Personal Information

Full Name
Elterys Mheadros
Description
Elterys is a lithely built Elf, powerful in the same way a leopard is. Sleek and powerful. He bears a proud and noble visage, for in him runs the blood of Ancient Elven nobility. His hair is silvery blonde, and is long, flowing to his shoulderblades. His personality is dominated by a fierce love of his homeland and kin. His pride in who he is. His skill with a bow is legendary, and his skill with a long leaf-headed spear comes close, for these skills have been honed over the centuries of his life. He enjoys reading the histories of his people, and engages in debate with scholars at the Library, as well as human ambassadors in the capitol. He is currently unwed, for he has married his life in service to the Elven Crown by serving as the commander of the newly formed Grey Guard, a company of the finest Elven warriors who garb themselves in the heaviest armor the Elven smiths can fashion, a mix of hardened leather and silver chainmail, topped with a silvery conical helmet. They are equipped with massive war-bows and gently curved long-swords for close combat. The Guard was formed in response to the rumblings of war coming from the south, and in answer to the strange tidings coming from small hamlets. Elterys formed the unit on his own coin, and swore allegiance to the crown once more. He is now one of the more powerful nobles in the Elven nobility, and this is beginning to worry the paranoid King, leading to tensions there...

Past History
____________________
Elterys was born the first-born son of Lord Merystan of Himring, he had a good childhood, but one filled with hard work. Back at this point Merystan was a firm believer in self-perfection, and he drove his son hard. To master reading, the bow, the spear, accounting, everything that he would need as lord. And master them he did. At the age of 250, Merystan stepped down and gave lordship of Himring over to Elterys in order to pursue his dream of being a scholar. Thus did Elterys come to power, and he took to it like a fish to water. He increased his strength dramatically with cunning maneuvering in the world of politics. He outsmarted rivals, and thus was granted title March-Warden, meaning he could marshall all troops in the North for the defense of the realm. With this powerful title collected, he gathered more and more strength to himself, placing him in the top ten most powerful Elves in Eldanoore. Then, he waited. Now, he has gathered a hundred and fifty of the finest warriors in his land and named them the Grey Guard, basing them off of Ethiafell's ranger corps. Except the Guard were more heavily armored, armed, and capable, for they had centuries of experience for the most part. They are loyal to Elterys, and Elterys alone.
