Aerthalas

A male elf with wild, unkempt silver hair and deep-set, piercing blue eyes that seem to shimmer with madness. He wears tattered robes adorned with arcane symbols, and his skin is pale from years spent in the shadows of the Tidemarked Door. His hands are stained with ink and dirt, and he carries a satchel filled with scrolls and quills. He often appears disheveled, with a look of both brilliance and despair.

Erlin is eccentric and erratic, often lost in thought or muttering to himself. He is passionate about his research but can become agitated if interrupted. His madness manifests in wild gestures and fervent declarations about the door's significance. Despite his instability, he possesses a deep wisdom and insight into the nature of magic and the world around him, often sharing cryptic advice to those who dare approach him.

Erlin Waveseer is an ancient scholar who dedicated his life to unlocking the secrets of the Tidemarked Door, a mysterious portal said to connect to realms beyond comprehension. His obsession has driven him to camp near the door, living in a tattered tent, surrounded by scrolls and tomes filled with arcane knowledge. As the years passed, his relentless pursuit of knowledge has taken a toll on his mind, leading him to madness. He often speaks to himself and the spirits he believes guard the door, convinced that he is on the brink of a great discovery that will restore harmony to Aerthalas.
