Orelwen Greyvael is a handmaiden to the Argent Mirror. Her service to the Peacock Throne began on Lormesta 26, 5119. She fell ill after touching a painting made with poisonous compounds at the Valley of Gold later that year, but has since recovered. She is a skilled dancer who has expressed her appreciation for both elven men and cheesecake, although not necessarily in that order of preference.

The poisoner, Paerys Velethuil, was found guilty of assault against her, and also attempted murder of the Argent Mirror. At Paerys's execution, Orelwen became quite distressed, and shouted for fiercer punishment of her assailant due to the harm done to herself - despite clear finality in the punishment exacted.

In early Fashanos 5123, Orelwen attended a farewell ball organized for emissaries who had been visiting Ta'Illistim. Lady Kasendra Malwind was found dead toward the end of the ball. An Inquisition into Kasendra's death began, where dignitaries and other individuals who attended the ball were questioned. Orelwen was effectively placed under house arrest, along with the other emissaries. Orelwen was among those who were interviewed as part of the Inquisition in Charlatos 5123.

Description

You see Lady Orelwen Greyvael the Handmaiden to the Argent Mirror.
She appears to be an Illistim Elf.
She is moderately tall and has a balletic figure.  She appears to be very young.  She has vibrant indigo-wreathed amaranthine eyes and radiant gardenia white skin.  She has waist-length, thick argent white hair wound into a bun atop her head and accented by an iridescent leaf-shaped glass hair ornament placed neatly above her ear.  She has a slender face, a petite button nose and a small beauty mark just above her petal-shaped lips.  Small, brown discolored splotches mar the skin along her jawline and neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a hammered tile vaalin choker, a corset formed of silver wire twisted into vines terminating in sculpted roses over a lustrous dark sapphire blue velvet cotehardie trailing silver-hemmed sleeves split above the elbow with a deep black satin chemise suffused in iridescent navy hues underneath, a simple white satin reticule, and some heelless sapphire silk shoes propped on thick blackwood platforms carved in floral patterns.
