Physical description:

Aldir’tor stands at around 198 centimeters (6’6). He has bright green eyes with thick dark blonde eyebrows and long straight blonde hair. He is frail and may come off as physically weak on first sight. He prefers to wear his official magister's outfit in the colors of his house. Besides that he has a wide range of more of loosely fitting clothes he sometimes wears on his free days. Yet it is a rare sight to see him outside his beloved blue robes. Whenever he leaves his room he decorates his head with a elegant silver or golden crown carefully crafted by the jewellers of the ancient elven realm of Tetheris the first. He does not wear any jewellery besides the white golden wedding ring he has decorating his finger.

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 mundane topics and tends to endlessly contemplate any question he gets presented. This indecisiveness has proven to be an issue for Aldir’tor during the times of the Rotting 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 research 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 his realm. While crops were withering away and the cattle and steeds of the enclave were literally rotting away in their pens, he was unsure what the right course of action would be. He locked himself in his private study and resorted to conducting research, looking for ancient tomes describing the plagues from ages past and how previous Therri'cill's handled those situations.

Like many of his family before him, Aldir'tor is also a prideful man who believes that his bloodline has the divine right to rule the Enlightened Kingdom. He is a devoted believer in the Elven Pantheon and the supreme position of the Mother within it. But despite his seemingly strong outlook on any outsider. He is a deeply emotional person in private spheres. One thing that has been haunting his mind since 1525 is the sudden severe unknown illness his beloved wife A’mos got afflicted by. He had to single handily raise his three children and rule the lands without her guiding hand. This exhausting period of his life took a heavy toll on him and it made him realize that he would not be able to pursue his dreams of exploring the secrets of the Aether realm while also taking care of his family and kingdom. After his wife recovered from her illness, Aldir’tor had developed a more retreated lifestyle. He preferred to spend more and more time away in his study, endlessly researching the teachings of ancient Aeromancers because he wanted to know the true secrets of magic. He hopes that by doing so, he may one day find the ultimate knowledge on how to finally rid the world of the forces of the voidal realms once and for all.

This new Aldir’tor had a high toll on his family life who grew distant from him. He simply allowed this to happen since he was so drained from the previous period of his life that he could not endure any more social interactions besides the bare minimum. Now after he has had some helpful conversations with the Scinar Kharis about his state of being, he carefully started rebuilding the bonds that he had with his family. And despite it still being difficult for him, he feels a strong desire to do so as under the thick wall he built between himself and them, he still loves them dearly.

History:

Aldir’tor was born and raised within the confines of the 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 stay up and retreat to his study after he children and wife retreat to their chambers. 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 during the years of the Rotting Plague.

• 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 tradition.
