| ==== Appearance ====
| |
| | |
| Miriel Hana tel'Suzail, at a time [[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<sup><small>nd</small></sup> 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 gleam in the moonlight like mother-of-pearl.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Miriel's face usually bears an expresionless mask, even in her most emotional moments. Her argentine eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare. The numerous silver [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/MirielsJournal/MirielsEarrings.jpg.html 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 clothing of her own making. Her discreet silver earrings are sometimes accompanied by a contrastingly ornate creation worn on either of her ears, a [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/MirielsJournal/MirielsFaerieEarring.jpg.html hoop] with a pixie figurine swinging in it and three blue feathers trailing down from the ruby pinhead. When the occassion demands a more formal approach, Miriel wears pearls. At almost all times a faint scent of wintermint follows her.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Miriel has preserved one element from her more frivolous fashion history, that being her collection of boots. They are of varying heel height, making it tricky to pinpoint her actual stature at a glance. She appears to be 4'10" or less at about 90 lbs; definitely smaller than the average elven female. This is emphasised all the more by the imposing [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/MirielsJournal/Disenchantment.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 staff] wrought of dark steel and onyx, topped with a skull head, that she bears in recent years. However cumbersome it might appear, the macabre accessory is by no means an obstacle to her regal posture.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Although many remember her in the holy vestments of [[Vorin]], as the turn of the XXXIII<sup><small>rd</small></sup> 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. Early into her widowhood a blackish gash on her left hand appears, taking several years to heal. The scar that remains is now the dividing line of the stylized image of [[Ra-Ghul]]'s masked face, inked on the inside of her palm. The palm of her right hand bears a replica of [[Arcane#Andrinor's_Trust|Andrinor's Mark]], normally to be found on a Trust mage's right shoulder.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 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:Hebrin Maul|Hebrin Maul]] - After a series of tragic events at the [[The Village of Blandenberg|Blandenberg]] Orphanage, Miriel takes 14-years-old [[NPCs:Helene Stillwater|Helene Stillwater]] as her apprentice in the Arcane Arts in the spring of 2206. She takes care of Helene together with Hebrin, until Helene's coming of age. Hebrin and Miriel get married in 2224 and have a reputation as a cosmopolitan couple of scholars, never failing to surprise and be surprised.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Vesdrac Noss'tau|Vesdrac Noss'tau]] - For many years Miriel openly associates with the Ebony Transmutant and has refered to him as to the only one she trusts as much as Amand Xilo, her late husband. In present time, after the birth of Vesdrac and Helene's children, she is no longer seen in their company; all the more after Miriel [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?p=1212794#p1212794 publically reveals] Vesdrac Noss'tau to be Amand Xilo himself and is [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=274&t=116673 assaulted by him] soon after.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Aman'dul Xilo'rulithii|Aman'dul Xilo'rulithii]],
| |
| [[PCs:Aurelinis Xilo'rulithii|Aurelinis'liandu Xilo'rulithii]] and [[PCs:Orostau Nilnoste Xilo'rulithii|Orostau Nilnoste - Xilo'rulithii]] - Miriel and Amand Xilo spend two decades as husband and wife, from 2163 until Amand's presumed death in 2185. She accepts Amand's brother Aurelinis and his second wife as close family.
| |
| | |
| [[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, obviously tongue in cheek but in good will.
| |
| | |
| [[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 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 have met in their widowed years and 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 insecure elven girl she knows Miriel to be is now a grown 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.
| |
| | |
| [[PCs:Anomandaari|Anomandaari]] and [[PCs:Ath'Nook_Nekk'en|Ath'nook Nekk'en]] ''(Ascended)'' - Four individuals get together around the beginning of the XXIII<sup><small>rd</small></sup> 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; 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"; and Miriel herself - The Sage, also called "Little Willow" by The Philosopher, and "The Unmasked One" by The Red Warrior.
