Elia Sv'intas

Description
Elia was born somewhere in the northern forests. She was short, even for an elf. Her wild, red hair complimented her golden, reddish skin in all light.

Life
Elia left her Elfstead as soon as she was permitted. She took her natural talents with blade and bow into the bigger world. For some years she took up with a band of adventurers known as The Golden Way. She grew bored of their squabbles and moved from band to band as the winds took her.

One of these bands had a significant haul in a dungeon near the town of Springdale. The group rolled into town for supplies and drinks at the tavern. Elia rolled into the 2nd tavern of the evening and saw something that would change her life forever.

All 220 lbs of the muscular Rigot Danvers stood bare chested, helping out a local gnome inventor install a fan system. Elia knew love for the first time in her long life. The bards say she drank dwarven ale with Rigot for the entire night, a drink she was famous for hating. Several months later they were married.

Death
5 years later their lives were shattered. That story is told as the legend of The Rest of Elia.
