Erias Amarin. One of the legendary figures of the Realm. Nobody could repeat his feat of wielding opposing elements simultaneously since his death. Not even his descendants.Every member of the Amarin family is known to master opposing elements. Currently, only the Angel of Death is known to switch between them seamlessly while fighting. Yet she is yet to cast them as her ancestor did. The art of fusion has eluded the family for four millennia by now. When his light shone on the battlefield, it brought darkness. When his flames rampaged through the mortal enemy of Meriath, they flowed like water. Nothing could extinguish them as they burnt above ground and underwater. When the darkness of the Undead engulfed the land, his light pushed it back, showing them what darkness within the light truly meant. He was one of the Sages who led from the front, present in all of the decisive battles from the start of the Dark Ages to its end. A fearless warrior, first to arrive at the battle and last to leave it. After the Day of VictoryIt is celebrated every year, signaling a start of a new year., he resettled, establishing the House of Amarin, raising his descendants, and staying in his newly built castle until his death in 1E60.
