**Irindal Sùrion** is an Elvaan noble of Clan Sùrion, being the younger brother to the family heir, Arandar Sùrion. Studious but timid, Irindal is curious about the galaxy around him but has been sheltered for so long, most doubt he would survive the wilds of his own world, let alone that of a foreign one.

## Appearance

Short and fair of skin and complexion, Irindal has short, curly dark brown hair and soft, green-blue eyes that many regard as innocent but thoughtful. He is short and thin, with not much musculature to him, with his *sepra* sharing the same color as his eyes. He has light blue-colored skin. He generally wears light green Enclave robes with gold accents and a gold sash. When out in the field, he will dawn a brown leather utility belt with pouches, vials, and other Magickal supplies lining it.

## Personality

Born a Magickally potent individual, with a registered Mana count of over twenty-three thousand, Irindal is one of the few in recorded history to surpass Archmage Dolotra's twenty-thousand record. Irindal's abilities have manifested in third-sight, astral projection, and kinetic/elemental manipulation. However, his emotional state has a direct link to his abilities, and due to his anxieties, his ability to control his powers has been a constant struggle throughout his life. His fear feeds into the loss of control, leaving Irindal spiraling into a destructive panic attack. As a result, his family have taken great pains to keep him sheltered and studying hard to master his abilities. Due to this, however, he has missed out on a great deal of his childhood.

Irindal has been ruled by insecurity and anxiety throughout his life. Years of being sheltered and having a limited ambition have lead him to become very fragile and non-combative. Even still, he is said to have a good moral center and longs to take a more active role in bettering the galaxy, particularly the over-looked victims of crime and war, and particularly those who have suffered because of Magick. For this reason, he became a member of the Arcanus Enclave, a close-knit group of Magickal teachers and students who provide their services to the galaxy as mystical consults and aides.

However, Irin greatly looks up to and admires his older brother, Arandar, often citing the stoic Vaan as his hero and source of strength. Aran, likewise, loves and pities his younger brother for the struggles he has endured from his Magickal potency. He often encouraged Irindal to pursue a career within one of the Core's many mystical schools of learning. It was thanks to Arandar's encouragement that Irindal finally joined the Enclave and became a Journeyman Magus.

## History

### Birth and Childhood

Irindal was born to Bardendàl Sùrion, Daen of Clan Sùrion, and his second wife Ilànya Sùrion, formerly of Clan Taerigg, during the spring of Kilivàth. He was noted as being a complete contrast to his solemn and stoic older brother, being loud and emotional as an infant. His Magickal talents were discovered early when the three-year old Irindal caused several mishaps during his fits such as lights bursting and curtains catching aflame. Bardendàl and his wives agreed to send him to the Druid Circle on Delgaath when he is older. At age four, Irindal began suffering night terrors in which he saw skies burning, shadows spitting green balls of fire, and metal dragons roaring to life.

### The Incident

As he grew up , Irindal often played with his closest friend, Nurithal, a son of a servant around his own age. One day as they played, Irindal accidentally phased Nuri through the stone flooring of the castle, leaving only his fingertips above the surface. The boy quickly suffocated before he could be chiseled out of the stone and his death haunted Irindal throughout his life. It was at this point that Irindal was sent to the Bandrui Circle on Vilgaard to train with the female Druids there. The Matron, Selva mac Helthig, took an immediate liking to Irindal and took over his personal training from day one.

### Training under Matron Selva

Under Matron Selva, Irindal learned how to identify when a surge of his Magick was approaching and to "ground himself" before it happens. She taught him how to identify and mix various herbs, calming animals, and predicting the weather. Irindal soon saw Selva as another mother figure and Selva saw Irindal as the son she had lost.

## Weapons and Equipment

* **Velwood Staff** - Irindal was gifted with a Velwood Staff after training with the Bandrui Circle on Vilgaard. The staff is a milky white, smooth wood that is hard as iron. It's Lithani is a turqoise "Tempest crystal" that favors control - over mind, body, and spirit. The staff is powerful with the focusing crystal but without it, it is powerless when not on Thyràsal.

* **Aruni Stones** - Irindal keeps a large pouch of Aruni stones with him whenever entering combat situations. When thrown, these stones rapidly become a part of whatever they reach and encase them in stone. Irindal uses these sparingly as the stone is difficult to render back into its original, throwable form.
