Backstory

Elendrir Thornwhisper grew up in Emberfield, the bustling port town along Coia's southeastern coast. Born to a human mother and an elven father, he often felt caught between two worlds, never fully fitting into either. From an early age, Elendrir displayed an extraordinary talent for magic, catching the attention of several scholars at The Emberfield Academy of Arcane Arts, where he became a top student.

Despite his immense potential, Elendrir was painfully shy and reserved, preferring the company of books to people. He was deeply affected by the stories of Archmage Ariel's sacrifice during the Shadow War, which imbued him with a deep sense of duty and a cautious view of powerful magic. His quiet competence and gentle soul, however, did not go unnoticed. When the stewardship of the long-neglected Eclipsed Alcazar became available, his mentors at the Academy recommended him, believing the responsibility would force him to grow beyond his timid nature.

Thrust into a public-facing role, Elendrir has blossomed. He discovered that his imaginative mind, once a source of private comfort, is a powerful tool for diplomacy and managing the grand palace. He has become more outgoing, using his creativity to restore the Alcazar's splendor and navigate the complex social landscape of Emberfield. Though still gentle, he is no longer timid, carrying himself with the quiet confidence of someone who has found their purpose.
