History of Persona:
Born to Dilany and Carmeiln, their eldest was destined to follow in his father's footsteps. Music was a part of his life from day one, he grew up playing drums, and singing almost before he could talk.

After a few scrapes as a child in harper led classes, he apprenticed to his father's craft. He seemed destined for a career as a singer, but when his voice broke, it became clear that he was not going to have a good enough voice to be the singer he'd hoped to become.

Carlan then threw his energies into teaching, as a junior journeyman his potential was picked up by the hallmaster, who told him so and encouraged him.

Now having become a Senior Journeyman, he has been posted to Sapphire Meadows.

Carlan left Sapphire Meadows hold recently when Lord Nikeves found out about his relationship with his daughter Nikanna. The pair left when he arranged a new posting at Garnet Valley Hold where they could get married and be together.
