Sir Elathain Kelwyn towers over other men at 6'8" tall. Underneath the rugged outdoorsman exterior is a handsomely chiseled man with a humble smile. He is often wearing masterfully tailored light leather armor under a knight's tabard and flowing cloak. He usually carries a longsword and a knife-sized piece of deer antler shaved with a sharp edge. His gigantic horse (that could carry two regular sized men comfortably) is loaded with heavier gear and other weapons of war.

If he can't get out to the country and must stay in the busy city of Ralmorhegg, you can usually find him at the Boar 'n Hound Tavern.

Background

Member of House Kelwyn

  • Born of the love affair between the late Baron Daman Tregenhor and Lady Jasline Delwohr.
    • As he was born out of wedlock, Elathain was deemed non-heir status.
    • Lady Jasline's jealous husband, Sir Jakar Kelwyn, murdered her in a fit of rage and because of it was disowned by his father, Sir Jares Kelwyn of Mingralt.
  • Elathain was adopted by Sir Conin Kelwyn (Jakar's brother) and Lady Breyna Joret.
  • Born on the 12th of Hiadhul, 709, in Mingralt. He was eight years old when his family moved to the newly established Barony of Tregenhor in Rottithlas of 717.
  • At the insistence of his uncle, he began his combat training at an early age, became a page at age 8, a squire at age 15 and earned his knighthood at age 19, when he swore fealty to Baron Damon Tregenhor.
    • Commanded and instructed militiamen in combat.
    • Often assigned to patrol the road ways of central Tregenhor.
    • Occasionally accompanied the other knights on missions to purge an area of aggressive beasts and monsters threatening the hamlets.
  • In addition to his training for knighthood, his uncle also instructed him in the design and administration of the family business:
    • Overseeing peasants who grow and harvest the grapes of the Kelwyn vineyards.
    • Oversee the master vintners and the wine production operations.
    • Manage the storage and trade of the finished wines.

His Presumed Death

Elathain's journey into the wood

On the 4th of Faemal, 741, Sir Elathain, and a unit of militiamen, was tasked to investigate a problem in the forests to the south of the hamlet of Ravyne to the east of Ralmorhegg. There, they encountered a fearsome monster like none he had ever heard tales told of. The monster slaughtered the party, leaving only Elathain, mortally wounded. However, it was not his fate to die that day. A spirit of the woods took pity on him, moved him to a safe location, tended his wounds and nursed him back to health over several months.

Spirits of the Forest

During those long months, Elathain found solace in the wood with the company of the woodland spirit. When he was fully healed, he didn't return to his home among humans and big cities. Perhaps it was because he still felt guilt over the loss of his companions, or perhaps it was because he preferred the loneliness of the wood. He stayed with the spirit and built himself a small cottage.

Sword of Genoth & Ring of Rimen

Following his rescue by the spirits of the woods while in the forests southeast of the hamlet of Ravyne, before his return to Ralmorhegg, Elathain had many years to explore the forest. During one of his scouting quests, he stumbled across the ruins of an ancient stone building. The stone exterior appeared to have been carved with numerous, detailed designs, but untold ages of weathering had eroded them to a point which he could make no sense of them or clearly describe the carvings. Venturing into the structure, he found a substructure, accessed through a stone slab worn so thin that it nearly collapsed under his weight. In the chamber below, he discovered a moldering room housing a pristine chest, magically protected from the savages of nature. Inside, he discovered a sword and a ring. The sword has a large red garnet in the pommel and is crafted of a metal he is unfamiliar which has a rosy tint. The ring was crafted of the purest platinum and holds a rare gem like a white tiger's eye. Both were stylized with the likeness of a owl and have inscriptions of a flowing script of an unknown language. Although he has learned nothing yet of the artifact's history, through regular use he as learned some of their benefits.

Return to Civilization

Eight years passed. Sure, occasionally, he would venture to the hamlet of Ravyn, to trade and learn what news he could, but he held no desire to return to his past life - until he learned of the death of the baron. Elathain returned to Ralmorhegg during the New Year celebration, Dothual 749. At first he was reluctant to make himself known, unsure of the reaction he would get from those he had not seen in those long eight years. They had to have thought him dead.

His former friends noticed that he wasn't himself. He was more distant, awestruck at what is out there, and perhaps even unconcerned over the squabbles of nobility. Upon returning to Ralmorhegg, telling of this tale, the other knights were glad of his safe return. However, the young Baron Dyron Tregenhor, who had only recently risen to power after the death of his father, was not so pleased to see his half-brother Elathain return. Baron Dyron had him stripped of knighthood in a move that surprised many nobles, chief among them was Elathain's youngest half-brother Sir Kyllan. Many nobles whispered that if Sir Kyllan were made baron, a feast would have been thrown in Elathain's honor.

Recently, Elathain has been serving his adoptive father, Sir Conin Kelwyn, from time to time as chief guard of caravans. Elathain believes it is only a matter of time before Baron Dyron swallows his pride and conscripts him to serve in the battle front at Thurdetch against the actions of the Straihlbalt forces.

In His Absence
During the eight years he was gone, presumed dead, there were some changes:

  • Sir Conin Kelwyn has devoted much time to instructing his second son, Grag (38), in the family business, preparing him to take over as the family patron one day soon.
  • Lady Mayra Hilkath (only daughter of Fellar Hilkath), who he was likely to wed, instead married Conin Farston (35).
