Aridan the Hunter

The Silver Elf clan is the oldest of the Celedanis fighting clans. It is respected and true to tradition. It was ruled by the Arheil family for generations, but that all changed when Garrenel Arheil left this world without leaving an heir. Her only children, Aridan and Maidar, were male and too young to lead the clan.
The families that were part of the clan argued for a long time who should now rule it. About the young children of Garrenel. They became simple warriors.
Inborn talent, determination inherent in all elves, and fraternal mutual assistance made Aridan an excellent shooter, and his brother a swordsman. While the new heads of the clan succeeded each other, bogged down in quarrels and intrigues, the children of Garrenel honed the art of combat and tactics. Very quickly, the brothers became squad leaders, and one of the best fighters of the clan.When the Cataclysm occurred, Akkari’s swarm reminded Signum of its existence. Thousands of spider elves left the bloody swamps to attack Vallor. The Arheil brothers volunteered to go on a reconnaissance mission.
“We can’t risk two of the best fighters at once. Only one of you will go to the continent.” The clan council replied to the brothers.
The lot decided their fate: Maidar disappeared into the lands of the cursed elves along with his entire detachment. Aridan was broken and furious. He blamed the council for his brother’s death and sought revenge on both the clan council and the Akkari. It’s time to claim your rights to the head of the clan.
– The greatest of the warrior clans? For almost a hundred years you have been fighting each other for a position that none of you deserves! Pride has become your goal, and conspiracies and tricks have replaced weapons! You trample on traditions even more than if the clan was ruled by a man! – he said.
The clan council was furious at the audacity of the young elf, but he really was the heir to the Arheil family, and almost all the soldiers were on his side. The council argued for a long time and finally came to an agreement, for the first time in a long time.
– You will become the head of the clan, but only if you perform a feat worthy of a new head. Go to the lands of the Akkari and don’t you dare return until you bring us five heads of the Queen of Sorrow’s minions!
The Council decided that such a task was beyond the power of anyone and the impudent elf would simply perish trying to complete it. They were wrong. As soon as Aridan returned with the trophies and the title transfer ceremony took place, the entire old clan council was sent to the front lines in the war against the cursed elves.
