[h3]Background:[/h3]
[list]Backstory: Voron was a teenager when Inbur was conquered and he was quickly sent to live with and learn the ways of the newly conquered human subjects in the East.  Like many of the younger elgafolk in the East, Voron learned to enjoy a settled, human lifestyle, as an adult taking on the trappings of a human Lord and becoming a leading figure in the party at court calling for reforms within the Empire to improve society for the Inburians, Mittelvolk and other enslaved and downtrodden human groups, seeing this as the only way for the Empire to safeguard against a largescale human revolt in the East.  

For the last 50 years, Voron has spent half the year in Inbur and half the year in the Imperial capital of Alveby, a sprawling, indefensible city, half of which is usually tents from one nomadic tribe or another.

Voron, uniquely, among the many leaders, knows just how big the threat from the Blight actually is, having spent time in Grendell and ridden out with scouting parties to observe the devastated land and perversely mutated flora and fauna first hand.  

At the time of the assassination of his father, Voron blamed his younger brother Orrian for orchestrating the assassination.  Orrian, the leader of the Western ‘Traditionalist’ Faction, blamed Voron.  Voron moved to send guards to arrest Orrian, realising that his brother would raise his banner in the West, but by the time they arrived the Prince had already fled.

Orrian and Voron’s hastily assembled armies met at the Battle of Lysfelt where Orrian’s force of 7,400 troops drove Voron’s 9,700 troops from the field (with 756 of Orrian’s troops killed to 1,476 of Voron’s with an additional 2,400 taken prisoner).  Orrian personally commanded the battle, while Voron observed, leaving the actual command to his Generals.

With reinforcements too far away to be of any particular use, Voron gave the order to aband the capital to his brother and regroup in the Mittelvolkish city of Elvesland.
