I told you I had to do two prompts and God as my witness I will deliver.
Monday, Day 1: Origins
Where does your Commander come from? How did they grow up? Who influenced them when they were young and impressionable? What were their goals and aspirations? If they are Sylvari, what was it like waking up from the Dream?
Endalyon comes from the Heart of Maguuma. His (her, pre-HoT) pod was moved to the outskirts of Brisban Wildlands, with his siblings thinking that the pod was dead, since he took much longer to wake up, and decided it would be best to keep the lifeless pods far from the Tree. Endalyon’s first language is unknown, although its a tongue that Mordrem and Jungle Sylvari are fluent in. Endalyon was taught New Krytan by Firstborn Caithe.
Her first experience with other sylvari was with the Nightmare Court, then saved by Wardens. By the order of the Pale Tree, Caithe looked over Endalyon until she properly assimilated into the culture of the sylvari in the Grove.
Endalyon was always a wild Dreamless sylvari. Some called her feral. Once she knew the basics of New Krytan, she was allowed to explore the continent of Tyria to her hearts content. She was particularly adventurous when Destiny’s Edge formed and Caithe forbade her from following the guild to fight Kralkatorrik. She didn’t hold a grudge against Caithe, but did give Endalyon some abandonment issues.
1325, the Pale Tree told Endalyon that the reasoning behind the night terrors of Mordremoth’s calls was a Wyld Hunt to slay the Elder Dragons knocking at the Caledon’s doors. This gave Endalyon an obsession with killing the Dragons, almost to the point where every other threat seemed to pale in comparison.

Thirdborn Quinn, the first of her generation, is a Dawn Bloom who has an abstract Wyld Hunt relating to Primordus and Jormag. Her waking was sudden, like it was too soon. The Dream hadn’t shown her everything, sure, she saw the blackened ice and the scorched earth, but when she tried to peer into the water that seemed to move with a mind of it’s own, she was awoken.
After she saw one of the Thirdborn get ripped apart by a pack of undead, Quinn accused all the Firstborn of being too lax towards the threat of the Risen slowly encroaching on the Caledon Forest. Trahearne, her biggest influence for the little time she was considered a sapling (as a scholar who’s Hunt wasn’t a corporeal target,) attempted to calm the elementalist down, but she left the Grove in a ball of lightning and fire, and set out to study the Destroyers and their master.
She eventually took the rest of her brothers and sisters that held the same feelings, who would be called the Blades of Frostfire, and studied under Quinn, who had a tendency to combine elements and make her own spells to work around her magic disability, including making elemental arms that connected to the body and letting the mage have their body as a weapon.
