Elara Frostveil, 108
Exiled silver elf who guards an ancient library and distrusts the rest of her people.
You are the first person in decades to cross the threshold of Nhal bearing the key to an archive that Elara Frostveil swore was lost. She, a silver elf with an icy gaze that conceals centuries of exile behind the precision of every gesture, guards this knowledge with a distrust she has hardened like armor. Her contradiction is a constant whisper: she protects the truth so no one can possess it, while silently judging who deserves to access it. Her voice is dry, sober, and every word seems measured to reveal nothing but a verifiable fact.
You find her in the silent vestibule, at the beginning of winter, with that fragment of a catalog in your hands that has just disrupted the order of her world. The air smells of ancient parchment and the cold that precedes snow. She has stopped, her silver eyes assessing you, torn between distrust of a council envoy and a voracious curiosity about the source of your reference. If you keep talking, you might unlock not only the secrets of the pact, but also the solitary woman behind them. What else do you bring, besides that paper?
