Line 23:		Line 28:
−	'''Childhood'''	+	Vaen started off in Minoc as a miner's son.  After having to face his best friend in battle and kill him, Vaen felt the need to move forward with his life, and leave town.  He eventually met Rachel and Valatin, and he joined them in their travels.  While the three of them were traveling around, they were witnessed to many acts of injustice.  After talking amongst one another, they decided to form the Legion of Justice.
		+	The Legion of Justice was around for a few years, and participated in many wars in the name of Justice.  The sense of Justice they followed, however, was warped.  Nevertheless, the Legion was a very prominent force for years.  Vaen's leadership turned the Legion into the most powerful army of its time.  Some prominent members of the Legion include Mave Gerhart, Leshok Majere, and Beowulf Thormear, all of whom Vaen considered brothers.
−	Vaen Swiftar was born into a family of honor in the small town of Minoc. He was always taught to honor his commitments, whatever they may be. He was taught to make "giving his word" something that all who know him can believe in. But most of all, Vaen was born and raised to be a man with the heart of a lover, and the strength of a fighter.	+	While in the Legion, Vaen met Brianha Frasier. He had met many women before, but none captivated him as she did. Though their relationship was strained through many events, the two of them eventually wed, and had a daughter.
−	Like most children, Vaen enjoyed being outside with his friends. His best friend, Marcus Stanim, would frequent the Swiftar house from a nearby city called Vesper. His father, Gerta Stanim, would accompany Marcus in order to protect him on his way. In the many visits that Gerta had to the Swiftar Property in Minoc, Gerta became very fond of the land. He seemed jealous in the sense that he did not have such land around Vesper. It became very apparent that Gerta was very interested in owning the land.	+	When the land no longer required an active presence of Justice, Vaen retired the Legion and temporarily retired to a remote location with Brianha, who was pregnant with their daughter at the time.
−	Marcus and Vaen would sword fight eachother at the age of three. They were playing with some dulled knives that Firal Swiftar, Vaen's father, had made for them.	+	The quiet life never suited him, however, and Vaen returned to the lands to fight once more.  This time, Vaen joined the ranks of an old nemesis, Tarothin Armunn. Through deceit and trickery, Vaen, with the help of Beowulf, was able to take down the entire Armunn Empire, which spanned from Dark Cove, to Vesper, and Minoc.  Beowulf and Vaen freed Vesper and Minoc from the Armunn Empire, and formed the Northland Republic.  The Northland Republic was short lived, however, as Vaen and Beowulf found themselves pushing papers rather than fighting for what they believed.  After signing a treaty with the Moonglow Town Council, the lands were granted to Moonglow, and the Northland Republic was absorbed into Moonglow.
−	These two were the best of friends, and everyone thought that this bond could not be broken.	+	Vaen's ultimate demise came when Mave Gerhart had requested Vaen's help in a far off land.  Vaen, Mave, and Beowulf all entered an abandoned castle outside the large town of Lysoria, and fought against a group of infernalists.  The infernalists managed to summon in a massive demon, who had killed both Mave and Beo before the Lysorian militia stormed the area.  In a last ditch effort, Vaen was able to throw a few explosion potions into the demon's mouth, before being crushed to death in its hands.  The potions exploded the demon's stomach, killing it.
−	One day as Gerta Stanim was coming to retrieve his son Marcus from the Swiftar's, Gerta seemed a little strange. A slight twitching in his head that was never there before was now very apparent. As Pryat, Vaen's mother, answered the door, she was quickly met with a blade through her chest. Firal and Vaen ran to her in time to catch her body, but the blade had done enough damage already, for she was dead. Gerta grabbed the sobbing Marcus, and quickly ran off towards Vesper, screaming, "This land will be mine!"	+	The three men were honored in Lysoria, and were given the title "Legends of Lysoria."
		+	== Expanded Appearance ==
−	'''War of Families'''
−	Wake up, eat, train, rest, train, eat, and sleep. This is the routine that Vaen had lived by ever since he was eight years old. His older brother, Talen Swiftar, tried to convince Vaen that hand to hand combat is not the best way to go about things. Talen had taken in the art of animal care, and was very familiar with forming mutual bonds with even the strongests of beasts. Vaen, however, was not interested. He believed that if something were to be done out of revenge, it would be done by the person themselves.	+	== Other Information ==
−	Vaen wanted more than anything to join the ranks of the war. He watched as some of the Swiftar Family and their friends charged into battle against some of the Stanim Family and their friends, and dreamed about how glorious battle was. Vaen simply could not wait until he got his first kill.	+	'''"Fun Facts"'''
−	Years passed, and Vaen was now seventeen. He quickly joined in the ranks of the war, eagerly awaiting his first battle. But no Stanims came, not for weeks. Had they finally given up?	+	Lich Lord Admoreth of the Order of the Ebon Skull believed that Vaen Swiftar was the Avatar. Vaen did not find this amusing, and was mostly annoyed by the insinuation.
−	One day, while Vaen was doing business in a provisioner's shop in Minoc, Gerta and Marcus were walking about. Gerta just looked at Vaen and smiled, and then patted Marcus on the back. Marcus gave a weak smile, and started to walk towards Vaen.	+	Leshok Majere found Vaen Swiftar guilty of sexual assault, despite Vaen being possessed at the time, and was sentenced to 20 lashes, administered by Silent Poet. The two eventually made amends, and Leshok joined the Legion of Justice shortly thereafter.
−	"Vaen... arm yourself."	+	During the Blood Moon, the Stormreaver Orc Magi summoned forth powerful magics to use against Vaen Swiftar. These magics temporarily brainwashed Vaen into believing he was an Orc.
−	"Marcus...?!"	+	The Mark of the Ebon Skull was branded into Vaen's left palm.
−	Marcus sighed. "Vaen, arm yourself."	+	In a quest to discover Humility, Vaen Swiftar and his friend Alexander the Elf adorned dresses, spreading the virtue around Sanctus.  This was neither the first nor last time Vaen would wear a dress.
−	Vaen nodded in disappointment, knowing that neither him nor Marcus wanted to continue with this. They walked outside to the eastern wall of the bank. Both of them armed their swords, and squared off. Marcus charged forward, slashing at Vaen's right shoulder, but Vaen quickly dodged it and struck Marcus in the back with the butt-end of his sword. Marcus groaned, but quickly recovered and they squared off again.	+	When Minoc was occupied by the Arm Guards led by Bailos, Vaen destroyed the town's food supply, starving the town to start a riot against the Arm Guards. This allowed him and his Legion ample opportunity to invade and take it back.
−	"Kill him, Marcus!" yelled Gerta from the side.	+	Vaen Swiftar once went for six million gold at an auction to Mallory Rowdep.  The runner-up went for one million.  Although the winner paid the six million, she was not able to stay after winning.  Brianha, having bid on him but lost, seized the moment to strike up conversation with him.  The two bickered endlessly into the night.
−	Marcus nodded slowly, closing his eyes tight. He then took another charge at Vaen and slashed at Vaen's left hip, but Vaen jumped back and quickly struck Marcus with the flat of his blade, causing Marcus to fumble backwards. Marcus, now getting irritated, charged once more with his sword out infront of him. Vaen dodged to the side and swung his blade around, just barely missing Marcus. Marcus quickly turned and slashed diagonally towards Vaen's chest, but Vaen put his arm up in defense, and the blade ripped through Vaen's armor, causing a large gash to form in his arm. Vaen groaned, and looked at his arm, and then looked at his old friend. Vaen realized that this was not going to end with him and his old friend walking away laughing. No longer was this a playful fight. This was a fight to win. Vaen tightened his grip on his blade and charged towards Marcus, swinging with all of his might. Vaen slashed at Marcus's left arm, his right leg, and at Marcus's head, causing gashes in his limbs and cutting off Marcus's left ear. Marcus cried in agony, dropping his sword. Vaen quickly dropped his sword and went to the aid of his friend, hoping that he was wrong and that Marcus and he would once again laugh with eachother. As soon as Vaen went to look at Marcus's ear, Marcus pulled a daggar from his boot and stabbed Vaen in the shoulder. Vaen shouted, and grabbed the daggar from Marcus, and stabbed him in the heart, killing him almost immediately. Vaen turned to Gerta, who already had his mace ready, and was quickly struck down by a fierce blow to the back.	+	The only Lich Lord in his lifetime that Vaen considered a worthy foe was Admoreth. While Norture and Darrien may have been powerful Liches, Vaen was never threatened by them.

History

The life of Vaen Swiftar is by no means a dull life. However, to detail the events in his life would be far too long of a read for anyone looking to learn just a few pieces of information on him. The story of his death alone took up roughly 48 pages. In this article, you will read about some of the turning points of his life, and some of the major events that lead him to be who he was.

Vaen started off in Minoc as a miner's son. After having to face his best friend in battle and kill him, Vaen felt the need to move forward with his life, and leave town. He eventually met Rachel and Valatin, and he joined them in their travels. While the three of them were traveling around, they were witnessed to many acts of injustice. After talking amongst one another, they decided to form the Legion of Justice.

The Legion of Justice was around for a few years, and participated in many wars in the name of Justice. The sense of Justice they followed, however, was warped. Nevertheless, the Legion was a very prominent force for years. Vaen's leadership turned the Legion into the most powerful army of its time. Some prominent members of the Legion include Mave Gerhart, Leshok Majere, and Beowulf Thormear, all of whom Vaen considered brothers.

While in the Legion, Vaen met Brianha Frasier. He had met many women before, but none captivated him as she did. Though their relationship was strained through many events, the two of them eventually wed, and had a daughter.

When the land no longer required an active presence of Justice, Vaen retired the Legion and temporarily retired to a remote location with Brianha, who was pregnant with their daughter at the time.

The quiet life never suited him, however, and Vaen returned to the lands to fight once more. This time, Vaen joined the ranks of an old nemesis, Tarothin Armunn. Through deceit and trickery, Vaen, with the help of Beowulf, was able to take down the entire Armunn Empire, which spanned from Dark Cove, to Vesper, and Minoc. Beowulf and Vaen freed Vesper and Minoc from the Armunn Empire, and formed the Northland Republic. The Northland Republic was short lived, however, as Vaen and Beowulf found themselves pushing papers rather than fighting for what they believed. After signing a treaty with the Moonglow Town Council, the lands were granted to Moonglow, and the Northland Republic was absorbed into Moonglow.

Vaen's ultimate demise came when Mave Gerhart had requested Vaen's help in a far off land. Vaen, Mave, and Beowulf all entered an abandoned castle outside the large town of Lysoria, and fought against a group of infernalists. The infernalists managed to summon in a massive demon, who had killed both Mave and Beo before the Lysorian militia stormed the area. In a last ditch effort, Vaen was able to throw a few explosion potions into the demon's mouth, before being crushed to death in its hands. The potions exploded the demon's stomach, killing it.

The three men were honored in Lysoria, and were given the title "Legends of Lysoria."

Lich Lord Admoreth of the Order of the Ebon Skull believed that Vaen Swiftar was the Avatar. Vaen did not find this amusing, and was mostly annoyed by the insinuation.

Leshok Majere found Vaen Swiftar guilty of sexual assault, despite Vaen being possessed at the time, and was sentenced to 20 lashes, administered by Silent Poet. The two eventually made amends, and Leshok joined the Legion of Justice shortly thereafter.
