Kythos
Kythos was born on the outskirts of Meletis, to Maeria, a former soldier from Akros, and Stanthus, a farmer from Phalea.
His birth was fated by a peculiar sense of Deja-vu, and his earliest memory involved him eating a golden apple from The Nessian Wood.
His grandmother, Vala , received a vision when he was a child that he was destined to discover the secret to the gods' divinity.
He was educated in Meletis, alongside his friend Hixus, and after his education he joined the Meletian military as a scout.
Meanwhile, his parents had moved to his father's village of Phalea, where the family settled down.
One fateful evening, Phalea was attacked by Nyxborn warriors in the armies of Xenagos. Kythos was too late to sav his parents, who were both killed, but his heroic defence of the city earned him the favour of Iroas, and Kythos became a hero of the god of victory.
