Aethelgard

A male desert elf with dark skin and long, flowing brown hair, Zariel wears a hooded cloak that blends with the sandy hues of the desert. His piercing amber eyes scan the crowd, reflecting a keen intelligence and curiosity. He leans casually against one of the grand columns of the Gates of the Sun, his posture relaxed yet alert, ready to engage with anyone who approaches.

Zariel is observant and contemplative, often preferring to listen rather than speak. He has a dry sense of humor and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world around him. While he can be reserved, he is fiercely protective of those he cares about and will not hesitate to act when necessary. He speaks with a soft, melodic tone, often laced with wisdom beyond his years.

Zariel grew up in the arid deserts of Aethelgard, where he learned the ways of survival and the secrets of the sands. As a desert elf, he has always felt a deep connection to the land and its ancient magic. He often finds himself wandering the bustling markets and vibrant gatherings, seeking knowledge and stories from travelers. Despite his calm demeanor, he harbors a fierce loyalty to his kin and a desire to protect the fragile balance of nature in his homeland.
