Personal history
Elyrion Songseeker is the son of a minor noble in the Summer Fey Court on the island of Wittering. Born out of wedlock, Elyrion was not welcome into the court, and was instead sent to live with a close friend of his mother, an elven scholar and magus named Enna, who lived outside of the feywild. During his time with Enna, Elyrion served both as her assistant and her pupil, assisting her with her research into the withering of the island, as well as learning the fundamentals of magic from her. While his mother did visit them a couple of times a year, Elyrion spent most of his time alone with Enna in her hut in the wilderness of Wittering. He sometimes visited the city of Wittering, at first together with Enna, but as he grew older he was sent alone to borrow or buy important books a few times a year. The pair also interacted with the Hillsburrow tribe of halflings that lived close to them, trading information on brewing potions and minor magical spells for meat, herbs, and ingredients. In the Hillsburrow tribe, Elyrion also met his first long-lasting friend, a Halfling hunter by the name of Oda Mountainfoot, who was of a similar age as him.
Enna, a Diviner by trade, started seeing more and more signs of the withering of the island growing stronger. When she informed the fey courts of the island of this, it was decided that Elyrion would be sent to further investigate this, both as a representative of the summer court and his master. If Elyrion should prove successful, the summer court promised to make him a full-fledged member of the court, so that he may take his mothers’ surname. When Elyrion and Enna told the Hillsburrow tribe of the same findings, Oda volunteered to come with him. The two of them set of towards the city of Wittering,
During his stay with Enna, Elyrion learned of the language known as the “Words of Creation”, an ancient language said to be able to shape the world when spoken. Elyrion got fascinated by this, and vowed to find out if the language truly did exist, and if it had the powers attributed to it. Therefore, Elyrion hopes that his journey will lead to finding more information about the language.
Similar to the Words of Creation, there exists a language known only as the "Dark Speech", which is said to be so foul and evil that it can corrupt the land it is spoken in. Since the withering could have been a result of this, Elyrion is searching for any information regarding this language that he can find.
Education
Not formally educated, but has recieved education from his master.
Showed a natural proclivity to magic, and was thus schooled in magic by his master. While not suited for wizardry, Elyrion showed a great understanding of ritual magics, and thus knows some arcane rituals, as well as some smaller general purpose spells.

Employment
Acts as an assistant to his master, helping her with researching, writing, and experimentation.
Failures & Embarrassments
Elyrion is seen as a bastard son due to being born out of wedlock, and is therefore unwelcome in the summer court. While not particularly sad about that, Elyrion nonetheless feels negatively about not being allowed to take the surname of his mother's family.
Intellectual Characteristics
Logical.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Wants to find the cause for the withering that is affecting Wittering.

Savvies & Ineptitudes
Good at research, bad at potionmaking and cooking.
Has studied a lot of books regarding the withering, as well as books related to magical effects and curses as part of his apprenticeship to his master, and is thus very well read on history and arcane subjects.
While he is very book-read, he currently lacks a lot of practical experience in the subjects he knows a lot about.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Vidth, The Shifter Blood Hunter:
Enna, being a potion maker and scholar, sometimes gets visits from people looking for cures for or information about magical concoctions. One such visit was from a shifter by the name of Vidth, who had unwittingly drunk a concoction known as the Hunter’s Bane. This potion had given Vidth powers, but had also affected his shifter powers, leading to him no longer being able to control his transformations. Enna was able to help him out some in regards to controlling his transformation, but did not know of any way to cure the effects of the Hunter’s Bane. Enna promised to give him information if any would come up. Elyrion has spoken to Vidth, and knows that he has grown up in Wittering, and often takes on missions and other tasks for money. Vidth could be a good ally to have when exploring the city and its depths
Bear, The Shifter Barbarian
Being a scholar specialized in obscure magical phenomena, Elyrion’s Master often got requests to share her knowledge with people from far and wide. One such request came from the Elders of a sect called the Wardens of the Wood. The Wardens had contacted them regarding the “Accursed Archives”, an immense collection of arcane and eldritch writings that is said to be able to be accessed from tomes and libraries around the world, if one is unlucky enough to find them. A member of the wardens, a shifter woman called Bear, had been whisked away into the archives, and had come back with eldritch knowledge, which she now sought to master. While Enna could not provide much information, she had offered to let Bear travel with Elyrion and Oda on their journey, hoping to both be able to help the woman, as well as possibly gleaning insight into the withering from Bear’s newfound knowledge.
Elyrion is fascinated by the fact that Bear has entered the archives and come back alive. Maybe the archives might hold information regarding both the withering, as well as the words of creation and the dark speech?
Ansgar, The Vedalken Warlock
Elyrion knows Ansgar through his master Enna. Ansgar once visited Enna to share information about the withering, and during that visit, Elyrion got to know Ansgar a bit. Elyrion knows Ansgar has travelled much and would be a good ally for further researching the withering of the land.
Oda Mountainfoot, The Halfling Hunter
Oda Mountainfoot is a member of the winterfolk halfling tribe of Hillsburrow, who have traded with Enna for a long while back. Enna provides information about potionmaking to the tribe, and in return, they provide her with food, furs, and sometimes rare ingredients. During his stay with Enna, Elyrion came to know Oda, who often came together with other tribe members to learn. Oda turned out to have a knack for potion- and poulticemaking, as opposed to Elyrion, and was thus taught by Enna, who enjoyed having at least one eager pupil. Elyrion grew to like Oda, who was very much the opposite of him in many ways. While Elyrion was often holed up in his hut, studying highly theoretical information, Oda was highly practical, hunting together with her tribe, as well as travelling in the woods. The two often traded stories and information, Oda telling Elyrion about what it was like travelling the woods and mountains, as well as teaching him how to aim a crossbow, while Elyrion shared the information about herbs and animals he had read from various tomes belonging to his master. When Enna told the Hillsburrow halflings about the worsening of the withering afflicting the Island, Oda was more than eager to help and travel with Elyrion.
Elyrion appreciates Oda’s company, and sees her as a trusted friend, with invaluable practical knowledge about the island and living in the wilderness.

Relationships
History
Oda's point of view:
Oda has got to know Elyrion through his master and teacher, Enna. During her visits on business of her tribe, she often came into contact with Elyrion, who helped Enna with the tasks that were asked of her. Oda enjoyed Elyrion's company, as he was very different and foreign to her. She has always been attracted to things that weren't like the village life and during conversations they got to know each other better. She learned some things and forgot many more quickly, but what grew the friendship the most was their shared concern about the withering effect that the lands are suffering from.
Oda doesn't know the specifics, as this is all very technical, but Enna has prophetised that her tribe will be unable to live in the same place for more than a generation, due to a sudden spread of the withering effect. And this needs to be prevented, of course.
When it became clear that Elyrion was sent to further investigate this phenomenon, Oda decided to travel along and they made their way to the great city of Wittering.
