Role

Chapter 4

Teithiwr is the second of four brothers from a small wood-elf tribe at some
point in Thera's past. Even though he was not the oldest, he was often looked
to by his brothers as the leader. This was due to his thoughtful and organized
nature. His oldest brother was wholly unconcerned with anything except
spontaneous adventure, which is likely what caused Teithiwr to be more
deliberate in his actions. He is not necessarily cautious, but feels
comfortable when things have a bit of order to them. His younger brothers were
as wild as well, but were tempered in their chaos by Teithiwr.

He is also very interested in stories and histories of any kind. He would run
off for days and even weeks at a time to the huts of various hermits, shamans
and storytellers that lived away from the tribe to learn their stories and
histories. It was in these places that he first learned the stories of
creation and heard of the forces of nature that brought the world into being.
In present day Thera, they are called the Ancients. This will become his
obsession as he works to find a way to free his brothers from the void.

He is a fierce and loyal friend, but is not prone to vengeful acts. In his
time, he and his brothers often fought amongst themselves and yet were
inseparable. Their tribe also often engaged in battle with neighboring tribes.
Despite this, the tribes would often come together at festivals and the
harvest in a friendly manner, and there were celebrations and feasts where the
men would trade tales of war and work to impress the women of other tribes.
Just before the incident where he was ripped through the void in fact,
Teithiwr had begun a courtship with a beautiful young woman called Ceridwein.
He thinks of her often and has an amulet around his neck she made for him.

He is generally kind and happy, quick to laugh and would let a slight pass
without offense, but can fall into bouts of a cold and focused seriousness.
Some may see him as uncaring or unconcerned, and his smile and laugh might
feel disingenuous. It is simply that he often has many things on his mind and
a sense of responsibility that he is the only one that can set everything
right as it was supposed to be.
