Lirien Vaelor
Weaver of Magic and Tales
Lirien Vaelor was born around Palesun 12, 1870, in Galmalenora’s Lirienvath district, where the gentle flow of the Twinned Lotus Run cradled his earliest days, his eyes catching the emerald glow of the Spire of Vigilance and igniting a fascination with illusions. Trained in the magic of tongue and illusion magic under the city’s wardens, his slender frame grew graceful, his delicate hands bearing faint arcane traces as he mastered silver tongue, marking his resilience and sly wit. Every decade would deepen his love for trickery, setting him apart from his distant elven kin as he began to explore the wilds beyond Galmalenora’s fortified walls, driven by a curiosity that would shape his destiny.
Self-taught in survival and performance, he crafted his art by blending magic and music to dazzle audiences while his study of storytelling and collection of said stories gave him a never ending love for his passion. A mediation of a Demihuman disputes showcased his diplomatic flair, though past heated debates of emotions left him wary, his platinum blonde hair often tied back with a vine clasp as he balanced his elven heritage with the freedom he craved beyond rigid traditions.
Now 617 in 2487, Lirien roams the human cities, his flowing robe billowing as he scouts and performs, his harp playing and illusional skills ready to outmaneuver any who show a threat. He is driven to preserve his art through performances in storytelling, his sly smile masking a wariness born from conflict. Amidst demihuman artists and Lavonian scouts, he finds allies who share his love for nature’s beauty, his silver eyes scanning for inspiration, as he uses trickery to protect and explore, honoring the fey spirits that he believes guide his chaotic path.

Social Aptitude
Lirien’s social aptitudes shine through his charming demeanor with diverse folk, his silver eyes twinkling with a sly smile as he weaves tales and illusions to captivate demihumans, Lavonian scouts, and even skeptical humans in the wild outskirts, his melodic voice and graceful gestures winning trust with ease. He remains wary of rigid structures, his elven spirit recoiling from the strictures of human laws, often tilting his head and a small smirk in quiet defiance when faced with authority. Yet, he bonds deeply with those who appreciate the natural aspects of beauty, sharing thoughts and archery with demihuman artists and elven outcasts as he points out the elegance of a forest glade or the shimmer of his illusion-etched robe.
