Personal history

Kaelus Leonidar was born in a small farming village on the central southern coast of Cetandar. His parents were humble farmers, instilling in him the values of hard work, honesty, and community. The village was tightly knit, and everyone knew each other. From a young age, Kaelus showed an innate sense of justice and a strong moral compass. His parents often found him mediating disputes among the local children, always striving to ensure fairness and peace.
 
Kaelus's closest companion during his childhood was his friend Honoratus, the blacksmith's son. The two boys were inseparable, often found exploring the nearby woods, pretending to be knights on grand adventures, or helping out with chores around the village. Honoratus shared Kaelus's sense of justice and had a natural talent for crafting and repairing items, a skill he learned from his father.
 
The bond between Kaelus and Honoratus was forged through countless shared experiences. They often trained together, sparring with wooden swords and dreaming of the day they would become real knights. Honoratus, though more inclined towards crafting, always supported Kaelus's aspirations and admired his unwavering dedication to justice.
 
Honoratus had a significant influence on Kaelus's early development. While Kaelus was the more serious and idealistic of the two, Honoratus balanced him out with his practical approach and easy-going nature. They complemented each other perfectly, with Honoratus's pragmatism often grounding Kaelus's lofty ideals.
 
At the age of 8, Kaelus and Honoratus encountered a traveling cleric of Hetaradas. The cleric's teachings about honor, duels, and the sanctity of oaths deeply resonated with both boys. They began to attend the cleric's sermons regularly, absorbing the principles of Hetaradas. Their dedication caught the cleric's attention, who saw potential in the young boys and took them under his wing. This cleric became a mentor to both Kaelus and Honoratus, guiding them in both religious studies and the ways of the world.
 
Recognizing their potential, the cleric recommended Kaelus and Honoratus to a local knight seeking squires. At the age of 8, both boys left their village to serve the knight. Life as squires was demanding, but Kaelus and Honoratus thrived. They learned the art of combat, chivalry, and the importance of duty. Their evenings were often spent in prayer and study, further deepening their devotion to Hetaradas.
 
At the age of 20, after years of diligent service and proving their valor in numerous skirmishes, Kaelus and Honoratus were knighted. Their exemplary dedication to the principles of honor and justice earned them noble names. Kaelus was granted the name Leonidar, a tribute to Hetaradas's favored animal, the lion, and Honoratus received the name Norex, symbolizing his valor and righteousness. The ceremony was a grand affair, attended by many, including their proud families and their cleric mentor. As Sir Kaelus Leonidar and Sir Honoratus Norex, they vowed to uphold the virtues of Hetaradas and protect the weak.
 
With their new titles, Kaelus and Honoratus felt an even stronger calling to serve their god. They dedicated themselves to the protection of the innocent and the eradication of evil. Their reputation as just and honorable knights spread, and they became beacons of hope for many. However, they felt there was more they could do. They wanted to spread the teachings of Hetaradas far and wide, to bring light to the darkest corners of the land.
 
At 24, Kaelus and Honoratus joined the Evershield Adventuring Guild. The guild offered them the perfect platform to fulfill their dual purpose: to spread the good word of Hetaradas and to combat evil wherever it lurked. While awaiting new assignments, they took every opportunity to preach kindness and politeness, embodying the virtues of their god. They were relentless in their quest to cut down beings of evil, always with a sense of justice and honor.
