The Baroness was a fierce and terrible woman who made Falerion life a living torment. She would treat him like a servant and would work to destroy any sort of affection between his father and him. But as she got pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy, Falerion fate was sealed she would remove him one way or the other.

His father to protect him from political turmoil sent him off to the seminary where Falerion could find a place to find home in the breast of the Holy Mother Church. It is here where he met the old Friar Father Aaron Starwind, a Quel'dorei Warpriest in service to the Church of the Holy Light currently stationed in the Diocese of Eastweald.
