| | |
| Miriel Hana tel'Suzail, now [[PCs:Xilo'rulithii|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 [[Guild:Sentinels|Sentinel]] or in [[Guild:BlueOrder|Blue Order]] mage robes, as appropriate. Apart from this formal attire, her wardrobe includes elegant, if austere cuts of [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/Junk/?g2_page=4 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 [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/MirielsJournal/RosyCheeks.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alto 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|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.

| | |
| | |
| ==== Family and Friends ====
| |
| </center>
| |
| [[PCs:Aman'dul Xilo'rulithii|Aman'dul Xilo'rulithii]] ''(Deceased)'' - Miriel and Amand Xilo spend two decades as husband and wife, from 2163 until Amand's death in 2185.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Aurelinis Xilo'rulithii|Aurelinis'liandu Xilo'rulithii]] and [[PCs:Orostau Nilnoste Xilo'rulithii|Orostau Nilnoste - Xilo'rulithii]] - Miriel accepts Amand's brother Aurelinis and his second wife as close family.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Vesdrac Noss'tau|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.
| |
| | |
| [[NPCs:Helene Stillwater|Helene Stillwater]] ''((NPC))'' - After a series of tragic events at the [[The Village of Blandenberg|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".
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Aerill Ailpera|Aerill Ailpera]] and [[PCs:Fealith_Anifail|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Ialath Fentellon|Ialath Fentellon]] - Ialath and Miriel arrive in Visimontium while the city is still being built, as senior mage and apprentice of the [[Guild:AshenOrder|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 [[Miriel's_Guide_to_Visimontium#The_Academy_District|Academy District]] of Visimontium - just across "Truely Sweets".
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Imoth|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Tericky_Bendt|Tericky Bendt]] ''(Deceased)'' and [[PCs:Erendhl Eleashal|Ere'n'dhl El'eash'al]] ''(Deceased)'' - In the sunset of their lives, the mage of the Ashen Order Tericky, and the [[Guild:Healers_of_Cha'reth|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Tralil|Tralil Breck]] and [[PCs:Elgos Longstride|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Delaroweil Hend|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Kate Benneset|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Arania Moonshadow|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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Sable the White|Sable]] and [[PCs:Tyedu Shadowwalker|Shadow]] - For many years Miriel is tentatively tolerated amongst the [[Guild:FuryofRa-Ghul|Fury of Ra-Ghul]] as [[PCs:Whisper|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.

| ==== The Four ====
| |
| </center>
| |
| 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:
| |
| : [[PCs:Anomandaari|Anomandaari]] - The Philosopher, also known as The Pilgrim or Dust, whom Miriel calls "Haloisi" in her native tongue.
| |
| : [[PCs:Ath'Nook_Nekk'en|Ath'nook Nekk'en]] - The Red Warrior, a Githzerai hunter also known as The Red One or The Crimson. ''(Ascended)''
| |
| : [[PCs:Hebrin_Maul|Hebrin Maul]] - The Grandmaster of the monk [[Guild:OrderoftheDragon|Order of the Dragon]], also known as The Maul, whom The Philosopher calls "The Sitting Dragon".
| |
| : [[PCs:Miriel_Hana_Xilo'rulithii#Appearance|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.
