Elenaril Altair's page

The daughter of an exceptionally talented herbalist and wise woman in an outlying village in southern Brevoy, Elenaril spent her life raised as her mother’s “gift from the wilds”, the result of a fleeting dalliance with a passing elven ranger. Half-elves being a not-uncommon occurrence in the region, she grew up without the usual stigma that those of her heritage often encountered, allowed to roam the woods rather freely as she grew, assisting her mother in finding rare herbs and plants to use in her cures and herbal concoctions.

Upon coming of age, her mother initiated her into both the Green Faith, and the druidic circle to which she belonged, a devoted circle that maintained the knowledge of the land, the power and potential within the wilds, learning the names, power and languages of the beasts, plants and all other forms of natural life.

The wanderlust of the father she has never met runs in her blood, and she has recently found herself yearning to explore beyond the boundaries of the lands she knows, and to spread the knowledge and influence of The Green. Word of an exploration into the Stolen Lands has definitely caught her interest, and she has decided to volunteer her knowledge and familiarity with the wilderness to those seeking to join said expedition. Her childhood best friend Kaleida, more of a sister really, the daughter of one of the village’s hunters who was unfortunately gored by a wild boar when she was 8 and came to live with Elenaril and her mother, chose to come with her, seeking to hone her skills in the wilds.

A life of spending days in seclusion in the wilds has left Elenaril somewhat of an introvert, in some ways almost preferring the plants and animals of nature to most people. Quietly thoughtful and highly perceptive, she tends to observe before speaking, determining the dynamics of a situation before acting.

She has a knack for understanding situations, developing a reputation for open-minded neutrality and a talent for resolution in her early teens. When in the wilderness, she can often come off as distracted, though this isn’t quite an accurate assessment. Her awareness of the natural world is such as to generate a state of almost hypervigilance when in the wilderness, responding to multiple forms of stimuli that others would barely notice.

Elenaril possesses a caretaker nature, usually thinking in regards to helping and protecting those around her, naturally falling into the role of guardian of any community she’s a part of.
