Eles Elend



Eles Elend is an old story teller from the town of Nost. His eldest and only surviving son, Ander, is a cripple. His granddaughter, Aashera is a skilled woodswoman. Eles alternates between doting on the girl and pushing her to grow into an independent young woman.

Eles seems rickety and falling apart. His skin hangs loose from rail-thin bones. A stiff breeze might knock him over at any time. His shoulder-length hair is as white as mountain snow, as is a thick goatee with hairs sticking out in a wildly unkempt state. However, something in his eyes, and the easy way he smiles speaks to a hidden strength.

Eles seems to have a healthy contempt for authority and uses his apparent frailty to get away with disparaging Duke Brackard and his men at every chance he gets.
