Ephelyn

Ephelyn is an Eladrin Sorcerer and a founding member of Lux Aeterna. She is played by Lauren Phoebe Morley.

Ephelyn, as an Eladrin, spent her childhood in the vibrant forests of Titanedria in the Feywilds, and thus had a slightly different childhood compared to the usual races of the Prime Material Plane.

Ephelyn and her family lived in relative quiet, with few life events making up the time before Ephelyn's 15th Life Day, when she found a Displacer Beast kitten in need of care.

Shortly after befriending the kitten, which she named Archendrin, Ephelyn began experiencing blackouts, and when she would come to, objects in her room would be scattered and thrown around.

Upon discovering this, Lord Philtrus, Ephelyn's father, revealed that Pheltide, Ephelyn's brother, had suffered the same ailment - Shadow Magic.

Philtrus advised Ephelyn to follow in her brother's footsteps and head to the Prime Material Plane, so she may better learn to control her power away from the prying eyes of the Unseelie Court.

A tenday hence, Ephelyn emerged through one of the natural gateways between worlds, arriving in Neverwinter Wood. Ephelyn naturally gravitated Westward, and soon found herself in the vast city of Neverwinter, and further still to the Tavern - The Goblin's Gizzards.

Here, Ephelyn found herself amongst the company of a red-skinned Orc, a Half-Elf Cleric of Selûne, and a Tiefling, and little did she know how much her life would change when the Dwarf, Gundren Rockseeker, flung open the door to the tavern.

## Description

### Appearance

Even amongst Eladrin, Ephelyn would be considered especially beautiful. Her elven features are sharp and angular, but with soft eyes and a welcoming face.

As an Eladrin, Ephelyn's physical appearance changed fairly regularly. Her hair, skin, and 'natural' elements of her clothes would all change to reflect the 'season' Ephelyn found herself in. Spring would reflect a viridian shade of green, Summer would bring out bright yellows, while Autumn would show a warm, welcoming orange shade, and Winter would bring a pale, icy blue.

## Biography

### Pre-Campaign

Ephelyn, a young Eladrin, grew up in the forest of Titanedria in the Feywilds with her mother, father and brother. The family home resembled a bunch of intertwining structures nestled amongst the trees, and in her youth Ephelyn spent most of her time in the family’s Athanaeum, a library for the study of the Feywild. Ephelyn always had an obsession with the books on the realm’s native creatures: Satyrs, Dryads, Faerie Dragons, Displacer Beasts, Blink Dogs, really any and all forms of flora and fauna.

On her fifteenth Life Day, Ephelyn found an abandoned Displacer Beast kitten, lost and without a mother, Ephelyn nurtured the beast to health, based on Ephelyn’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the Feywild’s inhabitants, and eventually the kitten bonded to Ephelyn, and she named the kitten Archendrin.

Ephelyn’s life was rarely fraught with danger; she and her family lived in relative peace for most of Ephelyn’s life until an innate sorcerous power awoke within her. A magic borne of shadows and darkness. Ephelyn’s new magic unnerved her family, but she was not cast out of Titanedria, for unbeknownst to Ephelyn, her older brother Pheltide had the same experience with his shadow magic growing up. Ephelyn’s father had studied shadow sorcery since Pheltide’s was revealed and found a way to teach Ephelyn of the dangers shadow sorcery could cause, however, Pheltide had made his way to the Material Plane some years ago to learn of his powers, and if Ephelyn were to learn about hers, her best bet was to follow in Pheltide’s footsteps, and find him. Last he was seen was in the city of Neverwinter. Some moons later, Ephelyn herself set out to the city, crossing over one of the thresholds between worlds, leaving behind her family and Archendrin to discover her own powers.
