Lethariel

Early Life and Move to Loveria

Lethariel (165 years old) is an Elf who left her homeland many decades ago. She did not leave because she was kicked out, and she was not looking for dangerous adventures. Instead, she was fascinated by how fast humans change and develop.

She decided to move to the city of Korint in order to expand her knowledge on humans. As the typical inhabitants of the city of Korint have the reputation of being strange she became obsessed with their interactions, languages, cultures, and stories, which she loved to study.

Career and Philosophy

Lethariel works as a translator and interpreter. She helps local merchants talk and do business with traders from other countries.

She believes that language is important because it shows how different people think. Her most famous personal rule about her work is:

"Every translation loses something. Your task is deciding what may be lost."

Personal Life

While working on the Coastal Mapping project to translate old Elven sea diaries, Lethariel met a human mapmaker named Aldren. They spent weeks debating and comparing her historical notes with his modern measurements.

Through these arguments, they discovered that the coastline had changed over time. Lethariel fell in love with Aldren because they enjoyed thinking and solving problems together. They got married and have a half-elf daughter named Ycre.
