Ithilwen is an elderly elf with timeless grace, her long, flowing grey hair woven with tiny blossoms and trailing moss. Her deep blue eyes hold a serene, almost oceanic calm, reflecting centuries of knowledge and memory. She wears a robe of natural fibers, adorned with leaves that never wither and subtle silver embroidery in the shape of ancient elven glyphs. Her wooden staff, topped with a living sprig of moonfern, pulses softly with green light in time with her breath. Though age has slowed her step, she carries herself with quiet dignity.

Ithilwen is nurturing, deeply empathetic, and profoundly connected to the natural world. She views every living thing as part of a great tapestry—plants, beasts, people, and spirits all woven together by time and intention. She encourages introspection, peace, and the sharing of stories, believing that history spoken aloud has the power to shape the future. Though soft-spoken, her words carry weight, and she rarely needs to speak more than once.

Born during a time when Lelone had not yet vanished from the eyes of the world, Ithilwen grew up amidst the shaping of elven enchantments and the founding of the city’s oldest rituals. Her path led her into the Circle of Dreams, where she learned to mend both spirit and forest with the gentle magic of memory and rest. As the centuries passed, Ithilwen became the keeper of Lelone’s oral tradition, a living library of lore and ancestral wisdom. Partner to Archdruid Elandor Leafstride, she serves as the heart to his guiding hand, often the voice that calms when tempers rise, or the presence that heals when grief lingers too long.
