Champion of Dawn
The story is about a man named Geordan Auroran who is a native of Skyreach and a knight-errant. He's an only son of a minor noble in Skyreach, in the trading village of Faulterth. He was raised by his parents as a young man who is virtuous yet, full of curiosity and treats his people equally making him well-known to the commonfolk.
In his coming of age, after being knighted by his father and to further hone his skills as a knight, he was sent to the capital of Central Gaedas, the Imperial City of Cyrius. He was registered to the Imperial Military Academy and began his studies for two years.
Unbeknownst to him, his homeland I is in the middle of a civil war, the Duke of Winterhelm, Duke Jarric the Chillrend, killed the new High King of Skyreach in a duel for the crown. Jarric killed the newly King because he disapproved how dependent Skyreach have become to the Empire, and Jarric ultimately believes that the "true" Highlanders must stand on their own never bow to anyone but themselves.
As a knight of the Empire and a son of Skyreach, his resolve was shaken between serving his homeland or staying true to his oath as a knight of the Empire. The conflict was more than he thought as he witnessed innocent people who are not even involved to the conflict are also getting in between the slaughter of the two opposing sides. Is this the welcoming he will receive from his homeland after returning for the past two years?
This is the tale of how Geordan Auroran became the legend known as Champion of Dawn, a fabled title given to the one who bears the radiance of the God of Creation.
