Strise Crowhelm was still a toddler when his parents immigrated to Vaelinor to escape the vicious nature of their homeland. Vaelinor is a peaceful kingdom in the mountains who has not taken sides in wars or world conflict, leaving it untouched to attacks. Vaelinor is in touch with the nature surrounding it and the locals are sweet. Despite Strise being raised in Vaelinor and basically knowing nothing else, his appearance constantly reminds the locals that he isn't one.
