Who is Prince Wayfinder?

History Wayfinder of House Ithacon Wayfinder was born to the King and Queen of Ithacon on an rather particular day when an eagle killed a raven overhead as the newborn Wayfinder took his first breaths. A priest, curious about the omen, looked it up in the Star-Annals of Ithacon and discovered much to the sorrow of Wayfinder's father and mother that he was sixteenth in the royal line of the House of Ithacon, as an ancient prophecy stated that the line of succession ended with the fifteenth in line, referring to the King of Ithacon himself. It was for this reason that the name Wayfinder was given to the newborn prince, a fact that would be kept hidden for much of his life. When Wayfinder was about fifteen years old, just one year shy of being eligible for his Age of Confirmation ceremony, The Haamin descended upon his homeworld and began laying waste to their entire civilization. On the final day of the Haamin invasion, as they were making their last pass over the planet, Wayfinder's father and the court wizard Delphos told the young prince the truth that had been kept hidden from him since birth. The truth being that he would never be king nor would he die with his father on the bat.
