The Tale of the Childer

The god Arhah and Bapha had three children named Vandor, Ivae, and Isto. Vandor, was wild as the forests of their home plane, he was strong of body and fiery haired. Ivae, the fair, was beautiful to behold with her fair skin and soft almost winter white hair, was very astute at weaving the webs of arcane energy. And finally Isto, the small dark skinned younger brother who was often mocked by his siblings but deeply loved by his mother, was often quiet when at peace but fierce when angered. One day Arhah and Bapha had returned to find Vandor bloodied and lying on his back with Isto holding a pair of swords to his brothers throat threatening to end his existence. The parents shocked and horrified intervened quickly separating the two. The soon found from Ivae that Vandor had been bullying his brother and Isto had taken enough and attacked. His father angry at the thought of one of his own children capable of murder prepared to dispatch the young Isto. However with much pleading Bapha interceded on Isto's behalf and begged her husband not to kill him. Unable to stand the sight of his wife's pain, Arhah decided that a suitable punishment would be to banish the young elf away for eternity, sending Isto to the darkest reaches never to see the sun again without pain.
After his banishment Isto was incensed at his brother and held enmity for his sister for not aiding his case and planned to strike at his siblings and their descendants.
