Sadron Isthír: Gîlmunrîel's Royal Archivist
Lord/Sir Sadron Isthír
It's quite in the archives today. Most of the others have taken the day off and knowing the aids, they're probably out, running wild and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Crazy kids. I, on the other hand, need to find something.
My fingers trail over the spines of the books, reading the titles, searching for the one I need. It's on this shelf, I just need to find it. I pause, lightly gripping the spine now that I've found it. A soft sigh leaves my mouth and I pull it out, walking over to where the windows are, well away from the delicate books and scrolls we keep back in the archives.
I settle in my chair, opening the book, grateful for the opportunity to relax and just read. There's so much going on, it'll be nice to have time to myself.
Then I hear tiny footsteps. I shake my head. They found me.
"Come here you two." A small head pokes up next to my hand. Golasion. I pat my son's head. "You too, Tuiaion."
The second appears over my head. I glance up, seeing him balanced on the back of my chair. "Get down."
Tuiaion rolls down onto my lap, quickly joined by his twin. "What are you reading, Daddy?"
"A book on our history."
"Why read that when you're resting?" Golasion asks.
"Because I find history relaxing." He and Tuiaion look at each other.
"When you're done relaxing, will you play with us?" Tuiaion asks. I laugh and pat his head.
"Sure. I'll be out after lunch. Go play until then." They race off, leaving me alone with the book and my thoughts.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Strong and healthy. Muscular but lean. Quick, agile but decently sturdy.
Facial Features
Several small scars running under his right eye.
Physical quirks
Ambidextrous
Special abilities
Wind magic
Apparel & Accessories
His clothes are practical but nice, as he is a regional lord. Nothing flowing. Shirts and pants are loose but not so much that they completely hide his form, just enough so that you can't really tell how very strong he is. Usually has a long coat over his clothes and knee-high boots to protect his legs from the undergrowth.
Specialized Equipment
He has two swords: his knights' blade inscribed with the following, Sen hathel abhith dodh gamps ar carchs, i man tha galu na Locien's iâr. (This blade be your claws and fangs, thee who is blessed with Locien's blood.)
The second is inscribed with the following, Ni am an aran hathel (I am the king's blade). This is his preferred weapon.
Mental characteristics
Education
Highly educated. He has trained up as the Royal Archivist as a second career after his first as a Lochir then became regional lord on top of that.
Intellectual Characteristics
A keen mind and a good memory. Very well organized.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To protect his people and family as well as guard his people's history.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
He can duel wield, but even more impressive is that he can take on five heavily armored men single handedly with just a single weapon, most likely a sword, and without any armor on himself.
Likes & Dislikes
He enjoys keeping the archives and walking through the forest. Spending time with his children, either helping them in their studies or their training, is something else he greatly enjoys doing.
He doesn't like it when someone interrupts him in his research or bothers him while tending to his duties as regional lord with trivial matters that don't require his immediate attention or his attention at all. If something can be handled by others and he be simply informed of it later, he's grateful and glad as it means he's surrounded by competent people who can handle minor hiccups in the daily things. If it's actually dangerous or more complex, he'll gladly step in to ensure things are taken care of and his people protected, even if it means his life.
Virtues & Personality perks
Patient, kind, strong-willed, brave, intelligent, organized, quick to set aside personal projects to tend to his peoples' needs.
Vices & Personality flaws
Despite being the kingdoms' most skilled and highly respected knight, a regional lord and the Royal Archivist, he also loves his sleep. There has been more than one occasion that he has overslept and had to rush to get ready for something on short notice. He also has no patience for someone who is intentionally ignorant.
Personality Quirks
Doodles when bored. On his hands, on pieces of paper, whatever is there.
Hygiene
Neat and clean. Keeps his clothes well kept.
Social
Reign
He's been regional lord for about three thousand years.
Family Ties
He has three children: two boys, twins, named Golasion and Tuiaion and one girl, Daedeluiel.
Some people think Sadron a bit odd for being an archivist after having spent so long becoming a knight. I don't. He's always loved history, asking him to be a keeper of knowledge and memory, assisting our Druids in the preservation of such was a dream come true for him. That and he became the knight assigned to protect our archives and keep an eye on the Druids, preventing harm from coming to them.
I admire his commitment to our history, to learning and exploring the distant past. That curiosity, it has driven him to figure things out. He's a fighter and an explorer, even though he now mostly explores old documents.
