==Background==

Most halfelves in Elberron are raised in stable, loving families of long lineage of halfelfen blood. Then there is the other kind, like Elsiph. They're not as stable ;Elsiph's mother Elin was a tavern maid who took a tumble with an exotic traveller, an elf mercanary in the Church's service during the Last War. Roughly nine months later she had twins out of wedlock, and no means to support them. She registered their birth and gave them up to the Church orphanage.

Elsiph and his sister Jelin rarely saw each other, though they were friends and loved each other as siblings should. They showed talents for magic at an early age, which the priests attributed to their wild trace of Elf blood. Elsiph was apprentaced to a Church songmaster, for his melodous voice --- Jelin was sent off for other training, and he never saw her again.

During an invasion from those Andarian bastards to the west, Elsiph fought as a skirmisher. After the war, he felt the calling of the church, took religious training and was ordained. He's served in several capacities and has most recently been on a Bishop's staff as secretary and general dogsbody.

==Roleplaying notes==

''Never said you were. Might have thought it but never said it.

Oh, I am stupid enough, but I'm trying to RP a character smarter, wiser, prettier, and shorter than myself.

It's hard, you know?''
