Valen

Valen is the spiritual leader of the Noble Draenei and a devout believer in Christianity after his close friendship with Jesus of Syria.

Early History
The Draenei were created by Malekor in the goal of maintaining his role as the keeper of the Moon, and in this way the Draenei were based around the massive fortress ship of the Exodar of which circled the massive satelite of the Earth. The Exodar was designed with massive defensive capabilites which the Old Ones had hoped would allow the Man'Ari to defend the planet from any attacker, but its main purpose was as a center of science from which the Old Ones could continue to keep tabs on the goings on of Earth. In this way the Man'Ari were the safegaurds of the assistence of the Old Ones, and for this reason they were vastly important to the plans on Earth. On the moon though the Eredar were much larger and powerful. The moon had been seeded with atmosophere and had come to be known as Titan after the commanders left behind by the Old Ones. The Eredar formed the backbone of what the Old Ones meant to be the protective force for the planet, and they had a simple means of reaching the planet through the Dark Portal, of which allowed access to the Earth through a portal located in Ind. For centuries the two sides lived in peace, and the Draenei came to form the Founding Races of the Earth and built themselves a kingdom on Titan of which was truly magnificant to behold. In this beauty they were led directly by Malekor of whom adopted three leaders to adhere to his laws and make sure that the Draenei were following his wishes. Malekor didn't enjoy the mechanics and metel of the Exodar and for this reason spent much more time with the Eredar meaning his influence over them was much greater then over the Man'Ari.



Splitting of the Draenei
Everything went according to plan for the Draenei, and when the Eternity war was beggining they were still completely uncorupted even though there God was corupted at this point. When Malekor fell to Chaos the Draenei would be approached by him, and the Eredar would quickly fall into line behind him, but before Malekor could approach Valen the leader of the Draenei he was visited by a vision which saw the world burn if he followed Malekor. When Malekor approached Valen he resisted and was nearly destroyed by the Chaos God but was able to escape his wrath and made his way to see his two brothers who he did not know had already fallen to Malekor. Seeing the truth behind Malekor Valen attempted to sway his two brothers into resisting Malekor but he couldn't persuade them and in fact they attempted to capture him, but were unable to stop him from reaching the Exodar. Fearing destruction the Man'Ari would be saved by the intervention of Naaru of whom was a Titan.



The coming of Naaru
Main Article : Naaru

Malekor's fall had been first noticed by his only sibling in the form of Naaru of whom was a Titan created by the Old Ones in a different manner then everyone elce. While most harbored some kind of humanoid appearance or atleast along those lines the Titan Naaru and his race the Sha'Tar are made of a glass like substance and are completely different then everything elce. The Sha'Tar and their Titan are dramatically small in population but their powers with Magi are comparible to the Slann in terms of power, and they were used to construct the Exodar and the three other structures just like it (of which one would come to be the Tempest Keep by the fallen Sha'Tar K'ure). Naaru would visit Valen alone at first hoping to convinse the leader of the Man'Ari that his people needed to leave the moon with the Exodar before the Eredar took control of it. Valen by this point had not quite given up hope that his brothers would find reason amongst the madness they were invested in at the moment, and thus he refused at first, but silently prepared the ship to leave the orbit of the moon. Valen set up a meeting with Archimonde, and Kil'Jaeden where he hoped to try one last time to get them to turn away from the rigors of Malekor. Unknown to Valen was the fact that Malekor forsaw this and moved in on the two Eredar to make sure they were as loyal to him as they possibly could.

The Exodar Flees
Naaru would lead the Draenei on the Exodar to the Earth where they would crash land on the island chain of Azuremyst Isles. On this island chain they would build an empire around the ruins of their ancient ship, and during this time they became heavily influenced by the world around them.

Christianity
Having never seen the world outside the moon, and the Exodar they were influenced heavily by the trip of a group that is now known as the Hands of Argus. The Hands of Argus would travel to Nerekhara on the command of Naaru and while there would assist Jesus in his rise, and along the way become believers in christianity of which they called the Holy Light. Returning to Exodar they would spread the religion quickly to the point that even the leader in Valen soon fell into Christianity.
