House Lucaryn

**Aerie Goldleaf** is generally regarded as the most powerful sorceress in the Empire, if not the world. While people talk of her powerful magics, many who have met her doubt these claims, seeing very little of her magic, if any.

## Appearance

Aerie is a young high elf, and is quite stereotypical for her race with golden hair and blue eyes. Behind her hair, on the back of her neck lies several scars that stretch down her back, though she does her best to hide them.

Her clothing is often comfortable, as she does not mix in with other ladies of her station, choosing to keep herself in her study unlocking more and more magical mysteries rather than keeping up with fashion.

## Personality

Aerie is not a very sociable person, preferring to be experimenting with magic over attending a party. Most that meet her say that she is kind and gentle, but those that have seen her during a crisis know that she can be determined, even to the point of stubbornness.

## Relationships

### The Orphans of Fate

#### Grum

"*His magic ability fascinates me, but what I truly want to know about is his fate. And his potential? Just how powerful can he, and by extension the others, become?*"
―Aerie about Grum.
#### Mickey Kriemhild

"*I think I remember he fixed Kal's sword during the war. That's certainly an impressive feat; not even Jaelle could figure that out. I guess she's not a proper blacksmith like he is. He's a good person, inside. I know it.*"
―Aerie about Mickey.
#### Nigel DeRosa

"*An old friend, and it feels like he may have put his racism behind him a bit. A bit. He helped us early in the civil war and has sound tactical judgement. He'd support any just cause with passion. However, I cannot ignore the fact that he condemned millions of souls to die. There must have been another way, a better way.*"
―Aerie about Nigel.
#### Wander

"*She may seem all rough and the outside, but I think she has a heart of gold. She certainly keeps Rena's interests in mind if she can. I wish Kal would stop his whole "intimidating" joke around her. The poor girl goes so pale whenever he's around. Though it seems he thinks that he's been far too committed to the bit to stop now...*"
―Aerie about Wander.
### Family

#### Kalruhan Lucaryn

"*He needs to relax. He's always got something on his mind, something that needs doing. But he won't talk to me about it.*"
―Aerie about Kalruhan.
#### Alarin Goldleaf

"*I should have gone. I shouldn't have let him go alone. I shouldn't...*"
―Aerie to Kalruhan after Alarin's death.
#### Rena Lucaryn

"*I don't know why we could never get along. I tried my best. I'm just glad she actually talks to me now. She's happy.*"
―Aerie to Kalruhan about Rena.
#### Vicsiara Tios'n

"*I always used to be scared of her. A young high elf girl frightened of a dark elf after the war. And I'm pretty sure she enjoyed playing off that fear too. But she's shown me that she cares, deep down. Even if she won't admit it. I hope she's okay, though... Since she came back, she's seemed different.*"
―Aerie about Vicsiara.
#### Kahiier Tios'n

"*I can't believe how lucky she is that we found her on the side of the road with Vicsiara's mace. She should really talk to her mother...*"
―Aerie about Kahiier.
### Other

#### Eliana Arryn

"*She's young, but she's determined. I'm sure she'll grow into a wise leader.*"
―Aerie about Eliana.
#### Kyuba N'Zark

"*His magical power intrigues me. He was my father's apprentice, and I think I can see what he saw in him.*"
―Aerie about Kyuba.
#### The Council of Thirteen

"*I underestimated their arrogance. I thought that if Vicsiara could change, so could they. Oh, how I was wrong. And I payed for it. Dearly. And so did they.*"
―Aerie to a startled Kalruhan about the council.
