Jarikson, Pelinore

Pelinore Jarikson
Cleric of Sehanine Moonbow, level 3
Rogue, level 1

Appearance:
The only color present on this man besides his copper face and bright green eyes is an elven made jeweler's chain of bright silver wrapped about his right wrist. It is attached to an beautifully crafted holy symbol of the Lady of Dreams that rests within Pelinore's palm, excepting when he is engaged in melee combat, when it will then hang from his wrist.

He wears an elven rapier upon his left hip and across his back a short bow is hidden beneath a black cloak. His hood is always pulled up, obscuring his features somewhat and his face is the only flesh that is visible. The rest of his body is covered in black leathers.

Personality:

History: Although the Elven Retreat has all but ended, its consequences linger on. Sehlas Tharethvain and the rest of her wood elf village remained behind in the Elven Court long after the Sun and Moon elves had abandoned it. Eventually, the Drow came. Emerging from the Underdark as maggots spawn from shit they invaded and despoiled the forest, taking over abandoned homes and launching a campaign of terror against the few elves that remained.

After almost thirty years of watching their best warriors fall to Drow attacks it was decided that against the hordes of the Underdark their village was no match. That same day the village was abandoned, and Sehlas' retreat began. Her husband dead, Sehlas' only concern was now for her son, Airion.

Hoping that a portal to Evermeet still resided in Myth Drannor the village made their way there, but not before a roving band of bloodhungry humans prowling for elven treasures fell upon them. Most of the elves died, the remainder chained together in fool hopes of selling them to the Drow.

The Seldarine did not abandon their children, and within hours the bandits were overrun by an elven patrol, killed to the last black-hearted soul. Unfortunately for Sehlas and the other women an hour was more than the humans needed to 'sample their wares' as they called it. Sehlas' rapist was raven haired with a pale complexion and a cruel sneer. He had boasted to her that "You have Jarik's seed, now! Slayer of a hundred men!"

After the patrol purged the forest of those that fled they found Sehlas curled in the nook of a tree and her son, Airion, covered in blood from the shackles he had tried to break at his mother's screams.

There was indeed a portal to Evermeet nestled within the ruins of Myth Drannor, but the tranquility of the elven refuge was of little comfort to Sehlas, save the peace she knew Airion would grow up in. A year later Sehlas gave birth to Jarik's son. For months she had been tormented with choosing whether or not to end the pregnancy, but upon seeing her new son's face her anxiety lessened.

It was not to last, however. Every year Pelinore grew to resemble his father more and more. Sehlas couldn't look upon him without recalling his sire and so she grew distant. Airion had never really accepted his brother, turning all his hate of the dead human onto his spawn.

Isolated even in his own home, Pelinore took to the forest and there learned the language of the Fey. They taught him how to blend into his surroundings, read the mood of others and then flavor his words so that they might suit the hearer's taste. He found faith in Sehanine Moonbow, the elven goddess of death who saw Pelinore not as a half-human, but as an person.

Though he was accepted by the sylvan, Evermeet is the refuge of elves. After twenty years it was calmly explained to Pelinore that his human blood tainted him, and was a danger to the rest of the elves. He was given a decade to prepare himself for the outside world and then leave forever. He was provided with atlases and maps of the outside world and given basic instruction on history.
