Physical description:
Aldir’tor stands at around 195 centimeters (6’6). He has bright green eyes with thick dark silver eyebrows and long straight silver hair. He is frail and may come off as physically weak on first sight. His long body is covered with all kinds of expensive clothes. He prefers blue and black robes with a lavender mantle to finish it off. A Golden crown decorated with little bright sapphire crystals rests on his head. He often wears half gloves and his fingers are decorated with all kinds of jewellery.
Characteristics:
Aldir’tor has the attitude and insightfulness of a mage destined. He is extremely thorough and calculating in nature. He will never answer a question straight. He loves to discuss and debate for hours over seemingly minor topics and tends to endlessly contemplate about making the right decisions. This indecisiveness has proven to be an issue for Aldir’tor during the times of the Rotten Plague. It was he who was in charge of the Luminous Enclave at that time. This was because his father was on a pilgrimage to Hadriana to do research on the plague and try to discover a cure. While that was happening, Aldir’tor was very slow to react to the destructive rampage that the plague was on in his realm. While crops we’re withering away and the cattle and steeds of the enclave we’re dying, he was unsure what the right call would be. He locked himself in his personal quarters, reading history books to find examples of plagues in the past and how nations reacted to it. All this to find out what the right call would be.
History:
Aldir’tor was born and raised in the Silver Court of the Luminous Enclave. As the only child of Therri’cill Aethis I Zaithrall, the future of the Luminous Enclave was in his hands from the very beginning. Most of his youth consisted of endless study and training with the other noble boys to one day become a knight of Aerial, as was the duty of every noble of the Luminous Enclave.
What did become clear rather fast was that Aldir’tor greatly preferred his books over the sword. While he failed at every task during his military training, he excelled in college. He quickly became very knowledgeable in History of the Azari’cill, art, astrology and even the arts of the Arcane. Thus his career path was chosen for him. He would not ride with the other nobility in a knights regiment besides ceremonial affairs, but he would be trained in the arts of magic. All this did not stop Aldir’tor from going on little personal voyages all throughout Eden. Aldir’tor was extremely impulsive in nature and didn’t really think things through before suddenly deciding to go on another rather dangerous adventure.
After he finished college, he would receive the family heirloom from his now aging father. The Zaithrall heirloom is the ancient staff that was used by Tetheris himself during the Age of Fallen Spires. He would continue his studies of the arcane to this day and is now widely known as a master spellcaster in the elven realms.
While this was all going on, Aldir’tor did have a social life besides his life as a prince. He loved hanging out with his friends and family in the city tavern and started to develop a personal relationship with a temple girl from a young age. The temple girl, Erinae Lazaru, was not impressed with the royal titles that Aldir’tor wore, and treated him like any other Elf in the Luminous enclave, to the annoyance of Aldir’tor. He would prefer to be treated like the prince he is. This annoyance turned into a friendship in their early teens and later into a more personal relationship. Sadly his first wife died shortly after they married.
Nowadays Aldir’tor lives a life of luxery in the newly established city of Luminion. He attempted to lay down his position of Therri'cill in the earlier months of 1522. Yet he was forced to return to the throne after the Council of Princes asked for his return in the later stages of Eldrin's rebellion.
Trivia:
- Aldir’tor is a night person. He likes to be awake and studying while others sleep. It was a habit he had acquired in his youth when he had difficulty sleeping because of the everlasting unrest in his head keeping him awake.
- Aldir’tor was the first Therri’cill to deny the wife candidate that the temple presented after he became the Therri’cill elect. His first wife, Erinae died shortly after they married. Some say this was a punishment from the mother for breaking traditions.
