Nidthel Landregil's page

Nidthel looks almost exactly like her sister. Delicate elvin features are highlighted by honey blonde hair and blue green eyes.She is wiry and possesses the elven beauty that is characteristic of their race. Her scars-located on her back and chest, and their clothes are the only things that mark their physical differences. In combat she attacks up close with a combination of daring swordwork and close range magic.

Nidthel is brusque with strangers and really seems to open up only around Caethel, Darius, and her father. When she's comfortable with someone, she gently teases and her words are filled with encouragement. Even though they were close before, the demon attack has forced Nidthel and Caethel even closer together. The mental and physical scars run deep and the nightmares have caused her to lose sleep, waking her from her own nightmares and those of her sister. Because of the demon attack and her family’s treatment within the refugee camp, she is very suspicious of most everyone else and holds grudges for any wrongs against her family. She has trawled through the city sprawl to gain urbanite knowledge to better help her family navigate the suburban jungle.

Older Brother-Rythian
Father-Caeledor

It was a magical day, when the Ladrengils’ were graced with a pair of twins.With elven numbers in decline and their naturally delicate constitutions, the birth of healthy twins was considered a blessing and a good omen for the family and surrounding community. They named these twins, Elanorthel and Lothuialthel.

During the first crusade, their father moved the family to Drezen. He wished to join the crusade, and felt the city was safe enough to take his family there as well. IIt was a change from the small community where they had grown up. Things seemed to be going well for them there, that was until the demon’s came again.

After the dreaded attack on Drezen, the Ladrengil’s were forced on the run, fleeing their former neighbors and beloved aunts and uncles. They spent years trying to find a place safe from demon attacks. Arrival at Kenabres provided no safety however. The large influx of refugees and increased suspicion of demonic activity had led to heavier enforcements on traffic flow in and out of the city.

They camped outside the walls with the other war torn refugees. It was not long before rumors began to circulate. Besides the two girls being elven twins, their mother had obviously suffered psychological trauma from watching her friends and neighbors turn into beast like creatures. Trauma that changed her behavior to something dangerous and unbalanced. Things worsened when the others at the camp learned that they hailed from Drezan, and whispers about them being cursed followed the girls wherever they went.

Met with hatred and suspicion, their father made the only choice he felt he could. They left the refugee camp, moving out into the woods away from everyone to wait for the hysteria to subside. They were still within a few days travel of the camp, allowing their father, and sometimes their older brother to travel back to the camp for supplies. When their father traveled there he worked to get his family a pass into Kenabres. This left the sisters primarily on their own, straying out into the woods to play.

And that’s when the demons attacked. The impending loss prompted the leaders of the Mendevian Crusaders to make a fateful decision— they pulled their support from Sarkoris, allowing the demon army to descend on what remained of that land, and instead concentrated their efforts on erecting wardstones along the West Sellen and Moutray rivers. The price of their actions proved steep, but, as the wardstones flared to life, the menhirs contained the demons within lost Sarkoris and saved tens of thousands from grisly deaths.

Around this time, the crusaders were working to place the Wardstones to contain the demon armies within Sarkoris and the Worldwound, but the stones’ effectiveness were still unsteady and shifting. And in between one blink and the next a demon slunk through before making its way through the forests towards Kenabres-towards two elven children with magic in their being and power in their veins.

A flash of claws and teeth and the demon was upon them both. It was only the fateful timing of their brother’s quick thinking that saved their lives. Hearing their screams, he grabbed his sword and ran into the forest. He didn’t pause when he saw the demon attacking his sisters, instead, he jumped into the fray, slaying the demon. The girls had survived, but there was something on the demon’s claws that forced the two injured girls into a coma, leaving them bedridden for weeks.

After they had finally awoken and their wounds had healed the girls were changed. Almost every night they experienced nightmares. Soon, Lothuialthel didn’t want to sleep, kept awake by not only her own nightmares, but those of her twin. Elanorthel did manage to sleep between the nightmares that bombarded her and her twin.
When their father returned home to this changed family with a chance at a new life. He had acquired a pass into Kerabes. Soon, the family moved from their home in the woods to the city. The girls took this change in their life to choose their names. Elanorthel, the eldest, became Caethel; while Lothuialthel became Nidthel. Their father took a job with the city guard, while their brother joined the crusades. He wanted to stop what had happened to his sisters from happening to anyone else. Anytime the girls spent at home, it was with their mother.

Nidthel became determined to stay as far away from home as possible once inside the city walls.Her mother was unstable without their father nearby, and was known to fly into vicious rages that kept her children on edge. When not sticking close to Caethel (which was a rare occurrence in of itself), she found herself watching swordplay and the witches within the walls. Their treatment since being forced from their home town left her with a deep well of rage. Through might and magic she swore that she would gain the power to get vengeance on whoever wronged her and her sister in the future.
