Aelwyn Coronis's page

Aelwyn is estranged from his family. As a child, he was slowly introduced to magic by his grandmother, and showed an early talent, particularly with energy magic. His training stopped when his grandmother was slain in a orc raid. The orcs were soon driven off, and nobody else was injured, but he resents her loss, having never been close to his parents. When nearly adult, his grandfather got him drunk at a family wedding, and he was so embarrassed at his actions and how his family reacted to him that he left, and has not yet (7 years ago) returned. He is still very nervous about alcohol or speaking in front of groups of people. He misses his younger sister Sileal, but is unwilling to return – he feels his parents did not support him at the time of his grandfather's prank.

When he first left his own people, he packed carefully, and intended to make his way as a travelling wizard, fixing small things with his magic, teaching where possible, but certainly not adventuring. He wandered through Varisia and ended up in Korvosa. Much to his surprise, he found himself in the city watch of that city. His elven sight made night patrols easy, and his magic allowed him to find a place, though he remained nervous of the Watch's carousing while off duty, and avoided their drinking sessions. The watch were mostly followers of Abadar, god of cities, and Aelwyn explored that faith while in Korvosa. He eventually decided with some reluctance that Abadar could be rather too morally murky for him. He's no crusader of righteousness, but he'd like a deity that gives him something good to hope towards. He only left Korvosa a few months ago, and remains on good terms with the Watch there.

Since leaving Korvosa, he applied to join the army as an arcane support agent, thinking it would be a good way to improve his skills. As it was accepted that the army was practically invincible, he felt no particular danger, but recent events are making him question joining up. He's loyal to his platoon, though, and wants to look after them.
