This creature is pleasing to look at - an elven maiden, you realise. She must be, with her milk-pale skin, slender shape and pointed ears. The elven people are often called fair, and perhaps that is because of wanderers like this one; alluring in her alien way.
She seems well-aware of the long look you may give her, smiling ever-so-slightly with her lips, or just with her warm blue eyes.
Likely she is a moon elf - a Teu'Tel'Quess.

When she speaks it is clear her voice is meant for melody: her speech is lilting and accented but articulated. Yet for all the friendliness she may or may not offer, her thoughts seem always in part away from you.

Her attire and equipment are adorned in the styles of elvenkind, with a few trinkets and provisions bought from under human craftsmen's hands. Perhaps to be expected is the sight of a bow and thin blade's scabbard on her person; travelling light but ready.

Frequent Haunts:
As of early 1363 DR, the elf has been seen in the evenings in the human settlement of Sarshel, in its very human Crowning Glory Inn. Here she has been said to sing and play the harp, her music mystical, her voice gentle, complementing or countering the rich baritones of Marcellus, the Harp of Cimbar with whom she has been known to perform duets. Even on her own she still sings human songs for her human audience, some originating from the Dalelands, but the songs are old; from fifty to a hundred years ago, and they are contemplative; rarely jovial. It is rare when she directly responds to requests, aloof and ghost-like as she is.
She sometimes haunts the Heltharn theatre, also located in Sarshel, but is just as often simply absent from the city... or at least from prying eyes.

Rumours:
They say the elf sings at the inn in order to attract a man worthy to be her groom, whom she'll bring back with her to mythical elven lands. No doubt that is why many of her songs are of yearning love, dreams or homesickness.

Some say she has found her desired suitor already, in fact on her first day's song, for more often than not she performs together with the same man that she performed that first night: Marcellus, Harp of Cimbar at the Crowning Glory Inn - a handsome and upbeat Chessentan. Perhaps she has not yet left the city with him in order to test and court the man.

A few travellers might claim that the elven maiden's music has enslaved birds to obey her.



And of her life...
