Elstan is outspoken and intelligent and enjoys moments where he can outsmart his opponents in combat or debate. He has a keep interest in learning; and strived to be among the best of wizards.

Due to his still very young age, Elstan can be hotheaded at times and act rashly, though he is slowly getting better at controlling his fierceness.

In battle he is a violent component; specialising in spells of a fiery nature.

### **Background**

Before meeting the Guardians, Elstan was a resident of Greymarch; raised by two nurturing parents in the wealthier part of the city. Despite this, he never let the wealth he came from dictate his actions. He had been found as a newborn left in the temple to Dylengar, the Flamedancer. The Stonetails had wantred a child and they adopted him; showing him all the love they could give him. The only item with him when he was found was a small dog figurine that he kept a hold of throughout his youth.

As he grew up, he would think about the fact he was found at the temple to Dylengar; and tell himself that Dylnegar may have been his father. He became fascinated by the knowledge of the gods; and started to worship Dylengar regularly at the temple.

He discovered his ability to spellcast at a young age, and had an affinity for spells based around fire; which pleased him and brought him further into his faith towards the Flamedancer. He was quickly taken in by the Bolldew Institute and progressed through education with flying colours.

At some time during his study, he met Idrith Willowwind; a girl a little older than Elstan studying in the School of Enchantment at the Institute. They became quick friends, and soon began a romantic relationship.

In his final year of the Initiate course; he overheard teachers discussing Idrith's recent drop in grades due to her spending a lot of her free time with Elstan instead of getting in extra study. Elstan knew that if Idrith were to progress and become the selected "*Journeyman*" of her course, he would have to let her study. As hard as it was, he ended their relationship and though she was furious; she threw her time into study and finished top of her class.

Elstan too was the selected *Journeyman* of his class; meaning he had the opportunity to progress into his Spellmaster's course. He set off on a *Journeyman's Trial*; to locate an old sanctum to the Flamedancer in Kaiyre, and write an essay on his discoveries while getting there.
