Crindaic An Etalas

Crindaic An Etalas (Crindaic The General) is one of the commanders of Galve Alari's armies. Units under his command include the 12th, 13th, 20th and 35th Royal Regiments and the 2nd Navy Brigade.

History
Not much is known about his early life. Crindaic made himself known to the world at the age of 16, when he took command of the 2nd Navy Brigade's flagship after the captain had died. His actions resulted in a decisive victory of the southern elves against the invading Al-Manurim Caliphate in 873 A.E. (After Exodus). Scholars estimated that Al-Manurim has lost 300 ships and 2 million men, while Galve Alari had lost only 40 ships and 2000 men in the fight.

His career may have started at 16 but his moment of glory was 24 years later, when a combined army of Aephyr and Ullot invaded Durnathell in 897 A.E., he defeated them at the battle of Salkier, after the other generals where defeated and half of the country was conquered. Trapping them into the narrow hills and dense forests near the capital of Nikkadur, he massacred a force of 2000 Aephyr and 3500 Ullot, driving the rest of the force towards Salkier, near Lusenia, where Stathmoore's king Henry The Bald was waiting with 5000 men positioned to the north and Lusenia's Emperor Jacques V to the south. Under Crindaic's careful planning the Ullot and the Aephyr were decimated and whatever troops made it back home spread the myth of the Elven God of War.
