Airin Ithilur

Details

Airin has brown hair and eyes so dark they can appear almost black, though in the sun they sparkle a chocolate brown. His pointed ears immediately betray his moon elf heritage. In Lemuria, his clothes used to show he grew up on a farm, but now he has exchanged them for traveling clothes.

Airin is a very soft-spoken person. He can be very timid when around strangers, only being his true enthousiastic self once he gets to know someone. Not sure what he wants in life, he’s gone to Al-Qahil to look for the family he’s never met. It’s something he’s scared and nervous about, but at the same time he looks forward to meeting his mother and getting to know her. He’s generally a very happy person and has a calm energy surrounding him. He is a conflict solver, always being able to see from both sides.

As a moon elf, Airin learned how to manipulate water from childhood. While he is alright at this, his expertise lies in changing temperature, and more specifically in ice and cold. He can cool the temperature off something down, cooling water or completely turning it into ice. He mostly uses this to turn water into ice to sell ice cubes and create refrigerator rooms. These rooms are not permanent and after the initial spells, he needs to come by every few weeks or months depending on the size of the room to maintain the temperature. The more the spell is performed, the stronger it becomes and the less he needs to redo the spell. Using his magic often also makes the temperature around him cooler.

Going to Al-Qahil means that he is further away from the source and that his magic is weaker. In Xaila, spells take more of his energy and the ice he makes melts faster. He can not create the same amount of ice he would normally be able to make and because of the heat it naturally melts fast.

While he can also heat water, he only has practiced this enough to be able to boil enough water to cook a meal with. That is, until he goes to Xaila. There his magic will flip around, he'll become weak at creating ice, but stronger at heating water. He won't have much control over this as he hasn't trained in it much and his power for heating water will suddenly increase which he won't know how to handle at the start.

Growing up, Airin was never told about his mother. All he knows is that she'd left his father with a two month old baby and had never looked back. And so, his father had raised his son with the help of his parents. Airin has always had a very close relationship with his father and grandparents, having had a happy childhood at a farm just outside Silvercrest. He has learned water and ice magic from his father and grandmother.

Recently, a conversation with his grandmother has encouraged him to look for his mother's side of the family. After a difficult conversation, he finally convinced his father to give him the name of his mother and the city she probably lives now: Al-Qahil, the place where she was born. Airin has taken the time to say his goodbyes and reassure his family he would send them letters before he left for Xaila.
