El'Rik Nisleen was raised on the southern slopes of the Mountains of Alandar, in a lonely spire was an elf that represents the joining of two different strands of the world.
Biography
El’Rik’s mother was a mage serving in the court of Ileuthar, known for manipulating fate, his father was a wild battle-dancer, an Archwraith of the Sylvan Kin from distant Galahir. The pair met during the living dead poured from the dark Ophidia and the Accord of Light was raised to repel them. Soom after El’Rik’s birth the Bastion of Dusk fell to a horde of Living Dead leaving him an orphan.
As a mixed Kin child neither side would accept him. The Sylvan Kin from his fathers side could not entirely trust the mixed Kin, While the Magic side from his mothers side saw him as a wild beast., who would be unable to control the magic developing in his veins.
The Mage-Queen Laraentha took pity and El'Rik became the charge of the royal household by royal degree. Raised in the southern reaches of Alandar by the wardens of Tor Alandar watchtower.
Raised in isolation from the mainstream elven society, he learned much in the ways of war and the wilds. As El’Rik matured he inherited from his father a love of the wilderness and the feral grace of the Fey, and from his mother, great skill at manipulating fate and magic.
Elves mature far slower than men, so have many years to master the new skills, therefore by the time he was mature enough to leave Tor Alandar, El’Rik was a master warrior and a master. Using each skill to complement an enhance the other.
Presenting himself to the Court of the Mage-Queen, El’Rik demonstrated his abilities, weaving a war dance that no other Sylvan Kin could perform, using his magic El’Rik leaped to impossible heights, passed through solid obstacles and even vanished entirely to re-appear somewhere else.
In battle this twin mastery was deadly, tearing across the battlefield like a tornado, leaving a trail of dead in his wake. Balance, it is the fine tuned balance that provides El’Rik his skill, tipped one way or another would rip his soul asunder.
