Haea

Teliora

Spends a good chunk of her life in the monastery in the Kettle mountains as some mage and scholar

Older cousin of Adelheid, often sends her letters when Adelheid grows up in the Tirin Abbey and worries a lot about her.

Follows the Nehrimese mages to Enderal in the Sun Temple, meets Lexil there and works with him.

Lost focus and has a consensual workplace relationship with him

Accidentally adopts Tharael. He does not like her consensual workplace relationship with Lexil.

Accidentally adopts Rynéus. Threw his black stone in the ocean so that they'd all be away from that bad energy

Accidentally stops the cleansing because of that. No stone > no beacon lighting tool > things with Nehrim calm because of an agreement > happy ending???

Greying blonde hair, green eyes. 180cm, early to mid 50s, spellcaster/mage

------

Aguacate

Roommates with Tharaêl (they fight about who gets the downstairs bedroom so they both share a bed)

Thinks that people are straight OR gay. Jespar had to teach her about bisexuality

Offered a 12kg wheel of cheese to Calia to seduce her (it did not work)

Hates Tealor. Called him 'dad' once and almost fled the country because of it

Worked at some stables in Nehrim before leaving for Enderal, she is a big fan of horsies 👍

Carries around Sirius' skull and talks to it for advice (he does not reply) (it's not Sirius' skull)

Likes Kurmai and getting him eggs. She even gives him cheese for an omelet because she doesn't remember that he needs eggs for a breeding programme and not a delicious brunch

When I created the Marksman, a lot of his abilities were kinda jokes. His ability to "become presenceless" (functionally but not literally invisible) was me poking fun of how stealth seems to work when you're a high level. However, very recently when I was researching Enderal's affinities (for werewolf reasons) I took a gander at the Psionics tree... And right there, exactly as I've always described his stealth trick: Psionic Veil. Now, as far as the Marksman's concerned, he's not a mage and doesn't have an ounce of mana in him (the Ghost-Step and his trick of presencelessness being just Strange Things People Can Do Sometimes). He also thinks, since he's not a mage, that he never needs to worry about Ambrosia... Man's running a 5-20% Arcane Fever at all times :/ He's also not very well-versed in magical knowledge, categorising it as "wizard nonsense" and ignoring it by-and-large. The only time he'd ever heard of Psionics was after the Father implanted the dream in his mind... Which gave him a very disparaging view of the school. As far as he's concerned, the Father was evil, Psionics is evil, and so is anyone who uses it. One of the few things that stops the Marksman turning a blade on himself is his firmly held belief that despite all he's done, he's not crossed the point of no return: He isn't evil. ...Thank you for lying to him, Rory.

Speaking of. Bonus Rory! Because I like him 🤗
