Elayne Mystica is a powerful mage and psionicist dwelling in the
Free City of Irongate and in a demiplane linked to it.
History
"Elayne," as she is known today, was born in 333 CY on the 7th day of Needfest to a clan of a subterranean
Suloise people known as the Lerara. Her father was a minor noble, his status based on the growing of fungi, the training of hunters, and the distilling of poisons. She was the first-born of her brothers and sisters, but her father preferred a son to inherit the family estate, so she was sent away to become an acolyte of the Mother, the glowing amoeba-like being who the Lerara worship. For the first years of her life she lived among the priests of the entity, who trained her to assist in the sacrificial rites, gifting their patron with the life energy of the old, the crippled, and the diseased among the Lerara. At the age of 16 she escaped the subterranean society, fleeing through myriad winding tunnels to the distant world of the sun and sky.
After wandering through the wilderness for a week, Elayne was rescued by the elves of the
Oytwood, who trained her in their mystic arts. The elves, however, abhorred psionics, and cast her out in 356 CY when her wild talents manifested. Calling herself "Celene," she adventured alone for several years. She joined for a time a group of adventurers known as the Company of the Iron Fist, and ultimately found herself in the service of
Cobb Darg of
Irongate.
Relationships
Elayne is an employee and friend of Cobb Darg, Lord Mayor of Irongate. She is also an ally of Tsolorandril, a hero-deity of wave motions. She retains membership in her old adventuring group, the Company of the Iron Fist, but is too powerful these days to work well with them. She has numerous other acquaintances she has met on her crossplanar adventures.
She is an acquaintance of
Mordenkainen and an ally of
Bigby.
