Oromë Aldaron (Jedi Renaissance)

Oromë Aldaron, later simply known as Oromë, was a male Ainu and a Vala of Tython. A survivor of the, Aldaron and the other Valar led the Maiar down from their sanctuary on Ashla to the marred surface of Tython to begin restoring the world starting with the continent of Arda. More youthful then some of the other Je'daii Masters, Aldaron was a skilled Ranger and a noted tracker. He married the Valië Vána Rolinar during the first Spring of Arda.

Life as a Je'daii
A Force-sensitive Human, Oromë Aldaron was born on the planet Shikaakwa in 25,800 BrS to non-Forceful parents who turned him over to the on Tython, along with his sister, Nessa Uvaren. Following hiser study at Padawan Kesh, Aldaron began his Great Journey which would take him to each of the Order's eight Great Temples beyond Padawan Kesh to learn the skills necessary to becoming a great Je'daii. As a Journeyer, Aldaron learned the ways of the Force, martial skills and became well read, but his true skills were brought to the fore between the temples, where he survived off the land for months as he familiarized himself with the lush jungles, arid deserts and forbidding mountain passes of the world. Tracking beasts and learning the ways of the land, Aldaron was an expert of identifying edible vegetation as well as tracking food.

Following the completion of his Journey, Aldaron was made a Ranger and assigned to Shikaakwa and tasked with cleaning up the gangs in the southern quadrant. Hunting down his prey like beasts before slaughtering them, Aldaron danced close to the dark side but always skirted the Balance. Present on the world when the forces of Queen Hadiya launched an assault on Tython, it was Aldaron's work that helped gut some of the most influential crime barons on the world and empty Hadiya's coffers when the war seemed to be going poorly for the Je'daii. After years of service, Aldaron was made a Master before the outbreak of the Infinite Empire's invasion of the system. Recalled to Tython after Ska Gora fell to the Rakata and their hordes, Aldaron and several other Masters were selected to take a small group of Je'daii Rangers, Journeyers and Padawans to Tython's moon of Ashla to ensure the survival of the Order should Tython fall. Delving into the moon's crust to take refuge in a bunker hidden there, Aldaron and his compatriots remained hidden for three years before emerging to the surface.

Along with his sister, Nessa Uvaren, Aldaron and the other survivors emerged to find the planet of Tython in ruin. Looking down on the planet from Ashla, the planet's atmosphere was filled with ash and death, the sun's light unable to reach the surface. Realizing that both the Je'daii Order and the Infinite Empire were gone, the Je'daii were determined to survive. Calling a Council of the Masters, the senior Je'daii agreed to continue the training of the youngest Je'daii and hopefully bring about the restoration of the Order. Hope seemed small for some time until the group received a Force vision, revealing the restoration of Tython and the birth of new races and people upon the world. Enamored with the beauty of the vision, it was fleeting and the details of the resurrection of the world were vague and shrouded in shadow. Determined to see the vision to fruition, the Je'daii decided to send a group to the surface to seek out stable land. With only a few surviving transports at their disposal, the Je'daii knew that there would not be fuel for a return journey, and all that descended to the surface would remain there for ill or for better.

Descending to the planet's surface, Aldaron and his fellow Je'daii discovered the symmetric continent of Arda to be the most suitable for rehabitation. Setting down upon the featureless surface, the Je'daii found the air to be breathable but the sun would not shine through the dust clouds which filled the upper atmosphere. The groups' thirteen Je'daii Masters, consisting of Aldaron and his sister, set immediately to setting the world right, raising forests and mountains and streams across Arda using their considerable strengths in the Force. Aldaron wove the streams with the forest and resurrected birds of prey and fierce beasts that hunt. When Master Melkor Belegûr descended from Bogan, he reacted in jealousy at the marvels the other Je'daii had crafted and struck out with the power of the dark side of the Force. Retreating from Melkor's darkness, the Je'daii were reinforced by Master Tulkas Astaldo from Ashla who drove back Melkor to the continent of Westeros.

Becoming the Ainur
Determined to see the vision of peace carried out the Masters, calling themselves the Valar, kindled within themselves and the Maiar the Flame Imperishable. As the Flame kindled within his heart, Aldaron's physical form was burned away and his spirit retained its individuality within the Force. Along with the others Aldaron became an Ainu, or a Force entity, an eternal and powerful servant of the Force. Simply known as Oromë from that time onward, he often took the form of a fair humanoid with pointed ears, taller then any known Human and capable of astounding Force feats. It was after this transformation that Oromë fell in love with Master Vána Rolinar and the two were shortly wed.

During the Years of the Trees, after most of the Valar had withdrawn completely from Middle-earth and hidden themselves in Aman, Oromë still hunted in the forests of Srednata Zemya on occasion and was responsible for finding the Eldar when they awoke at Cuivienen. Being a powerful huntsman, he was active in the struggles against Morgoth. He had a great horn known as the Valaróma and a great steed called Nahar. Because Oromë had traveled much in Srednata Zemya during the Elder Days the wild oxen found near the Sea of Rhun long millennia after his initial passage were descended from his Kine. War-weary and stern, Oromë's anger was legendary and was only rivaled by his fierceness in the hunt. His apprentices Pallando Rómestámo and Alatar Morinehtar set forth toward Srednata Zemya robed in blue and under the guise of Humans to discern the fate of the Maia known as Sauron.
