The inspiration for this story comes from the creation of a roleplaying game I am creating called Avalera. Valenhearth is one of the many nations within the world. Avalera is a land of fantasy and magic.

Valenhearth is a country far in the north. It is cold with high mountains and deep valleys. The people value family and their history. Great cities are carved inside mountains. Riches come from there mines. They are master stone crafters, storytellers, and jewelers. 

This is the story of Tristen. When a child of Valenhearth comes of age he or she must venture out into the world on a trial. Completing the trial means they are now an adult and can take a place in the family. Failure can have grave consequences. Those who fail can be sold as slaves or indentured servants. To die on your trial is a more honorable end then failure. 

As part of the trial your true name is revealed. This is to allow the magic within you to awaken. Follow Tristan on his path to becoming a man.

For a thousand years they roamed the Earth. And for a thousand years they thought of her. Because how could you forget the one person who brought light even into the most dreadful of times? The one person who seemed to be intertwined with their very beings? How could you forget the person you blame yourself for dying? How could you forget the person your own schemes had killed? How could you forget the person who died for your secrets? How could you forget the person who died because you wouldn't leave her? How could you forget the person you've only ever loved from afar? And how could you forget the person who was continuously there? They would lose her, grieve and miss her for centuries... And then she'd be there again. Coming to the one who needed her most. Becoming a solace and becoming home. Only to be lost all over again. The Mikaelson couldn't forget her. But Jane Harmon could. It was an odd thing, thinking that one might forget themselves. But that was what happened. That was how it went every time. And each time she did not realize it until she found them again. Because that was what her soul seemed most intent on. Finding them. Like it was searching for pieces of herself that had been scattered throughout space and time. Never to be complete again. Until now... Until this life... The one which would be her last. ----- The Vampire Diaries [Season 2+] The Mikaelson siblings x OC AU elements at certain points

What if the Myth were real and everything else mattered not? What if your very soul hung in the balance? Enter a land where the Myth is real, but many have forgotten or scorn the Truth and those who fight to uphold it. The adventure is about to begin, for even those who fight for justice are about to rediscover why. This story is not just another tale of an orphan who finds a magic sword, discovers a forgotten lineage, finds a few friends, and conquers an overwhelming evil. This is a story that crosses a continent, transcends time, plunges deep into the very soul of man, and explores all the vastness and intricacies of life. It is a story of good and evil, love and war, truth and absurdity, courage and faith, hope and despair, humor and adventure, and everything that moves the human soul. Whether viewed as Truth or Myth, it is a tale to make one think and a story full of adventure, intrigue, love, sorrow, hope, and humor: much like this dance we call life. It is a fairy story in that it involves unicorns, dragons, and other uncommon beasts and certain aspects of magic, but it is also a human story that explores the questions, doubts, fears, and triumphs common to the hearts of men. The Brethren are an ancient brotherhood entrusted with preserving and disseminating knowledge, truth, and justice since time began; they have survived indifference, hostility, disaster, war, plague, and obscurity but ever they persevere in their age-old duties. Of late, they have fallen into obscurity due to over-caution and the forgetfulness of the people they serve. A strange encounter rouses them from their secrecy and sends one of their most talented agents into the heart of a sworn enemy only to unveil an even older and more dangerous foe.
