After 1246 years of service in the Nyrilorns armies, Eldarion participated in numerous military interventions over all 7 kingdoms to ensure the balance of nature and peace reigning in each kingdom. Whether it was to help the neighbouring kingdoms suffering from the drought of 1000 years or to attack a den of seides preparing for battle, Eldarion was distinguished by his military feats.

But it was during the first war for Batilga that Eldarion shined by leading a counter-attack against an army of seides that besieged them. Supported by the magic of the heavy-support company of the patriarque Erebus, he led his air assault squad into a breakthrough alongside the matriarch Velidia, breaking enemy ranks and disorganizing its army, bringing a total victory against the seides who fled in all directions. Eldarion was rewarded for this success and was elevated to the rank of autarch by his matriarch, giving him command of the 4th regiment of the Velidia assault company.

A week after this futile attack, the new autarch thought it might be time to formalize his love relationship with Kirliata and propose to her, as he might not have the opportunity to do so in the future. Thus, during a day of rest, Eldarion and Kirliata ended by meeting in front of the doors of the palace of Argel'Tal, and after long moments of being, of exchanging kisses and sweet words, Eldarion took the hands of her beloved, knelt before her, and before Kirliata's astonished eyes, he made his request. Seized with immense joy, multiplying her love for him, Kirliata, tearing, responded favorably to his request before to come into Eldarion's arms and kissing him for a long time.

This was the first kiss that sealed their union, they now had to wait 1000 years before they could exchange a new kiss, thus respecting the protocol of their faith, proclaiming that the more precious a thing is, the rarer it is.

But even though love was a precious commodity in the eyes of the nyrilorns, betrayal was more recurrent. And unfortunately, only one moon after the marriage of Eldarion and Kirliata, the Nyrilorn people received an overwhelming message: Maltazard the benevolent, hero of the first kingdom and designer of the sword of power at the forge of the arcanes, was freed from his duties and responsibilities after being seduced by the deceptive beauty of a Poisoner named Tarantula.

The latter would have whispered promises of power in his ear, and Maltazard would have accepted the dark pact that united him with the poisonous, and in his blindness, exchanged with her a kiss that damned him forever.
