Appearance

Physical Description

Ril's heritage is half grey elf, half temporal spider abomination. Fortunately for everyone's sanity, she looks like a (relatively) mundane elf.
 
While Ril is over 500 years old, as of 23 ARL she has been physically de-aged to 137.

Facial Features

Ril's natural eye color is violet, but her left eye was lost in an orc attack when she was young (around 40 years old). The lost eye has been replaced by a magic orb that (due to shenanigans) is linked to the lifestream, and this "replacement" visibly pulses with prismatic energy. She wears an eyepatch to contain it.
 
Ril's hair is normally black, but due to her connection to Renedge it changes color in proximity to whatever leyline she's near.

Mentality

Personal history

Ril always had a gift for fixing and smoothing over time anomalies. This may be attributable to her heritage; her father was an elven chronomancer and hero, and her mother is a shapeshifting temporal spider/time beast. Some facility with time is to be expected. But whatever her talent's origin, she has embraced it.
 
Ril lost her left eye as a child in a battle with orcs (a battle which, due to later temporal shenanigans, no longer ever happened). Later in her life she did a favor for a very powerful entity, Lady Night, who gifted her with immunity to paradoxes. This factor, her talent, a magic book written by the former archmage of Renedge, and the magic orb Ril had placed in her empty socket all came together during a battle against a deepspawn-esque temporal beast in the midst of a temporal anomaly inside the memory of Renedge.
 
In an effort to defeat the monster and close the anomaly that had trapped her party, Ril overcharged the magic orb with life magic that she'd learned from the book. The eye broke, creating a strange rift or connection to the lifestream that consumed the monster. The eye has since consumed or absorbed a number of other magic orbs/eyes, and requires an eyepatch made by Nicce to contain its weirdness.
 
"Functionally, it is not the deepspawn creature in there... It is its memory... Along with EVERYTHING else."
 
As a side effect of this connection to the lifestream, Ril's hair now changes color depending on the nearest leyline.

Education

Educated in the Temple of Labelas

Employment

Aetheril fills a multitude of roles. She is a priest of Labelas Enoreth, an experienced mage, and a dimensional exorcist. She also works as an herbalist and writes reference books about the use of plants and herbs. When needed, she works for the gods of time (the Aedar, the collective of time gods) to fix time rifts.
 
She has also formally been chosen by the planet itself as the Historian of Renedge: Her magic eye allows her to identify, read, and interact with solcite, which is essentially Renedge's memories and history in solid form. Given that Renedge has occasional memories that cause issues and try to escape, this is a much more active job than its name implies.
