Erethis Alentir, Eladrin Warlord

Overview

The Eladrin Warlord is friendly and compassionate once he gets to know you, but a little bit aggressively aloof with strangers. And perhaps a little bossy, but in a well-meaning way, especially in combat.  He was raised to help reclaim his lands, from where his family was forcibly removed, but recently decided that it wasn’t worth it.  He decided to largely leave the Feywild to put his talents to use as an adventurer in the normal world.

Age: 25
Appearance: 5′11″, stern, with a fair complexion, long silver hair, green eyes.

Erethis’s life to this point has been dominated by his family.  His father is the head of the house Pavliss.  A generation ago, the family was forcibly evicted from their lands by thier rivals, the house of <INSERT PROPER NOUN>.  Ever since, Erethis’s father has been obsessed with restoring the family to their lands.  From birth, he trained his son Quintion to one day lead their large family back to their “rightful” place.

Quintion’s childhood in the Feywilds was deeply insular, with little contact with Eladrin outside his family, and even less with any other races.  Most of his time was spent training, and the rest reading historical accounts of great battles.

As he reached adulthood, he began to be sent further out into the world on missions for his family, his father believing that he required first-hand experience to fight and lead effectively.  He also began at this stage to sneak off on his own to explore.  These experiences had a mellowing effect on Quintion, and he began to see that there was more to the world than his family’s quest for revenge.

After months of planning, Quintion finally left his family for good.  He traveled to the mortal realm, to the town of Brindol, far from the prying eyes of his family.  He took the name Erethis, after an Eladrin hero of legend.  He now seeks a life of adventure, to experience what the mortal world he has chosen to live in has to offer, while trying to avoid, or at least delay the inevitable future contact with his family.

Recent Travels/Travails

Having arrived in the town of Brindol, Erethis went to a local tavern, seeking both refreshments, and a chance to help the foreign, but decent people in this new land that he has chosen as his home for the time being.  Uniting to form a makeshift band of adventurers following their defeat of some goblins trying to burn down the bar, Erethis and his companions traveled to the abandoned fortress of Rivenroar, seeking to end the goblin menace, and recover stolen artifacts and rescue kidnapped townsfolk.  (The opportunity to replenish his quickly shrinking purse was also appreciated.)

Desired Equipment

Erethis’s greatest concern equipment-wise at the moment is for his own survivability.  He is frequently one of the first to engage the enemy, and tends to take a pummeling as a result.  Thus a suit of magical hide armor, or some other sorts of magical items that can reduce damage would benefit him greatly.  Secondarily, he eventually hopes to acquire a magical longsword of some sort, to improve his offensive potential.
(Edit: Scratched the shield for now.  Going to experiment with reach weapon, which would render shield unnecessary.)
