### Name on Discord

Morrigen

Eliah Mooton
was born as the third son of late Lord Jonah Mooton and his wife Carolei Arryn.
Unexpectedly, he has only recently in 130 AC inherited the house from his
brother. Having spent half his life at Oldtown, studying with the Septons first
and the acolytes of the Maesters’ Citadel later, Eliah was prepared for a life
of learning and giving advice to others. Even back home, rumours go the once
sickly child has become one of the best, brightest, most industrious and most
ambitious students of recent years at Oldtown.

Now he has
returned to take over the Lordship that was never meant to be his.

## Appearance and Character

Eliah stands
at 171 cm. Following an accident in his childhood, he had developed deformities of spine, pelvis, shoulders and head for several years
and was known for it in his childhood and youth. Physiotherapy and training
with the best specialists at the Citadel helped him correct the deformity, so
that people who had not seen him during the last years would be astonished
about the degree it has been cured now. Nowadays, Eliah can stand unexpectedly
tall again, but tends to relapse into unhealthy relieving postures if not alert
enough.

He has dark
grey eyes that can show a tint of blue. His hair is a thick bunch of black
curls. His eyebrows are expressive and his gaunt figure is accompanied by a
pale face with a high brow.

Speaking of
his character, he has turned from a sickly and weak child into somebody drawing
great confidence from his cognitive abilities and scientific achievements. He
is an introvert and finds it hard to make friends, especially outside the
social strata of intellectuals. Preparing for a life devoted to knowledge and
service has separated him from the everyday lives of the majority of people. As
is expected from a man of his standing.

## Biography

Born in 105
AC as the third son of Lord Mooton, being an ordinary, yet quick-learning and
curious and sensitive child, Eliah was closest to his twin brother Jonah. He also
was a playmate of Rodrik Arryn.

Aged 8, a
simple spar on horseback with his older brother Roland turned into a riding
accident first, and a disaster with long-term effects later. Having taken
damage to the spine, Eliah remained bed-bound for months. The local maester,
though eager to help, made a few mistakes, and while Eliah survived, his young
body relapsed into relieving postures and deformities started to intensify. While
the first moons went well, the boy finally started showing mental problems from
not being able to play with his siblings and friends anymore as he had been used
to. When weakness lasted and deformities turned more pronounced and other orthopaedic
problems that impeded his movements, things became even worse. While never
assigning guilt to anybody, Eliah relied foremost on his twin brother during
these moons, who made every effort to look after his brother and raise his
spirits. In the background, far from the rooms of the sick child, however, a
rift had started to split the Mooton family, with some of them putting the
blame on else glorified heir Roland.

Just one year
later, Jorah was sent to squire in King’s Landing, and by that time, Eliah had
realized that he would never be able to lead the normal life of a male scion
anymore. He started to withdraw from the other children, but also healthy
people in general, and sought Septons and Maesters as company.

Inspired by
religion, he asked to be sent to become a Septon at age 14, and soon after left
his family, never to return.

The social
environment of the theological seminary was far more to his liking than the
society based on male virtues he had left behind. For the first time in years,
Eliah opened up again, and started to also become interested in the courses of
the acolytes of the Citadel. The boy had finally arrived at a spring able to
satisfy his never-ending thirst for knowledge and cognitive challenges.

Soon, he had
nearly ended all contact with his family, regretting, most of all, that he and
his twin brother had broken up following a superficial argument after Jorah had
come visiting him at age 16.

For several
years, he would please his teachers and awe the other students, passing
theological subjects with ease and forging links for what would have become a
mighty maester’s chain at the same time. He specialized in many subjects, but
would finally come to focus on financial topics with an unexplained interest in
nautical engineering.

It was also
here that the best medics of the Realm knew a cure for his deformities and
continuous physiotherapy and training finally showed effect and much to his
pleasure and relief, Eliah’s deformities started to recede.

Unable to
choose which way to pursue – Septon or Maester – , he left Oldtown’s studies in
123 AC to gain practical knowledge. It was in these years he travelled the
Kingdom and acted as consultant in several keeps. Foremost among them serving
the Tullys at Riverrun and getting to know Aerys Tully.

In 125 AC,
the religious crisis in the Vale saw the Mooton heir Roland killed in an
attempt to protect Jasper Arryn. Eliah did not return to Maidenpool, but
instead realized what he had felt for a long time: That Septonhood was not
meant for him. More than that, the personal events and overall religious
upheaval plunged the youth into a personal spiritual crisis that he has up to
this day not been able to overcome.

Recent Events

Finally,
Eliah returned to the Citadel to carry on with his studies. Carrying on studying
and studying, he kept procrastinating making the decision whether he wanted to
be a maester or not.

The question
was answered to him when in 130 AC the last heir to House Mooton, his brother
Myles, unexpectedly passed away of an illness. It was then that Eliah quickly
returned to a place he had not seen in ten years. To become Lord of Maidenpool.
