	Balrion is a solitary ranger from the deep forests of [[Raven's Nest]]—a man more at home beneath towering pines than within city walls.

Quiet, precise, and often difficult to read, Balrion is the sort of figure who speaks only when he believes it matters. Though he lives apart from most of Directionland, he has repeatedly emerged during moments of crisis, offering aid, warnings, and fragments of knowledge that suggest he knows far more than he is willing to say openly.{{Infobox character\|name=Balrion Blackwing\|image=BalrionBlackwing.png\|image_alt=BalrionBlackwing\|image_caption=Balrion Blackwing\|race=Humekind\|age=30+ cycles\|nationality=Directionland\|origin=Raven's Nest\|occupation=Ranger\|status=Alive\|game_image=BalrionIG.png}}

	== About ==		== About ==
	Little is known about ~~his past~~, though ~~it’s~~ said he was raised by the High Raven of [[Raven's Nest]] after a fire claimed his family farm ~~when Balrion was 12~~. He rarely speaks of it. ~~He left to settle near St. Stylinson~~, ~~but~~ settled in the ~~Dargwood where he~~ developed an interest in ~~archeology and~~ history~~. Now~~, ~~he wanders the wilderness with~~ the ~~ease~~ of ~~someone who has known hardship and found peace in the wild~~. ~~Some call him~~ a ~~protector. Others whisper that he’s a watcher—keeping track of movements and changes no one else sees~~.		Little is known about Balrion’s early life, though it is said he was raised by the High Raven of [[Raven's Nest]] after a fire claimed his family farm in his youth. He rarely speaks of that time. In later years, he settled in the wilds and developed a strong interest in history, forgotten records, and the old ways of Directionland. He now resides at a woodland home known as '''The Perch''', living largely apart from settled life.

	Balrion has ~~been seen aiding~~ the [[Defenders of Mundus]] ~~during moments of great crisis, often appearing just when needed most. He speaks with reverence~~ of the ~~old ways and occasionally references saints and spirits rarely mentioned in the cities. Though he denies belonging to any political faction~~, ~~he’s recently shown interest in~~ the ~~wellbeing~~ of [[Prince Ethian]] ~~and has expressed concern for the Empire’s fragile future~~.		Balrion is regarded by many as a protector of the frontier, but others see him as a watcher, a man who keeps track of movements and changes no one else notices until it is too late. He has aided the [[Defenders of Mundus]] on several occasions and has shown repeated concern for the state of the Empire, particularly the worsening condition of [[Prince Ethian]].

	~~Recently~~, he has ~~built~~ a ~~new house near Gandry~~. His ~~house~~ is ~~called~~ The ~~Perch~~.		He is often accompanied by a raven, though he has never explained why. On more than one occasion, he has been seen speaking to the bird when no one else is nearby.

			Balrion is a highly capable survivalist and hunter. His preferred weapons are an axe and a bow, and he is known for moving through the wilderness with unusual ease and certainty. Though he clearly possesses knowledge few others share, he rarely explains more than he believes is necessary, offering only enough to guide others when he thinks it will help.

			He has also known [[Lukas Battlan]] for a long time, and the two are considered friends. Even so, Balrion remains deeply guarded around him, a habit that has long been a source of irritation for Lukas.

			At some point in the past, Balrion was trapped in the [[Nether]]. During that time, he encountered [[Caelan Valeheart]]. The exact circumstances remain unclear, but both later escaped. Balrion has not spoken publicly about what happened there, and what he learned during that time may explain some of the knowledge he now keeps to himself.

			He continues to refer to himself as a '''Raven of the Forest''', the traditional title for those hailing from Raven’s Nest.

	~~<blockquote>~~		* Solitary ranger from [[Raven's Nest]]

			* One of the few known people with a direct connection to both [[Caelan Valeheart]] and the [[Nether]]

	* Keeps to the ~~wilds~~, but ~~always seems to know what’s happening in~~ the ~~world~~		== A Mundus Reborn ==
	~~</blockquote>~~		During the events of ''A Mundus Reborn'', Balrion emerged as an elusive but dependable ally during several moments of instability across Directionland. Though he remained distant from formal politics and public life, he made it increasingly clear that he was following the wider crisis closely.

	== ~~Rumors~~ ==		His home in the wilderness became one of the places associated with his quiet watch over the lands between Raven’s Nest, Gandry, and the greater heart of the Empire. Even then, there were signs that Balrion was carrying secrets of his own, particularly regarding the Dark and the shifting state of Mundus.
	~~They say Balrion has access~~ to ~~ancient intelligence records~~, and ~~may know more about the current crisis than even~~ the ~~Senate~~. ~~Some believe his arrows are blessed by~~ [[~~Saint Nerva~~]] ~~herself~~. ~~Others simply believe~~ he ~~listens—to~~ the ~~trees~~, the ~~birds~~, ~~and~~ the ~~wind—and the world answers~~ him ~~in return~~.
			== Loopbreaker ==
			During ''Loopbreaker'', Balrion’s role in the unfolding crisis became more pronounced. He was seen in [[Kingsvalley]] prior to the [[Netherkind]] assault on the city, speaking with [[Groggle]] and urging caution as conditions worsened. He also continued to follow developments surrounding Prince Ethian, Dark Energy surges, and the wider collapse threatening Mundus.

			It also became clear during this period that Balrion’s connection to [[Caelan Valeheart]] ran deeper than previously understood. Rather than merely knowing of him, Balrion had encountered Caelan during his own time trapped in the Nether. Though he has refused to fully explain what occurred there, the experience appears to have shaped both his guarded nature and the rare, unsettling knowledge he now carries.

			Throughout the crisis, Balrion has remained consistent in one regard: he offers aid when it matters most, but never the full truth. To his allies, this makes him invaluable. To his friends, it can also make him infuriating.

	~~== A Mundus Reborn ==~~
	Balrion formed a friendship with Lateindahaus after a battle in Raven's Nest. He built his home in the areas between Raven's Nest and Gandry, overlooking Late's lands. At one point, after [[Khaffe Hushstep]] triggered an event with [[Rathsern]], Balrion was taunted by the Dark One as hiding "secrets," though it is unknown what their connection is at this time.

	~~== Loopbreaker ==~~		[[Category:Characters]]
	~~Balrion was recently seen in~~ [[~~Kingsvalley~~]] prior to the [[Netherkind]] attack on the city, speaking with [[Groggle]] about [[Duke Cedric]], urging them to seek safety. He also seems to know [[Caelan Valeheart]], a mysterious wanderer who escaped the [[~~Nether~~]] ~~recently.~~		[[Category:Directionland]]
