Eibhlín Xyrran
Eibhlín Xyrran
A half-elf bard of great renown.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Eibhlin's perception of her childhood is that it was perfect, even though apart from her parents, there was little consistency.
Eolan is a bard by trade (and spirit) with an eccentric personality and great talent. Eolan taught Eibhlin how to play musical instruments and perform for the crowds, and is the source of Eibhlin's charisma.
Edhel is a polymath - an explorer, writer, scholar, linguist, and photographer. She is also skilled in self-defense, having had to extricate herself out of dangerous situations in the field. Edhel taught Eibhlin everything she knows regarding languages, cultures, and history and always brought her Bag of Holding full of books everywhere she went. Edhel taught Eibhlin how to make a solid argument, and the importance of listening to every side before making judgements.
Eolan and Edhel are both alive and well, maintaining a happily-married nomadic lifestyle. Eolan and Edhel met during her field research at the Deneirien Lantern Amphitheatre; she was researching pre-Great War artistry and he was searching for inspiration from past great artists. Instead, he found his muse. They have been inseparable ever since.
Some years after their marriage, Eolan and Edhel temporarily settled in the culture-rich elven city-state of Thysserin. In Thysserin, Edhel met and interviewed many refugees of the Great War, sparking an ongoing interest in the Great War and its effect, which has become her life's work. During this period, Eolan and Edhel decided to start a family, and shortly thereafter, Eibhlin was born.
The trio lived in Thysserin for the first six years of Eibhlin's life, though they did travel several times. Eventually, Eolan and Edhel's love of travel and exploration brought them back to their nomadic ways. They traveled through most of the nations on the continent of Agonin, where her parents conducted their research, both consuming and creating knowledge and art, as well as sparking Eibhlin's interest in cultures, languages, and histories, and her overall love of learning.
At the age of 14, Eibhlin overheard talk of a nearby pseudodragon sighting in a tavern. She asked Edhel about them, having previously thought them to be extinct or mythical, but Edhel showed her a photo she had taken of one in a forest near the thorp of Tharausta many years before. Eibhlin has been in search of a pseudrodragon ever since.

Questioning the Quest
When we first entered the mountain, I knew we would likely encounter peoples and things unlike anything else. Which has been a theme of our journey. But this time we would be entering the home of one of our own. A home which was destroyed and has lain in ruin for half a century.
