About Reyoris NightflowerCharacter Description:
Reyo's skin is a light caramel color. Her hair is midnight black and typically bound tightly. If it's let down, it hangs past her waist. Her eyes are large and always moving around, observing everything around her. She is 125 years old, 6', 114 lbs. Lithe frame, wiry musculature. Very light on her toes. Character Backstory:
Raised among a large community of forest-dwelling elves, Reyo was steeped in Elven culture from her earliest memories. Tales of knowledge gained and lost filled her mind with a zeal for history. She spent nearly 40 years studying with the lorekeepers of her community. Her studies gave her access to information about ancient Elven relics which had been lost to her clan for hundreds of years. It was the discovery of this 'stolen' history that set her off initially. Not content to allow items of such significance to remain in the hands of those that had taken them, she sought out physical training, so she could set out upon her maturity to recover what history she could. We find her now, nearly 15 years into her quest for the first major relic in her book: Al'drunath, Circlet of the First Forestlord. Motivations:
Reyo happened upon a book of ancient tales of the first kingdom of Elves to inhabit the forests where she grew up. Though little remains of their society, save for a few broken structures and tattered scrolls, one story that managed to survive was that of Elvryc Owlheart. Elvryc was styled as the First Forestlord. The head of a family of Elves that had started what they considered an empire (but in reality was little more than a community of a few thousand souls). Already an accomplished wizard by the time they settled among the forests, he spent decades crafting a crown befitting a king of the forest. Made from entwined branches of holly, oak, and black elder, he infused the creation with arcane magic. Using a flawless uncut emerald as a centerpiece, he consulted with the druids of his family to petrify the wood, preventing it from ever rotting away. He named the circlet Al'drunath, after his wife and queen. All of the surviving descriptions and imagery (few though they may be) show Elvryc wearing the circlet. Legend says that the vast amounts of energy poured into the circlet over the decades Elvryc wore the crown imbued it with the power to make anyone that wore the device keener and of sharper mind and wit. To what extent this is true, no one knows. The last bit of information that she had was that during some time of strife in the past, a marauding band of upstart humans had goaded Elvryc's kin into battle. When the then Forestlord strode into the midst of combat, he was overmatched by the ferocity of the mercenaries and he fell. When, at last, the field of war cleared, they found his mangled body, but not the Circlet. Reyo decided to seek the Circlet first, out of all the relics she read legends of, because it was the most documented item. Further, she feels that if she can recover the Circlet, its power could help her either ascertain the location of other relics, or possibly bestow some kind of knowledge/memory on the wearer. Finally, she fears that if she was able to find any information about it, so too could those more willing to twist the ancient Elven magics to nefarious purpose. Character Sheet:
