31 BBY- The Jedi are flourishing, the Republic Classic era is in full swing. The Elves have just released a new Capital Ship class, the Elenrist. However, the prototypes have gone missing. Puzzled, King Turwaithion sends a newly trained group of Rangers to investigate, but they lose contact with them a week later. A search party is sent, and they are last heard from in the midst of a battle. Pirates are suspected, so Turwaithion sends a battle fleet to put an end to the conflict. When the fleet arrives, nothing is found, so they are recalled. However, a week later, the bodies of the search party are found on Mandalore, along with the ships. Found to be killed with Mandalorian weapons, Turwaithion calls an emergency council to avoid going to war against his son-in-law. Amongst those present are the leading members of the Royal Guard, Mandalorians, and several Auregul masters, along with the High Elven Command and the Royal Family.

Homeland: Doriath
History: Turwaithion was born to Lord Findecano and Lady Narwen of the Noldor during the crossing of the Helcaraxe. After his father, a Lore master of Feanor, was killed in the Dagor-nuin-Giliath, Turwaithion, his mother, and his father’s companions fled to Doriath, where they were sheltered by King Thingol. When Turwaithion came of age, he joined the Doriath Marchwardens, where he served for several centuries. Shortly before the Dagor Bragollach, Turwaithion captained a group of soldiers from Doriath and across the Misty Mountains to form a small squad of soldiers, commandos of their day. However, they arrived too late to receive orders. When Turwaithion and his troops arrived, they had only the burning of Ard-Galen to look upon. By the time they made it to the fray from the Hithlum border, Fingolfin was dead, and the Siege of Angband was broken. Now without a purpose, Turwaithion dispersed the group after the coronation of King Fingon, and returned to Doriath.
Upon his return from 10 years on the front, Turwaithion met an Elf woman named Silwen. During his leave, the two fell in love, and were betrothed shortly before Turwaithion returned to active duty. His travels, upon hearing of the Union of Maedhros, took him once again to Hithlum. There, he joined Fingon’s Army, and fought during the Nírnaeth Arnoediad Barely escaping the massacre, he linked up with Beleg Cuthalion and Mablung, with whom her served again on the borders of Doriath.
When he returned to Menegroth, it was to defend it. When the Dwarves of Nogrod assaulted the halls, Turwaithion was amongst the Wardens tasked with evacuating the civilians. After he had saved as many as he could, he helped drive out the Dwarves from the outer halls with another conginent of Wardens. After several weeks, he found Silwen’s group, and the two were married. When Dior, son of Luthien, came to Doriath and restored it, Turwaithion and his son Megildurion, barely an adult, both served him as guards of Menegroth. The pair fought valiantly against the Sons of Feanor when they sacked Doriath, but were driven back by the Kinslayers. Fleeing the field with Silwen, Megildurion and his daughter Narwen, Turwaithion dwelt in the Mouths of the Sirion, until the Sons of Feanor struck there, as well. After being driven from their homes, Turwaithion and his family sailed to the Isle of Balar, dwelling there until the Host of the Valar destroyed Morgoth’s army in the War of Wrath, where he was stuck by Earendil’s ship, Vingilote.
After Turwaithion and Megildurion returned from that battle, they followed Galadriel and her folk to Lindon, and later to Lothlorien. Fighting in the War of the Elves and Sauron, Turwaithion and Megildurion returned battered by the war to fight alongside their comrades from Lothlorien and the Men of Numenor in the War of the Last Alliance.
After the War, Turwaithion and Silwen left Narwen in Lothlorien, and left with Megildurion and his family to Imladris, where they dwelt under the rule of Elrond Peredhel. Turwaithion adjusted to a life without war gradually, and eventually rejoiced in peace. But, when Sauron rose again, Turwaithion and Megildurion rode to Lothlorien to defend it, and later fought in the Siege of Dol-Guldur. After the War of the Ring, Narwen, Turwaithion and Silwen, and Megildurion and his wife Arasinya dwelt in Ithilien with the Elves of Eryn Lasgalen. After the death of King Elessar, Turwaithion dwelt in Osgiliath, helping with the city’s reconstruction. After the death of King Eldarion, a Maia sailed into Ithilien, and helped Turwaithion build such a ship, not a seafaring vessel at all, based off one that had fallen into the Sea centuries ago. By 230 F.A., Turwaithion gathered his kin and made the first inter-stellar journey, eventually crashing on Corellia.
Shocked with what he found, Turwaithion spent the next years learning Basic, and, with a Corellian vessel, travelled to Coruscaunt. There, in front of the Galactic Senate, he declared his people and his name to the Galaxy at large. After Megildurion asked to return to Ambar and bring news of their discovery, Turwaithion granted his son permission, and within weeks, 500 Eldar returned with Megildurion. The next centuries were spent creating treaties and acquiring more worlds to settle. Turwaithion was declared King of the Eldar in the Dor-Morgil, as the Galaxy was to be called. After treating with the Wookiees and Mandalorians, Turwaithion found that several of his people were fit to be Jedi, whom the Order accepted.
By the time the Great Sith War erupted, the Elves were a powerful force in the Galaxy. Fighting against their Mandalorian allies with the Republic. Turwaithion himself discovered a group of Elven Jedi who had fallen, and he led a bloody campaign against them. By the end of the war, the Jedi and Republic were devastated, and Turwaithion destroyed the Mandalorian treaty personally.
When the Mandalorians attacked 20 years later, Turwaithion led his army to battle, and insulted the Jedi for their dithering while innocents died. While the Eldarin Jedi and the Revanchists fought along side the Republic, Turwaithion led the defence of the Outer Rim, holding off a flanking fleet throughout the war. With Megildurion as General of the Eldarin Army and his son Beriothien as Admiral of the Eldarin Fleet, Turwaithion as Commander-in-Chief, the Mandalorians were routed. After Malachor V, in which 25 000 Eldarin fighters perished, the Elves withdrew their treaties, and faced war alone.
When the Jedi Civil War erupted, Turwaithion led the Dagnir Morgul, a force of the Eldarin Army tasked with destroying fallen Elven Jedi. After losing his left hand to a fallen Master, Turwaithion ordered Beriothien to lay waste to the Morgul training world, an order that was promptly obeyed. When Revan was redeemed by the Jedi Council, Turwaithion protested, saying that he should have been killed outright by the Jedi, that the risk of his second fall was too great. When he was ignored, the Elf withdrew his support of the Order, which he now knew to be feeble and over-political. All 300 Eldarin Jedi left the Order after the Civil War, and established the Auregul, their own Order, on Kashyyyk, with the Wookiee’s permission. After the end of the War, Turwaithion treated with the Wookiees and left inter-galactic politics to his granddaughter Alassiel, Beriothien’s sister.
For several millennia, Turwaithion governed his people with Silwen by his side, perfectly happy to dwell in peace. After Canderous Ordo set out looking for trading partners, Turwaithion negotiated a careful treaty and alliance with the Mandalore. As the years progressed, the Elves flocked to Turwaithion’s banner. In 33 BBY, 3 million Elves inhabited the Eldarin worlds, and several Half-Elven houses had sprung up. It was in that year that Turwaithion’s daughter Narwen wed a man by the name of Adenn Mereel Tracyn, a Mandalorian veteran with Corellian ties. With such an alliance made, Turwaithion was obliged to fight with Mandalore Jaster Mereel during the Mandalorian Civil War. After Galidraan, Turwaithion turned his forces on the slave trade. Despite a bloody crusade, the Elves had little effect on the outrage. Now, with unsteady relations with the Mandalorians, a fleet of missing battleships, and a search party found dead in Mandalorian Space, Turwaithion calls a Council to resolve the situation once and for all.
