Theryis

THERYIS The Lost Home. Theryis was but a child, barely nearing 90th autumn of her life, when her home realm, Feywild, became lost to her for what seems an eternity now. It had happened during one of those ever dusky Feywild-days with the sky painted in warm hues of red, orange and pink, as she was practising the ancient art of arcane archery under the watchful eyes of her parents. Nowadays, she finds it almost impossible to recall faded memories from her past, feeling as if she had never experienced any of it in the first place, and only imagined it while in the Trance. Unfortunately, the single memory that confirms it all to be real is a painful recollection of her father slaughter, carried out by dark fey in an ambush orchestrated \ by a coven of hags. She managed to escape along with her mother, though while they were running, \ j suddenly, they both found themselves in a completely foreign realm under the blue sky and ruled by z a bright, blinding star, with their past memories quickly fading away. The New Home. In the years to come, Theryis travelled with her mother, initially desperately searching for the way back to Feywild, but fate or a chance have led them on a different path. After learning about lost and forgotten ancient ruins of their kind abandoned in this world, Theryis and her mother committed to protection of that legacy. They decided to settle in Neverwinter and opened a boutique, The House of a Thousand Faces, to ensure they had enough funds to sponsor their own travels. j Eighty years went by and they both began to feel like home, becoming more like other elves, more grounded in the seasons representing their personalities, although still shifting under heavy emotions, such as when Theryis's mother found a soulmate in a human Harper from Everlund, and soon after Theryis was blessed with a younger brother, Toram. His bright-burning, energetic soul erased last of Theryis's sorrows, as she had found a new joy in life: discovering world anew, together with a curious and mischievous boy, who grew up so quickly into the mature, carrying man he is today that Theryis still sometimes forgets herself and calls him by his childhood name. In her eyes, Toram is still just a young, inexperienced man, thus, she is often lenient, supportive and understanding to when he acts on his emotions, or follows his heart rather than the mind.
