Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born in Venäy in Dadmaynan to a noble family she was raised like most elves allowed to dabble in one thing after another as the whim struck her. At a young age, for an elf, she developed an abiding interest in both magic and swordplay and began focusing on both fusing them in the style of a magus. When she was a mere 125 years old, she set out to explore the world beyond Dadmaynan.
She joined a group of itinerant adventurers who were exploring the Frontier Lands. She spent over a decade in their company exploring and growing in power. It was the exploration of a vast forested region that planted the seed that would grow into Tatidär. Seeing the vast and fertile lands she thought how it would be a wonderful place to settle.
It would be another sixty years before she would act on this. First, she retired to Dadmaynan where she continued her studies, but she never forgot the vast forested lands. Knowing that the humans were settling and establishing kingdoms in the Frontier Lands, she began to consider the possibility of establishing an elven kingdom as well. She talked to a few of her peers and found some interest, but for sixty years she never acted, instead simply making the occasional plan and researching what she might need to know.
In the year 610 she began to seriously plan, including recruiting settlers for her new kingdom. It was another decade before she left, leading a band of seventy elves to the heart of what she named Tatidär to settle the community she named Bishara. But founding the nation was an adventure in itself. The land was the home of goblins and kobolds, who had to be Persuaded to move on. The goblins were largely driven out as their penchant for burning large swaths of the forest was anathema to the elves. However she did manage to make a few treaties with some of the kobold tribes allowing them to remain within the bounds of Tatidär. Her biggest challenge was the dragon Claughaurak who claimed the land of Tatidär for himself. After several damaging attacks Hayyal was forced to lead a party to the dragon’s lair where she slew it and claimed his treasure for her fledgling kingdom.
Her biggest challenge was the war of 678 when her country was overrun and Bishara was besieged by an army of orcs and giants. While the elves managed to repel several attempts to overrun the town, they surrounding humanoids were clearly planning to fire the forest and burn them out. It was the druid Sirion who saved Bishara by summoning a powerful storm that foild the plan to fire the forest and provided cover for Hayyel to lead a desperate assault to break the siege. The battle was dearly won, and Hayyel herself was nearly killed in single combat with the orc chieftain Madudoc.
After the war of 678 she led many of the expeditions to cleanse the land of the remnants of the invaders. She has largely retired since then from active adventuring to run her kingdom. She has negotiated several trade agreements with lands beyond Tatidär.

Education
Like most elves Hayyal’s education was a very haphazard affair with her picking up knowledge and skill as the whim to study something struck her. Consequently, during her long childhood, she dabbled in a number of occupations. As a member of a noble family she had quality tutors in any subject she wished to study. She tried her hand at music, crafts, and other things before trying magic and weapons play. At a young age she fell in love with both swordplay and magic. Her parents made sure she had the finest tutors in both weapons and arcana and she picked thigs up quickly.
Upon retiring from adventuring she once again began dabbling in different subjects. But now it was more than dabbling, older and more mature, she took to her studies with a more serious temperament. She also studied with a purpose in mind. She studied economics, agriculture, diplomacy, and anything else she could think of that would help her as a ruler. Consequently, when she began recruiting settlers for her kingdom, she had accumulated quite a bit of knowledge about a multitude of subjects. She was not an expert in anything, but she knew enough to pick the best advisors.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Hayyel’s goal is to build her kingdom and see it prosper. Tatidär is already one of the largest of the Frontier Land kingdoms but she is determined to build it even larger. She heard of the elves’ migration from the New Kingdoms as human kingdoms supplanted the kingdoms of the elves and she wishes to reverse the trend. She is particularly intent on establishing good relations with Ethfamen, Windbrücke, Klarland, and Hofkastell, as she expects that at some point Tatidär will share borders with them. She seeks to establish Tatidär as the premier purveyor of fine crafts, especially musical instruments, in the Frontier Lands.
On a personal level she seeks to reach the level of “True Magus”. She hasn’t had much time to work at it, but she finds time every day to exercise both her magic and her swordplay.

Savvies & Ineptitudes
Hayyel is a skilled battle mage, practiced at casting spells in the heat of combat. As a spell dancer she isn’t quite as powerful a mage as one who focused solely on magic. However, she makes up for it by her proficiency with weapons, particularly the long sword and her skill at casting spells while being engaged in melee combat. She is also a skilled dancer, and quite adept at diplomacy. She is somewhat less skilled at the other tasks of rulership, but she makes up for it by her skill at finding talent and delegating.
She is not very skilled at lying tending to be straightforward and honest, she is also not very skilled at discerning when she is being lied to. This also means she sometimes doesn’t realize when she is being joked with so she sometimes comes across as humorless, when in fact she has a good sense of humor.
