http://kael.civfanatics.net/images/Audio/Malakim.mp3
Desc: Elven servants of Arawn fled his domain into the shadowed vale, a valley kept perpetually in darkness by a thick mist that obscured the border between the vale and the world. There is a long story here, but the short of it is that Auric (as a teenager) and some friends were trapped in the vale and and accused of stealing from the elves. Varn was one of the elves and he believed the kids (Varn had never fit in well with his fellow elves). When he tried to sneak them out of the vale his brother caught them and an elven band was sent to catch them, and kill the kids (these weren't exactly your nice type of elves). Auric was just growing into his affinity for magic at the time and as the elven band set upon them and killed a few of the kids he reached through the vale for any source of magic he could find to use. The faint source he felt through it was the Sun, when he pulled it through he destroyed the barrier between the worlds and flooded the perpetually dark vale with light. The elvish band was blinded but Varn underwent a transformation, he saw Lugus in that light and was rewarded for his commitment to the truth (by trying to save the kids) by becoming a priest of Lugus. He left the Vale and built a temple to Lugus in a human city leading those that would follow him in the path of light.
