Aerthalas

An elderly male elf with long, silver hair and piercing green eyes. He wears a tattered robe adorned with intricate runes and carries a staff topped with a crystal that glows faintly. His skin is weathered from years spent outdoors, and he has a collection of scrolls and books strapped to his back.

Veylar is deeply introspective and wise, often speaking in riddles or quoting ancient texts. He is passionate about history and can become animated when discussing his findings. However, his obsession can make him seem eccentric or aloof to those who do not share his interests. He is kind-hearted and willing to share his knowledge with those who seek it, but he can be dismissive of those who do not respect the past.

Master Veylar has dedicated his life to the study of ancient runes and the history of Aerthalas. For decades, he has camped at the Pillars of the First Echo, where he claims to hear the whispers of forgotten names carried by the wind. His obsession with the past has made him a recluse, often lost in thought or scribbling notes in his weathered tome. He believes that the spirits of nature are trying to communicate with him, revealing secrets of a time when harmony reigned in the world.
