Althaea Smid
In the ancient woods of Elodria, where the whispering leaves carried tales of centuries past, Althaea, an enigmatic elf, began her journey. Born to a lineage deeply connected to the magic of nature, Althaea's early years were steeped in the traditions of the elven people.
From a young age, Althaea displayed a unique affinity for the healing arts. Her hands, touched by the natural energies of the world around her, possessed the ability to mend wounds and soothe ailments. Recognizing her innate gift, the elders of her community guided her towards the path of a healer.
Althaea's training as a healer took her deep into the heart of the ancient forest, where she lived in seclusion for nearly a century. Immersed in the study of herbal lore, magical remedies, and the intricate connection between nature and healing, Althaea honed her skills. During this time, she became attuned to the subtle rhythms of the forest and developed a profound connection with the spirits that dwelled within.
At the age of 101, Althaea's destiny took an unexpected turn. Representatives of House Allister, known for their appreciation of magical arts and mysteries, sought her out. The circumstances surrounding her recruitment were shrouded in secrecy, and Althaea, feeling the call of a greater purpose, accepted the invitation to serve within the noble house.
Upon joining House Allister, Althaea was given the role of healer. Her skills in mending wounds, curing ailments, and providing solace to those in need quickly earned her the respect of the noble family and the household staff. The Rune Forges, with their potent magical energies, intrigued Althaea, and she found herself drawn to their mystique.
Within House Allister, Althaea's path intertwined with Dubhlainn Smid, the skilled blacksmith and head butler. Dubhlainn, with a background in blacksmithing and a keen intellect, became a willing student to Althaea's teachings. Beyond the realms of runes and metal, their interactions bloomed into a deep and meaningful connection. Althaea, with her timeless wisdom, offered Dubhlainn not only knowledge but also the gifts of reading, magic, and the warmth of love.
As the years unfolded, Althaea and Dubhlainn's bond deepened. Their love, forged in the crucible of House Allister's secrets and traditions, withstood the tests of time. On Althaea's 250th birthday, she and Dubhlainn welcomed their daughter, Maddy, into the world—a child born of both magical and mortal lineage.
Althaea maintained a degree of mystery about her past. The reasons for her recruitment into House Allister and the events leading up to that fateful encounter remained veiled. Althaea, with a somber wisdom in her eyes, chose not to burden her family with the complexities of her own journey.
