Kelviernan is travelling with Silas’s caravan to Belhaim to apprentice with Balthus Huncaly.

Kelviernan is a scion of a lesser noble house in Taldor, the byblow of a dalliance with a visiting diplomat from Kyonin. They were good enough to see to the education of the bastard, and have found him a place with an old friend of the family. He is actually quite pleased to leave Taldor; as a ½ elf, an extended adolescence has left him adrift from the humans around him. He has lived long enough to bury his mother (who admittedly did die young) and his half-siblings prefer not to acknowledge him.

He is one of Calistria’s faithful; the religion came quite naturally to him. So much so that he has attracted a wasp familiar as a gift from Calistria.

Arcane Bond (Ex or Sp): At 1st level, wizards form a powerful bond with an object (ring)

Wizards who select a bonded object begin play with one at no cost. Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon. These objects are always masterwork quality. Weapons acquired at 1st level are not made of any special material. If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be wielded. If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spell's level. If the object is a ring or amulet, it occupies the ring or neck slot accordingly.

A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. This spell is treated like any other spell cast by the wizard, including casting time, duration, and other effects dependent on the wizard's level. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities. The bonded object cannot be used to cast spells from the wizard's opposition schools (see arcane school).

A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat. For example, a wizard with a bonded dagger must be at least 5th level to add magic abilities to the dagger (see the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat in Feats). If the bonded object is a wand, it loses its wand abilities when its last charge is consumed, but it is not destroyed and it retains all of its bonded object properties and can be used to craft a new wand. The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object's owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type.

If a bonded object is damaged, it is restored to full hit points the next time the wizard prepares his spells. If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item. This ritual takes 8 hours to complete. Items replaced in this way do not possess any of the additional enchantments of the previous bonded item. A wizard can designate an existing magic item as his bonded item. This functions in the same way as replacing a lost or destroyed item except that the new magic item retains its abilities while gaining the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a bonded item.

Arcane School (Aether, Opposition School: Water): A wizard can choose to specialize in one school of magic, gaining additional spells and powers based on that school. This choice must be made at 1st level, and once made, it cannot be changed. A wizard that does not select a school receives the universalist school instead.

A wizard that chooses to specialize in one school of magic must select two other schools as his opposition schools, representing knowledge sacrificed in one area of arcane lore to gain mastery in another. Unlike a normal arcane school, each elemental school requires the wizard to select his opposed element as his opposition school (air opposes earth, fire opposes water). He does not need to select a second opposition school. He must expend two spell slots to prepare a spell from his opposed elemental school as normal.

Cantrips: Wizards can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Wizard under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. A wizard can prepare a cantrip from a prohibited school, but it uses up two of his available slots (see below).

Scribe Scroll: At 1st level, a wizard gains Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat.

Aether Magic: Add the following spells to your wizard spell list at the listed spell level: 0—telekinetic projectile, 2nd—spiritual weapon, 4th—spiritual ally, 5th—ethereal envelope, 6th—animate objects, 7th—ectoplasmic eruption, 9th—telekinetic storm.

Aether Supremacy (Su): You gain a +2 enhancement bonus on Sleight of Hand checks. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 wizard levels you have. In addition, you can cast mage hand at will as a spell-like ability that uses your caster level. At 5th level, you can attempt Sleight of Hand checks against a target within 30 feet, though the skill check DC increases by 5, and any creature within line of sight of either you or the target can attempt an opposed Perception check to notice the attempt. At 10th level, you can attempt a Sleight of Hand check as a move action with only a –10 penalty. At 20th level, whenever you attempt a Sleight of Hand check, assume the roll resulted in a natural 20.

Telekinetic Protection (Su): As a swift action, you can grant yourself protection against nonmagical attacks by forming a field to telekinetically deflect them. You gain DR 5/magic for 1 round. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Lizbit Freewind is a slip of a young woman. A Shoreborn half-elf, she presents few of her father's elven traits, instead taking after her Taldan mother in most aspects. Unkempt blond hair, sun-bleached to a pale gold, hangs to her shoulder blades, framing a triangular face. Her almond-shaped eyes are pale blue, her nose small and upturned. A perpetual smirk, hinting at mischief recently or about to be committed, constantly graces her face. Androgynous with a petite, boyish build, she can easily pass as a young boy or girl - a fact she takes advantage of to weasel her way out of trouble. Her fingers and toes are partially webbed like her father's.

Lizbit's 'adventuring outfit' includes sturdy calf-high leather boots, black linen trousers, brown linen gloves (custom made to accommodate her webbed fingers) a black and pale blue long-sleeved linen top, and a blue hood that doubles as a face mask. Any buttons and buckles are painted with a rubbery black coating to prevent them from clinking or reflecting light when she has to be sneaky. Her primary weapon is the elven curve blade which, including the hilt, is almost as long as she is tall.

======Personality======
Some might describe Lizbit as confidant while others would call her arrogant. The wealth of her mother and the influence of her foster parents shielded her from any real consequences for the petty crimes she committed as a young child, giving her a sense of untouchability. She is a reckless thrill seeker, diving headfirst down whatever path interests her without planning for a way out should she get in over her head. A troublemaking tomboy, she is fond of pranks, heists, or simply inconveniencing others. She is something of a hedonist, but she does not shy away from challenging or difficult tasks, so long as they lead to an end she desires. Selfish but not cruel, she wants to help others and to be recognized for it, but she struggles to resist the temptation of the fun to be had by misbehaving. Slow to forgive slights against her (real or perceived), she always has to get the last word in one way or another.

======History======

Elizabetth O’Shannon was born at sea on the merchant ship Freewind to a Taldan mother and an unknown aquatic elf father. Her mother, Sophia O’Shannon, not only captained the Freewind but owned the vessel. The clipper could haul any cargo it could fit in its hold, but the Freewind specialized in transporting large or fragile works of art; ancient statues and obelisks; sarcophagi and burial artifacts; fragile tapestries and paintings that had to be transported in special, airtight containers to protect them from the harsh sea air. If they had no art to move, the swift clipper hauled fresh produce and herbs to make ends meet. Elizabetth's mother, not wanting an infant on the ship, ordered the ship to Absalom, where she purchased a cottage overlooking the docks and her first mate took the Freewind back to the trade routes. A wealthy woman, Sophia told herself that her daughter would not go through childhood a near-feral ragamuffin like she had. Sophia would stay on dry land and raise her daughter to be a respectable lady herself.

Perhaps it was the view of all the ships coming and going, perhaps it was just her nature, but Sophia only lasted six months. As soon as Elizabetth was weaned, Sophia turned the girl over to old business associates and returned to the sea. For six years Elizabetth was raised in Absalom by Brassouck and Gossilynn Goldeye. The old dwarven couple and their warehouses and cranes had long been a staple of the Absalom docks. Recently retired, they were looking for something meaningful to fill their time - dwarves could be retired for hundreds of years - and they happily took Elizabetth in, assuring her mother that they would mold her into a proper lady befitting the daughter of someone as wealthy as Sophia. They were met with little success.

Despite being free of her mother's rebellious influence and being raised by patient, levelheaded dwarves, Elizabetth was a terror. She had no interest in learning to be a "proper lady”. Instead of learning proper posture and speech, she ran barefoot through the alleys; instead of learning genealogy and coats-of-arms, she pickpocketed merchants; instead of learning to dance, she fought with boys. Elizabetth fell in with a group of poorer youths, some of whom needed to steal to survive, but she did it for fun, even learning to pick locks from one of the older boys. The only activity suitable to a child of wealth she enjoyed was fencing lessons. The Brassouck’s hired an elven swordsmaster to teach her to use the elven curve blade – the weapon of her father’s people – though they were careful to lock her sword away after lessons so she would not take to carrying it around everywhere she went.

Elizabetth’s mother stopped by to see her when she had business in Absalom. When the girl was seven, and with it clear that Elizabetth was not going to submit to her mother’s wish to see her grow into a lady, Sophia relented to her daughters nagging and allowed Elizabetth to board the Freewind. They were hauling spices from Sothis, Osirion to Magnimar, Varisia. An easy and safe trip. Not surprisingly, the Shoreborn Elizabetth took to ship life quickly. Her version of ship life, at least. Elizabetth did not want to learn of sailing or mercantilism, instead doing a lot of running around and climbing the rigging. The moment they docked in Magnimar, the girl absconded. After two days of searching, the crew of the Freewind found Elizabetth at a Calistrian temple, wearing a makeshift dress of black and yellow silk fashioned by the clerics of Calistria. When told it was time to leave, Elizabetth responded that she could not leave because she lived there now. Sophia was just happy to see her daughter in a dress for once. This became the norm for the curious young girl. Each time the Freewind docked, she set out to explore the strange new locales. Often, she would be escorted back to the Freewind by local law enforcement, pockets stuffed with nicked trinkets and petty change.

Sophia hired a tutor-cum-blademaster, Riluaneth Raloralei, to travel onboard the Freewind to continue Elizabetth’s education. She was a bright enough girl but had no interest in education that was not sword related. As she entered her tweens, the short stays in port to resupply or deliver goods was not enough to sate her appetite to explore new lands. She wanted to depart the Freewind and stay, to be picked up a few months later when the ship made its return journey. Sophia agreed on the grounds that master Raloralei traveled with her. Elizabetth argued that she should be allowed to travel alone because her mother had been alone at her age, but Sophia hardly saw that as valid. It was true she had been alone, and she had eventually succeeded alone, but it had not been the romantic adventure Elizabetth thought it was. Elizabetth agreed to “allow” Raloralei to travel with her after many tears and tantrums, and they departed the Freewind in Goka on the western edge of Tian Xia. Their plan was to travel east across the continent and meet up with the Freewind in Zetang four months later. It was an uneventful journey, which pleased Raloralei and Sophia, but Elizabetth enjoyed it despite the lack of the dragons she fancied roamed freely over Tian Xia.

Elizabetth spent her teenage years bouncing back and forth between different cities and the Freewind. Sophia gave up any hope that her daughter would join high society or even follow in her own footsteps. This did not upset Sophia; in the end, what she really wanted was for her daughter to have the freedom and ability to live her life as she saw fit, happy and safe. As she entered adulthood, Sophia could no longer reign in her daughter – Elizabetth was a woman and could do as she pleased, for better or worse. Raloralei had taught her everything he could about the blade and what little she was willing to learn of history, mathematics, politics and so forth and it was time for them to part ways. Sophia O’Shannon was legendary in her own right amongst ship captains and Elizabetth wanted to strike out on her own and make her own mark on the world and a name for herself. Raloralei had a contact in Belhaim, a man called Silas Gribb, who might have just the adventurous job for Elizabetth to cut her teeth on. And so, at the familiar docks of Cassomir, “Lizbit Freewind” kisses her mother goodbye and departs the Freewind, perhaps for the last time.

Eager to get their son out of the house, but still trying to respect who he was, Talaziel was sent to Erages Academy. His first year there did not go smoothly. He was nearly expelled for sneaking into an archeological dig with his friends. It was only the intercession of a prominent professor of abjuration magic that kept him in school. 

In order to complete his studies and earn his place in academia, Talaziel needs to complete his thesis, and in order to do that, he wants to track down a specific text which was stolen from Kyonin decades before. For the last year he has tracked the tome from the thieves who first stole it to the fence the sold it, then to the courier who carried it, to a reclusive wizard in a small human town called Belhaim who is said to possess it.
