Daitheoir Raethalen

**Daitheoir Raethalen** is a saarthenali scholar turned adventurer from The Grand City of Silverspire in Saarthenal Shen, and member of the Heroes of Thosk adventuring party. After years of picking up his family's studies into the arcane crystals around Cato Vilo, Daitheoir has been travelling around Illandor with the intention of uncovering the secrets of the arcane.

## Background

Daitheoir was born in Silverspire, Saarthenal Shen, on 25th Firstseed 29ER. His parents, Aelar and Arara, were scholars, dedicating their lives to the study of the arcane crystals that appear to be the source of the world's magic. Displaying an obvious draw and affinity to magic from a young age, his parents began to tutor him in the ways of magic and academia. By the time he was approaching adulthood, Daitheoir had mastered half a dozen languages, studied at the Academia Magica in Orchidstone, and was beginning to delve into the deeper, more intricate studies and theories surrounding the magic of the world. One day, combined with a sudden wanderlust, he decided to leave on a journey to examine the crystals in the field and search for their source.

## Physical Appearance

Daitheoir is a saarthenali elf of average height, with a slim build, long silver hair, and cobalt blue eyes. He typically wears robes that are designed for practicality when travelling and conducting fieldwork, coloured with deep blues, various shades of grey, and browns. He wears a set of well crafted, sturdy travelling boots and carries a pack of scholars supplies in a leather satchel at his side, whilst several pouches and pockets are located around his waist. Daitheoir carries a spellbook bound in a thick leather with an inbedded magical crystal and adorned with silvery metals holding the crystal and corners in place.

## Personality

Daitheoir is an extremely driven individual that will strive to achieve whatever he puts his mind to and approaches problems with a logical, methodical mindset. Daitheoir enjoys sightseeing and exploring new places as well as experiencing new cultures. He is eager to learn new things for the sake of it and is especially eager to learn more about magical crystals. Despite his drive to learn more Daitheoir can be secretive with what he knows, especially in regards to his personal research. Daitheoir attempts to get along with almost everyone he encounters but can be cold and blunt on occasion and will do his best to avoid shady or unsavoury individuals unless they have something that he cannot get elsewhere.

## Family

The Raethalen family can trace their line back for many generations and over several millennia though it is only for the past four generations that they have been focused on researching the magical crystals of the world. The family maintains good relations with the Academia Magica as well as other prominent academies and scholars, working with them on several projects and even accepts some gifted students for work studies and projects. The current family head is Saeramis Raethalen, Aelar's older sister, and she manages almost all of the family's official affairs.

Daitheoir is on good terms with most members of his family who see him as a gifted academic with a promising future ahead of him. He is friendly with his older cousin despite Deyeril's refusal to engage in the family's research or goals, and has a soft spot on his youngest sister Naeris. His relationship with his other sister Innil, or Ilanis as she now wants to be called, is more complicated due to her seeing Daitheoir as her main opposition to achieving her goal of becoming the next family head. This rivalry is currently entirely one sided, with Daitheoir finding no interest in internal family politics, choosing to dedicate his time and attention to his research instead.
