Beldarion Bardor II

Beldarion Bardor II was the son of Alec Bardor and Aliana Betennin, named for his grandfather who had fought in the War of the Calaran Ocean and who passed away just before Beldarion II's birth.

Beldarion was an only child for several years as his parents dealt with marital issues and was often lonely. This was fixed when he finally got a brother, Merlin. Despite the eight year age difference the two were nearly inseperable but it did not last. Health issues had dominated much of Merlin's life and, in 1894, one of the illnesses became fatal. It was a devastating blow for Beldarion, who had spent his teen years not searching for a wife but tending to his brother who had become so dear to him. When his mother became pregnant again the next year it was difficult for him to cope but when Gracella Bardor was born, Beldarion could not help but love his far younger sister. During this time Beldarion moved out of his parents' house, but remained in a separate building on their property as another one could not be afforded.

Much like his grandfather, Beldarion II fought to defend his family when their home was invaded by the Costaratan Empire in 1901. Although the invasion was eventually beaten back, it was not without high cost of lives, including Beldarion's father Alec.

With Alec dead and Aliana no longer able to work due to having a young child, Beldarion was now supporting the entire family on his own, and any thoughts of marriage were out of the question. Even so, when the Haskell family moved to Sanhaivon and hired Beldarion to fix up their property, he began to fall for their oldest daughter Jane, who was twenty, six years his junior. A year into their relationship Beldarion was forced to make a choice when her parents began demanding that she marry and move out of barren Sanhaivon, but Beldarion could not support his mother's family and have one of his own. However, it all worked out when Beldarion's uncle and employer, Martin Betennin, sold his business and bought Aliana's house with that money, providing her enough funds to move elsewhere in search of stability. Beldarion married Jane on Tentheto 5, 1905 and their son Tristan was born six months later. Beldarion, Jane, Aliana, Gracella, and Martin set off eastward out of Gelavon to seek a new home.
