History
Peyton was born on the twenty-fifth day of the Wolf Moon during the four-hundred and sixty-fifth year after the Secession of Man. He is oldest son of the once Lord Protector of the Kingdom of Valley Pines, Morvan Osmont and Brivela Rainwood. He had two siblings; a younger brother named Falk and a younger sister named Dimia.

At fifteen, Peyton's father Lord Morvan Osmont made Colvic his personal knight. They became very close friends.

In 487 SM Peyton and Falk Osmont visited Maryere, the Mountain Realm for an entire year.

In 496 SM, when Morvan was on his deathbed, it was announced that Colvic must protect Falk instead of Peyton by Lord Morvan's orders. Peyton attempted to speak with his father, but Morvan was in a vegetative state. Believing that Falk was plotting something, Peyton split the kingdom in two. He traveled south from Kingment and created a city named King's Berth.
