Avaine

Avanine has always been a bit of a tomboy. As a child, she loved to play war with the elven boys, and adulthood hasn't changed her much. To this day, she still gets a child-like pleasure from climbing trees and outsmarting her enemy.

Enathrae

Enathrae's parents hoped their daughter would marry some day and become a proper lady, but she had other plans. She was drawn to the elven forests by stories from her childhood and fell in love with her adventurous life in the wilderness.

Gwedmyr

Gwedmyr spent most of her life as a slave in Nighon's deadly tunnels. She escaped her cruel masters during the Reckoning and has since sworn to fight anyone who enslaves another. Whenever she finds a cave, she feels compelled to search it for the enemy.

Ilia

Ilia tends to empathize with both sides of a dispute, for one is never completely wrong as far as she is concerned. This makes her a good arbitrator of disagreements, but since Ilia never wholeheartedly condemns her enemies, some fear she is also capable of switching sides at any moment.

Jenova

Jenova is well-loved and respected among the elves, the envy of most women and the object of desire of most men. But Jenova ignores her admirers to concentrate on a search for something that has been missing from her life. Unfortunately, she doesn't know what that something is.

Kamiana

Kamiana, being the youngest of six children, grew up knowing how to shoot a bow and swing a sword. Like all her siblings before her, she patriotically volunteered to become an archer - not that she had any interest in doing anything else.

Lindette

Lindette is a 'mug-is-half-empty' kind of person, always anticipating the worst possible outcome. But her fellow archers put up with her depressing outlook on life, for when disaster does strike she is always ready.

Mephala

No matter how many wars Mephala fought, there was always a new one waiting around the corner. Her heart was no longer in it. And then came the Reckoning. Today, she still fights to protect her people, but she also searches for a way to rekindle the passion of her youth.

Neska

Neska spent years as a crossbowman in the Erathian military disguised as a young man because peasant women were not permitted to enter the service. A near fatal injury brought her into the care of an elven healer who discovered her secret and offered her an opportunity to serve in the elven Forest Guard, where she could openly fight for the common good.

Pyral

Pyral took up archery for sport at first. She had such uncanny accuracy with the longbow that her people practically forced her to become an archer. The day she killed her first enemy, however, she ceased shooting for the pleasure of it.

Shyn

Shyn was a 'wild-girl' raised in the wilderness without human contact until an elven ranger discovered her. He taught her how to speak, how to use the bow, and how to live among others, but this awkward girl still feels most comfortable around the animals of the forest.

Trinni

Keen-eyed and fearless, Trinni used to spy on the enemy before she was old enough to pick up her first bow. She would count troop numbers and types from a vast distance, relaying the information to her elders. Now that she's old enough to fight, she's ready to prove her combat skills as well.

Snowjay

Snowjay is the only child of a famous human knight and the elven princess he loved more than life itself. Numerous songs have been written about their tragic deaths, constantly reminding Snowjay of her loss. Now, she just longs to protect her people in their time of need while remaining as anonymous as possible.

Shaera

Shaera loves her father dearly even if Gramin can be overprotective at times. Although Shaera is considered one of the greatest beauties of the Elven Court, she prefers training her birds of prey to dancing and flirting.

Anium

At this age, Elder Counselor Anium's duties should be limited to giving strategic advice. Since the Reckoning, however, this charismatic old elf has come out of retirement to help his people and fulfill his longing for one last glorious adventure.

Blackdog

An elf with many shady dealings in his past, Blackdog is sometimes shunned by his own people. Nonetheless, he is loyal to his friends. He has traveled extensively over the years and made many interesting friends from all walks of life.

Callis

Callis is a cold and emotionally distant man, a trait that serves him well when on the hunt. While his tendency to rudely point out the faults of others keeps him from gaining any close friends, Callis is still highly respected for his archery skills.

Erensar

Erensar trained with and fought beside the famed elven hero Gelu, but never received any notoriety even though he felt he was a better archer. Now that Erensar is out from Gelu's shadow, it is his turn to shine.

Fahtrim

Fahtrim fled Erathia in a hurry and spent several years wandering before he came to settle among the elves. During the Reckoning, he revealed his bold selflessness by staying behind until the last possible moment to help others through the portals, a surprisingly valiant act from someone accused of murder.

Gillion

A renegade who has been both an enemy and a hero to the elves, Gillion always considered his chances for profit before he took any action. Recently, he had a change of heart and takes his role as a defender of nature quite seriously.

Ignatius

Ignatius once served the Kreegan demons for the opportunity to vent his legendary rage. After the Reckoning, he was nursed back to health by powerful elven healers. They also cured his fury, explaining that it was a result of a curse placed on his mother before his birth.

Ivor

Ivor proudly traces his lineage back to the Silence. Though born into elven nobility, he remains an archer - one of the best - who fights for the greater glory of his race (and himself, of course). Regrettably, the destruction of AvLee and the loss of his wealth hasn't quelled his arrogance.

Kyrre

Kyrre volunteers for every scouting mission, often vanishing from camp for days at a time to watch the borders. He is drawn to the solitude of the wilderness where he can study the plants and animals and bask in the peaceful silence.

Merlith

When Merlith was just a boy, his village fell victim to a battle between the Forest Guard and an army of undead. Fortunately, one of the elven soldiers discovered him with his slain parents. That soldier adopted the human boy, teaching him to be an excellent archer.

Ryland

A veteran of countless military campaigns, Ryland was the first (and to date, the only) human ever accepted by the Elder Council to be a commander of the Forest Guard. Some of his men joke that Ryland was really an elf who died and was accidentally reincarnated as a human.

Theritos

Theritos may be a braggart, but he backs up his swagger with his fierce fighting skills. He will taunt an opponent endlessly, even during battle, raising their ire until they make a fatal mistake - and then take advantage of them. Too bad his arrogance often makes his allies want to kill him too.

Gramin

Gramin is a career soldier who joined the Forest Guard as soon as he was of age. He’s fiercely loyal to the defense of his people, and to his daughter, Shaera. As a single father (Shaera’s mother died when she was young), Gramin sometimes has trouble choosing between his duty and her love.

Lord Harke

Born into one of AvLee’s noble families, it was Harke's fate to join the Elven Court and maybe one day lead the elven people. When he entered the Forest Guard, however, he found he loved the intricacies of battle and remained one of its commanders for far longer than anyone would have expected.

Regina

Regina's father perished in the Reckoning while saving his children. Deeply distraught over this loss, Regina spent many years in mourning. Then one of her older sisters encouraged her to make their father proud by becoming the best druid in the elven nation.

Aleta

Aleta was blind from birth, so she learned to adapt to the darkness and revel in the sounds and smells of the forest. One day, a druid discovered her blindness was the trick of a cruel fairy and cured her. Aleta was so grateful she became a druid too, but she still listens to the wilderness with her eyes closed.

Arebell

Arebell is fascinated by foreign people and cultures, so she travels endlessly to satisfy her interest in their different customs. This nomadic lifestyle has left her with no place to call home and few friends, so the Reckoning really didn't change Arebell's life much.

Eleece

Becoming a druid was an obvious life choice for Eleece, who is more at home in her garden than anywhere else. She can get just about anything to grow and is legendary for the beauty of her roses.

Gem

Even though Gem was at the center of over eighty years of wars and conflicts, she remained young and beautiful thanks to the waters of a special fountain. With the destruction of the old world, she no longer has access to those magical waters and is beginning to age normally again - something she desperately wants to avoid.

Labetha

Labetha is an earthy, straightforward woman. Although she spent some time away from elven society fighting in foreign wars, she has returned to the people who raised her to help them recover from the tragedy of the Reckoning.

Melodia

Melodia's emotions can be as flighty as a sprite's. In fact, she falls in and out of love so quickly that she has left dozens of heartbroken men behind pining for her attention. She doesn't mean to hurt them though. She would continue to love them if she could, but she just wasn't born that way.

Oris

Oris's tribe was destroyed by her own king, Kilgor, shortly before the Reckoning. Turning her back on the mindless cruelty of the Barbarian people, this brave woman embarked on a personal quest to find a greater meaning in the world, and she thinks she has found it in the study of Nature.

Saleena

Saleena spent much of her life taming horses and other animals as mounts, but when she became a druid she realized that she was destroying something beautiful by suppressing the independence of those wild creatures. Today, she focuses on setting all caged animals free.

Sannah

Many who have traveled with Sannah claim she is a pleasure to be around. In a few short minutes, she makes you feel better about yourself. Apparently, her charm is an unconscious trait, because she is always surprised when someone falls in love with her - and saddened because she has never been in love herself.

Tonwen

Tonwen was brought up in a sacred place by fanatical parents who believed she would one day bring peace to the world. During the Reckoning, it became clear to them that she wasn't a holy child, so her parents abandoned her. Tonwen survived, and today she loves being just a normal woman.

Vianne

Vianne refuses to talk about herself or anything from her past, and she gets upset if anyone asks. Despite her secretive nature, she is a talented druid who works well with others. She dreams of becoming an instructor one day and teaching young druids how to control their magic.

Aeris

Aeris is an excellent animal handler and one of the few elves who will admit that he likes this new world better than the last. For him, there is no better feeling than exploring the wild, untouched land and going where no one has tread before.

Braebar

Braebar is part of a growing number of druids who believe they shouldn't sit around waiting for others to attack. Defending your home is fine, but that only attracts others with less morals to attack you. Instead, he thinks the elven nation should strike first and hardest.

Brook

Brook is an artist who manipulates nature itself to create works of beauty. But he usually makes his pieces somewhere off the beaten path where they are rarely discovered. He's a humble druid who always seems distracted by some inner thought.

Coronius

Coronius searched a long time for a form of magic that fit his impulsive style. Although wise and thoughtful, he believes that, like the animals, people were meant to rely more on intuition and instinct to survive and wonders if this is not the way to a perfect society.

Derden

Derden began his career as a monk, but then he noticed that all things seemed connected in the natural world. This appealed to him. His transition from monk to druid was so gradual, however, that he cannot recall the day he became a man of the woods.

Elleshar

Elleshar is a rugged woodsman who seldom jokes. He believes in hard work and self reliance, and considers his duty to protect the natural world paramount to everything. So, he has committed himself to what he calls 'the endless battle against those who would spoil the natural order'.

Farnivon

Whenever a liaison with sprites is needed, carefree Farnivon is called because few people have the patience to put up with their practical jokes. For those who know Farnivon best, they have noticed that he is becoming more and more like the creatures he loves with each passing day.

Gue

Gue is a serene, intelligent man - the kind others come to for advice. So many have come to him over the years, in fact, that he has started composing a book of his ideals, including suggestions for how to live a happy life.

Iscandel

Iscandel is an ambitious young druid with dreams of becoming the youngest member of the druid ruling council. He feels it is his calling, and everything that he does is in preparation for the day when he will sit highest among the other leaders and guide his people to glory.

Kaliki

Kaliki is a hunter and druid toughened by the harsh, frozen environment of his native land. He despises any form of weakness. Where he comes from, weakness means death, and for that reason Kaliki rarely depends on others. A loner he may be, but you'll never have a stronger ally.

Lowell

Lowell is highly respected for his vast intellect, but the cost of this wisdom is his obsessive desire to be left alone with his studies. Like a hermit, he spends weeks at a time in the woods hunting for knowledge instead of food. According to Lowell, there is no higher pursuit.

Yesterfox

This private elf sometimes works as a spy because intrigue and lies come naturally to Yesterfox. Fortunately, his efforts are for the benefit of his people alone. He rarely stays anywhere for long, and never attracts attention to himself, choosing instead to be like a subtle breeze in the forest - quiet and unnoticed.

Elwin

Elwin is more interested in the grandeur of court life than the peaceful solitude of the forests. He lives in the moment. If not for his charming personality, the Elven Court would probably ignore this tall, gangly elf. But Elwin is one who can never be ignored.

Gathran

Nature is both beautiful and cruel. That is a druid's first lesson. For Gathran, it became his motto. He sees glory in a forest fire, or in that split second when a hawk crushes a mouse in its talons. That, is life!
