Role

Chapter 7

Illaeth grew restless amongst the monks. He had spent years in meditation
amongst them, learning their ways and those of the saints. He had begun to
develop the perspective that even though he was an orphan, he was blessed
to be guided by the Thirteen Saints that contributed to preserving the Light
and love that nourished the lands. He had gleamed Wisdom from their amazing
deeds and virtue, but he knew that true Wisdom was gained by the experience
of living a life, not studying a life.

The time had come for him to leave the Sanctuary and follow his feet to upon
his own journey. He waited for the night and started out across the mountain
range, observing the same Thirteen stars that guided him all those years ago.
As he begins his journey the following traits should be noted:

1) Illaeth is a child of the Light, he was born upon the road and travelled
the world with his parents upon a holy pilgrimage. After his parents were
killed upon the mountain he was adopted by a group of monks who served in a
holy sanctuary. Between the monks, the pilgrims and his time on the road, he
has developed a love of people and different cultures and does not bear the
traditional snobby attitude that many high elves have. During his time at the
sanctuary he was named Illaeth Swiftheart, for his quick loving nature.

2) Illaeth was born under the Sphere of Wisdom which strongly affects his look
on the world. He believes that Wisdom is gained by the experiences one has and
immersing one self in other cultures. Because of this outlook, he is always on
the move, looking for new experiences, new friends and new ways to broaden his
world while enriching the lives of others.

3) Having awoken the Spirit of Light within him, he has been blessed with the
ability to heal the wounds of others. He still bears the Thirteen scars upon
his forearms from the frenzied bear, they have been incurable thus far due to
the grief and guilt he feels over the death of his parents. These emotional
scars drive him upon a quest to discover the various ailments that affect the
minds and spirits of others, a quest that will lead him down the path walked
by the Acolytes of the Golden Sun.

4) After his constant exposure to the number Thirteen, Illaeth has grown very
superstitious and has begun to seek answers for the calling on his life. He
is drawn to the Temple of Thirteen and the Zealots of Lord Whiysdan and will
seek out the Lucky Lord in hopes of discovering more about this mysterious
presence that has influenced and shaped him.
