★-About Eladarmi:

In the mystical realm of Elanith, where ancient stories intertwine with the echoes of lost civilizations, a figure of both virtue and complexity emerges - Eladarmi Storvald. Born amidst the turbulent times on the now-vanished island of Sardin, Eladarmi's journey led him to the frontier settlement of Icemule Trace, nestled in the northeastern region of western Elanith, under the shadow of the Dragonspine Mountains.

As a devout paladin, Eladarmi's heart beats with a fierce sense of duty to seek redemption for his fallen people, whose homeland was claimed by devastation. Guided by his unwavering faith, he found solace in playing and singing the mandolin, a skill he honed during his solitude, filling the air with haunting melodies that weave tales of sorrow, hope, and courage. The paladin believes that Charl, despite the destruction he caused, offers a path to redemption and renewal. He sees his devotion as a way to help rebuild and restore the honor of his late homeland, guided by Charl's principles.

In the warmth of Icemule Trace, Eladarmi indulges in his love for fine tobacco, savoring the rich aroma that lingers as he ponders the complexities of his destiny. When the moon rises, he raises a glass of top-shelf whiskey, mead, or other fine liquors, toasting to memories both cherished and lost.

Eladarmi's alignment flirts between the realms of chaotic neutral and neutral good, a reflection of the conflicting emotions that stir within him. He loathes the corruption of power, disdainful of the twisted web of politics that can tarnish even the noblest of intentions. Standing firm for what is right, he does so in his unique way, guided by his own moral compass.

Venturing into the unknown lands of Elanith, Eladarmi embraces every experience with the eyes of a wanderer, intrigued and humbled by the strange beauty that surrounds him. As he seeks to right the wrongs of the past and bring light to the shadows, he grapples with the enigmatic dance between darkness and redemption.

Eladarmi Storvald's presence in Icemule Trace, like the stars above the Dragonspine Mountains, brings a unique blend of strength and vulnerability to the frontier settlement. As he carves his path through uncharted territories, his melody of hope resonates through the hearts of those who cross his journey, leaving a legacy that intertwines with the ever-changing tapestry of Elanith's stories.


★-Back Story:

In the ancient realm of Sardin, a land graced by the presence of Storm Giants, a tumultuous era began with the birth of Eladamri Storvald on 02/11/4120. As the son of the mighty Storm Giantkin Jvartor, King of Sardin, and the late Krirym Storvald, Eladamri's arrival was marked by both hope and tragedy. Krirym passed away during childbirth, leaving the young giantkin under the care of Otelik Stormwrack, the trusted hand of the king.

In the following years, the tranquility of Sardin was shattered as smallfolk from the South sailed to the island, seeking to claim its rich lands. The Sardin Giantmen valiantly fought back, wielding steel and thunder against the invaders. But with each passing season, the conflict escalated, and more enemy vessels arrived, threatening the very existence of the Storm Giants.

In a desperate bid to save his son and a few loyal companions, King Jvartor, known as "Stormthunder," ordered Otelik to set sail towards the South with a war-acquisitioned Schooner. He pleaded to the mighty Akati Charl for mercy, but the deity remained relentless, summoning a devastating storm that swallowed the Isle of Sardin and all its inhabitants into the depths of the sea.

Miraculously, Eladamri survived the shipwreck, washed ashore far from his homeland on the distant shores West of Pinefar Trading Post. A Paladin of Voln, on a spiritual journey, discovered the battered and dehydrated giantkin child. Eladamri's babbling tales of a pale young girl with blue eyes, a flowing blue-green gown, and dolphins that saved him, intrigued the Paladin. He believed that Eladamri was chosen to be spared by the divine forces themselves.

Under the Paladin's care, Eladamri spent two decades hidden in the Temple of Voln, honing his skills and training to become a capable warrior. But the grief, anger, and longing for his lost homeland consumed him. For the next seventy years, he roamed the harsh lands North of Aenatumgana Mountain, seeking clues about his past and searching for his lost brethren.

The Windrunner, Jaston, took pity on Eladamri, guiding him with the four winds to the sacred resting place of the Matriarch Meyno. There, Eladamri encountered the Spirit of Khaarne, Meyno's eldest son. The spirit showed him two paths – one of revenge, misery, and solitude, akin to that of his brother Illoke, and another filled with happiness, merriment, and adventure. The decision lay with Eladamri.

Days and nights passed as Eladamri pondered his choices. On the sixth night, he made his decision, choosing the path of Khaarne. As he spoke the words, the ground trembled, and an aquamarine tide pool emerged. Within its depths, he saw visions of his parents' loving gaze and the beauty of his lost homeland, Sardin. Yet, grief overwhelmed him as he witnessed the island's destruction.

However, the tide pool's images then shifted to a new and vibrant skyline, promising a glacial paradise South of Mt. Aebatumgana, near Pinefar. A place where giantkin and smallfolk lived together in harmony, under sparkling skies. A sense of warmth and hope filled Eladamri's heart, sparking a newfound determination to make this place his new home.

With the resolve to embrace this new destiny, Eladamri declared, "A new home," as he embarked on a journey to find the glacial paradise depicted in the tide pool. Thus, the tale of Eladamri Storvald, the Storm Giantkin, continued, filled with adventure, redemption, and the quest for a place where he could finally find peace and purpose.


★-Affectionate Bond:

Eladarmi Storvald found his heart captivated by a figure of grace and allure - a stunningly beautiful Half-Elf hailing from the nomadic lands of Ta'Loenthra.

As a nomadic merchant, she weaves her family's legacy through the trade of tobacco and exquisite wares, traversing the lands and leaving trails of wonder in her wake. In the realm of commerce, her spirit is as free as the winds that carry her from one corner of Elanthia to another.

In the soft whispers of destiny, Eladarmi's path intertwined with her's, and their shared adventures brought them closer with each passing day. Her presence illuminated his life like the stars in the night sky, filling his days with a newfound sense of joy and purpose.

Both kindred spirits, they share an unconventional pattern of sleeping away from the trappings of civilization. The Half-Elf finds solace in her humble tent or upon her sloop, surrounded by the embrace of nature, while Eladarmi seeks refuge within the sanctuary of hollowed trees, finding comfort and serenity in the arms of the wilderness.

Their bond grows stronger with every moment they spend together, as they wander hand in hand, exploring the uncharted territories of Elanthia. In the quiet moments beneath starlit skies, they exchange stories of their pasts, dreams for the future, and the cherished memories they create along their shared journey.

As they traverse the vast expanse of Elanthia, guided by the tapestry of fate, these twin flames find harmony in their love for the untamed world and their yearning for adventure. Bound not by the chains of society but by the echoes of their spirits, they discover the true essence of freedom and connection, as they embrace the boundless beauty of Elanthia together.



★-Meet Eladarmi's Sprite Companion Asrai File:Asrai.png

Asrai, the mischievous sprite who is summoned by Eladarmi's wing-hilted enruned badelaire. As a faithful companion to the paladin Eladarmi, Asrai possesses an array of magical powers that make her an invaluable ally on their adventures. With her short, tufted silver-tipped blonde hair and crystal icy blue eyes, Asrai's appearance is enchanting and ethereal. Her delicate features and stunning beauty captivate those who lay eyes upon her. Wearing a silver headband adorned with a triangular-shaped icy blue diamond, the accessory enhances her magical abilities and adds a touch of elegance to her look.

Though she is a loyal companion to Eladarmi, Asrai can be quite mischievous, with a playful nature that surfaces from time to time. She often surprises others with her spontaneous antics, and her impish behavior adds a lively spirit to their travels.

One of Asrai's most significant abilities is her power to share mana with Eladarmi, bolstering his magical strength and providing him with the energy he needs to carry out his duties as a paladin. Additionally, she can launch plasma bursts at their foes, unleashing powerful and dazzling attacks that can disorient and defeat their enemies.

Furthermore, Asrai is adept at creating a magical barrier around herself and Eladarmi, offering them protection from hostile magic. This barrier serves as a shield against malevolent spells and provides them with a safe space to strategize and regroup in the midst of battle.

While Asrai may exhibit rudeness to strangers at times, her loyalty and devotion to Eladarmi and their shared cause remain unwavering. She holds a special fondness for beautiful women, and her admiration for their allure often leads to interesting and amusing encounters during their quests.

Asrai is an extraordinary and enigmatic sprite whose beauty, mischievousness, and magical prowess make her an integral part of Eladarmi's journey as a paladin. With her by his side, they face the world's challenges with courage and determination, leaving a trail of marvel and enchantment wherever they go.
