Damatus Aláriso

Damatus Aláriso was the leader of the 45th Valsiyo and father of Kenamas Aláriso. He was remembered as one of the finest warriors in L'har and as a political opponent of Chûyin Sarati, his long-time rival and fellow student of Adûrao the Elder.

While Râgian Vthradasio, his successor and protege, removed Chûyin from office, believing himself to have more courage than Damatus for doing so, Damatus was reluctant to, uncertain of how her little brother, Garu, would fair against the rising unrest and instability in L'har.

Damatus saw what was coming in L'har and did not want to act rashly or recklessly, ironically, unlike his successor, who prided himself in private for handling things far better than Damatus did. Historians accept that Damatus, while his caution was certainly a catalyst to the subsequent events, was at least careful and thoughtful in his approach.
