'''Cylnthia Kythnis''' is an [[Ardenai]] [[Elf]] [[Paladin]], who considers [[Ta'Ardenai]] and [[House Sylvanfair]] home; she is half Ardenai, one quarter Vaalorian, and one quarter Nalfein.
Cylnthia is normally a quiet person. She can normally be found sitting in the Commons straightening out the bench and crate, in the Sanctuary, or at a table checking her eyelids for holes.


She is a member<!--, and the Rose Guardian,--> of House Sylvanfair, as well as being a [[Nalfein Black Rose Deck|Seer]] of the Order of the Sphere and Scythe, and member of the Ilyan Syndicate.
Cylnthia started her adventuring career out as a warrior and honoring [[Imaera]] (as most Ardenai Elves are wont to do). After many trainings and remembering her early years of life in a large Ardenai socio-political-militaristic training camp, Cylnthia's heart started to change. One evening, after a particularly nasty encounter with what could only be described as an incinerator trap and absolutely no empaths in site, Cylnthia learned of [[Kuon]] from His local cleric Urisk. Cylnthia was always partial to carrying around and freely using [[herbs]] as needed (the life of a warrior can be very harsh at times), so learning about Kuon and what He stood for (and ultimately ''grew'') shocked Cylnthia. Why had she not heard of Him before? She inquired more, but her heart knew... Imaera was the Mother, but Kuon: He was the One - her Patron. The One she would ultimately serve.


Cylnthia is also a crafter who specializes in [[Knitting needles|knitting]] and [[Fletching|fletching]], and also dabbles in [[Origami|origami]].
Three and a half years into her adventuring, Cylnthia's life changed. She'd been serving Kuon as His warrior for this long and He'd taken notice. On Lornon's Eve (of all days) 5107, Kuon called Cylnthia on a slightly different mission: to be His Paladin. Cylnthia didn't have to think long about this: she knew fairly instantly that this would be a major change for the better for her. Cylnthia, now Kuon's Paladin, is able to do things she wasn't able to do as a warrior: mainly rescuing people from the Carrack and Oteska's.
<!--[[Weaving]], [[Papermaker|papermaking]], & [[Ribbonator 2000|ribbon making]] also have small parts.-->

Cylnthia started her adventuring career as a [[bard]], but shortly there-after left the barding world to be a [[warrior]]. She was later called by [[Kuon]] to be one of his paladins on [[Lornon's Eve]] of 5107. She was convinced to return to [[Imaera]]'s fold during the Ebon Gate festivities on Caligos Isle in Jastatos of 5121.

Cylnthia currently splits residency between Ta'Illistim and River's Rest. She enjoys providing paladin services, including providing spells from the [[Minor Spiritual]] or [[Paladin Base|Paladin]] circles, rescuing people from places she can easily reach, or [[Foraging|forage]] for things.

Cylnthia visited her trainer for the one-hundreth, and final, time, on [[Elanthian calendar|Jastatos]] 2, 5118.

As of Imaerasta of 5119, Cylnthia has one [[Tinagra (prime)|daughter]].

In Imaerasta of 5120, Cylnthia made good on a family vow when she finally married her long betrothed, [[Ciath (prime)|Ciath]]; in Lumnae of 5122, they hosted a vow renewal shindig.

Cylnthia's current favorite pasttimes includes hunting [[Bandit|bandits]], [[Knitting needles|knitting]], and sailing the [[Open Sea Adventures|open seas]] on her brigantine, the Somewhat Unsinkable.
