"We are shadows dancing in the dark, a sigh left upon a wayward breeze, we are sweet inspiration, falling to our knee's..."

Much if Kielan's early life was spent on his parents estate, a fairly privaliged upbrining saw Kielan introduced to many things in his education, especially taking a shine to writing and music.

A gifted musician and writer, Kielan quickly drew attension and there was much talk of sending him to become a journeyman and that he would become master harper one day, but it was not to be.

Upon the comming of the scourge, Kielan like so many watched so many of his loved one's die, his father slain defending the gate, his dear brother cut down defending the lands of his father, Kielan swore then that he would become a knight and avenge his family.

Fortunate for Kielan his fathers friend, a great knight of the old ways decided to take him under his wing and after several months of tending his horse and cleaning his armour, he was made the honour of being the squire to Sir Venitar Sunrunner.

Very soon Kielan learned the horrors of war, acompanying his master to the battlefield, having to fend off troll and scourge and demon...many battles befell the young elf as he grew up knowing constant war.

To please his master and to keep himself sane, Kielan turned back to his first love, music, writing songs and playing for the troops to raise thier morale, he quickly grew to be known as the Squire of song and much liked by all.

War never changed Kielan, it never satisfied his want for vengeance, his lust for war faded very quickly indeed, his master teaching him that war was only sweet to those who have never tasted it and that ultimately all war is futile.

Kielan grew to love Sir Venitar as his father and as so cruely in fate's game he was taken from him during the Shattered Sun Offensive, on a routine patroll his master had gone ahead to check on a scout who had failed to return, he was cowardly knocked from his horse, climbing to stand his ground as a horde of demons quickly surrounded him and took thier advantage.

Watching in disbelief as his master dissapeared into the mob, he heard his roar one last time, a defiant cry in the darkness, a blindling light eminated from within and many demons fell to his mighty blade, a true knight of the light he fought despite desperate odds untill finally run through cowardly in the back.

Seeing such a valiant last stand, the rest of the army appearing to late to save him, in a rage and furvor they attacked at once, Kielan leading the charge in a blind rage as he tried to reach his fallen master, a fierce fight insumed and victory was won thanks to the inspired spirit of Sir Venitar.

Unconsolable at the loss of his master, Kielan was sent back to camp and there for a week he dwelled upon his loss.

He was sent to spend time recovering in Shattrath, there only in music did he find solace, but soon he let the bitterness pass him by, his true nature shining through once again as he pledged to leave war behind him and follow his true love, music.

Kielan returned to Silvermoon a brave veteran soldier of the Shattered sun Offensive, but alas his return was marked by tragedy... Kielans beloved Fiance` Shanien had been seen waiting for his return on many a day upon the clifftops of the harbour, but by some cruel twist of fate had sadly slipped and fell into the sea only days before his return, never to be seen again.

Overwhelmed by loss Kielan grieved for several days, untill a urgent messenger summond him from his sorrow to attend to duty, he was informed that Sir Venitar having no next of kin had left it all to him, his armour, his steed, house and lands.

But that wasen't all, Sir Venitar felt Kielan to truely understand the meaning of to be of the light and believed he posessed the virtues and goodness of heart requires, he had therefore left behind a letter in his will requesting that Kielan should take his place amonst the knights.

As a tribute to the great war hero, Kielan was duely knighted and given leave to find his calling and decide which unit he wished to pledge his sword to, overwhelmed totally bemused and still saddend by loss, Kielan walked out to the Stillwhisper pond and began to play and compose his music once more... several weeks later, the knight still does... and sings to whoever care's to listen... to the Knight of Dream and song.
