Enilasor Mistfield, The Wanderer

• The Wanderer is a title passed down through the women in her family on her mother's side. It started with the first, Ysiad, twin to the Traveler, around three thousand years before the time of the campaign.

• At around 40, she started her training under her grandfather in the temple at the Blessings Tree to be a priestess. A few years after, she came into contact with the Horae, a trio of goddesses, and dedicated herself to them. She still acknowledges other gods and encourages people's worship of them, however, her main loyalty lies with them.

• At 80, her mother began her training to become the next Wanderer, which was about 120 years sooner than previous Wanderers would begin. Traditionally, the point in waiting was to let the next Wanderer have time to get settled and have a family if they wished, become more adept at a style of fighting and weapons, and gain more knowledge of the world and the other planes before they honed their skills into something they can apply to their role. She later learned from the Traveler that her mother was hopeful, and that's why she didn't tell Enilasor the family history.

Leading Up to the Campaign, and Updates with the Story

At 117, her mother was informed by the LaShay Mepha Azat that there was someone stealing bodies from their graves in a town named Amphail, east of Waterdeep in the plane of Toril. She thought it would be an easy enough mission for practice and took Enilasor with her.

Upon arriving on Hammer, 29th day , they found the cemetery destroyed from someone digging up the graves. There was a purple glow in the center and the two tried to stealthily investigate it. They found a hooded figure she later learned was named Malyn Volar at an alter with a Black Book on it. He was surrounded by four structures in the shapes of trees, made from the corpses from the now-empty graves. He was performing some kind of ritual but they didn't know what.

They tried to stop him, but he cursed Malquis, causing her to turn on Enilasor. Enilasor tried to defend herself and accidentally stabbed her mother in the chest, killing her. She has since learned that it wasn't her mother who was cursed, but her; she attacked and killed her mother as Malyn's thrall. Enilasor wonders what else she remembers incorrectly from that night and means to ask the Traveler about it since he was there and the reason she isn't dead or mad.

Enilasor is trying to remember it's Malyn who killed Malquis, not Enilasor; he used her as an unwilling tool, in the sense that a dagger doesn't murder people, the one wielding it does. Her efforts to keep that in mind are touch and go.

She later learns that the ritual he was performing was to release the god Azathoth from his Book. During the ritual, she and her mother were used a spell components, with her mother as the sacrifice (J has described Enilasor's role as a switchboard for magic). Because of this, there's still a thread of Malyn's magic on her, tying her to him. It's faint, fainter than what they've found on other people Malyn has crossed paths with, but it's still there. When they found out that Malyn can communicate through people he's cursed to talk to them from wherever he's hiding and control them, Enilasor's paranoia that Malyn could control her like he did her mother her increased. The guard Malyn possessed had an "infection", but Enilasor doesn't. And even though she isn't infected, she's still terrified of Malyn's ability to puppet people and made the Traveler promise to stop her from hurting the party at the first sign of her acting off and looking like she may turn on them, even if it means death.

He'd tried to get her out of the ritual the first time but was injured in the process. All Enilasor knows about that is that his arms are still bandaged from an event that took place two and a half years ago.

Orestes accidentally told the party that to remove the magic Malyn left behind, they'd have to remove/destroy her current soul, and then make her a new one, since Malyn's magic is bound to hers.

Before meeting the party, Enilasor planned to leave the town of Berdusk and head northward, through the Reaching Wood, making for Hardbuckler.  A small caravan left the day before she did, with her needing to finish something first and unable to join them. Partway through the Reaching Wood, she ran into a band of cultists who knocked her out and kidnapped her. She woke later in a cell in the Temple of the Elder Tree, though she didn't know that that's where she was initially. Not seeing any of the caravan imprisoned with her was a relief, and she assumed that they made it through safely. She doesn't know why the cultists kidnapped her, however, or if it just happened to be coincidence...she doesn't know why they let her live either, and is, quite frankly, afraid to ask.

• Her name is Rosaline backwards. Same with the first Wanderer, Ysiad -> Daisy, and the Traveler, Wefrevef -> Feverfew. There are a handful of previous Wanderers with similar names.

• Enilasor doesn't lie, usually. In the Feywild, many of its inhabitants are full fey and are physically incapable of lying. The Fey Eladrin/most of Knasthran's people, however, have chosen to not lie out of respect for the inhabitants that can't. It's not that it's impossible for them to lie, but culturally, it's taboo. She will give partial truths or remain vague, but Enilasor won't outright lie unless she absolutely has to. She only will to protect the party.

  • • For example, when in the Chantry in the Tree Home, she was suddenly meant to pass as a Caretaker. When a golem asked her if she was, in fact, a Caretaker, Enilasor said, "I am now...?" In the moment, a Caretaker was put on the spot to claim that she was, and so she was kind of one because she had to be, even though she obviously wasn't one.

    • Another example is how she explained the night her mother died and her identity before it was revealed who she was. The mask, armor, and name were a family tradition, she did kill her mother in what she believes was self-defense, and the armor and mask were her mother's. She never told them that there were other Wanderers, or that she killed the previous one, but they didn't ask a specific question to find out that information, and she didn't have to specify.

    • She will use her evasiveness to get out of agreements and the like if she has to, meaning that she keeps certain things vague and open for interpretation for her own gain or safety. However, she would tell you that being vague can get you killed back home if you're not careful. There's a time and a place for it.

• She's learned that her mask is a tradition from the Caretakers, of which Ysiad was the Headmistress of, who wear the same masks and hooded cloaks as proof of their humility. They believe that their actions are not for their own fame but to aid others and preserve the natural beauty that they're sworn to protect.

  • Also learned as of Book 12 that the traveler's cloak the Wanderer's passed down was once the Traveler's. Ysiad kept it and his coat after he died.

• She grew up in Knashthra in the Feywild, a kingdom of trees tucked away in a vale. The center of their nation is a massive tree they call the Blessings Tree. The legend is that millennia ago, the gods reached down and planted the tree for them. The gods then taught them how to grow and shape the tree without harming it. Given its size today, they have grown temples, courts for their government, lodgings for their Archons and the Nyhmorarch, and any visiting diplomats, markets, and more. Homes are grown from the shoots that pop up from the Blessing Tree's extensive root system that surround it.

  • • Locations of the Fey Crossroads from Faerûn to the Feywild are located in:

      • The Neverwinter Wood outside the city of Neverwinter

      • Eastern side of the Thunder Peaks (active, edge of Cormanthyr)

      • Ice Spires

      • The Great Glaciers (unknown if active, or exact location)

      • Old Sharandar

      • Until/unless J says otherwise, I'm placing a few here:

        • • Old Sharandar

          • The Cloud Peaks

          • Near Candlekeep (formerly, portal destroyed during the Spellplague)

          • Methwood (formerly, a portal destroyed during the Spellplague)

          • Planes of Purple Dust

          • Eastern side of the Thunder Peaks (active, edge of Cormanthyr)

          • The Great Glaciers (unknown if active, or exact location)

          • Ice Spires

• Growing up, she would receive sweets, toys, and more from an unseen, silent figure she named her "Blueberry Fairy" because of the blueberry tarts they would leave her when she was having a bad day. Those "other things" have so far gone unnamed in the campaign.

  • • Sometime around the age of 8-10, she received a stuffed toy she named Enty the Tree Ent.

    • She started making and baking things for them as gifts and "thank you's." Her first embroidery project after she moved past sewing letters was a daisy, though she thinks that it's hideous, looking back. Her Blueberry Fairy still has it. At her age, she didn't quite understand the rules of gifts and trade in the Feywild, and that she needed to be careful so she wouldn't insult them, just in case they were Fey, or she accidentally promised her service or worse to them.

    • She has since found out that the Blueberry Fairy is the trickster god, the Traveler.

• She isn't unaligned, but her alignment mostly bounces between Winter and Summer because of her depression and anger. She used to be mostly aligned with Spring until her mother's death. It's been unstable as of late, however, and there are now instances her alignment changing without her purposefully trying to do so, or her emotions influencing a shift in the seasons or the strength/nature of her Fey-associated abilities.

  • A recent example was her alignment switching from Winter to Autumn when they were in the vestibules near the Grandfather Tree, though I can't remember if J said why it happened. Another instance was being able to teleport several times further than Fey Step would otherwise allow because of her emotional attachment to a woman who was killed in Athkatla 

    • She can have environmental effects from other seasons if an emotion is strong enough. For example, while fighting vampires, she grew excited at the party's success and had a few daisies sprout around her feet even though she was in Winter.

  • Another example is when they were in Athkatla, and her conflicting thoughts/emotions about their situation threw her into a mix of Winter/Summer.

• She wasn't terrified of being restrained until the nightmare Shub-Niggurath (I'm assuming that's who did it) trapped her and her companions in, where the sludgy tentacles they'd come across earlier wrapped around her and then strangled her. Enilasor won't react as positively to being bound or people near her throat in the future and may panic.

  • • Which, as of the 15th and 16th sessions, the first Sister, Rilerra, held her up by the throat just before she crumbled and died. The last of the Sisters bound her and would have killed her if Arix hadn't stepped in and killed Thestina.

• Enilasor has a pouch with her that holds beads and components of various types to help her enchant said beads to put on everyone's bracelets. Her paranoia and care for them is her "battle strategy", rather than matching that of her mother's.

  • • She's currently teaching Arix how to enchant items, using her spells and the spells the Traveler gave him.

• Her canon with the Horae is different from traditional canon. I've merged all known Horae into three for the sake of matching Enilasor's personality, beliefs, and abilities with her patrons.

• Fey Eladrin, and Feywilders as a whole, are generally free-spirited and open with their emotions. It's not that they lack self-control, but they don't generally restrict themselves from following their whims.

  • • Given the living situation back home, a lack of control over their emotions can be dangerous for everyone. Extreme emotion, while aligned with Summer or Winter, could damage their homes, setting fire to them or flash freezing the wood, killing the house.

    • Enilasor had fairly decent control over her emotions and magic before the night at the cemetery. Whether it's from trauma or something else, she no longer has the same restraint she once did.

• She is capable of taking people's names.

• Ring of Warming, protects her and her equipment against cold environments but not damage

• Ancient Priest's Amulet, +2 radiant damage

• Black Coat, protection against scrying, enchanted with Aura of Life and Beacon of Hope

• Pearl of Power, extra spell slot up to 3rd level

• Moon Sickle, +2 to attacks and damage with it, +2  to spell attack rolls and saving throws for druid/ranger spells, and an extra 1d4 with healing spells when equipped

• Copper wire woven into her own bracelet that grants access to party's bracelets and allows her to locate them, also stores the Revivify spell on an alexandrite bead.

• +1, blue silk coat

• The Instrument of the Bards: The Anstruth Harp, possible effects unknown at present, and Enilasor is unaware that it's what she's carrying on her.

• Amulet of Planes Loaned to Orestes Destroyed by Orestes and Ambrianne

• Crystal Ball

• Lantern of Revealing

• Cloak of Protection, +1 AC, and +1 to all saving throws

• Tome of Understanding, +2 to Wisdom, Used

• Bronze Griffon

• Force Cube

• Rubber chicken. Not magic yet, just fun.

• Warding Bond Rose, Orestes will have the other one
