Biography as presently known:
Eldrea was brought up somewhere in the Seven Cities region of Avlis, although from which of those cities she hails is not known. She arrived in Elysia having lost her way on what she termed "a pilgrimage of sorts" to the Harpinger's shrine in Ferrell, although over time it has become clear that this journey was as much a matter of putting distance between herself and her family as of religious devotion. On her arrival, her open worship of the somewhat shadowy god of musical inspiration provoked consternation and distrust on the part of some, in particular due to her enthusiastic embrace of its other aspect as Avlis's messenger of death, believing that death and inspiration are intimately connected and that she might draw one from the other. Despite this, or perhaps in some cases as a result of it, she still managed to make a few firm friends in southern Avlis, as well as finding herself a new teacher of the musical arts in the form of the controversial bard Elong Singalong and later, in the Ysgardian elf Star Aelae, a lover. Though a technically accomplished musician and vocalist, Eldrea finds lyrical inspiration hard to come by and spent many hours both by herself and with Elong attempting to overcome this difficulty. As her studies progressed and her circle of friends and acquaintances broadened she found herself spending an increasing amount of time in the M'Chekian city of Mikona, while her ties to Elysia grew ever more tenuous as those she had initially befriended likewise threw themselves into their various perceived callings. Thus, inevitably, she gave up her Elysian lodgings and settled into her present residence in Mikon's city, paying only occasional visits to her erstwhile home.
Greater creative achievement came with the beginning of the resurgence of Visimontium's Bardic Academy at which Eldrea made her debut as a public performer, premiering the seemingly well received ballad Fear Fable. This success, however, was preceded by the no doubt less welcome news of her banishment from Elysia alongside two former members of the defunct Pale Master organisation Turiva Ilnuru - the specifics of which remain unpublished by Le'Megen - as well as the apparent departure of Star from her life.
Recent months have seen Eldrea return from a period of seclusion and resume her studies at the Academy, as well as joining her fellow student, friend and co-religionist Ashanar Sekor in assisting with the initial sortie of the successful campaign to raise the demonic siege of Visimontium.
