Arelder was born in a rural Taladoran community, the second of four brothers, to Aleric and Brynhild. His father was a warrior before retiring to settle down on a small farm and raise a family. Although Arelder knows little of his father’s warrior past, he grew up admiting his father's innate dignity and gentle authority. Alongside the traditional values of hard work, diligence, frugality, Arelder’s parents also instilled him with a deep faith in the Arkati, with particular emphasis on Koar and Phoen. Though Arelder has occasionally questioned his faith, never did he stray from the lessons.
