As twins, Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia are very close. They were born in the humble village of Byroden due to the union of a human woman named Elaina and an elven man named Syldor Vessar. The twins lived with Elaina for the first ten years of their life before they were sent to live in Syngorn, where their father lived. During this time, Vax had received training in the ways of the blade from his elven instructors and Vex proved to be a rather studious child in lessons. At one point in their youth, Vax had given Vex a pair of blue feathers during one of her darkest hours.
