History: Valandil grew up in a small elven kingdom Allanar. When he was a youngling he was drafted into the elven army where he met Raylan, who was the prince and the King’s only heir. The two originally did not get on, with the prince thinking he was better than anyone and didn't need to train with rest of the troops; that was until one fateful day where the prince was abducted by a band of orcs and his patrol were killed. It just so happened that Valandil was out hunting when he happened to come across the orcs resting. After a quick skirmish the orcs were defeated and the prince saved, after which the two were best friends often found together. They could often be seen causing mischief when the opportunity arose in their young, free times.
It was years later when Raylan had become king after his father was killed during battle that Valandil was given his own company. He then met and married his love Althea, a beauty amongst the elves who was a practitioner in the magic arts. Thier lives were normal for the time until orcs once more attacked and ransacked the kingdom, where King Raylan fell and so did his beloved Althea.
It was after the fall of his kingdom that Valandil began to travel and his way in the world, a reason for being a place to belong. There were many bad years that followed that would be better buried in the past. It was not long after when Valandil was found by the adventuring faun Crof, who recognised the pain that Valandil had been going through and in a drunken moment decided to take the broken elf in and dragged him into his adventures by taking the one possession Valandil held above all else; a silver ring with a blue gem in it that belonged to Althea. Crof promised to return it when he felt Valandil was the man he was supposed to be. It was during their years together that Valandil learned to read, write and speak faunish fluently, as well helping improve Valandil’s already impressive agility. Their partnership continued for many years, their group grew and shrunk but always they were together much like the days of old with Raylan, Valandil often thought. it was during this time that Crof revealed that he had been cursed and was dying and that the purpose of the adventures was to find the witch responsible. It took them awhile but they did find the witch's hideout and they slew the witch while losing many of their comrades. However, in the end the curse still took Crof, though he died in peace resting in his shack, which in a last request Valandil set light to send him to the great beyond to be with Drys.
Valandil then met an abandoned wolf pup which he raised, naming him Dak. Dak is grey and white and full of life. When talking with Dak Valandil often refers to himself as father raising the pup.
