PCs:Aneirin Menelaos
About
Characteristics
Aneirin stands about 5 foot ten, he has a slender build, long darkish hair with a trimmed beard and mustache. striking hazel eyes peer out from under the broad brimmed hat. The leather coat he wears appears old but very well maintained. Around his neck is a holy symbol of Vorin. At his waist is his Grandfathers Sword "Harmony" and over his shoulder the greatsword "Spirit of the Phoenix". Though accomplished in many instruments he prefers his old guitar which he will have with him at all times.
Demeanor
Aneirin is lighthearted in spirit with a dry wit, and somewhat sentimental. Curious by nature and not the least bit introverted he will happily insinuate himself into a conversation if the topic sounds interesting and it will bring him knowledge he didn't have before. While he has built something of a reputation as a performer, he does not fancy himself a great songwriter and would be the first to admit that he has great trouble with writing, especially on demand, so he very rarely takes commissions.
Aneirin would explain that any reputation as a performer was purest luck, he did not perform in Kuras at all, except for perhaps the occasional busquing outside the family library and its only since his arrival in the south that he has taken it up.
While performing has become his surprise talent, His first love is knowledge, especially that which is stored in books. At home in Kuras he ran his family's small library until the terrible accident that caused its loss, he now operates a similar Reading Room in Elysia so he is always on the lookout for new tomes to add to its collection.

Known Biography
Born and raised in Kuras, Aneirin comes from a family with a long history of Bards. His Father was a bard, his father's father was a bard and his father before him, in fact there have been Bards in the Menelaos line as far back as any can recall. His mother was tenth daughter to a family of means, who used to joke that she married beneath her station which coincidentally was exactly what her family thought of her choice in the matter. Prior to coming to the south Aneirin was not a performing Bard but rather a more scholarly one, he tended to the family's small library in one of the outer quarters of the City of Kuras.
It was at the library where he was named a Lorewarden of Vorin, it was the loss of the Library and the family home to fire, that set his feet on the road south.
