Valan, God of the First Circle, Lord of Trade and Travel, Son of Air and Water
Valan is the Eternal Wanderer: Always moving, always changing.
The mortal Merelia could capture the heart of the fickle god and for a moment he actually rested and fathered a child – Veleae. But he couldn’t suppress his nature for long, so he started to travel again. His family understands his nature, so they always welcome him when his heartache guides him home.
At the being of time Valan with the aid of his sister Barar mediated a peace treaty between his squabbling siblings.
