Personal history

Lysiander was born into the noble Eladrin court of the Feywild, a realm of eternal seasons and whimsical magic. As a young noble, he was known for his quick wit and mischievous nature, traits that often led him into trouble but also endeared him to many. During his early years, Lysiander befriended an unusual creature - a fairy dragon named Zephyr. This tiny, iridescent dragon became his constant companion and confidant. Through their friendship, Lysiander learned to speak Draconic, a skill rare among the Eladrin. Zephyr often regaled him with tales of the greater dragons and their significant role in shaping various realms.   As Lysiander grew older, his spring/summer aspect became more prominent, amplifying his impulsive and playful nature. It was during one of these moods that he made a fateful mistake. At a grand feast in the Fey Court, Lysiander, got caught up in his emotions and slipped a love potion into the drink of Titaina.   The consequences were immediate and severe. The court was thrown into chaos, and Lysiander's actions were deemed a serious breach of trust and decorum. As punishment, he was banished from the FeyCourt for 100 years.   Exiled from the court, he went to the mortal realm of Nehwon, Lysiander found himself unwanting to change his winter aspect, his sadness and regret manifesting physically. His once vibrant demeanor gave way to a more melancholic state, his hair turning white and his eyes a piercing blue.   However, fate had more in store for him. The Fey Court, recognizing the potential value of Lysiander's unique skills and connection to dragon lore, gave him a mission. They had foreseen the coming of dragons to Nehwon and tasked Lysiander with aiding the mortal realm in preparation for this event.   Now, at 80 years old - still young for an Eladrin - Lysiander walks the lands of Nehwon. He serves as a Warcleric, using his divine powers and fey heritage to gather information and prepare for the dragons' arrival. His knowledge of Draconic and the lore learned from Zephyr prove invaluable in this task.   Lysiander's journey is one of redemption and growth. He seeks to prove his worth, not only to his former court but to himself. Each day, he performs small rituals that remind him of his home and heritage, while also embracing his new role in this unfamiliar realm.   As he navigates the complexities of mortal life and the looming draconic prophecy, Lysiander hopes that his actions will not only aid Nehwon but perhaps, one day, earn him forgiveness and a return to his beloved Feywild's Noble Court.
