Ilir stands with the quiet composure of one who prefers to listen and observe rather than draw attention. He has dark olive-toned skin and striking blue-green turquoise eyes that hold an intensity which seems to weigh every word before it is spoken. A shock of raven-black hair, cut close, adds to his purposeful appearance, unmarred by vanity.
His armor, more befitting of a common soldier than a noble lord, focusing on form and function over elegance, fits precisely over dark green quilted cloth and leather. His appearance seems to mimic the man himself: simple and unadorned. A curved hornblade (i.e., a scimitar) and a heavy, oaken shield are slung across his back.
Psychological Description:
Ilir is quiet and reserved in his bearing, as if measuring the world moment by moment. Preferring to listen, when he speaks his words are usually sparing and direct. His voice is low and even, with the occasional note of dry humor. He is open-minded and greets those of (almost) any race or background with a soft smile, though his time spent wandering before coming to the Sword Coast left him slower to trust. Still, to those he counts as friends, he is unwaveringly loyal and dependable.
Moniker:
“Leafwarden of the Green Triad” is a reflection of his duties: he is not a prophet or a preacher, but a vigilant guardian of the Forest and devoted member of the greenleaf priesthood.
Religious Views:
Ilir follows the Green Triad, honoring Silvanus, Mielikki, and Eldath, but it is Silvanus, the leader and father-figure of this verdant triumvirate, whom he reveres as his patron. From Silvanus, Ilir holds the Balance of the cycle of life and death as sacred. While he accepts that growth, decay, life, and death all have their place in the world, his Neutral Good alignment leads him to view the ambitions of Evil as a threat to the balance Silvanus’ preaches and the sacred cycle itself.
From Mielikki, Ilir holds a deep reverence for freedom. To him, the true Balance sought by Silvanus is achieved not through control, but through freedom of will, of movement, and of spirit. As a quiet tribute to his special devotion to Mielikki, Ilir wields a hornblade, also known as a scimitar, the goddess’s favored weapon.
From Eldath, Ilir embraces patience and calm in his pursuit of Balance. He strives to understand the wider context before acting, recalling a saying often repeated during his youth: “One must not lose sight of the Forest by staring at a single tree.” This perspective guides him to rely on observation and redirection before turning to violence, relying on Eldath’s peace and stillness to quiet the mind and discern the greater picture.

Relics & Keepsakes
Cenkrad’s Favor (Heavy Shield - Heirloom): This deep green heavy shield, marked with the subtle embossed outline of an oakleaf, was presented to Ilir by the leader of the Emerald Knights, Captain-General Cenkrad, on the morning he departed Pilgrim’s Rest. Forged by the order’s greatest smith, it bears the craftsmanship typical of the Emerald Knights: simple, but reliable, and serviceable.
Petrified Oakleaf Holy Symbol (DMFI Created): A small, petrified oak leaf with a hollow core containing a mixture of tears from a celestial charger and water from an Eldathyn grove. This divine token, given to Ilir by Hawk of the Lady Patricia Mossward during his Ordination into the greenleaf priesthood, symbolizes his faith and devotion to the verdant triumvirate. Ilir uses the token as his holy symbol, often hanging from his belt within quick reach.
Leeta’s Lucky Coin (Amulet - DM Faith Reward): This amulet sports a golden coin on the chain. Handed out by the High Lady Priestess of Tymora Leeta on Nightal 6, 1361 DR, it is blessed to protect the wearer and sport his luck, when things are dire. Further, just knowingly wearing this amulet provides confidence, that luck never leaves ones.
