Acantha came into the realm of Almaris during The Deep Cold years ago, born to Callindra and Argonir Ia’darinn. During her childhood, the little Elfess lived a quiet life within the snow-swept region of the lands, among the Mali’fenn. The only family there with her were her parents and brother. As the days passed, Acantha soon realized that their family contrasted the other families of their quaint village. She questioned her parents as to why. The only answer to her question is that they are Mali’aheral—a family moved from the Silver State of Haelun’or. While her parents answered the question, it only led to more inquiries. Why did they move from Haelun’or? Why did they pick the Settlement of Fenn? Did something happen?
All of Acantha’s curiosity led to nothing but denial and avoidance from her parents. It was a troublesome cycle for the Elfess as she grew up in the snowy hills, which she soon had enough of. By age fifty-three, she concocted a plan to flee from the home she grew up in to not only reconnect with her High Elf heritage, but to follow her aspirations without restriction. Before Acantha fled the Settlement of Fenn though, she offered an invitation to her brother, Tyndareus. Tyndareus accepted the invitation without hesitation. Thus, the siblings Ia’darinn fled from their childhood home to discover the world beyond the snow.
Acantha stopped as soon as the gentleman approached her. She silently straightened out the fabrics of her robes. Meanwhile, her eyes looked the stranger up and down. “I suppose you could say that I have grand aspirations,” the Elfess waved one hand dismissively, “To advance my social standing is not what I seek, though.”
Before the man could question her further, Acantha’s other hand motioned outward to drive him back. She continued down her path as she said coolly, “I wish to further my studies, simple as.”
