-------------- Tales of Syvasgaard - Irendiel

Atop Syvasmyr there are many great and legendary figures. President Wellington was made famous by an idealized picture printed in the Carellonian Times showing Syvasgaard's last stand against Mordai. Malakai Grayves has played the opening music for the Kings Tournament for the last four years. Serenity, aka Serena Knight, has taken over as the head of the Kar'Thane order's remote facilities. Even the often maligned Chaos Mage, Felicity Hornung, lives in the caves behind the mountain,... where her occasional chaos accidents will have less effect on the populace. None of them have been particularly shy about garnering fame or taking a bow or three. All except one. Perhaps the one thing that inflates her legend more than her accomplishments is her lack of interest in seeking public audience.

Born Meriadne Kelowitz, last of four children of the off-worlder scientist James Kelowitz, and the Sylvisan rogue, Brandy Gwythanon, she grew up as a traveler, moving back and forth between Crystallis and the major cities of the world. She had experienced her share of childhood and youthful indiscretions, resulting in her familiarity with the roguish arts. However, she soon saw the true calling of her heart, service as a priestess of Corellon. She became known as a diplomat, working for various ADL interests. But that ended when she got the opportunity to join the Silver Gryphon Legacy. She was one of the first, along with Sable, Prince Drammis Wellington, and Felicity. It was she who landed the killing blow against Vlorstenthane, the Violet Dragon King of Friggia, freeing the Friggian elves from centuries of slavery and death. Her sword, the Light of Corellon, grew in power as she, herself poured her soul and blood into it. It has brought many undead and demons to their ultimate fate.

When Syvasgaard became a free state and Drammis the first President of the Western Alliance, she stayed, building a small place of her own in the woods north of the Syvasgaard - Kar'Dhaer road. With the defeat of the Shadow Conspiracy in Foxmoor, many refugees came to Syvasgaard and it was Meriadne who ministered to them. It was not long before even more came to hear the words of hope, of courage and tenacity in the face of overwhelming odds, of success and freedom won at the point of a sword, but always tempered by compassion for the unfortunate and the oppressed. Soon, her title became her name, and none remembered little Meriadne Kelowitz that used to steal apples from the trees in the Crystal Tower gardens, and throw them at her brothers.

She became Irendiel, the Light of Corellon, the bridge between the elven world and the other races, defender of elven might, power and faith. You can go to Ellindimyr, the growing elven tree village built just northwest of here. But do not expect to see her soon, and do not bow and scrape when you meet her. She does not stand on ceremony, and has little use for those who do.
