Carridin Telthus
Carridin Tethlus
Carridin grew up under the tutelage of her adoptive father, Gaius Telthus, a tactician serving in the Alshamas courts. While proficient with her martial studies, she longed to chase after her mother, Aeryn. According to Gaias, Aeryn was a bard of small renown who enjoyed traveling, playing the lute, and singing for others. With her father's blessing, she left for META to follow in her mother's footsteps.
However, her true journey begins after being kicked out of META for misconduct. In order to redeem herself (and blow off some steam) she chose to partake in the Festival of the Mythweaver. She hopes that her studies of Glacereon, the infamous sword, and undying loyalty to the heir of House Yenlamir, would serve her well.

Personal history
Aeryn and Gaias hardly got along but she respected her brother enough to come home from time to time. During such a visit, Aeryn found and saved the life of a Yoru elf named Tebryn. Gaius remained cautious. He knew little of Tebryn and only the basics of the Yoru and Ake elves.
Eventually, Aeryn became pregnant with Tebryn's child. Despite his opposition to their union, Gaius came to accept Tebryn and his niece, Carridin. However, soon after she was born, Tebryn was summoned back to the Netherworld for "something important". Aeryn waited day and night and fell into a deep depression. On the eve of Carridin's 3rd birthday she left in the middle of the night vowing to find Tebryn.
Following the loss of his sister and brother-in-law, Gaius took in young Carridin. While he was inexperienced caring for a child, he found help from his patrons, House Yenlamir, whose nursing maid took to looking after Carridin and Yenlamir's heir, Elorin.

Deepwater the 5th
This is the first time where I am at a loss for words. While we may tease and argue, I believe that many of us do care about one another. It is hard to say where some of us stand but at the end of the day, I believe that I do have real allies. Father always said that true friends will stand up for you even after you shot them in the back because you mismanaged your bow. I'd like to think this still applies.
However, Tellefax worries me. I've agreed to keep his condition a secret and I want to honor our friendship. His situation is growing worse. In exchange for power it seems his curse has spread and he's taken on a darker...persona I suppose. When we reach the next settlement, I'd like to ask for father's guidance on this issue and see if Elorin might have any thoughts on how to handle this.
