Named Seh'Spar Ariliaeden at birth (Soft'fist Mistress-of-silver-autumn) Her family always called her ErN'aer Poldora (One without strenght) Her village called her either Aneunyiraw ed Kuruni (touched by the curse) or Nost en' Hrive (Born of Winter) Before you stands the frailest sickly looking wood elf you have ever seen. She appears frail and weak even by elven standards let alone the standards of the reclusive wood elves. She is a bookish looking elf dressed in such a fashion its hard to place a profession to her for she appears to be a wizard but does not wear the robes or perhaps a cleric but lacks a clerics armor or weapons though you can see the mark of Ilsare upon the side of her neck. She carries a backpack bulging with books and scrolls, though you also notice if you look closly that the top of her staff appears to house a flute. Role play to find out more, read on if truly curious. It's the basis of what you will get in most situations for a introduction. You want to know about history, lost civilizations, and other facinating topics? Well, let me interduce myself, I'm ErN'aer, a wood elf and self-proclaimed Lore master. I guess I've been poring over old tomes, exploring ancient ruins, and searching libraries for the past 100 years or so. Did you know that Sinthar Bloodstone began his attempt to return to Layonara about ten years after being banished? Humans were scarse back then and elves ruled much of the land. THat must have been a beautiful time! Then there came the great race wars, when all races rose up in anger. But I forget myself. You want to know about me and not the past. Well I'm called a recluse by most of the villagers around Elmwind tower. This is actually far from the truth, I love people, all people. I love to study about their past history in an attempt to understand them better then they understand themselves. Then I try to teach them about their past and educate them so they won't commit the mistakes of their forefathers all over again. I guess I do seem a bit odd to the average soul, seeing as how I'm always poking around cemeteries, old churches, ruins, and libraries. Most people think I'm a cleric or simple hermit, and their are those that think I'm a sage or wizard. It is true I can speak over half a dozen languages, but I'm just a Lore master, that's all. Remeber to study your past; it can be the most powerful tool you have. (rewritten based on the lore master section of the complete Bards Hand book by Blake Mobley TSR 1994)
