Long before the race of man first lifted his face to the sun, a tribe of elves stood watch in the north, battling the Linnorm that dwelled there, and maintained an uneasy pact with the fey that dwelled there. Over the centuries, they lost the fight and their way, falling to barbarism and forgetting their true past. A small village on the south edge of the frozen wilds is all that exists of these forgotten sentinels. The elves trade with the local Ulfen settlements and occasionally venture out on their war and trade ships.
Tears of the Sky is one such elf. After a successful killing of his first mammoth, a rite to adulthood, he ventured West to the coastal villages. Hired on as a guard on a trade ship, the boat sailed far to the south, eventually ending up in Absalom. On the return trip, the boat docked in Augustana. A night of drunken revelry at a local tavern later and the ship was sacked and burned, racial tensions were to blame. Tears is now marooned in a city that hates Ulfen and likely him by association.

Tears of the Sky stands just over six feet tall and has the frame of an athlete. His dark hair is normally tied back and his skin is pale like the snow. He regularly dresses in his wolf pelt armor that doubles as heavy clothing against the cold. In combat he wields “Shattertusk”, a greatsword given to him by his grandsire that clinks quietly with attached talismans, charms and fetishes.
During his day to day, Tears enjoys hunting, philosophical discussions about the state of the natural order, and poems written by warriors. Still young, he believes these are the pillars to making a great warrior and leader of his people.
