Appearance: Ellurin is the son of the wood elf, Amorra Ara'dhel, and the sun elf, Arantiel Durothil. He is tall, as the Sun elves are wont to be, with an almost bronze colored skin. He has golden blonde hair and his eyes are emerald green. He is strong of build, but not overly so, and in his hair he wears green feathers, the symbol of his Arcane brotherhood. He dresses in finely crafted green leather armor with intricately carved elven runes laced in white. His cloak is sea blue with the symbol of House Ara'dhel woven in silver into the fabric. His cloak was given to him by his mother before she died. Strapped to the thigh of his left leg is his long knife Angrist. On his back are two short swords and two quivers of arrows thatched with green and red feathers. His elven longbow, Ardanea, he always carries with him. He is often seen with a white wolf traveling at his side, whom he calls Ardan.
Personality: Ellurin is a quiet leader. He has a sharp mind and a quick wit, but he never uses them to argue. He is calm and patient, but he has a hatred of the unjust and will not stand by idly and allow the weak to be taken advantage of. He has a hatred of the drow, especially due to his past, but is not bent on vengeance.
Background: Ellurin was born of two great Houses of the Elves. The great Sun Elf House Durothil, and the great Wood Elf House Ara'dhel. His father, an estranged Sun elf from House Durothil left Evermeet nearly 300 years before the birth of Ellurin. He travelled all across Faerun seeking artifacts of the Sun Elves from ancient, historical places of Cormanthor such as Myth Drannor, Semberholme and the Elven Court. For many years he tested fate but never met his death through fortune or skill. Already at an advanced age, his father, Arantiel of House Durothil, met and wed his mother, Amorra of the Ara'dhel's, while traveling in the High Forest, and years later she gave birth to their first child, Ellurin. They dwelt in the High Forest in relative peace, and over the years she would give birth to six more children before she would die of an unknown cause. After the death of Amorra, Arantiel took his children and returned to Evermeet. There he would raise them under the care and instruction of House Durothil masters. Ellurin learned the art of song, but found himself drawn to the forests of Evermeet which reminded him of his home in the High Forest. He became an accomplished ranger and archer, and he was known to walk in the forests and glades of Evermeet and sing to Sehanine, goddess of the moon, for days at a time.
News of the death of the parents of Elohir and Faerynn Ara'dhel reached Evermeet and the ears of Arantiel, of which his wife Amorra was the sister of the father of Elohir and Faerynn. Ellurin grieved for Elohir and Faerynn, as he knew them well and had at times hunted with Elohir. But when the news of the betrayal and death of Faerynn reached his ears, he knew that he needed to leave Evermeet and seek out his friend and cousin, Elohir. And so it is now, that Ellurin Ara'dhel finds himself in the Sword Coast seeking his mother's brother-son, Elohir Ara'dhel.
For most of his life, Ellurin has been drawn to Archery and the Arcane, and so it is natural for him to follow the path of the Arcane Archer. But it has been only recently that he has felt a connection with the elemental plane of air, though he knows not how this has come to be. There are times now when he draws back an arrow to let it fly, that the arrow will glow blue or arc slightly with crackling energy. He has now decided to attempt to channel this energy further and see where it leads him.
Goals: First and foremost Ellurin is concerned about the protection of elven kind. To accomplish this he has focused all his efforts to become an exceptional archer. He is not overly confident or delusional in thinking he is or will be the greatest archer of all time. However, he does understand that he only needs to be better than the guy or creature he is currently fighting. To that end, and as a Sun elf wholly devoted to the Seldarine, Ellurin realizes that he can gain the most in blending the art of song, arcane power and archery into a formidable skill.
Secondly, he is mezmerized by nature, forests and the moon. His love and protection of nature is only second to elven kind and the Seldarine. His skills as a Ranger well developed.
Possible Plot-hook ideas and Misc Facts: Anything to do with elves, Doron Amar, the Elder Circle, etc.
