Akenna Laeraun is an half-elf from the Wyrdeep Forest. The daughter of Rýnor Laeraun Nalfein and Gardenia of the Wyrdeep. She learned magic and other skills under the tutelage of her grandmother, Essylda Hithneth of the Wyrdeep.

Early Years

Akenna was the only daughter of Gardenia of the Wyrdeep and Rýnor Laeraun Nalfein. She often refers to her mother and grandmother as “Wyrdeep Folk”. Gardenia died shortly after giving birth to Akenna. This left Akenna’s family settlement in the Wyrdeep in peril as their mixture of both fey and elves and half-elves was not well received by other opposing fey factions who did not believe in harmonious relations with the races that originated outside of the forest. There were also incursions from trolls and ogres. Gardenia and Hithneth were staunch and powerful protectors of the settlement, having been well seasoned in protecting the forest against the vicious movements against the forest by the New Empire Turmazyr.

Her grandmother felt that with Gardenia gone, Akenna would have to take up her position as a protector. Essylda Hithneth had hoped that Akenna would be as powerful as Gardenia had been.

Akenna’s lessons consisted of learning Elven, Kanalaan, and Fey (spoken and written). She excelled in elemental magic. Though she learned the basics and application of Fey magic, she struggled with more elaborate applications of the magic. This spurred her grandmother and the other Essylda to resort to drastic measures to make Akenna more receptive to it.

These drastic applications not only made Akenna distance herself from her grandmother but also came under objection by her father Rýnor. For a time, he took over lessons, teaching Akenna how to move through the forest undetected, how to track, and how to slip through the forest unseen. She would help him trap and skin and at night he would tell teach her the histories of the Elven Houses and her Nalfein familial history.

Bourth

Around 5082 Akenna met a man named Daerd Briqunn during a trip to market with her father to sell furs. The two soon fell in love and eloped against the expressed wishes of Akenna’s father and especially her grandmother, the Essylda. This lead to her grandmother not speaking to Akenna for over thirty years. Akenna and Daerd were farmers in a village that bordered the Wyrdeep. Despite many problems, they encountered with the locals. Akenna gave up her practice of magic as she was not registered with the Hall of Mages. They lived relatively peaceful lives until the year of 5112 when Daerd passed away. Being Hathyln and having no claim to their land, Akenna went back to her settlement in the Wyrdeep.

Mourning

From 5112 to 5118 Akenna lived at the settlement in the Wyrdeep. Here she helped her father with training others in the settlement how to trap. She slowly began to take up magic once more. During this time Akenna tried to reconcile with her grandmother, but the effort was fruitless. Before long, Akenna decided to leave the Wyrdeep and expand her training in the elements. Due to the restrictions of the Hall of Mages inside the empire, she decided to go to the Frontier to practice and learn.
