Known

Eklyo's parents had abandoned him in the woods without a word when he was around five years old. One morning his mother told him they were going to the woods to forage for their village, once in the wooded area he noticed they were somewhere he did not recognize. His mother simply told him she was pointed to a new path with untapped resources. After wondering and searching Eklyo returned to the pre-established meeting spot only to find himself alone. He waited and waited for his mother to return that night. Several days went past with no sign of her. From this point on he learned to fend for himself until she returned. Deep down he knew she either died or left him for dead. 

Since then he started to worship the goddess Selune as he believed she had always looked out for him as a lone wanderer.

Reality

Eklyo's village was going to be attacked. Eklyo's father had been the communications officer for the tribe and had been informed that a local group of High Elves were going to capture and Imprison the children of Eklyo's tribe. The High Elves, knowing Eklyo's father and his family well, knew they were hidding the boy and demanded him to be taken with them. The High Elves knowing that his parents were skillful and assumed the same about their spawn. Unable to find them Eklyo's parents were killed during the taking. (Or taken and enslaved themselves, thinking about which I like more lolz)
