Aeranil tel Tal'thimaer

Very wirey and lanky.

Pale skin, several tattoos.

A high elf, born in the Azure Skydocks of Caleska to a family of well-to-do merchant sky-sailors. Their family owned a small fleet of ships (say, 3 vessels) and as a youth he served in various positions culminating as First Mate on the Merchant Skyship Calm Skies. The family is kind of regarded as new money, in an elvish sense-- they made their fortune a mere three centuries ago, and the true upper class names don't let them forget it. The family is also in the midst of petitioning for formal recognition as viscounts [placeholder low nobility rank], and facing some resistance from other, more established names.   When his magical talents manifested, he found himself gifted in the art of battlemagic, though less studiously inclined than many of his compatriots at the Academy of Spellcraft. He made a name for himself as a gifted magical duelist. His sister, Cia, loved to come see him duel, and he would always put on a gallant show for her... and any other ladies who might be watching.   After graduation, his mother wished him to return to the family business, but he had learned too much in his studies, and now he had an itch to see the world. In an act of minor rebellion, he instead joined the Akh'faern, the Army of Art, and worked his way up to the position of kery'faernaa (marine junior officer) on a navy skyship (Elladyr or "Starstrike")   First commendation: held off wild magic forces that surged while passing over the Scar with deft abjuration magic.   During the Bloodwar, he was honored for serving with distinction during the Siege of Caleska.   During a critical juncture, he took temporary command when the captain and many of the senior officers were cut off from the ship, and was able to delay the Stormtalon tribe of roc-riding giants from attacking the newly-raised, nearly defenseless Caleska. His actions earned him a promotion (to faernos), and a reputation for both personal and tactical skill and bravery in battle. However, his overall disregard for military structure and senior officers has made further promotions unlikely.   Currently on extended leave for personal reasons: trying to find his sister, who vanished at the beginning of the year. He's been tracking her all over, and is investigating a recent series of disappearances reported by woodelves in the area. A woman matching Cia's description vanished here three months ago.   He's also running from an arranged marriage to a countess (?).

Mostly male
