[PAR Pri] [FIST] Elriorith, Departed Spirit, Dusk
The elder elven woman's heritage is clear upon first glance. Her high
cheek-bones and her frail jaw line, along with her thin nose and slim chin,
make her face stand out as a proud elven one. Her eyes, somewhat wrinkled,
twin well-shaped sockets that host a pair of topaz gems. Her crimson arched
eyebrows complete the picture of a woman, determined and stern by her looks.
Her crimson hair is long, caressing her back slowly as they reach her
shoulder line, tied at the back of her neck, with a blood red ribbon
carrying a silver seal with a crest on it. Her neck is long, and well
placed, leading down on her body. Her shoulders appear to be those of an
athletic person, even for her advanced age, without ruining her feminine
build. Her body is strong in build and firm. Her legs are long, appearing
to be strong as well, providing solid footage when the woman moves. The
elder woman is overly beautiful and well placed, despite her years which is
hidden well. She carries herself with a noble demeanour every time she
moves or talks. Her age might be well concealed by her elven heritage, yet
an experienced eye could determine that she is nearing the venerable elven
stage.

Enough with the stats and so forth. I will not be posting any spells/skills list, they were mediocre. I never spend time to master my spells or skills. Those I used constantly, were mastered, the rest were not. Simple as that.
Elriorith’s background:
Elriorith was born in Ayamao Age: 728 T.A.
Early in her childhood she met pain and loss, as she lost her brother. And that is where her journey begun. Her mother pledged her to the White Flame, as Elriorith recovered from near drowning experience when her brother was lost and faced a newborn Dawn. Her mother took this as a sign and pledged her to Alshain. Young Elriorith, begun to train that early.
(Invested by vaynereinhart (Vayne) on Thu Jun 09, 2005)
When she came of age, at year 829 T.A., she joined the flock of Lord Alshain through Vayne’s blessings, taking the Vows. She worked hard within the church, to give as much as she could, and learn plenty. Elriorith became a Favored Chaplain pretty fast, due to the lack of elder active clerics in the church.
(Became H3 Cleric around Thu Jul 07, 2005, remaining solo F3 around Mon Aug 01, 2005)
Elriorith had a hard time as the church crumbled around her, with all the members going inactive. She strived to learn all about Lord Alshain’s Domains, History and so forth alone. Having none around to aid, guide, teach her, she strived to the best of her ability to come up with certain rules and a structure that would bring the faith back. And that was the first time Alshain descended before her, in person. Elriorith was stunned with the majesty of her Lord, and once she received His blessings, she changed her title to Voice of Dawn, as He requested. She tripled her efforts from that time on.
Somewhere early in her life as well, she was invested into the White Swan Order, a mystical group of monks that drew her attention from day one. She became a student of the Bushido, seeking Enlightment. She always tried to balance the Crusading duties of the church, with the peaceful nature of the Monastery, and I am glad to think she has managed that. She was able to separate the Crusader Elriorith when her religion demanded action, from the peaceful bushido monk Elriorith, who would always listen, and try to find non hostile solutions.
A few years later, she begun to plot to remove Abbot Tonth from the leadership of the Monastery, as she felt that this dwarf disciple of Aludra, was indeed burying the order. Her calm and patient efforts paid off, as Tonth retired entirely after a while. Elriorith, became the Monastery Abbess. Being both the Voice and the Abbess was a gruesome burden, yet one she accepted to it’s every extent, and worked hard to neglect none of the two duties.
Somewhere along that time, she squired under Burton of Truth in Castle Morea. She wished to learn the ways of the Templar Paladins, for there was no Knight in the religion for quite some time, and she wanted to be able to direct the young Paladins of the church. She never claimed the title of the Paladin or the Knight in her entire life, although she was admitted into the Paladin Council as a Councilor later on.
In her long life, Elriorith had her moments. She was able to accomplish pretty much everything she wished, using both politics as she learned them in the monastery, religious status which was presented to her by her Lord, as well as the elven patience and longevity.
She had her flaws, quite many indeed as any normal character would. She wanted to be heard whenever something occurred that concerned her, and she ruled both the Dawn’s Church and the White Swan with a strict ethical code, similar to a military organization. Yet she always had an ear for democracy, and always took the time to listen to others, valuing their opinions. She made several mistakes, and had various errors in judgment in her life, yet she learned from those, through time and hardship. She was far from perfect.
Elriorith slowly transformed from a zealous Crusader into a Bushido Sensei, mostly because of the influence of the monastery. She came to understand the reason of Balance within the realms, something she gained from Filliokwe’s company. She also came to hold Lord Achernar second only to her Lord, for various reasons, with main reason that without Death, there can be no Rebirth. In her whole life, she was the only Chosen of Alshain to see Him in person, three times, which were the number of times she called to Him for aid and guidance.
Some of her successes in her life were:
a) Rebuilding the Church
b) Reforming the White Swan Order
c) Seeking the burial place of Queen Serena and aiding in setting her free, after eons of imprisonment.
d) Aiding the Zhang Empress come to power.
e) Sealing the daemon portal in the Ayamaoan woods.
f) Rebuilding the Temples of Alshain in Nerina, Exile, Ayamao.
g) Aiding in preventing the coming of the Dark Prophecy.
h) Constructing a set of secret sanctuaries of Lord Alshain in places He would otherwise be unwelcome.
i) Taking parts in several Crusades and Wars.
j) Composing three books for the Alshain Faith.
k) Restoring Achernar into power, preventing the End at the end of the Millennium.
Elriorith had to depart the common life, and seek a hermit’s venture at some point in her life. She was involved into the Dark Prophecy, and was bound to be of aid, willingly or unwillingly. Following her Lord’s Visions and Directions, she diminished and headed south into the ancestral woods of Ayamao, where she lived a hermitic life for more than fifty years. She returned, venerable and mature, having found peace with herself, when her Lord dictated the church was in need of Rebirth. She came back to find an empty church, deteriorating. She made it her last goal to bring Rebirth, and late in her life, she managed to invest more than thirty disciples of all professions into the church, in less than a decade. About the same time, once she was confident the Church would stand on it’s own feet once she was gone, she sought to make amends with the White Swan’s monks, and be accepted back. And so she was, welcomed back into her home.
Her final battle as a Crusader of the White Flame, was against a Hellion of War that ended up with her dying Courageously, yet considering it was her last battle, it was a glorious one, and a most suitable. Sargas against Alshain, as in the very history itself.
Once more, she was faced and brought before the Dark Prophecy, nearing the completion of her life. At the age of 273, the Millennium was at hand. Lord Achernar was rumored to have fallen ill, and the River was dissolving. Through the wisdom gained throughout her long elven life, and with the aid of her brethren of the Monastery and those of her Church, along with disciples of Lord Death, she came up with an idea that could possibly provide a solution. Seeing through deception and trickery, she managed to lead a group of a faithful few, to Lord Achernar’s location. There, they found him lost, disoriented and weakened.
Elriorith’s last action, was that of the ultimate sacrifice. Through selflessness, she performed her last ceremony, a Purification Rite through Lord Alshain’s blessings, drawing the taint and the corruption from Lord Achernar’s soul unto her own chaste, unmarred soul. The consequences were catastrophic for her, exactly as she had anticipated. Yet such was her duty, the way she saw it, and so she acted. Dissolving from the energies she pulled from within Lord Achernar, the Lord of Death stood anew, conscious and strong as ever before. Then, with a smile of serenity on her face, and her existence being whole, she dissipated into the River, flowing towards her beloved Father, Alshain, to seek whatever form of Rebirth He would deem her worthy of.
Thus, ends the life of Elriorith Il’hmarien, Voice of Alshain, Bushido Sensei of the White Swan. Year, 1001 T.A.
I could not possibly begin to mention names and start thanking individual characters. 2005 to 2008 is quite some time, and I fail to keep track of everyone. (Yet if you comment about any specific event, I will propably answer
)
I believe Elriorith was my most prominent character. She surpassed both Nimotlhar and Enfaustina in every aspect. It is too hard to let her go, after three long years with her, it tears me apart, yet such is the game and the course of time.
I would like to thank –everyone- in SK, for making this game the glorious game it is, for making time spend within the game, and epic saga of all sorts. I would like to thank those who liked her, those who hated her, those who like me and even those who dislike me as a player. Most of all, I would like to thank the Immortals I have interacted with, for being open minded, willing to participate in Roleplaying, as well as give through Building, working so that we, the players can enjoy. Great work guys, I salute you!
I believe I have done my part in building and constructing, as well as contributing for the game in every way possible for a mere player. No I will not roll another character anytime soon, I need to get Elriorith behind me and such will take some time. I will remain on the forums and on Yim normally, perhaps appearing as a ghost here and there from time to time, until I can find both the time, and the will to roll a new one
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart!
(I may post some more if anything worthy comes to mind at a later time.)
