He became a Priest of Elemiah, studying the gods, the precursors, and various other parts of life, Valyn began to question the God of Order. He left the Temple eventually and began meditating atop an isolated hill. It was then that Phobianezar spoke to him.

Under Phobianezar's guidance Valyn emassed a massive cult of followers. It is said that he essentially overthrew ten villages and even a whole town. The said town was besieged and hundreds were killed by the Elven Emperor. It was ordered that all of Valyn's followers would leave the continent or die.
