Miriel Hana





Latest Update: The Spring of 2235

Appearance


Miriel Hana, at a time Miriel Hana Xilo'rulithii, is a public figure in Visimontium from the early days of the Holy City of Andrinor - the middle of the XXIInd century after the Age of Peace. She is a chronicler and longtime member of the City's law enforcement and standing army, until her departure to Tyedu in 2235. While Miriel's historical significance in Visimontium and beyond is yet to be evaluated, this text focuses on her personality and appearance.


Eudaimon Dawnblade whom Miriel weds in 2230, has preserved but a single portrait of hers.


The portrait, painted by Janur circa 2212, presents Miriel with her student Helene, both in formal dress. The painting reveals Miriel to be unusually pale and notably smaller than the average elven female. This is emphasized all the more by her imposing staff wrought of dark steel and onyx, topped with a crystal skull head. Miriel's own face bears an expressionless mask. Her argentine eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare.


In Janur's painting, Miriel is wearing a modest silver necklace, adorned by a small, bright ruby. Delaroweil of Silver Fall, the artisan behind most of Miriel's jewelry, claims no hand in it. Miriel has been noted in the Avlissian South also for an eclectic wardrobe of her own design. The Ice Witch of Mikona keeps a few of Miriel's original designs; unfortunately the reptile scale gown portrayed by Janur is not among them.


In contrast, the populace of Visimontium remembers Miriel mostly in the red and black uniform of a Sentinel officer, seldom in a Trust member robe (Ashen, Blue, and eventually White). On taking her farewell with the City, many have seen the scar crossing Miriel's left palm, splitting the insignia of Ra-Ghul emblazoned in her skin. The palm of her right hand bears a replica of Andrinor's Mark, usually found on a Trust mage's right shoulder.


Miriel's voice is a light alto prone to a soft rasp, to Arania Moondshadow's estimate. From their time with Miriel as their Sentinel mentor, Selash of the Green and Vanar of the White recall this soft rasp pitching into a shrill croak, when she would bark a command. Miriel's own Sentinel mentor, General Marshal Fealith, does not deny her short temper.


In the South, Miriel's voice has mostly been heard in Avlis Tower University lectures. "I do not think myself a wizard" are Miriel's own words, much to the dismay of her tutor Ialath of the Ashen (now Ebony). A Fatespinner theoretician, Miriel has used solely gestures and no words to cast spells. Miriel is also remembered for employing a melodious semblance to the Drangonari language. Paired with her outlandish appearance, this is a possible clue to her origin.


Those looking for more specific information would be hard-pressed to find any. Beyond the famous anecdote of Miriel's ill-fated planar travel to Avlis, only to awaken in plague quarantined Elysia during the Second Fairy War, there are no credible notes on her past life. After the tragic consequences of her unraveling the Xilo'rulithii - Noss'tau affair, Miriel has abruptly rejected any inquiries on her personal life, past or present.


A small but no negligible part of Miriel's public life is her familiar: Lomion, a diminutive fruit bat, also known as "library bat". This otherwise docile animal has become infamous for an unhealthy inclination towards sugary foods and beverages, causing it to fly amok.
