Aranel Lightleaf is a scribe, historian, and lorekeeper of the elven Llwcharion faction in the Broken Lands. While she is lesser-known than other loremasters of Illyria, her chronicles of the Llwcharion detailed in her work, entitled, “Tales from Eldaron Erua: Chronicle of the Starlit Watchtower,” are seminal to the elven race in the Broken Lands.

Descended from a long line of elven lorekeepers, Aranel Lightleaf was born in the desert bastion of Eamon Alar, near the Elven Tower of Eldaron Erua, which rises as a beacon amid the harsh waste left after the Sundering. 

Driven by a need to understand and chronicle the endurance of the Llwcharion, Aranel journeyed often between the shifting dunes and the halls of Eldaron Erua, gathering oral accounts and magical relics from the survivors of the Sundering. She ventured into the ruins of once-fertile glades and lost elven outposts, coming face to face with remnants of her people's ancient world. In her youth, Aranel was said to have learned directly from wandering geomancers and the enigmatic desert mystics who meditated near Eamon Alar. These encounters deepened her mastery of desert magics and inspired the poetic style of her chronicles, the most renowned being Tales from Eldaron Erua: Chronicle of the Starlit Watchtower. Through detailed observation and a gift for lyrical prose, she immortalized the rituals, hardships, and quiet triumphs of the Llwcharion.

Lightleaf's original manuscript for "Tales from Eldaron Erua: Chronicle of the Starlit Watchtower" still exists in its original form and is believed to be archived in the annals of the library in Gorwyn.

Ailith Sylvanstride is a Fey who is associated with her race’s Seelie Court. She is believed to serve as a diplomatic liaison between the Seelies and several other races and sub-races of Illyria, though her dealings with other peoples in Elgea and the Broken Lands have been sporadic and unplanned, with her unaccounted arrivals described as apparitions rather than diplomatic missions. She is believed to be alive and well to this day in Illyria and has most recently been seen frolicking through the mystical Everspark Woods in Norweld.

Aside from the few recorded encounters that Ailith Sylvanstride has had with various people of Illyria, little else is known of her adventures and encounters. It is believed that she has served as a kind of emissary for the Seelie Court for well over 100 years, with all of her apparitions resulting in perceived strengthening with the Fey, as well as an enhancement of factions’ farms and woodlands.

She has had few interactions, but the few she has had are notable, including Merric Bramblefoot, Chief Beer Taster and Deal-maker, and the renowned Halfling diplomat and revered lorekeeper of the Keepers of the Golden Fields; Belatorix Roshan, Chief Druid of the people of Kildarran; Batu Khatan, Chief Diplomat of the Apaxu; Thalindra Mossgrovev, purported High Druidess of the Sylvans; and Faelithra Nightshade, Mistress of Whispers for the Unseelie Court.

She is also known to have appeared in front of various elven courts, as well as a rumored apparition in front of King Sigurd and his court.

There are many tales of Ailith Sylvanstride still yet to be shared -- words too numerous to present here.
