History
Ryllae was born in a small village near the city of Normandor. From the early years of his childhood, he was mostly on his own and had to learn to take care of himself at a very young age. His mother died due to illness when he was very young, and his father was killed by a trusted friend in battle, when Ryllae had barely reached his teenage years. Along with training new recruits for battle, his father also helped keep the village going financially by helping with the trading and selling goods with other villages in the land. Ryllae tried to take over the role his father had played in the village, and was able to somewhat do it for a while. 
But then the war of the humans had come and passed, where Hanseti joined Renatus, trading and selling with other villages wasn't good enough to keep the village going anymore. Knowing that something had to be done, Ryllae decided to pack up and leave his village in order to find new places for the village to trade with.
While looking for a good place for trading for his village, he found himself at Malinor. Not long after arriving, he enlisted in the Sentinels and soon fell for a fellow guard. Both retired to work on their life together after they got married, but it did not work out as they drifted apart. After this, Ryllae returned to his village for some time. Once quite a bit of time had passed, he left his village to start traveling again. The trading in his village went up even to keep it going, but it still wasn't as good as he would like. Currently, he finds himself around Cerulin, working at the farm just south of there.

After the death of his father, Ryllae felt like he had to grow up quickly in order to fill the position Seith held in the village. This caused him to be overly serious, viewing this as him acting more grown up. For a long time, he had a hard time truly relaxing because of this, pressuring himself to keep the "grown up" persona. It took him years to break out of this. Even now, there are times, though it is few and far between, where he falls back into the person if it seems like that would be the best course of action for him.

While archery is Ryllae's best skill, he also has decent sword skills. Much like with archery, Seith approached Ryllae about learning to wield a sword, so that he had skill with more than one weapon. The idea was that he would have a back up should he ever run out of arrows. Also, should he ever be left weaponless and have the only option he had was to use a sword, he would be able to know what he was doing. It wasn't long before the last time Seith had headed off to battle that he had begun teaching Ryllae his way around a sword. After Seith's death, Elessar, another soldier and friend of the family, took over where in teaching Ryllae how to use a sword.

Ryllae has an intense fear of being rendered immobile. When he was very young, he drank a vile of a paralysis. His curiosity got the better of him when he saw the vile on the table. So, when Seith wasn’t looking, he snatched the bottle and downed the liquid, having no idea what it would do.Though he was only unable to move for a short while, it was enough to completely terrify him.
