Queen Ellia'lorel
Relationships
History
During one of King Lorvahn's visits to the Elven city to maintain relations, he roamed the woods disguised as one of his guards in an effort to deter would-be assassins while he had some downtime. It was there that Ellia found him, and she had no issues beginning a conversation with mockery for his manner of dress, as she had no knowledge of who he actually was. Over the course of his stay, the two continued to meet, with Ellia finding this Half-Elf calling himself "Lorn" a refreshing change from her usual stifling Elven company and Lorvahn finding her relatively brusque personality an equally refreshing change from the tedious political discussions of his daily life. The two bonded over their appreciation of music and artistic expression, and it wasn't long before this mutual appreciation of each other's company began to blossom into something more. Lorvahn stayed in Alea'thesai for a month and a half, suspiciously longer than was required for his endeavors there, but eventually it was time for the King to return to his duties in the capital, still not having told Ellia of his true identity. The two met for what both assumed would be a final time, as Lorvahn's duties required his return and talks of Ellia's ascension to a Treespeaker were growing in number. Following a long, sorrowful, silence, Lorvahn blurted out a spontaneous proposal of marriage. shocking Ellia. With great reluctance, her initial response was that such a thing wouldn't be possible, as a Treespeaker is not a role that she could just throw away due to its importance to the sustainability of her people. After a few moments of long thought, Lorvahn proposed a simple solution: Accompany him to Torvahlis and establish another colony. Ellia immediately laughed off such an ignorant proposition, as establishing a new Great Tree would be impossible without the approval of the King. To which he replied that, fortunately, he held that title. Following a period of intense mockery and frustration that he would make a "joke" at a time like this, Lorvahn managed to eventually explain to her that he was not lying, that he was in fact King Lorvahn. This was, of course, met with another round of even more intense (and completely justified) frustration and mockery for his deception. As the story goes, Ellia went through a very animated amount of shouting, pacing, and lecturing, Lorvahn finally erupt into laughter, asking her if that meant she agreed. Which she did, although according to Lorvahn this certainly was the not the end of his scolding, which he claims lasted for several more hours. Ellia on the other hand claims he is heavily exaggerating. After clarifying the situation with the shocked council of Treespeakers, and with Lorvahn making several pledges in the process, Ellia was granted the seed of a new Great Tree, and after their return to Torvahlis accompanied by a group of Wood Elves, the two immediately set to work finding a location to establish this new colony. They eventually settled on a forest to the South of Torvahlis, which was renamed to "Ellia's Rest", and over the centuries it has grown into a thriving Elven colony. While not as large as Alea'thesai, Ellia's Rest serves a connecting point between the Wood Elves and the people of Torvahl, even having a main road run through it and a small town existing within it called "Elfpoint", where Elves and non-Elves alike gather and exchange stories, art, and trade goods.
