Ellori grew up in a small farming village called Naiah in the heart of Eviara. Naiah is a matriarchal town with a focus on storytelling, where everyone’s stories become intertwined in the community. Ellori’s grandmother – Idra Realtanam – is the leader of the village and everyone’s Grandma. Pure of heart and spirit and strength, she is sensitive and kind, full of stories and song. She has an -ism for everything and the whole village tries to live her advice to the fullest. A master storyteller, she has kept the tradition alive in Naiah for over a hundred years.
Naiah’s citizens follow the Argrestal Spirit through the Heart of Creation, and throw massive festivals for First Lanaren and First Fom each year. These festivals are week-long events that highlight all of the talents of the citizens. At a young age, everyone is encouraged to test out different forms of storytelling – dance, art, song, crafting, theatre, etc, to find the concentration that suits them best.
Ellori’s mom, Faile, has a concentration in weaving, and her dad, Caghan, has a concentration in dance. Ellori chose a concentration of music almost as soon as they put an instrument in her hands. They are a family full of love, but Faile and Caghan hold high expectations for Ellori and her success, as leadership of the village will be passed down to her one day.
When Ellori was four, a band of vampires came through and attacked the village. Ellori, her grandmother, and both of her parents were turned vampyr, as well as a majority of the village. Several villagers died, and some remained fully human, but the whole village embraced the need for blood and worked towards a way the vampyr could be sated through their farming practices. They put more emphasis on their animal breeding and scaled down produce farming.
All villagers are encouraged to leave Naiah when they turn 30 to find a new story to bring back to the village. If they find a path that would keep them away, they’re encouraged to follow it as long as they promise to return periodically with new tales. In the couple years before leaving, Ellori noticed that her grandmother had been starting to lose some of the older stories due to the fading. Ellori’s first focus was learning them herself, but without being able to study decades of lore, she decided to use her pilgrimage to chase a cure. Out on her pilgrimage she met Skarpin, the two of them bonding over the uniqueness of their not-quite-alive, not-quite-undead situations. They followed a flyer to Deeran’s Truth Seeker meeting where they met him and Belroth and the rest? Well, the rest is her story.
Ellori's Wisdom
- If there's dancing in your heart, then you should put that dancing in your feet.[1]
