  1. Nilin

    Born a year into the Atlas Coalition War, sheltered beneath the boughs of Caras Eldar, Nilin Valdorei spent her early years without the influence of her father, who was away fighting in the war even after returning, their relationship was distant as best. Both parents did their upmost to protect Nilin from the horrors of war and misfortune and provided her with anything she could need, living a comfortable but not lavish life. Nilin grew to be rather naive and unaccustomed to the reality of the world and while in her late 40s, still relatively young for an elf, she and her family migrated to Arcas and the wood elf home of Irrinor. The shelter of her parents turned more cage-like as Nilin aged, through her limited brushes with suffering or discontent, and the snippets of news during the War of Two Emperors from the neighbouring Princedom of Fenn, Nilin was forced to consider the world beyond her sanctuary. In a moment of foolhardiness, the young elf ventured outside her home and began exploring the surrounding forests and fields. The expedition was short-lived as a sudden downpour halted her progress as she was not used to substantial rainfall, being sheltered under large tree canopies for most of her life. Nilin took cover in a nearby cave and in her haste to escape her home, she neglected to bring a light source, so she sat damp and terrified in the dark cave until the rain subsided, then attempted to make her way home. A passing trader found her shaking by the side of the road and brought her back to Irrinor. Now knowing she was ill-suited to help anyone in her current state, Nilin set about preparing herself to one day venture further afield into Arcas. She took up archery, though wooden targets have not prepared her for real combat. She also spent time studying any and all small snippets of worldly information she could obtain from befriending merchants and inn keepers. While this was supposed to be secret and beyond her parents’ watch, it didn’t take them long to work out what Nilin was up to during her long nights out of the house. They realised they couldn’t protect her forever, and it was better for her to be prepared and supported in her goal. Her parents provided her with books and equipment and her father gave very basic training with a short sword as well as the basics of wilderness survival, bringing the family closer together. Now in her mid 80s while still limited in her knowledge, Nilin was considerably more prepared for the outside world. The cold damp walls of that cave still haunted her, serving as a reminder to her helplessness. Nilin gave heartfelt thanks to her parents while weighed with sudden apprehension, the whole of Arcas looming ahead of her. She set out to learn everything she could from the other races, and to have the wisdom and courage to find her place in this world, and protect it.
