History:
Beren was born with the expectation that he would succeed his parents in ruling the realm upon his parents' retirement or death. Thus, he has been under tremendous pressure to serve his people well. Though he has friends, particularly in the nobility that he grew up alongside of, he has always taken his duties seriously. His dedication did not come unnoticed and throughout the realm, he has the reputation of a serious but devoted ruler. Though he was expected to marry out of political necessity, Beren surprised everyone, including himself, when he fell for Ice, a half-elf daughter of a nobleman. With her, Beren felt happy and at ease, a rare occurrence outside his interactions with his parents. Soon enough, they married despite the scandal and now he has become king. As trouble looms over the horizon, Beren resolves to protect his love and his people.
Personality:
Beren is a serious but kind individual. Though he expects a lot from his people, he expects more from himself. When it comes to his duties, he is determined to conduct himself honorably. He abhors cruelty and greed and takes delight in beauty and nature. He also loves military strategy and practicing combat. When it comes to outsiders, he is wary and will often put his people first. He can be stubborn when he makes a decision and is seldom moved. There is, however, a gentle side of him that comes out when he's around people he loves and animals. He dislikes hunting but will do when necessary and despises it when people waste any part of the animal or treat it with disrespect. He loves the forest and dislikes other kingdoms who take liberties with nature, particularly nature under his protection.
Love Interest: Ice Kirana

Keiran Ogygia


Liridale. Everyone warned Keiran not go go there. It was an evil place, they said. He could be killed or worse, they said. For his part, Keiran ignored the warnings. He was warned about the surface too and that didn't stop him. Besides, he knew enough stories to avoid the danger: don't eat a house that was magically made out of candy, don't sell your donkey for magic beans, don't make a deal with forces you can't begin to comprehend, etc. Unfortunately, he forgot the ones about trolls eating merman soup.

"Ow! You know, maybe you can turn the fire down just a tad. I mean, I like a warm bath as much as the next guy, but this is getting a little ridiculous," Keiran told the cook from within the kettle of water he was currently in. The troll looked at him dumbly before stomping on the fire, causing him a yelp.

"You idiot! I told you not to listen to his voice," one of his hosts scolded. He glanced at them. Three in all. Now, why was three trolls eating someone familiar? Oh, yes. It was the most cliche story he knew. Quietly, he hummed, creating the illusion the water was boiling even as he hid his summoning of burst of water to put out the fire from their sight. Okay, as long as he hummed, they would think he was being cooked. Wonderful.

Beren Kiran


The King of the Elvae stood in front his palace, his eyes searching the city and surrounding forest for a certain someone. His daughter had been away for hours. He had already sent out a search party, but he was beginning to worry. Didn't he tell her she could only trust the people within her own kingdom? There were many enemies of the kingdom who would love to take her hostage. A frown marred his handsome face.

"Maedwen, you silly girl," he murmured. Despite her age, he still thought of her as a child. In many ways she was. She did not know of the dangers of the world, no matter how much he lectured her.

Era Kodes, Sorceress of Dunmarr


A stroll through the farmer's market wouldn't hurt. Era thought to herself as she made her way down from deep within the castle. She had been pacing the library for hours. Another sleepless night, messing around with magic out of boredom. She could easily just conjure more food, but it was the idea of going outside that sounded much better. As she made her way into the center square, where the market was, she started to wander around the stands. Other people, working the stands or wandering themselves among the stations of food, bowed before her as she made her way around. Forcing smiles in return to those who acknowledged her presence, she stopped at a small cheese stand.

"Good day my lady!" The person behind the stand spoke, he was an older man who must have lived on the outskirts of the kingdom. If his clothes were any hint. He smiled at her, warm and genuine, and Era returned one that looked similar.

"What kind of cheeses do you make, merchant?" She asked in a sweet hum and he started to prepare samples for her, explaining what each one was. She tasted each one, listening as he went on. It was a nice distraction from her inability to sleep. She hadn't slept for more than an hour the past few nights and it was starting to take tolls on her energy. If she had the emotions, she would probably feel extremely cranky and frustrated. But that wasn't a factor, fortunately.



Ice Kiran, Queen of Elvae



The sound of Beren's mutter drew Ice closer out onto the outer steps of the palace. "Maedwen, you silly girl," Ice frowned a little, knowing that he must be growing more worried for every minute that she was gone. Ice felt the same way, but had always figured that she would show at some point or another. If she didn't return by the dead of night, it was then that she would worry as much as Beren was now. Ice stepped just to his side, her hand on his shoulder as she looked out in front of her.

"She will be home. If not, then we can send more parties, and go look for ourselves." She said in a gentle voice, as she gave his shoulder a small squeeze. Her patience had a long way to go before it wore thin over their daughter's whereabouts. Of course, there was always a hint of worry inside of her for every minute Maedwen was even awake. What kind of mother would she be if she didn't worry at all? Ice's hand slid down his arm gently before finding itself in front of her, folded with her other hand.

"What kind of adventures do you think she has gotten herself into, today?" She asked with a small smile in an attempt to lighten the mood. It was a little weak, but it was better than nothing.

Keiren Ogygia


"Storyteller!"

Keiran's eyes widened. There was someone who recognized him all the way out in this gods-forsaken kingdom? He watched as one of the trolls dragged a mermaid towards the pot. He almost stopped humming in surprise. The Princess! What cruel fate brought her here? He watched in admiration as she sent the water from the pot at the trolls and he dearly wished that it was boiling. At her words, he nodded and dried himself with the towel. He ran after her as he did so, his legs forming from fins.

"You have excellent timing, Princess," he told her, grimacing as he heard the outraged roars of his would-be-cooks. He shook his head, "Not that I'm not grateful, but why are you in this country? The stories are right. It is dangerous."

Not that he had room to talk. He frowned as he heard the trolls approach. He took out his flute.

"I will hide us from sight, though I cannot disguise the song," he told her before blowing into his flute, producing a simple tune as he and Aleiia-Serria faded into thin air.

Beren Kiran


Beren relaxed slightly as he heard his wife approach. She was the one thing he had been willing to be completely selfish about. He didn't care how many nobles he offended by marrying her. She understood him and he loved her dearly. It angered him how she was treated by the stuck-up mages of her birth country. It confirmed his suspicions of the other nations. At her words, he smiled slightly.

"She is probably watching the animals. Goddess knows she loves them."

Ice Kiran, Queen of Elvae


"She is probably watching the animals. Goddess knows she loves them." Ice nodded at his words as she started down the front steps slowly. She owed a visit to the animals herself, it had been quite some time since she had seen them last. She stopped just a few steps before the bottom and turned to look up at Beren.

"We will ride out at dusk if she does not return, yes?" She asked. She didn't want to go a sleepless night because their daughter had not returned home, nor did she want to have to worry about her daughter in the dark forest lit only by moonlight. She watched him as she waited for a response, but continued down the steps in a backwards motion. For now, she would roam the palace, in awaiting her daughter's return. A visit to the animals could wait a little longer, although she aspired to see them greatly.



Katrin Bade, Queen of Arvale


Katrin had been roaming the gardens when she had heard news of an arrival of Sir Demetri. She had made her way to the front of the castle in what seemed to be the nick of time. She saw her husband standing before Demetri and what looked to be a girl from the same realm that Demetri had come from. "What has happened? Where did she come from? Why did you bring her here?" Her husband had spoken as Katrin approached to stand along side him.

She had arrived in just enough time to hear Demetri's explanation. "Well, A portal opened just like when I came through, She came from where I come from. OtherWorld as you called it and I brought her here because as you can see she's human. In order to keep her safe, Nieve, thought it would be best if she said here, in Aravale, she'd blend in better, just as I did." Katrin let out a small sigh as she glanced at her husband. She was okay with new guests, and always welcomed them. But the worry of what they were capable of causing had always crossed her mind. "Bigger probelm though, Nieve says there may be more, possibly three more. They'll be human and the portal hasn't closed." Demetri said, still holding on to the girl. "I think that about covers it." Katrin let out a heavy sigh.

"How is this happening? I thought the portal was safe after you? The could be in grave danger… or even, they could be dangerous." Katrin frowned as all possibilities started to cross her mind. She turned towards Theordred. "What if more keep coming?" She asked, her voice now full of worry as her hands unconsciously tangled together in front of her.

Keiren Ogygia


"What are you doing out here, Storyteller? Have you not been to Liridale before? I've heard it in your tales?"

Keiren smiled at Aleiia sheepishly. He shook his head, "Tales get around. I heard those stories from another storyteller who most likely heard it from another. I wanted to see this land for myself. It's.... A lot like the tales but worse if you can imagine it."

He followed after the princess as they traveled through the caves. Where could Nerine be. To lighten the mood, he smiled at his companion.

"You can call me Keiren, by the way."

Beren Kiran


"We will ride out at dusk if she does not return, yes?"

"Yes. We shall," Beren told her. He listened to his wife's footsteps fade as he allowed himself to lose himself in his thoughts. Relations between the other kingdoms were deteriorating. True, they had always been fragile, but now, it would only take a small spark to light the fires of war.

Era Kodes, Sorceress of Dunmarr


Era started to make her way back into the palace, her walk and made her a little more tired than she was before. Except it still was not enough to sleep, that was for sure. She made her way into her chambers only to find herself pacing before making her way into the library. She had always gone to the library when she grew impatient, and this was another one of those times. After making her way into the maze of shelves, Era started to toy with her abilities. Cojuring a large dark purple mass of ice that had a rounded top to it, with two arms that had cuffs of armor around the wrists. It seemed to hover slightly, but the creature soon melted and soaked into the wooden floor only seconds later.

It was a new spell she had been having trouble with, and she frowned when it once again failed. Era started digging around on the shelves to find the spell book she had used to create the spell in the first place.



Katrin Bade, Queen of Arvale


"So my dear shall I clear the rest of my schedule and walk through the garden with you. We can do like we did when my brother was king and we were just courting each other." Katrin smiled at his words, flattered. A small blush surfaced on her cheeks as she took in his smile and nodded at his mention.

"Let us stroll. I cannot remember the last time we had done such a thing." She said as she reflected on the warm memory, taking it in and enjoying it. She had moved her arms up to twine around the nape of his neck after some moments. Katrin stepped back slowly, one of her hands slid down onto his shoulder, then down his arm all the way to his hand, taking it in hers. She started to lead him off to the gardens with steps that seemed to hit the ground a lot lighter and with more bounce.



Ice Kiran, Queen of Elvae


It had been a nice roam about the castle, but night was growing on the area slowly and she started to worry. It was coming close to the time that they would go out and search for her, which she had hoped wouldn't have come to happen. Biting her lip as she made her way back to the front of the palace, Ice let out a small sigh. Deciding to stall a little more on time, Ice made her way towards the stables to have the horses readied.

As she walked rather slowly, she made sure to keep an eye out for their daughter. She hoped in the back of her mind that Ice hadn't seen her come home and she was already back and safe. Although it was rather doubtful since the guards would have alerted her if she had returned.

Keiren Ogygia


Beren listened to the Midgard Serpent, in awe despite the current situation. He had never seen such a creature in all his years under the Sea or outside of it. He listened as Aleiia spoke with it, though it appeared to be hesitant in putting the princess in danger, which was understandable. He may well have felt the same in its place. Perhaps a little charm was in order. He bowed.

"Oh, Great Midgard Serpent! We are thankful for your concern about our lives, but we cannot abandon a friend and ally. For, what is a future ruler of a kingdom if she will not risk herself to save even a dear friend? I, of course, pledge to defend Princess Aleiia-Serria with my life, but maybe you can be of some assistance as well. Great Serpent, will you not lead us to Miss Nerine? Surely you are more protection than we will ever need."

As he spoke, Beren allowed a little of his magic to seep in his voice. Not enough to dominate it, but make it more inclined to listen.

Beren Kiran


As dusk approached, Beren gathered a retinue of his royal guards. His daughter was still not home and he was determined to find her. He nodded at his wife as she approached. His expression softened, if only for a moment.

"Do not worry, my Queen. I am certain our daughter is well," he told his wife. He kept to himself the promise that if Maedwen was threatened, no force in this world would stay his hand from punishing those who would harm her. When Ice sat upon her steed, he signalled the others to follow him as he urged his own steed to canter in the direction of a section of the forest that was near Elvae's borders, the place Maedwen most often frequented.

Ice Kiran, Queen of Elvae


"Do not worry, my Queen. I am certain our daughter is well," Ice nodded in response just moments before hopping onto her horse. She had pulled herself up in one full motion. When Beren started off, Ice followed in a canter with ease. She was a good rider, which aided her well in circumstances like these. She figured the first place that they would check would be the area their daughter had gone most often, but Ice couldn't help but wonder the other places she might typically go.
