Arlo Paran
(1717-1784)

Born as the only son of professor Beyhard Paran, Arlo grew up in an academic climate. He accompanied his father to many archeological surveys. In the summer of 1732, Arlo was taken to the site of De Wegwijzer and was a witness of the Portals discussion between his father and professor Zuchstaba. Since then, Arlo was determined to unveil the secret of the Portal. The professor disapproved of Arlo's ideas on the Portals, and Arlo was banned from the University of Ildritz.
Arlo Paran studied history, archeology and languages at the University of Ciniz from 1735-1743. He stayed in Ciniz, as long as he wasn't out in the ruins of ancient places. In Ciniz, he also became involved with the Keepers of Doravor. It is unknown what he did in the Keep of the order, and he never wrote about it, although he published many books on the subject of the Portal and other scientific topics. Most of his books, however, were censored by his father, who bought the books and then distroyed them.
In the last years of his life, Arlo Paran lived as a Keeper of Doravor and hardly ever left Ciniz. He died there, and was buried there.
For years, his books were regarded to as doubtful, his ideas never were accepted even if he had lots of proof for his truth. His most famous book, that didn't get burnt, is "The Portals to the worlds: The way in. The way out?". It was published in Ciniz, with the aid of the Count of Ciniz.
