Ademar Emeric

Ademar Emeric, also known as The Hand of Light and Aveena's Blade, was a slave-turned-warrior who helped free humanity from the subjugation of the Sentinels during The Dark Age. He was chosen by the goddess of justice herself to perform the task, as he showed unfathomable courage in the face of his captors during his time in slavery.

Legend & Legacy
Ademar was born to a mother and father he never knew, for he was taken away after birth. He spent the first seventeen years of his life in slavery, mining in quarries in search of precious gemstones to appease King Erethos. Nearing his eighteenth birth day, he was taken away in the dead of night by a woman he had never seen. She revealed he would be the savior of all humanity in the years to come.

According to the legends, he trained for ten years on end, until returning to civilization to amass an army of freed slaves. He took the slaves far away from the quarries and forests they had toiled in all their lives, and trained them with sword, spear and magic, before returning to overthrow King Erethos and reclaim the freedom of his people. He succeeded as king after defeating Erethos in a duel. His first act was to have all surviving sentinels executed and burned, to ensure they would never do harm to humankind again.

After rising up to rule the land, Ademar was given the title Hand of Light, for he was a stalwart servant of both Aveena and his people. He discovered the agent who had freed him, Iriya, was a sentinel, and went on to marry her despite it. He fathered a part-demigod son, Edgar Emeric, who would later go on to assume his father's throne and establish The Order of Aveena in his honor. Ademar died of an unknown illness before his sixtieth birth day, though left behind an undying legacy that will never be forgotten.
