Dusseldorf
Age has bent Dusseldorf’s back but not his will. His hands still coax vines into motion, thick green ropes that lift and carry folk through Adrionne from the shelter of a wooden, gazebo-like platform grown rather than built. He speaks little while working, eyes always tracking the slow pulse of the forest, as if listening to instructions only he can hear. The Crimson Elves tolerate few outsiders, yet his presence draws no blades.
He once lived deep in Eleyond, kin to Nootka the Thymekeeper, until the Summer of Smoke swallowed the groves. Dusseldorf survived by guiding a herd of winged deer and their peryton companions through fire and ash, fleeing until his strength gave out near Adrionne. The Autumn Moon elves found him half-dead and chose to keep him alive, a decision that still raises quiet questions.
Now he serves as a courier, delivering letters and sealed bundles across the Incantum Forest along hidden paths. Elves of many courts recognize him and let him pass, more out of habit than trust. When asked why he still walks the forest at his age, Dusseldorf only shrugs and sends the vines ahead, already moving on.
Old man who is a member of Eleyond elves.
One of few allowed into the Crimson Queen's domain.
He delivers mail throughout the Incantum Forest.
Controls vine that move people around the city in a fortified gazeebo. Nootka's cousin.
escaped the great blaze by riding a group of perytons away.
