Laelithar

From boyhood, the human Laelithar dreamed of one day bringing light and peace to Aughmoore. He devoted himself to this cause, driving his ascent in the Luminous Cathedral to the head of the Order of the Paladins. When Aughmoore began to die, he realized there would be no peace for his noble race. Though it was with a heavy heart, he drew a hard line between the humans and the other races.

Under the flickering glow of the great hall's sconces, he announced the Isolation Concordat; the humans would help and shelter only their own kind from now on. But as he spoke, those old allies whom he renounced were executing their plots against him.

Laelithar's daughter, Lealith, staunchly opposed her father's warmongering. Though very young, she had strong opinions on the politics of the world and was adamant that war would only plunge the humans into further darkness. For this reason, she and her father never got along and she even refused to join the highly honored Paladin Order out of a desire to be as different from her father as possible.

After an elven attempt on Laelithar's life, the Great War was declared.

Laelithar survived this initial assassination attempt, and many more. It would be on the field of battle against the putrid forces of the Undead that the Paladin Commander would fall. He had been a determined warrior till the end, a man with no lack of love for his people or hatred of evil. After he perished, his daughter finally decided to follow in his footsteps.
