Yorreyl Selethyllion

## Yorreyl Reddhigwen

**Yorreyl Eymion Reddhigwen**, known as the **Vulture of Nel Minas** throughout Lortryn, is a Drow rogue hailing from the ancient forested realm of Lortryn. He is the only son of **Selethyll Wysanan** and **Maeyessa Reddhigwen** and became the sole heir to **House Reddhigwen** at the age of eighteen. He and his father are the only Drow to have been accepted and able to live a successful life within Lortryn's borders albeit not without hardship and the resentment of its people. His most trusted animal is a white horse named Rhiw. At some point during his exile, he adopted ***Yorreyl Selethyllion*** as a cover in case anyone recognized the ***Reddhigwen** name*.

## Description

##### Appearance

Yorreyl is a thirty-nine-year-old Drow, standing at six-foot with a muscular and toned physique despite his mesomorphic composition. His skin is a dark shade of obsidian and his eyes are a silvery gray with stark white hair. He possesses all of the hallmark traits and characteristics of any Drow, inherited his mother's height, and the unique Lortrynean mutation of deer antlers. His hair is generally never shoulder-length unless he chose to grow it out, opting to cut it and present in a slicked back style. He prefers to wear garments with rich, dark colors of greens, browns, and blacks as opposed to the lighter colors of yellow, white, and the like. He wears several silver bracelets and always wears a necklace adorned with the official symbol of House Reddhigwen. The grouping of several leaves is a simplified version that is still recognized by the Elves of Lortryn to date.

In the beginning of 1491 DR, Yorreyl had returned home. His antlers--the designation of status within Lortryn--began to grow six months after and finished growing after his first whole year home. A Lortrynean's antlers supposedly boast a stronger communal connection with woodland animals and amplified magic relevant to nature, specifically the animal and plant spheres of magic.

##### Personality

Yorreyl is a confident and composed individual that values tradition and loyalty. While he is proud of his heritage, he is not one to arrogantly boast about its superiority to anyone that would give an ear or not. He has been known to take drastic actions against people that he believed were worthy of an execution or better off dead in an unmarked grave, actions that he might later regret if taken. While far from home and House Reddhigwen, he still possesses a soft spot for family and would do anything to make sure that his actions wouldn't disappoint them.

Despite his tough exterior, Yorreyl has a deep appreciation for art and literature, often spending his free time reading poetry, practicing calligraphy, or occasionally playing instruments. He enjoys physical activities such as hunting and sparring, and is always striving to improve himself.

He can be a loner at times, preferring evenings admiring the landscape in a quiet environment as opposed to boisterous social gatherings, but that doesn't mean he doesn't value meaningful connections. He will always be there for his friends and allies when they need him. He may come across as intimidating, but those that do take the time to know him will find he has a big heart.

## Relationships

###### Rhiw

Lortrynean nobility were given the option of undergoing a ritualistic ceremony in which they would search for an animal to tame, one that would become their companion until death did either of them part. For the two decades he has 'owned' Rhiw, the two have grown to share more than just a master and servant bond. Yorreyl knows that he can freely trust in her and deeply cares for her just as she does for him. He ensures she is taken care of and puts her before himself on occasion.

###### Zori Marro

Yorreyl's ex-wife. Presently their relationship is quite awkward, only really talking when on the most unfortunate circumstances. They used to love each other deeply and would often or always fight for each other when they went on missions.

###### May Marro

Yorreyl's estranged stepdaughter and the daughter of Zori Marro. He had incidentally taken the role of a father figure for 'little Miss May' where Zori had faced expulsion from House Oceiros. It gave him a reason to fight for someone other than himself, that he would fight to hold his stepdaughter another day, see her smile and watch her grow up - something he would've traded his longevity for if he could. When the all-powerful sorcerer, Nerva Cathor, had become a rising threat in the Calradian Imperium, besting the second-tier Calradian God, Irrades and his vessel, Krimsun Fride, Zori was forced to become his temporary vessel while he recovered. May was taken to Irrades' plane as part of that deal where she fought manners of monsters, leaving her a scarred and broken adult woman when she was finally able to leave his hellish realm. Though they have not sought each other out for almost a decade, he still loves her dearly. He still sings her favorite lullaby when he had been taking care of her in Calradia.

###### Ailish Ocethion

Yorreyl thinks of Ailish as a better ruler, more so than Nero Neretzes - the Emperor of the Calradian Imperium - when he was serving under House Angelos. In the Battle of the Raven Queen, Yorreyl made the offer to safeguard her sons and specifically the stowaways that had no business journeying with them through the Feywilds. He had stayed further behind to ensure that he could keep an eye on them and that if there were any foes to attack, he'd be the among the first to notice. When young Raeydar was killed during a battle with a colossal tarrasque, Yorreyl shouldered the blame on himself, that he was too weak to make any real impact or help the people he was burdening himself with. This blame and guilt has gnawed at him through the four years since the Raven Queen's defeat but it is his primary reason for dedicating himself to his Lortrynean heritage, so that no one else dies under his watch again. Though he tells no one about this, he still has nightmares of this battle.

###### Frizum Kriuth

It's no secret that Yorreyl and Frizum share some hatred for each other. He disapproves of Frizum's constant lust for power, choosing himself over the safety and well-being of Agriosa's citizens, especially because he's on Ailish's council as the Master of Arcana. His provocative dialogues toward others bring this opinion of him down, but he respects his power and knowledge of the arcane enough that he tolerates him, bringing him above an acquaintance and one of the only people that he believes is actually capable of getting things done if he puts his own personal needs aside.

###### Nerva Cathor

Yorreyl thinks of Nerva similarly to Frizum, someone who doesn't do something without gain. He - likewise with Frizum - respects his power and knowledge of the arcane, and appreciates him slaughtering the Calradian second-tier God, Irrades.

###### Penny Holzhausen

He expresses no desire to actually get to know Penny, only making attempts to communicate with her over scheduled council meetings with Mariam Lazeena or Ailish Ocethion presiding over them. He despises Penny as a person and her actions because she openly talks about extreme acts of violence and blatant murder, even going so far as to warrant them. Yorreyl made infrequent attempts to get through to Penny to think rationally. None of his attempts made any headway as she is hyper fixated on her narcissism and delusions.

###### Corvo Atilan

Like Penny, he doesn't make any effort to vocalize with Corvo for much the same reasons. He doesn't see Corvo as that competent but he's many steps above the 'Master of Defense' so his opinions of the man are rather neutral.

###### Mariam Lazeena

Mariam and Yorreyl are just beginning to get back on friendlier terms. After the realization that Mariam was extremely guilty and upset at her actions in Lortryn, and Uranyel's own accounts that this was nothing more than a freak accident, he relented, offering his apologies for getting as mad as he did. He knows Mariam is trustworthy enough given her status and relationship with Ailish.

###### Talisa Nathalanorn

Talisa is perhaps the only other person Yorreyl feels comfortable with. Despite her more complicated past especially in regards to the Raven Queen coupled with her worship over Lolth, he trusts her just as much as Ailish. He sees someone as loyal as him, with just as much strength.

## Character Information

#### Proficiencies and Abilities

As a half-Lortrynean, he possesses natural affinities with magic that manipulate or animate the worlds' natural flora. Using this magic himself is far more effective compared to a non-Lortryneans attempts.

As a Drow - or like any Elf - he is immune to being charmed or magically put to sleep. He possesses enhanced darkvision, and due to his Lortrynean heritage blending with his Drow heritage, he does not possess a Drow's natural weakness to sunlight,

He has training in a Lortrynean art unique to the Whiteleaf Swords and nobility known as "Megil Lhossa", or "Sword Whispering". He can use the wind magic enchantments on **Rin o se Gwaeren** without unsheathing it by using himself as a psuedo-catalyst, harnessing the wind magic as effectively as if it were drawn. However, he must remain within arm's reach to his attuned weapon to effectively utilize this technique.
