Valian

Valian (born Gregory Wallaster) was an erinian general who became the 13th Grand Protector of Erinia.

Valian was a career soldier that had served under grand protector Honorian in his conquests in Mikana. He quickly rose up the ranks to become a general, where he earned himself a legendary reputation in Palnama. From 1071-1075, Valian and his army conquered the states of Lhynkis, Tozelia and Regia, adding swathes of new territory to the commonwealth. Valian quickly became one of the most popular men in the commonwealth and a popular choice as the next grand protector.

In 1076, Honorian awarded Valian with the title of High Marshal, despite some rumours that Honorian actually despised Valian and his popularity. In 1079, Honorian died after a long struggle with cancer, Valian succeeding him as grand protector.

He was succeeded by Paul Nousen Gendelson.
