Appearance

Please note: Miriel does not normally use her maiden name - Hana - since 2006 RL. Please only use it if you have learned it IC-ly. Thank you.

Miriel Hana tel'Suzail, now Xilo'rulithii, is a familiar figure in Visimontium from the early days of the Holy City of Andrinor - the middle of the XXII century after the Age of Peace. She still is very young for an elf, keeping her hair cut short in a boyish manner. Once silver, her hair has now turned mostly white, as a bitter counterpoint of her youth. Miriel is skinny and unusually pale, if quick to blush. Those who chance to see her bare skin at night can see it reflecting the moonlight like mother-of-pearl.

Miriel's face is framed in an expresionless mask, her smile is seldom welcoming. Her argentine eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare. The numerous silver piercings on her ears, nose, tongue and chin catch the eye, as well as her ability to disappear for the naked eye around the nearest corner. Despite the impression of frailty about her body, Miriel often surprises the onlookers with lightning fast reflexes, physical versatility and endurance.

Miriel walks the streets of Visimontium wearing the light red and black uniform of a Sentinel or in Blue Order mage robes, as appropriate. Apart from this formal attire, her wardrobe includes elegant, if austere cuts of clothing of her own making. Miriel has preserved one element from her more frivolous fashion history, that being her collection of shoes and boots. Always eye-catching, though never flamboyant, they are of varying heel height, making it tricky to pinpoint her actual stature at a glance. She appears to be around 4'10" at less than 90 lbs; definitely smaller than the average elven female.

Although many remember her in the holy vestments of Vorin, as the turn of the XXXIIIrd century draws close Miriel is seen wearing the holy periapt of Andrinor openedly; That or a modest silver necklace adourned by a small bright ruby which she appears to be unusually fond of. At all times two silver rings are strung on the pendant that she wears. Early into her widowhood a blackish gash on her hand appears, taking several years to heal. The scar left is now the dividing line of the stylized image of Ra-Ghul's masked face, inked on the inside of her palm.

Miriel's voice is a light alto, bearing a soft rasp which quickly becomes a croak in the rare case when she speaks aloud. As of present day, she uses solely gestures and no words to cast spells; Her movements while spellcasting are somewhat restrained, forceful, carried out with painstaking concentration. She is known to employ a melodious semblance of the Drangonari language in her everyday speech. Those who can recognise it may also be able to discern her origin, as Miriel visibly differs from most Avlissian elves.

View the surviving pages

Family and Friends

Aman'dul Xilo'rulithii (Deceased) - Miriel and Amand Xilo spend two decades as husband and wife, from 2163 until Amand's death in 2185.

Aurelinis'liandu Xilo'rulithii and Orostau Nilnoste - Xilo'rulithii - Miriel accepts Amand's brother Aurelinis and his second wife as close family.

Vesdrac Noss'tau - When asked what has urged her to associate with yet another infamous member of the Ebony, Miriel invariably replies that he is the only one she trusts as much as Amand Xilo, - Miriel's late husband and Vesdrac's mentor. Whatever she means by that is open to interpretation.

Helene Stillwater ((NPC)) - After a series of tragic events at the Blandenberg Orphanage, Miriel takes 14-years-old Helene as her apprentice in the Arcane Arts in the spring of 2206. While Miriel insists on being refered to as Helene's mentor or custodian, her fondness to the girl is obvious. In her adulthood, even after joining the Ebony Order, Helene addresses Miriel as "mother".

Aerill Ailpera and Fealith Anifail - To Miriel, the two are not merely her commanders within the Visimontium Sentinels. She accepts their advice and guidance as if from family elders, and often can be found around them in casual conversation.

Ialath Fentellon - Ialath and Miriel arrive in Visimontium while the city is still being built, as senior mage and apprentice of the Ashen Order of the Stars. Often they speak in one voice, showing unique alikeness of mind, even after their lifepaths take radically different directions. They share "The Retreat", a house in the Academy District of Visimontium - just across "Truely Sweets".

Imoth - Miriel meets Imoth during her first months on Avlis, around the Ashen Order tower in Elysia. Imoth has kept Miriel under her wing ever since, often calling her "dottir". Miriel returns the favour by refering to Imoth as to her step-mother.

Aria Ashby - Aria encounters Miriel during her travels around the earthbergs of Hala in the plane of Ysgard. Miriel joins her on Aria's journey home (Elysia, Avlis) in the winter of 2148, and remains on Avlis to this very day. Their work affiliations keep them far apart more often than not, although distance hardly matters between true friends.

Tericky Bendt (Deceased) and Ere'n'dhl El'eash'al (Deceased) - In the sunset of their lives, the mage of the Ashen Order Tericky, and the Healer Ere'n'dhl have been the people remaining mostly close to Miriel in tumultous times. To this very day she speaks their names with reverence.

Delaroweil Hend - What begins as an acquintanceship between a student and a master arcanist of the Blue Order of the Sky, blossoms into a starlit path: One to be walked by a Moon Elf and a Half-Fey.

Kate Benneset (K'Tomma) - Miriel can often be seen in the company of the "ice witch" whenever she visits Mikona. The two widows appear to be close friends. Miriel looks up to Kate as to the older and more experienced woman she can learn from.

Arania Moonshadow - Upon a prolonged absence from the southernlands, the famous bard of Ferrell is in for a surprise. The frail elven girl she knows Miriel to be is now a hardened young woman, who quickly reaches out to Arania as to a trustworthy partner in the games of life.

Sable and Shadow - For many years Miriel is tentatively tolerated amongst the Fury of Ra-Ghul as Whisper's blood sister, yet the shamaness Sable and the warrior Shadow take one step further and accept her as a close friend as well. This tie has not weakened, even after Miriel's presence causes enmity amongst the Fury and Whisper severs the blood bond.

Tralil Breck and El'gos Longstride - Miriel would mostly mention those two Ivory Order magi as her mentors in Fatespinning. Both Tralil and El'gos however address Miriel as "ooktan" (Nanshilae for "sister"), and treat her as such.

The Four

Four individuals - some of whom have known each other for long, some not, - get together around the beginning of the XXIIIrd century after the Age of Peace. The four are Miriel and three seekers of knowledge and enlightenment:

Anomandaari - The Philosopher, also known as The Pilgrim or Dust, whom Miriel calls "Haloisi" in her native tongue.

Ath'nook Nekk'en - The Red Warrior, a Githzerai hunter also known as The Red One or The Crimson. (Ascended)

Hebrin Maul - The Grandmaster of the monk Order of the Dragon, also known as The Maul, whom The Philosopher calls "The Sitting Dragon".

Miriel Xilo herself - The Sage, also called "Little Willow" by The Philosopher, and "The Unmasked One" by The Red Warrior.

Hebrin and Miriel walk hand in hand of late, and show all the signs of being as close as a man and a woman can be.

If someone steps on a kitten in Visimontium, Miriel blames herself.

- Hebrin Maul on Miriel Xilo, c. 2205

If ya's gonna give me a hug from over that far off, might as well be a
"Naked, sweaty, dirty, drunk, drugged-up, tied-up, loosened up, hump hug."

- Angus Blacksail on Miriel Xilo, c. 2200

My friend is short and to the point
That's Miriel Xilo...
I'm sure she means no great offense,
It's how she says "Hello!"

- Adagio D'Tranticus on Miriel Xilo, c. 2180

This young elf has the annoying habit to demand a lot more of your time than you really want.
Perhaps that is a sign of significance - time will show.

- Krator Blackfist on young Miriel Hana, c. 2160
