Valefor
From SCross
The greater spirit of Sound, associated with the element of Air she is a great raptor whose wing span can shadow a village if she flies over it. The guardian of the Great Skies, charged by the Emperor of the Wind Pandemonium himself to guard, protect and keep the peace of his vast realm.
She is a kindly spirit, though fierce when it comes to protecting the denizens and visitors to the Great Skies never hesitating to unleash the full force of her sonic wind to banish those who bring violence to the Great Skies. Valefor can usually be found by following the sound of her voice, flying her eternal circuit through the cloud strewn skies of the great realm of air, her voice lifted in song, from high cascading arias to jolly uplifting tavern songs to deep mournful airs of forgotten times and long lost memories.
History of Valefor
In recent years Valefor has been forgotten by Gaia, the Great Skies have been quiet with few summoners visiting the realm. In the dawn of Gaia, when Pandemonium tamed the 4 winds it is said that Valefor was a minor spirit of air. With humanoid form and the most enchanting voice ever heard.
Valefor sacrificed herself to keep the wild West wind distracted, in the final stages of shaping the Urn of Winds the great West Wind became aware of what Pandemonium attempted. In a great rage the West Wind attacked the workshop where Pandemonium worked but it paused, a single female spirit sat on a rock outside and when the wind surrounded her in rage and fire she raised her voice and started to sing.
An enchanting song, catching the west wind off guard and holding it, spell bound by the beauty of that song the West Wind paused, held sway and let the sighing of its being join that endless haunting melody. Three days she held the west wind, three days their song was heard, three days the young spirit sang until as the sun was setting on the final day Pandemonium stood up and with the Urn of Winds, tamed the skies of Gaia and the might of the 4 winds now called to him.
Valefor however was spent, her exhausted form falling forwards as her being started to ebb away, three days of un-ending song. But her passing was not to be, the Emperor of the Wind and his new servants the 4 winds reached out, their power combining to give her life, over sound she was set the great winged raptor Valefor.
Current History
Valefor however had been absent from the Spirit Cosmology for a 1000 years. Shortly after Holy happened but before the Spirits forged the Great Pact with the Grand Summoner something unusual happened.
Valefor vanished, she was not to be found anywhere and though Pandemonium and other searched she was not been found. Never forgotten but her absence was felt keenly especially in the Great Skies and amongst those who would call upon the Greater Spirit of Sound.
In the year 1031ah Valefor made a sudden and unexpected return to the courts. Her spirit was discovered, trapped in a chamber deep within ancient ruins in the foothills outside of Santa Meringia. A group of intrepid explorers were able to release her and with gratitude and thanks the song of the Lady of Sound reverberated around the world.
Her song was heard in every corner of the world, throughout the depths of the spirit courts, the joyous sound of singing encompassed the world as Valefore rejoined her Emperor in the palace of the winds!
