Name:
Illistrianna
Age:
639 years old
Gender:
Female
Race: Moon Elf.
The elves of Elvira are divided into 2 subspecies:
The Sun Elves are a peaceful and friendly folk of the land, are exclusively male, usually tanned to dark skin because they spend most of the days farming outside during daytime and tradition has it that their name starts with a “Z”, for they are the second-born of the Creator.
The Moon Elves are vigilants and protectors of the realm, exclusively female, their skin complexity ranges from pale to light blue, as their waking hours are spent during night time and as the firstborn of their Creator, the Moon Elves have a tradition of adopting names that ends with an “a”.
Appearance Illistrianna is an elf of otherworldly beauty, by elven standards. She is the pride of the Moon Elves, as it is said she might be blessed by Lunara herself to become her avatar. Mirroring the fabled description of the goddess, Illistrianna bears an alluring slender silhouette of ivory-white skin, long silvery locks of hair, cold-blue eyes that seem to pierce the darkness
Home World: Elvira.
Homeland of the elves, it is surrounded by towering mountains and the ocean, creating a natural barrier against the outside world only accessible through the air. To add another layer of protection, giant trees surround the realm at the mountains’ foot and the ocean’s shore. It was told these trees were planted by the oldest of the elves to secure the land from prying eyes. Past the treacherous mountains and the dense forests, true beauty awaits at the center of these lands. Verdant plains and glistening lakes make for most of the realm.
While humans conceptualize that polar opposites are keen to confront each other, the Elves rather think that opposites are two sides of a coin, forming a whole and bringing balance to the natural order of things. Only by understanding this concept can a society thrive to its fullest. Elvira is populated by two kingdoms: Solaris and Lunaris.
The concept of those two kingdoms dates as far back as to the creation of the Elves. A single higher power gave birth to two children, one born of gold and the other born of silver. The Elves are descendants of those children, never mixing with each other but acknowledging they are of the same divine lineage, and thus vow to look after each other even through their differences.
Solaris is the Sun Kingdom, populated mostly by the Sun Elves and a handful of Moon Elves. The kingdom stands at the very heart of Elvira, surrounded by plains and a lake. The people live their life in peace, farming the fertile lands all day and enjoying themselves in festivities during the evening.
On the other hand, Lunaris has taken upon the mantle of protectors. Moon Elves live in the forests surrounding Elvira’s borders, ever vigilant to potential threats that manage to reach the realm. Rare are the Sun Elves in this kingdom.
While the servants of the moon are patrolling the lands and keeping it safe, the Sun Elves offer generous tributes to their nightly brethren to help and show appreciation. One could say that despite their peaceful life, a Sun Elf toiling the land has just as much fervor than a Moon Elf fighting, producing enough food for two families.
Patron Deity: Lunara.
She is the firstborn of Elvira’s Creator, Empyrean. Born of silver light, she embodies the moon. Lunara reigns over the moonlight and the night. As the elder sister, the dogma followed by all Moon Elves is to fight at all costs to protect your kin, fight to honor your family and friends. Her light shines the strongest when guiding those who are lost in the darkness, for despite being harsh and seemingly cold, she is the wisest and most benevolent.
Champion’s Blessing: Sanctuary.
A staff made of the purest white wood. One of Lunaris’ most sacred relics, Sanctuary is said to have been the vestige of the first tree from which the Moon Elves were first born, which now serves as an anchor to Lunara’s will to protect her children. It has been kept on a pedestal, in the heart of the capital’s castle since the dawn of elven civilization. By the will of Lunara, the staff is now in Illistrianna’s hands to guide her into her journey away from home.
Sanctuary is just as its name implies. Its powers put to shame any and all manner of magical protection. It creates a small barrier around the holder, shielding those within the barrier from anything outside it. However, those within are also cut off from the outside world, unable to hear or see anything outside. Sanctuary is meant to be a place where the chosen ones need a safe haven to rest, heal and prepare where it otherwise would be impossible.
Inventory:
Illistrianna doesn’t have much on her person. She holds dear a symbol of her goddess Lunara, a journal and a sword both given to her by her sisters. She also carries an assortment of fresh fruits from the royal gardens, her personal medicine pouch and spare healing potions.
Magic: As the High Priestess of Lunara, Illistrianna has been blessed with outstanding divine powers. Her specialties are healing powers and supportive magic to aid warriors in their battles. Her magic is often characterized by a glow of silver moonlight surrounding her.
While Illistrianna’s magic can seem limitless, the strength of her magic is tied directly to her goddess. The strength and amount of magic she can use is proportionate to how close she is to Lunara. The further she strays into the darkness, the weaker her magic becomes. If she asks too much, she has to compensate by using her own life force, which has its own limit otherwise she could very well end up ending her own life by trying to cast too much magic.
Skills:
Illistrianna has no actual skills of note. The only thing she has is uncanny charisma and wisdom, making her a natural diplomat, negotiator and leader.
Personality:
As mentioned previously, Illistrianna is a charismatic and wise leader. Her upbringing caused her to look cold on the outside. Calm and collected, she rarely talks without an actual purpose, her words well-chosen. Despite her appearance, she is kind and looks out for the well-being of those under her care. Illistrianna is very religious, her decisions guided by the dogma of Lunara’s teachings.
History:
Illistrianna was born of triplets, each coming to this world with great expectations as they would each become the Heralds of Lunaris. Being born with physical traits that were thought to be some sort of reincarnation to the goddess Lunara, Illistrianna was raised to become the next leader of the Moon Elves. Most of her youth consisted of being holed up in an ivory tower, learning to become a proper monarch and leader to her future people, while her two sisters grew out to become a warrior and a wandering scholar.
Hundreds of years passed and she effectively came at an age to become the successor to the crown. However, feeling that she was not born alone and that her privileges were meant to be shared with her kin, she shattered the old order and re-established a new Moon Order, from which the leading members would be a Council of Elders and the Ruling Council formed by the three sisters. While Rosearia would lead Lunaris’ defenses and Annastaria would oversee the Magic Council, Illistrianna would act as the face of the Council and would announce the decrees and become the head of diplomacy towards outside forces.
On top of being the leading face of the Moon Elves, Illistrianna would restructure the religion of her people according to the voice and dreams that guided her throughout her life. She evolved from being a simple devout to High Priestess in a short amount of time. The fading moon religion was rekindled thanks to her efforts, and Lunara’s blessings have never been stronger than before, which led to the belief that Illistrianna truly was meant to be the goddess’ avatar.
