Myrielle Ariaden

• Name: Myrielle Ariaden
• Age: 19
• Hobbies: Collecting and restoring sunken treasures
• Likes: Lire Eryuell, the envoy’s souvenirs
• Dislikes: Embedded knowledge, those who ignore effort For the elves of Eryuell Island, the Spirit Tree Forest was like a childhood playground. They naturally learned how to commune with spirits by climbing and playing among trees imbued with spiritual energy. When they ran, the wind would push gently at their backs; when they leapt, the grass and leaves would lift them higher. Even their arrows would fly farther, guided by unseen hands of nature. For an elven ranger, communion with the spirits was an essential skill.

But Myrielle’s spiritual connection developed more slowly than that of other children. It wasn’t because she lacked talent, quite the opposite. Even without a spirit’s aid, she could climb the tallest trees faster than anyone and shoot her arrows farther than any of her peers. Purely through her own strength, Myrielle excelled in every ranger discipline: scouting, tracking, and marksmanship, becoming someone her peers admired. Had Lire not grown into her rival as a Wind Walker through her own bond with the spirits, Eryuell Island might have become a place where communion with spirits was seen as unnecessary, a forgotten tradition left behind by the island’s ace ranger.
