renamed the Verillion Imperium by the new rulers, but the nation was a shell of itself, sparsely populated, entire cities in ruins. The Verillion period was also marked with internal instability, and soon most of the Haellsvangers left for greener pastures in their longships. As chaos and instability ensued and the Verillion Imperium was to collapse into the As'rian Commonwealth, Kyron took up bags one last time with his neighbour Attas, and they moved with many other refugees from other towns in the nation into the neighbouring city state of Qadakh.

Qadakh, a new life
Qadakh was a big change, somehow Kyron who was used to the green and cold forests of Roantazor, ended up in the desert subcontinent of Qadakh. Kyron and Attas entered Qadakh just when a great boom period in population was occurring, building new adjacent homes in a fresh emerging neighbourhood. Life was busier here from the usual, streets were big and crowded, an endless jungle of buildings to get lost in. To remind Kyron of the little green of home, he made a flower garden on his roof. Just as with the population, a great construction boom was also occuring, with various civil services being constructed. With the city state's first sewers being built, Kyron made use of some of his old cartographer skills, mapping the confusing maze of sewer and underground tunnels that sprawled beneath the city. Soon he spent much of his time on work down there, escaping the heat of the warm Qadakhi sun that he was not used to. Him and his Haellsvangian neighbour started the construction of the great Qadakhian underwater aqueduct, that brought fresh water all the way from the distant northern Qadakhi mountains to their city.

Kyron also started to experiment with the plants on his roof garden, soon starting to craft concoctions in his basement, which he eventually expanded to a business, opening a potion shop. With much of the peninsula already being taken up, and expansion of the city mainly occurring southwards into the ocean, potions that could extend breathing capacity was useful for the construction market.

Vacation house in Haellsvang, birth of Paelliwa
Life was great in Qadakh and he had finally found a home again, but some things the desert could not provide... the longing for the pine forests. In-between conducting his business, Kyron returned to Haellsvang, having restored his cabin in the now dense pine forest to escape from the city from time to time. It is here where by some strange fate, he met a traveler that told him about the religion of Pineism. Having to do with nature, the idea that there existed a forest spirit intrigued Kyron as he had always felt at home in nature. He had converted, and a few months later upon meeting the traveler again, who had introduced himself as Hicky, he had informed him that he was now without a home. Upon hearing this Kyron had invited him to come move into the forest, which he accepted. As the word about Pineolwii, the forest spirit was spread, more people who adhered to the teachings of Pineism started to move to the forests of Haellsvang, the forest under the influence of Pineolwii now having almost adopted a sacred status, as the forests grew to a towering height and great density. A new type of community and people were forming here, many denouncing their old way of life to live a new life closer to nature. Eventually, as a new town called Paelliwa was forming in the clearing of the forest, Kyron documented what he knew about the old Haellsvang and the surrounding ruins to ensure that it's history would not be lost in time.

Present
The region surrounding Paelliwa now consist of various people following nature themed religions, the Druids of Paelliwa, the Underdruids of the undergrowth settlement of Clayroot. Some interactions with Forest elves and lizard people have also been reported in the jungles and swamps to the east. The area has grown over the years a distinct culture with an archive filled with documented history, religious texts, and other books of cultural importance. Paelliwa was also the birthplace of a larger internation Eldham community, called the Dryad Coalition, focusing on restoring nature all across Eldham. At present Kyron is the claim holder or "Keeper" of the town of Paelliwa, which grew to become the largest town in the province of Verden, of what used to be As'ria (Present day Yaszria). Being one of the oldest members left in Verden, he also serves as Lore Keeper, documenting and preserving the history of the area; and Druid, helping tend to and spreading the forests of Paelliwa.
