Therese Volusania

Therese Aelarion was a Lhûren (Zhanundeoran) woman, who lived as a refugee in Bardonia. She was the mother of Kaiba Aelarion

Early Life
Therese Aelarion was born in the outskirts of Volkoregrod. She never knew who her parents were; therefore, she was raised in an orphanage funded by the Twin Dragon. She never had a true connection to the Twin Dragon religion, but she was taught everything about the culture of her people. Even though she lived with a lot of other orphans like her, she never really had friends or people to talk to. At the age of nineteen, she ran away from the orphanage and started to work in a tailor shop.

The Second Ryzani Civil War
The Second Ryzani Civil War broke out one year after Therese Aelarion started to work in the tailor shop. In the year 128 TE, the Battle of the Bridge began. After she heard of the Battle of the Bridge, which was near the city of Volkoregrod, she knew she had to flee. At first, she didn't knew where to go, but her employer told her to go to Bardonia to seek refuge. He said, "They will treat you with respect, now go!" The battle was still ongoing when she left the city, so she had to take another route to Bardonia. During this time, the Ryzani wilderness wasn't safe. There were a lot of skirmishes between Imperial and League forces. She arrived at the border after a week of constant fear.

Life and Death in Bardonia
The Bardonian border patrol noticed her immediately and took her to New Dorasterrock, where she stayed at a refugee camp. She decided to stay in New Dorasterrock after the Second Ryzani Civil War ended. The Bardonians offered her Bardonian citizenship if she converted to the Dandelism religion. She accepted with joy. Many years pass, and Therese works as a tailor again. In the Year 169 TE did Therese her usual work. At the market, she noticed a human farmer called Jasper who tried to sell his crops. They got into a long conversation and decided to marry three months later. Therese moved to her husband's village near the border with Ryzan. Kaiba Aelarion, their son, was born only four years later. The three lived and worked together for the next few years. In 186 TE, flew several arrows out of nowhere onto their fields. Therese recognized the arrowheads immediately. "The Ryzani...". She grabbed her son Kaiba and told him to run east and not to look back. In that moment, an arrow pierced her heart, and she passed away in the arms of her son.
