La'ridah of mortal being was born a child- or better said- created as a child, from a single hint of twilight-infused essence of La'ridah of Twilight Being. Forged in the citadel of Tier Shabbeth, Calus attempted to enfuse the essence with that of another Shafiri chosen- Sharil. Realizing that the Eonar, Ganis of Storms, had become a threat to her land, she was unable to face him directly due to ancient pacts.
After the falling of Arcos, Calus was alone once more. Set to finding a second herald, she chose another ancient native of Califran. Locating a lone isle within the southern shard of Facundas Fatum, Calus chose one for her cause. Unlike Arcos who had been formed to her will, Sharil had a sentience of her own- a conscience that Calus hoped would not be tainted, as had been the first of the fallen. Infused with Calus' own essence as one of the Shafirii, Sharil acted as Calus' herald for millenia.
Desperate for a champion that could stop him, she acted with impulse to infuse Sharil with the only remnant of the ancient Aegon, La'ridah. Hoping to empower her chosen with the strength of the Aegon with a promise to allow Sharil to return to her land, Calus acted quickly to fuse the two within the citadel of creation. However, her underestimation of the Aegon remnant led to unanticipated events.
She had not taken to account that her herald had already been infused with the essence of herself- an Eonar. To infuse yet another essence- especially one of greater ascent was to delve into the erratic and unknown. Instead of a familiar herald, Calus found a child- a baby boy at her feet. Sensing Sharil's essence within the child, she attempted to free her herald with a touch, only to fly back in pain, drained of strength and mind.
With what little strength remained, Calus managed to wrap the child with a cloth and set him adrift in the endless sea, pushing him north towards his destined lands. As he grew distant, Calus could no longer sense Sharil, as the child had taken a great deal of strength from her. Lost in the sea from all, the boy continued to float north, until he would land at the shores of Argorath.
