Eleanor Feldemn

Hedge Mage Healer

Eleanor Feldemn's life began on Palesun 5, 2455, in a remote hamlet nestled on the fringes of a dense forest, a humble upbringing marked by simplicity and resilience. Her parents, hardworking farmers with weathered hands and quiet faith, offered a life of toil and love, though their modest means left little room for luxury, fostering Eleanor’s early connection to the land and its healing herbs. Her childhood was spent gathering wild plants under the canopy, a skill honed by necessity, until a brutal raid by bandits in 2470 razed her hamlet to ashes, claiming her family and home. Barely escaping with her life, the 15-year-old fled to the outskirts of a nearby village, where she rebuilt her existence as an herbalist, her nimble fingers crafting poultices from memory amidst the grief that fueled her quiet strength.   From 2470 to 2475, Eleanor honed her craft in the village, learning from an elderly herbalist who shared whispered tales of ancient magic tied to the earth’s bounty. This mentor, a reclusive figure with a knack for cryptic remedies, secretly introduced her to the subtle art of nature magic, using herbs and roots to channel healing energy—a skill she practiced in hidden glades to avoid scrutiny. Her slender frame, marked by the scars of her escape, bore the weight of her past, yet her green eyes gleamed with a determination to protect others from such loss. The dual life of public herbalist and clandestine mage shaped her, as she balanced the village’s trust with her growing mystical talents.   Now 32 in 2487, Eleanor lives on the village outskirts, her small homestead a sanctuary of dried herbs and quiet spells. The memory of her burned hamlet drives her isolation, while the lingering lessons of her mentor—whose gentle spirit she sometimes feels in the rustling leaves—guide her magic. Frustrated by the limits of her herbal knowledge and wary of the Sol clergy’s watchful eyes at the Temple of the Eternal Sun, she quietly experiments with nature magic, seeking to heal deeper wounds and protect her new home. Her public role as a healer masks a relentless ambition to master the earth’s secrets, a path forged in the ashes of her past.

Apparel & Accessories

Eleanor Feldemn’s apparel and accessories reflect her humble herbalist roots and clandestine magical practice, featuring a simple tunic of earthy green with muted floral embroidery that nods to her village upbringing, its loose weave offering practicality for gathering herbs. A weathered cloak of gray drapes over her shoulders, its hood providing cover for her secret spells, paired with sturdy leather boots that tread softly through forest streams. A hemp-woven satchel, worn but lovingly mended, hangs at her side, brimming with a small basket of fresh herbs, a leather-bound journal of remedies, and a vial of infused oils for her craft. Her tools include a smooth wooden staff carved with faint nature runes, a bone-handled knife for harvesting, and a pouch of dried roots tucked at her belt, all carefully tended; a braided herb charm around her neck serves as a quiet talisman, a reminder of her lost hamlet for those who notice.   GENERAL EQUIPMENT
