Valmyr, son of Thorval

Valmyr is the eldest son of Thorval and Elya, a son of the first folk. He is the main protagonist of Shadow of Dawn and plays a recurring role in the rest of the series.

History
Valmyr was born in the depths of the Dawnwood into the long-lasting bloodring of Hjem of the Snows. Like all of the first folk, he grew up under the constant menace of the old kin and with an unshakable faith in Father Fyr and Mother Mhor. An able hunter, Valmyr is doted with his people's instinct of survival, the hopefulness of his father and the courage of his mother.

Shadow of Dawn
Forced into exile from his home by the proliferation of the old kin, Valmyr fled east with what was left of his bloodring and discovered the Vauk, the lands of Men. The night following the massacre of most of his bloodring on the sacred hill-top, he encountered Vyrda the Crone and a wolf pup trapped in a haven. In the night, Vyrda passed away and the daemon known as Arakhin left her body and entered Valmyr's. Possessed by this new and dark companion, Valmyr survives the journey east, but is separated from Valhilde, Mara and Yull.
