## Ithlinne Ravavaris

**IthIinne Retha Ravavaris**, born as **IthIinne Drusilia**, also commonly known as the **Captain of the Wind**, was a Half-Elf Fighter who captains the Crew of the Barracuda. She was born in the capital city of Sylcyne, Philipia. Her lover was Kenneth Morley.

## Description

### Appearance

Ithlinne was sixty one years old though depicted to look like she was in her mid thirties. She stood at five feet and ten inches tall with a lithe frame. Her bright golden yellow eyes were often described as windows to her fearless spirit. Ithlinne had a long mass of red hair, crimped, curled and tattered by the sea air. Her hair has been sun-bleached to the point where the tips are lighter. Her skin was weathered from the days spent at sea, with crow's feet beginning to form at her eyes, but she constantly had a bright smile. She was usually dressed in clothing suited for a life at sea, donning a loose, white blouse that allowed for ease of movement, paired with form-fitting black trousers that accentuated her lithe legs. Around her waist, a sturdy leather belt held her weapons of choice – a pair of flintlock pistols and a wickedly sharp cutlass.

### Personality

From day one, Ithlinne has been increasingly self-confident, proud in defense of those she loves and protects. She is an incredibly protective individual, treating her own crew as her family oftentimes. Ithlinne has never been blinded by money, rather she has put her focus into her deity, Shaundakul, using him as guidance when traveling.

## Biography

### Backstory

#### Early Life

Ithlinne was born in 1431 DR in the capital of Sylcyne, Philipia, in an orphanage with Brurk Eldersword. In 1436 DR, at the age of six, she was taken away by the Brothers and Sisters of the Vale. Brurk attempted to get her back but was caught when trying to run away.

#### Training

Taken into the care of the Brothers and Sisters of the Vale, Ithlinne found herself enrolled in an academy situated in Thevelean. Here, her magical abilities would be nurtured, and she'd be compelled to develop her talents. In 1469 DR, during her mid-forties, Ithlinne had successfully completed her training and became a member of the Order of Oblivion.

One evening, while patrolling the border between Thevelean and Philipia, where the magical academy was concealed underground, Ithlinne heard a suspicious rustling in the bushes. Adopting a defensive stance, she cautiously approached the source of the noise, discovering her friend Brurk hidden in the foliage. Brurk managed to persuade her to seek refuge in the nearby forest, concealing themselves from prying eyes in the dense undergrowth. With enough persuasion, Brurk convinced Ithlinne to leave Sylcyne and go to Faerûn. With their resolve strengthened, the two made the decision to depart from their former lives and set a course for Faerûn.

#### Shaundakul's Influence

While in Faerûn, Ithlinne and Brurk went to the capital of Cormanthyr, Myth Drannor and came across Shaundakul's Throne, a temple dedicated to Shaundakul. They were introduced to the Church of Shaundakul and decided to join.

Ithlinne met Kenneth Morley in Myth Drannor and fell in love with him, joining him on his smuggling activities in the Redwater Guild. Their smuggling activities soon transitioned to creating an independant criminal organization with an additional friend of Kenneth; Kelton Garthside. They called themselves the "Riders of the Wind" with the intentions of spreading the chaos of Shaundakul.

#### Hreinngar Pirates

Arzug Royston and Borjal Hanubeg joined the Riders of the Wind and proposed the idea of doing piracy directly against the Zhentarim. They renamed themselves to the Corsairs of the Wind and began to protect travelers at sea from the Zhentarim, also stealing from Zhentarim criminals.

In 1483 DR, Ithlinne joined the Crew of the Barracuda and became the second in command to Captain Horatio Roberts. Soon after the death of Horatio, she became captain.

While in Calradia in 1487 DR, the barracuda was attacked by the Church of the Great Leviathan. Ithlinne was burnt alive by Samaya Gallarys in Boaty McBoatface.

## Legacy

After the brutal death of Ithlinne, most members of the Crew of the Barracuda were completely massacred with the exception of those who managed to flee, including Jacob Cutter. Ithlinne's death became a cause for celebration among the Zhentarim, with Lady Desmonda openly taunting Ithlinne's death and taking credit for defeating the half-elf.

It wasn't until approximately eight years later, in the year 1495 DR, that Nahalia Drumwind took vengeance for those who were killed. She executed Gravven Thaller and all the men involved in the attack. Desmonda met her end with a slit throat (similar to Three, who was killed by a mercenary hired by Desmonda), Trovion Waterose suffered a fatal stab to the heart (how Chead Hancock died), and Samaya Gallarys was set ablaze, similar to how Ithlinne was burnt alive.

## Relationships

### Kenneth Morley

Ithlinne crossed paths with Kenneth in 1469 DR while in Myth Drannor. She fell in love with him one night, and soon she was introduced to his smuggling operation, becoming an active participant. From that moment onwards, they became inseparable, standing together even during the start of the Corsairs of the Wind. Ithlinne had plans to get engaged to Kenneth, yet met her demise days before she got the chance to.

### Shaundakul

Ithlinne’s connection with the deity, Shaundakul, was as close as her relationship with Kenneth Morley. Each day, she offered prayers to him, beseeching for safe journeys. Even when she remained in one place, her hopes extended to the welfare of her friends and ordinary folks embarking on their own adventures. At every available opportunity, she tirelessly promoted the Church of Shaundakul, passionately encouraging people to embrace its teachings and become a part of its community.

### Corsairs of the Wind

The connection Ithlinne had with every member of the Corsairs of the Wind was a sincere and heartfelt one. Their common goal of advancing Shaundakul's influence brought them closer as friends. Surprisingly, even during their transition into piracy, their connections seemed to strengthen. Ithlinne enjoyed witnessing the excitement and joy that filled their hearts when they stumbled upon hidden treasures.

Ithlinne had a reputation for treating all her crew members with respect and kindness, regardless of their role, whether it was a temporary task like hoisting the anchor or a more permanent role. She took great care to ensure everyone had proper nourishment and maintained good hygiene standards.

### Crew of the Barracuda

Ithlinne's connection to the Crew of the Barracuda paled in comparison to her bond with the Corsairs of the Wind. She perceived most of the members as reckless and careless, a sentiment she, ironically, shared with them. Despite her status as one of the original members of the barracuda, Ithlinne did not have the same level of respect from the crew as she did from the corsairs. However, when the passing of Horatio Roberts occurred, she seized the opportunity to assume leadership and inspire the crew to achieve greatness. She aspired to serve as a commendable role model, even though she frequently doubted her ability to succeed given the crew's inherent dysfunction.

### Spoken about Ithlinne
