Being unable to swim Orion and his mother watched him drown. Orion ran away from Kaisara not stopping until he reached Bødur, a area he had only learned about in books. There he was adopted by Vincent von Mapel married to Mel O'Valmen. His mother, after seeing the death of her husband went insane.

Neighbours reported this as the last time they saw the woman.

New Altaroth
Orion met another newcomer to Bodur shortly after the events of his childhood. Noah Dantark, hailing from the then Bardonian, land of Ryzan. The two quickly became fast friends. And so, when Noah died in a duel with Kaiserin Lytra, he fell into a short madness. Orion inherited New Altaroth from his dead blood-brother. Even though he considered New Altaroth to be his home now, he never felt at ease there. This was Noah's town, not his. He spent around 4 months at New Altaroth, in which time he participated in the Viodoxan civil war, but he soon went on a holiday, finding his Baronship to be a cause of much stress. He left New Altaroth in the care of his only son, Alpha von Mapel O'Valmen (now deceased). He journeyed towards Fortuna as he was still of Fortunan faith. Arriving home at New Altaroth he soon found himself once again stressed. He soon gave New Altaroth away to Old Altaroths (Altaroth) joint Baron with him. Purr von Mapel, his son in-law. New Altaroth was soon incorporated into Ryoujing, the town of is brother in-law, Ryou, as it's port, with a few monuments to remember its history.

Civil War
As tensions were rising in Cymru, with the return of Loic. Tensions rose further when the Third Archonate of Viodoxa was proclaimed. Orion, at this point still in control of New Altaroth opted to join the Hazelites as did most of Silvay. But after a series of decisions and thoughts switched sides to join the Loicists. He frequently regretted this decision after, and to a lesser extent in, the war. With Silvay being inside of the Third Archonate this led to his excitement from the place which included exilement from New Altaroth, though it has to be noted that good relations were kept at this point. The first siege rolled around on the 2nd of January (irl) but sadly a day prior (irl) news of his mentor, friend, and blood kin, Noah Dantark reached his ears. Sadly his friend had died quickly due to an infection from a bullet wound. The bullet in question came from Kaiserin Lytra who both had a long standing presentment due to their past in Lothrin. They had decided to end the rivalry with a duel held outside of the lighthouse of Lothrin. Later the same day, news of his son, Alpha von Mapels death also came. A fall from one of the many hills of New Altaroth. The news could not have come worse as the battle was one day later.

In the battle itself, he broke down in tears at the fact that he had lost everything. After, he did not take part in next siege or anything after.
