Aldaren Valmoore

'''Aldaren Valmoore is currently Lord of House Valmoore, as well as a former knight of House Hightower. Formerly living within Stormwind with his now deceased father, Aldaren travels Azeroth looking for a purpose in life.'''

History
Early Life: Aldaren was born to his mother Selena Valmoore and Turalius Valmoore, a member of the House of Valmoore. He lived a happy life and simple life until the day the undead came, the day that changed his entire life.

Recovering "Quel' Zaram":
Aldaren lived within the Valmoore Manor due to his parents wanting their son to have a life away from rascism and war. On Aldaren's thirteen birthday, his father told him that he would be able to finally start training to become a paladin. Turalius and Aldaren took a carriage ride over to the town of Brill within Lordaeron. The duo traveled into a small building over looking the town. That is where they met one of Turalius' oldest friends. They were greeted with a big hug along with a wide smile. Turalius ripped apart a wall with a hammer and revealing a long silver blade. Gently, Turalius picked up the blade and showed it to his son. Aldaren was amazed and held the blade like a true warrior. His father smiled and sheathed it into his belt. His father said, " My son, this blade has been through our family for generations, to weild this mighty blade you must learn the ways of a paladin, we will start tommorow." At this moment Aldaren decided to dedicate his life into becoming a paladin.

A Grim Night:
After the two recovered the legendary sword they traveled back to the manor. As they reached the ebon gates of House Valmoore horrifying screams were heard. Turalius quickly unsheathed his blade and told Aldaren to hide. Aldaren quickly hid within the carriage, waiting for his father to return. Sadly, the undead along with necromancers attacked the once beautiful manor. Turalius quickly dispatched his foes with clean swipes of his blade. The head necromancer turned out to be Aldaren's uncle and quickly took Selena (Aldarens mom) out of the manor. The horrid man was planning a public execution of the boy's mother. Aldaren's father ran as fast as he could to save his wife but was quickly overran by undead monsters. The frightened child peeped his head out of the carriage looking straight into his mother's eyes. It was there that his mother cried out a warning to Aldaren before she was fatally wounded. The necromancer saw Aldaren jump out of the carriage and sent undead hounds after him. On that grim night, wind howled, thunder crackled and screams were heard. Aldaren tumbled down a hill and ran as fast as he could. Luckily, Aldaren found a bridge and hid under it until morning.

A Whole New World:
The next morning Aldaren was woken by a middle aged warrior in dark red armor. This man was a scarlet crusader named Sir Jonathan Evermoore. Jonathan asked Aldaren what he was doing and Aldaren sobbed while telling him everything. The crusader said " Enough boy, just a better reason for you to bring justice to the undead". The sobbing boy was brought into the the Scarlet Crusade as a squire to Sir Jonathan Evermoore.

A World Painted In Blood:
Aldaren adjusted into scarlet life without ease, everyday he would do tasks for Sir Evermoore. Evermoore began teaching Aldaren the ways of a warrior. After a year the once frightened boy became a seasoned warrior. Scars marked his body from endless training and deadly fights. Over the years Aldaren was noticing signs of corruption. One day when Aldaren was going to the courtyard he saw Sir Evermoore wielding a familliar blade. The one his father showed him on the day his parents died. Aldaren asked the man where he got that and Sir Evermoore said " I've had this blade since I was a boy". A furious Aldaren yelled " THAT IS NOT YOURS, IT BELONGED WITHIN MY FAMILY FOR YEARS!" Evermoore merely smirked and said " You know better boy". Moments later Aldaren was beaten with a whip for a hour, Aldaren did not falter. News was heard that the Scarlets destroyed a town of innocent people, Aldaren noticed the corruption and designed a plan.

The Escape Plan:
It was a dark night with raging storms that waned for hours. The warrior discretely grabbed a sharp pole from one of the target dummies and slipped it into his tabard. Later within the bright halls of Scarlet Monastary, Sir Evermoore was designing a attack plan to obliterate a village within the south. Aldaren walked through the halls and into Evermoore's corridors. Sir Evermoore said " Prepare the ballistas for the attack on Gloomshire, damn them all." Aldaren quickly retaliated by saying " No, you do not deserve to live." He then took out the sharp pole and drove it through his heart. Before leaving the room, he took the legendary blade and opened the window to jump out. Before leaving through the window, Aldaren's best friend found the fallen corpse of Evermoore with horror. The friend yelled " Traitor!' and shot a arrow right into Aldaren's eye, he then fell out of the window. A injured Aldaren ripped the arrow out and hobbled into the forest . Before Aldaren could finally be free his ex-friend held a blade out. Luckily, Aldaren had a pistol within his belt and he whispered " Do not let me do this my brother". His friend thought he was a coward and wouldn't do it but Aldaren was no coward. WIth a ferocious roar the Valmoore pulled the trigger and shot the friend dead. With a injured eye, the man ran to Gloomshire and stole a horse.

A Long Journey:
After the scarlet situation Aldaren healed his eye and placed a eyepatch on. His plan was to go to Stormwind to train as a paladin. For weeks he traveled while fighting monsters with his legendary sword. When he reached Loch Modan he came upon a wild gryphon. Aldaren slowly crept upon the mythical beast with sme fine elven rope. With a quick throw Aldaren tried to lasso the gryphon but the best flew away carrying the half elf. A horrified Aldaren looked at the landscape below and tamed the gryphon afte a long flight. The two quickly bonded and headed to Stormwind City. After a long journey Aldaren reached the gates of Stormwind and was awestruck. Before entering, a black hood was placing on Aldaren's head due to him being a half elf. When Aldaren entered the Cathedral he was quickly placed as a paladin trainee of Stormwind. It wa there were he grew into a strong,valorous and intelligent paladin after years of training.
