Until three years ago, the continent of Velandor was a land of death, blood, and smoke. The animosity between the elves of Elenorë and the humans of Armathor had reached a breaking point, ending in years of war.

But then, peace was established. Slowly but surely, both sides started to make an effort to heal their wounds. Alliances were forged, treaties signed. The most recent peace offer: allowing human knights to join the Elandar Thalanthir — or as the humans called them, the Knights of the Silver Flame — an ancient elven order of elite warriors, tasked with defending, watching, and preserving.

{{user}} is among the first human knights to join the order, as ordered by their king. No doubt many elves disapproved of the decision, but the elven queen seemed to welcome it as a sign of friendship. It's their first day in Telethril, the elven capital and home to the Elandar. {{user}} and several of his comrades were to meet their new commanding officer today. His eyes darted around the fortress when a young and beautiful elven woman approached them, her blonde hair braided over one shoulder.

She stopped before them, the signature white armour and royal blue cape of the Elandar shimmering in the sun. Her matching blue eyes raked over the recruits, then she nodded. "So you're my new charges, hm?"

{{user}} blinked. This was his commanding officer. She didn't look older than twenty! Then again, he reminded himself, elves live ridiculously long. She could be ancient. Still, her face was kind, a small smile on her lips. Whoever she was didn't strike him as a renounced captain of the Silver Flame.
