History: Many thousands of years ago during the War of the Gods, the gods of Light and Dark summoned spirits from the spirit realm to do their bidding. These were the elves. They cast away their spiritual forms for physical bodies and fought for the gods that summoned them. The Light elves fought for the Gods of Light and when the war was finished, the settled into the forests of Lodoss. One group of them choose the large forest in which is now Alania know as the Forest of No Return. It is an enchanted place control by an ancient tree planted by the Gods. Time flows differently in this land, the realm of spirits. Because of the odd flow of time, the Light elves that settled here became completely immune to the effects of time, thus making them immortal. Meanwhile the other Light elves lived long lives still, but never longer than 1000 years. So now the Light elves were divided into two races, High and "Common". Immortality made extreme changes on the high elves. They have retained most of their original spiritual nature and abandoned their material nature. High elves have given up on reproduction for the most part and married couples often lives separately, believing that all life forms need room to grow. Only two high elves have been born in the last two thousand years, Seri and Deedlit. High elves have an intense connection with the spirits that most other elves can never know. Seri and Deedlit's tribe is descended of the most elite warriors of the Gods of Light. They were the equivalency of generals and the most powerful elementalists. They had an even more intense communication with the spirits than the others of their race and could easily summon the most powerful. There is one of these warriors still alive today, Nalai. Seri grew up in the Forest of No Return and has spent most of her life there. Her mother and others of her tribe trained her in shamanism and she showed the same aptitude that others of her tribe had. Her life would be considered uneventful to a human, but in fact, she learned many things from her community and sees the first portion of her life as very crucial. She never knew much of the happenings outside her home, but she was there for the Fall of Kastuul and many other important human events. When she was 1107, Deedlit was born to Seri's aunt. Seri of course took part in training Deedlit as they rest of her tribe. About 100 years ago, Seri took her first venture outside of her small sylvan world. Most high elves took at least one trip outside the forest in lives mainly out of curiosity. Seri traveled through Kanon and Valis to the Mirror Forest. She avoided human settlements until she reached the Holy City of Roid. She had never met many humans, but most were wary of her. She had a hard time understanding why, since high elves had fought for their gods. She went on to the Mirror Forest, which at the time was secluded as another elven settlement. She trained common elves in more advanced shamanism while she was there and learned of common elf culture. While training, Seri met two elder elves; Mia a mercenary on hiatus and Azala, a common elf wanderer. Being her oldest students, they were her best and also became her close friends. While she educated them in shamanism, they educated her on humans and the other races. Mia was unique, being half-dark and half-common elf, and had a lot of life experiance from her travels. Though much younger than she, Seri came to highly respect Mia. Meanwhile, Azala had become attracted to Seri, however, she never realized it. After about 15 years, Mia decided to go back to work and Seri wanted to go home. The two women parted ways with Azala and traveled to the Forest of No Return through Valis and Kanon, stopping to visit Mia's home village. Seri showed Mia how to enter the forest and Mia only stayed a brief while, since she was anxious to return to work. Seri stayed in the forest and gave Deedlit her blessings when she decided to take a mission to the outside world. When Deedlit returned after the War of Heroes, she told her family of her experiences and introduced them to a human she met, Parn. Deedlit had decided to stay in the human world, but though her family preferred that she stay, there was nothing they could do to interfere with her choice. Deedlit has returned home off and on through the last 16 years. Most recently, a member of the tribe had a vision of great evil and knew Deedlit would be involved in fighting it. He informed the elders of this and suggested that she have another elf with her to protect her. Seri was chosen for various reasons, but she doesn't know of the vision. She reluctantly accepted the mission and traveled with Deedlit and Parn to Kanon where they were planning to help with the re-building. Personality: Seri is noble and dignified, but deep down is as playful and carefree as any elf. She is naive in dealing with humans and dark elves and comes off as arrogant. She is honest and loves life. Alignment: Lawful Good ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Horse Name: Ilavirin Gender: Female Age: 5 Breed: Krisoon Appearance: Ilavirin is a lovely little Krisoon mare, the typical in build. Small and delicate and at once strong, with a dished face and elegant little muzzle. Her neck and tail arch high and she is very expressive. Ila is dappled rose-grey in color. Her mane and tail are dark, but the end of her tail turns pale grey. She has four white socks and a white blaze. Height: 14.7 HH Color: Dapple Rose-Grey Marks: Darker grey mane & tail, white tipped tail, 4 socks, blaze History: Ilavirin was born in Shuva at one of the famous stables, but when she reached weaning age, was quickly sold with several other horses to a nobleman in Moss. There, she grew up and was trained by some of the best. When she was two, it was decided that she would be one of the mounts of a lady for her gentle disposition and delicate feminine looks. She proved to be a good mount for what the lady needed, but their house fell too far in debt and the family lost all their estates. Ilavirin, with the other horses of the stable, was auctioned off in the town. She and a couple other horses were bought by a horse trader. Being such a fine specimen, she would fetch a high price from anyone wanting to buy from the trader, so she found herself with him for quite a few months. They stopped by a human village just on the outskirts of the Mirror Forest and someone was found able to afford her. They were a well-to-do middle class family, and again, Ilavirin was a lady's mount. However, tragedy struck the forest in the form of Cray. Ila was one of the horses offered to the heroes, and was chosen by the High elf Seri. Temperment: Ila is a bright eyed inquisitive young mare. She loves the companionship of people, particularily women, and makes a good companion horse. Though she is not suited for battle, Ila is likely to shy at loud noises, flashes and fast movements.
