Son of The House of Steel
Born into the House of Steel, Thamior was a product of its unyielding creed: honour, control, and silence. He trained in martial and tactical disciplines from childhood and was chosen as a war tactician by the time he came of age. He was feared not just for his skill in battle but for his unwavering judgement.
He was wed to Lady Velarienne Avenloré, heir of the House of Scholars, in a match meant to unite sword and scroll — legacy and strength. The marriage was arranged following his celebrated victory in The Ascendant March, sealing his rise in both esteem and status.
The Ink-Stained Knight
The title Ink-Stained Knight was earned during a now-mythologised campaign — a war waged against what the Evergild called a “feral rebellion.” The truth, now obscured, hints at a brutal suppression of knowledge, not a noble defence. Thamior returned from that war with blood and ink on his hands — literal ink, according to rumour, smeared from the pages of forbidden texts or from a vow made over a burning archive.
- Public Myth: He defended Evergild interests from insurgents who threatened order.
- Quiet Rumour: He found something among the rebels — a truth — and never spoke of it again.
- Possible Truth: The uprising may have involved a rival vision of history, one the Evergild sought to erase.
Personality & Legacy
- To his peers: Distant, disciplined, dangerously intelligent.
- To his children: Cold, but protective. He softened most visibly around Syraëlle, his eldest.
- To Gwynviène: A memory cloaked in iron and ink — not cruel, but unreadable.
He died before Gwynviène was old enough to truly know him, but his legacy lingers in the family’s unease around truth, history, and how it’s recorded. It’s said that Gwynviène’s rebellious curiosity is the final echo of Thamior’s unspeakable regret
He died thought of as a hero — carved in stone, praised in books — but he knew himself to be the villain.
Thamior Avenloré left behind more than polished medals and official records. In a forgotten box of old papers, his granddaughter uncovered traces of another man entirely: conflicted, impassioned, and burdened by choices unspoken. Hidden letters hinted at a love affair beyond the bounds of duty, a child born in silence, and a lifetime of guarded regret. Thamior never spoke of it aloud, not even to his family — but his words linger still, scrawled in hurried ink and sorrowful margins. To the world, he remains a gilded figure of legacy. But to Gwynviène, and now Serenne, he is something more complicated — and far more human.
