Noteîr Rosethorn

**Noteîr Rosethorn** is the the lord of Keyvailen wood-elves and a former commander of the Imperial Rangers. He is one of the few survivors of Nertovec’s Shockwave, and he gathered many other survivors who became the first Wood-elves. He was influential in the victory at Kesig Fields, and later joined Elandin Kiesel’s march to the Insal Valley, and building in the construction of Inlawswee.

## Bio:

### Early life:

Noteîr was among the first of the elves to awaken on Keyvaile. He moved to the shore of the great southern sea and married one of his fellow first born elves and bore a daughter. Unfortunately, a few years later his village was among those destroyed by Nertovec’s Shockwave, leaving him the only survivor.

### Serving Nemat:

He would escape his destroyed village, devastated by the loss of his entire family. He would have died that day had it not been for the Arch-fay Iolanda Silver-rift who rescued him from the wreckage. She convinced him to keep going on and help the survivors of other villages who he lead to the lands of the elf-lord Julius Nemat.

He aided Nemat in uniting the elven realm and warring with the gnomish kingdom of Robrit as their queen Madivor Reveŕse was blamed for the Shockwave. He fought in many battles including the final Battle of Kesig Fields. After the battle, he would be influential in the sparing of many of the Robritian nobility.

After that, he journeyed the world for a bit until he was met by the young prince Elandin Kiesel and joined his march to the Insal Valley. There he helped him buld the city of Inlawswee and was rewarded with the position of head of the Imperial Rangers.

### Serving the Empire:

During the early days of the Empire, one of his rangers encountered dwarves near Tor-Eradi making first contact with that race. This would lead to the forming of a great alliance between the elves, dwarves, and the merfolk who were also met at that time, known as the Triple Alliance. Together they warred against the rogue sprit Zernoch, banishing him from Keyvaile for a thousand years.

He would refuse to get involved in the Kinstrife between Neithon and Aredhel Kiesel, instead serving to maintain the Empire while the two fought their war, preventing the elven realm from collapsing before Aredhel could take the throne in the end, though he would fight against the Sea-Isli invasion of Kang Su-Gao. At the end of that war, he would be among those who Empress Aredhel brought with her to meet with Hakuri Su-Gao to discuss peace talks and would defend the two from the fell Osutali witches after the betrayal of Madasi and her sisters,

During the Fomorian Crisis, he would be warned about the horde’s approach by Dido Nelnie and tried to tell the local governor Earom Tolsim but would be ignored, resulting in the governor's forces total defeat at the Massacre of Retom Fort. He then went to Inlawswee to warn Emperor Alberich Kiesel of the invasion.

He fought the Fomorians from Kalmis to Falstaf as a member of the Emperor's inner circle. After the disaster at Retom Fields and the loss of Kie Nesiem he met Nelaf and was the first to realize that she was the Spirit of Hope. At the Battle of Falstaf, he slew many Fomorians, including the eel tongued Sluman. After the war, he honored his fallen friend Durant Eifel by helping to raise his son Elroy into a great leader. At the last meeting he aided the gnomish leader Alois Iroas in founding the Lear and Pariin. He also nearly died at Torisal but fortunately only lost his left middlefinger. He rushed to Alberich’s aid but arrived too late as Inlawswee had already fallen. He joined Tyne’s House Rolon as a founding member shortly after the Era of Sorrows began.

## Era of Sorrows:

He would form the Noteîri people out of survivors of the elven purges that happened after the fall of the Empire and guided these people in the ways of elves before the Empire.

During the time of the Omega Killer, he attended a party at the Padrana Estate.

## Personality:

He is calm and compassionate when need be, but otherwise keeps his distance from his fellow elves. Not that surprising, due to his often extreme experiences all over the years.

## Powers:

**Weapon Mastery (Bow):** He is a skilled archer.

**Survivalist:** He is skilled in living in the wilds and pretty much being alive in general.

## Trivia:

* He is one of the most mentioned characters in the history of Keyvaile.
