Elaneril Annuwen

Elaneril was very tall, even for an elf, and kept herself in peak physical condition. She was not typically considered beautiful by elven standards.

Elaneril was a paladin of Sehanine, and therefore able to channel the moon goddess' divine power.

Elaneril typically wore a set of studded leather armor, later with the markings of the Star Sentinels, and bore a symbol of the deity of her house, Sehanine Moonbow. She was seldom seen without the moonblade of House Annuwen, Elendil.

Elaneril was once a simple soldier in the army of the elves, where she fought a great many battles against drow incursions onto the surface and against the rising threat of frost giants in the north. It was during one of these missions that the Crown Princess of the elves, Celese Orellon, was kidnapped by the drow, and Elaneril's unit was assigned to track her down. The ensuing chase led to the deaths of much of Elaneril's unit, a mid-winter crossing of Hell's Point that nearly killed the remainder, and the ultimately successful rescue of the Crown Princess, whom Elaneril was eventually able to return to Illaier while evading enemy capture, forming the basis of a life-long friendship between the two. Elaneril was inducted into the Order of the Star Sentinels, the guardians of the kingdom for her courage in service to the Crown, and the prospects of House Annuwen, which until then had been considered only a middling player in the politics of the kingdom, skyrocketed with the attentions of Crown Princess Celese, who requested Elaneril as the captain of her personal guard.   When Celese Orellon became the queen of the elves, Elaneril Annuwen became the Guard-Captain of the Glass Palace, and continued her service to her monarch. Throughout her years on the throne, Queen Celese faced many assassination attempts by the drow and other enemies of the elves, and Elaneril Annuwen was primarily responsible for defending her queen and seeking justice against those who wished her ill. After a particularly dangerous incident where Queen Celese was exposed to an Abyssal poison, and Elaneril was forced to travel to the Reaches in search of the cure, the Queen reforged the moonblade of House Annuwen, Elendil, imbuing it with powerful enchantments and wards against evil in thanks.   However, this was not to last; as the conflict known as the War of Winter began, the elven capital of Illaeir was attacked in force by a combined army of drow infiltrators and demons summoned from the Abyss. The first wave of infiltrators breached the Queen's chambers in the Glass Palace, and Celese Orellon was slain before Elaneril could arrive. As the elves began to be overwhelmed, Elaneril began the evacuation of the city in conjunction with Lord Heian Tassarion, and gave her life battling monstrous demons while the civilians escaped. Her moonblade, Elendil, became lost in the chaos, and although Elaneril Annuwen and her heroism would become legend, her death heralded the total collapse of the elven kingdom at the onset of the true War of Winter.

Female- she/her/hers

Elaneril Annuwen was often proclaimed as one of the most compassionate and just of the elves, and her service to Queen Celese reflected that. Elaneril was known for always trying to take her enemies in alive, often going to considerable lengths to do so. Unlike many other elves, Elaneril had many friends among the other races that she made during her travels, always espousing the importance of working together in the face of the darkness that often threatened the world.

Elaneril always strove to do her best for both her people and all others in need.

Elaneril, like most other elves, worshiped Corellon Larethian, she also held Sehanine Moonbow in high regard as the patron deity of House Annuwen.

House Annuwen was never the richest of the elven houses, but due to her position in the service of Queen Celese, Elaneril was able to live quite comfortably.
