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.

People He Knows:

Vance: fellow PC, Warforged Paladin. In awe of "his" faith and prowness. Unnerved by

Vance's voice, which resembles a fellow church ward at the orphanage who bullied him.

Nif: Fellow PC, Changling Ranger/Rouge. Admires her Half Elf persona's body, finds her lack of faith -- challenging.

Elin: Mother. Owns a tavern a short distance from the Cathedral. On good terms.

Jelin: Twin sister. Was on good terms, but has not seen her for years. Suspects she went on an undercover mission for the Secret Flame, and may be dead or switch sides.

Inlojelinspih: Father. Elf scout working for Thrane army on the frountier. Distant but polite relationship.

Cardinal Neskus is one of the 13 cardinals who rule thrane, though ouwardly a minor player in the countries politics he is in fact the leader of the Secret Flame.

Jeffor is a young page at the Cathedrel.

Viktur: Fellow PC, Human Monk/Mystic. Junior member of the Silent FLame.

In Daskaran

Koalski: a murder victim, said to be a fanatic devotee of the Flame.

Her Grace High Priest Imradi. Secretly an evil changling, she was killed by Vance and Elsiph.

Brother Drakin: Flame priest and vetran of the Last War. A good man, but not too bright.

Jerin d'Kundarek, Dwarf artifactor.

Kor. A dwarf artifactor of House Kundarek. Involved in the theft of church artifacts and murder. Allegedly committed suicide.

Jani Greynin, a woman of inherited wealth with a moderatly close relation to the old royalty.

Jochim Greynin. Jani's brother, a theif, a murderer, a rebel and an honerable idiot.

Thelisar, a priest of Dol Arrah.

Goradain Kariski. A mercenery out of Korth

Back in Flame Keep:

Samuel Latharian: Fellow PC, a half-elf sorcerer.

His Grace Bishop Olwitz, Elsiph's nominal boss during his downtimes. A wise but somewhat

longwinded semi-retired church missionary leader.

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?
