The Tale of Elrith Pelreemr son of none.
In the back alley of the slums of Alkhazar it was the beginning of the end for one life but the start of a of a new one. It was the wet season and the fiercest storm of that year. The rain had caused the usually hard dirt ground, to become muddy and small rivers had started flowing through the streets. Three Elven women all around the age of 100, were huddled in an alcove of the alley, a leather sheet the only thing seperating them from the harsh elements.
9 months ago Terianni was working her shift. She remembered when her employer had told her she would make a fortune and that she would be loved by many. What her employer failed to mention was the nature of that love. The first night, Terianni was just told to wait in a room, when a man walked in with a devilish and greedy grin. Terianni tried desperately to stop the events that would follow. After that night she found herself reclusive and alienated towards everyone. A few of her fellow "coworkers" gave her some of an powderised herb they told her that it would ease her mind. Quickly after being "hired" Terianni found herself trapped in web where she was dependent on her employer for this powdered herb. She would continue the cycle of buying the herb with whatever income she had, until a priestess from the church had pitty on her and helped wean her off of the drug. When she finally was clean the Priestess was going to help her find an honest job. From that point her life took a turn when she found out she was with child. Determined to raise the child and unable to find anyone who would hire her Terianni went back to the life she had just so recently gotten free from. She promised the Priestess she would stay away from the herb.
Lightning filled the streets, Terianni was finally giving birth.
The priestess had brought a midwife along to assist her. After what seemed like an endless amount of time the baby boy was in Terianni's arms and everything in that split moment of time was perfect.
Fast forward a bit.
Terianni has caught a terminal sickness from her career as a Lady of the Evening.
"Please, im begging you help me!" Terianni would cry this out but to no avail. Every doctor she went to refused to help her because of her reputation; a few of them didn't even let her in the building.
She imagined that if the Priestess was still alive that she would help her.
Elrith understood all of this, he knew why his mother was refused treatment and he knew the sacrifices that his mother had made for him.
"I have to make it up to her." He wound up doing the only thing he knew how to, steal. Learning quickly Elrith would envision highways along the rooftops he learned how to break his falls, and he learned where the wealthy citizens lived. Elrith had always been agile, his mother told him it was because if his wood elf heritage; he wanted to see the wood elfs one day. Selling all of what he "obtained" Elrith raised a small fortune, and the citizens all knew the rumours of the boy on the rooftops. Still he found trouble locating a doctor to help her. 3 months have passed and his mother's sickness has grown to near untreatable conditions. As she lay in her bed, she slowly wheazed out these words to Elrith, "My son, you have your whole life ahead of you, do not go wasting it on me. For my time left on the world is short but i have one last gift for you." She unwrapped a sheet of linen showcasing one of the most beautiful creations elrith had laid eyes on. An elven bow the wood felt alive in his hands he could feel the power of nature coursing through the fibers. "learn fast how to use it, for it will save your life a multitude of times." After telling her son that she loved him, she told him to go to bed he kissed his mother on the forehead and thanked her for everything that she had done for him. In the morning she was dead. Elrith knew this would happen, he carried her outside of the city and found the nearest forest, digging her a grave about 4 feet deep he lowered her inside. With the money he made he was able to buy her a gravestone, " here lies Terianni, who lived a troubled life yet was never absent of love."
With the spare minas Elrith had he bought himself a cloak and a few arrows. Leaving the City behind he head out for Malinor
