Algareth Sil'vae

## Biography

### Global Information

27 year old Elf, currently building for Caelenidium. Algareth has always been a bit more in the back, and lone, which we can guess by his lack of friends. Close people are not the only thing lacking, as he never learned to fight. In consideration, he has a pretty solid muscular mass, as he worked with his adoptive father on constructions regularly.

### Early childhood

Algareth did not know who his biological parents were, his true date of birth or where he was born. In fact, the newborn elf was found in a forest by a human couple (Natalia being the woman and Edward being her male soulmate). Since the two beings were unable to procreate, they decided to take him under their wing and treat him like a child of their own. His adoptive parents named him Algareth, which is the name they hoped to give to their first child. They chose Sil'Vae as his second name (Silvae meaning "forests" in Latin) and his date of birth was chosen to be the day they found him.

### Childhood

The elf being was raised in a nation named Giriah. Since the population was only human, Algareth had to commonly deal with racism and discrimination, but his loving parents gave him the will to learn and make himself useful to others. Pretty soon, the infant found himself an interest towards architecture and construction, which delighted his father since he was a renowned architect at the time. And so, at the age of 5, Edward began to teach him the art of construction and architectonics. Algareth revealed himself to be pretty talented, and at the age of 9, began to work on plans for structures with his father. Even though he had a great future planned, something was bothering him: he was an elf, being raised in human culture. And so, his mother began to take him to the library every Saturday so that he could learn about his similars, their lifestyle and culture.

### Teenage years

Growing up, the elf was impressing the people around him, and at the age of 12, he even got a job as a helper architect. And at the age of 15, he got to work as an official Architect of Giriah. As he was making his way higher and higher into the art of structural composition, the discrimination he faced began to fade away and people were even respecting him. At the age of 17, he had such large renown that other towns and kingdoms demanded him for his skills. And so, he got to travel around Pyke and work for many different nations while bringing more and more riches to Giriah, making his beloved kingdom more and more prosperous.

## Pyke

At the age of 25, the elven being got a request from Kiwii the leader of the newly born nation Myrus (which would later annex with other kingdoms to form "The Xonian Empire"). Algareth got to make plans for residences, towers and other kinds of building. He befriended Kiwii and everything was going well. Until, one day, ground began to tear appart, skies began to fade, wind was brutal; calamity was hitting this realm.

## Agaroth

### His arrival in Agaroth

As he woke up, Algareth was stunned by what he saw around him: nature. Nothing else. He began to wander in search of life while securing his survival by hunting, fishing and fabricating tools.

### Caelenidium

After what seemed like 5 weeks, the elven being observed a giant moving mass in the air. As the unknown object was slowly landing on the ground, Algareth ran towards it. Finally, he saw a giant boat drawing itself. He was greeted by its driver, Gustav II, who told him that the sky dominion lied above the clouds, on floating islands. Not knowing what he was talking about, he embedded on the boat and was brought to Caelenidium. Algareth then met Philomena Melaurum, leader of the sky dominion. He gratefully accepted the hospitality offered and, in return, began to use his architectonic skills to help with the aesthetic and structural development of the Nation. Finally, he was granted citizenship for his services. While building in Cael, He also learned how to use steam and gears at his advantage to build multiple things such as his floating house, a hot air balloon, a sawmill and an airship resembling a dirigible.

### Yatska

Some time after starting to build for Caelenidium, a visitor called Pink Protector decided to engage one of the many talented builders of the sky dominion. Algareth was not the best, but he decided to take the opportunity and build for Crescentia. He was assigned to the construction of a castle on an island that would later separate from Crescentia and become Yatska. The faefolk pledged allegiance to Yatska and Pink protector, to then become the head architect of this nation, while staying unswervingly loyal to the nation who first offered him a home in Agaroth.

### The Paths and the light

#### The millenium tree

Yatska had blown up. Algareth, lightly injured, found refuge in the nearby woods of Tarn. He needed to heal his wounded leg before travelling back to Caelenidium. As days passed, loneliness and boredom bacame stronger; the elven needed to see someone, travel somewhere, just do something. He decided to go deeper into the forest to maybe find something, anything. He really didn't know what he was searching for, until he found it: a millenium years old tree, with deep green light glowing out of it's trunk. It's like if the wooden monument had called for him. Algareth's similarly colored eyes rolled up, as the young elf's body and mind was merging with the tree.

#### The trance

After merging with the tree, he was proposed a deal by a voice thought to be the tree's. He could exchange half of his lifespan against the truth about his origins and the ability to see "The Paths" at a young age. This was a dangerous deal, since he would live a shorter life and that the paths might overwhelm him into madness. But his origins... He needed to know. He accepted the deed and was first told that the millenia trees are in fact a hive mind of old wooden vegetals between the realms. When dying, a tree can transfer its light (which is also the tree's Path) into the body of a pregnant elf to bless her baby with the capacity to develop "The Paths" even more than a casual elf could. Though, this process results in the death of the mother. Algareth's mom had lost her spouse due to him suffering from a stronger variant of leprosy, and gave births while she was far away from the elven village. When perishing, the deep green light of the elf will slowly begin to decay until nothing is left from the gift. After this explanation, came the removal of 150 years of his remaining lifetime.

#### The Paths

After disassembling from the tree, Algareth felt life around him; the trees, the flowers and even the corpses of dead creatures. This last enumeration was the worst one, it made him feel sad, angry even if he had no reason to be. And so, the elf decided to take a month to try and contain this newly found power. He felt like he was losing his mind at times, and some others he wanted to flee from things that didn't exist, or that existed in the past. And finally, after countless moons, he could finally activate or repress The Path. He found out that The Paths were in fact the trace of life that beings left in their past of present life. And soon, he could even force those Paths into others, mixing their energy and their will. Finally, he got the ability to transfer this energy into non-living things such as rocks (kind of like the tree did to his mind to talk to him). He had no idea how to contain this energy from returning to their actual owners. Even if this power was his, it exceeded him.

### The walking house

In quest of mastering the Paths once and for all, the elven being decided to start a project combining most the knowledge he had yet gained during his life: the arts of architectonics, steam, gears and the Paths. He would make a giant moving house. First he made plans for the walking monument on gridded paper, and after a couple of weeks, he had it figured out. But he needed great Path energy. Then, Algareth remembered that Cael had passed a deal with a place called Soul Flare. So Algareth decided to go on a trip there and see if there had great Path energy.

The elf met Specter, an individual bonded to the soul flare isles, as he WAS the soul energy. As the Paths are a trace left by living being, Algareth had the power to infuse the Soul power into objects, just like he did with the Paths. In exchange of it's architecture skills (the elf would help Specter to fabricate abodes and pathways through soul flare), he could harvest some soul energy from Soul Flare to power the machine house. Since the Soul energy, like the paths will always be bonded to their "owners", it would eventually come back to them, meaning that Algareth would eventually need to recharge his house at some point.

### Agaroth's end

On It's way to the Soul Flare Isles, Algareth got called by the Millenia tree again. He decided to take a detour over there, for what could be the last time.

"The world might be coming to an end. And so will I. The deep purple light has entered this realm, not knowing the calamity this world is about to face." Said the tree. He continued:

"Maybe it is the cause of all this disturbing energy that I sense, but i doubt it. It won't die, only be weakened. Now, go ahead, go to soul point. Let's hope you survive to stop the deep purple light from getting back it's 33 parts."

Algareth began to walk in direction of soul Flare, and looked back. He looked back. The tree's unique glow started to shade into purple. He passed by Caelenidium. He had so much left to do. Like with the first realm he was in, it might be destroyed. He saw his reflection a puddle. It was probably the last time he'd see this place.

"Goodbye"

## Hobbies

As the elf grew up, he needed to find things, hobbies, passions, etc; simply to sometimes get away from architecture, as he was pretty much spending most of his days working on with his father and learning.

### Dancing

Strangely, dancing was one of the few sports that he tried that he actuallt liked. He was awful at first, but with a good 11 years of practice, Algareth was good enough to show off on the streets and make some money out of it. When he was dancing, the young elf was forgetting about everything bad - every problem, every ounce of stress disturbing him -, which was the root of his motivation to practice this sport.
