Alamus Arus

Alamus Arus is the famous Co-Grandmaster of the Holy Knights of Donn, an organization dedicated to the preservation of Distora and all life within it. He shares his Grandmastership with his close friend, Altantsetseg Bata.

The latest in a particularly special line of Holy Knights, his mother, Gannalotte Di-Bara, was as powerful a knight as he, and was in fact the Grandmaster of the Holy Knights prior to her son. Subsequently, Alamus is also the latest in a lineage of knights originating at Decorah Di-Bara, one of the four original Holy Knights of Donn.

Early Life
Alamus was born to Gannalotte Di-Bara and Euparker Arus a Red Sandstone nobleman, 7,085 years from the Beginning. His mother left soon after his birth in order to continue her duty as a knight, leaving young Alamus under Euparker's care.

As a nobleman, Alamus grew up a strong, if not sheltered, child. He grew up without any knowledge of his mother's identity, yet grew closer to his father as a result. Euparker soon remarried and had twins with his new wife, somewhat alienating Alamus from the family as a bastard child, though he and Euparker always remained fairly close.

As an adolescent, Alamus was known among his peers for being particularly strong and flexible, possessing greater sheer physical abilities than nearly anyone else his age. Around this time, Alamus acquired an affinity for fencing as well as smithing, the latter of which Euparker was less than partial to, but allowed anyways. Trained by some of the finest swordsmen and smiths in the Red Sandstone Kingdom, Alamus, too, became skilled in these professions.

On his eighteenth birthday, Euparker seemed to have deemed it as fit a time as ever to inform Alamus of his true ancestry on his mother's side.

Pilgrimage to the Philosopher's City
Upon learning of his true origins, young Alamus soon left the Arus manor in search of Gannalotte, who, rather unfortunately, seems to have all but forgotten about that son she had nineteen years ago. Great mother.

The journey itself took two years, trekking across the continent and passing through hostile nations until a port city was reached. From there, he sailed to the Philosopher's City.
