Cla'evar

Clae'var, is a High Elven Vampire Magician.

Biography
Born on the into a prestigeous family in Edhel Yaara, on a bright day when the sun was shining beautifully, Cla'evar grew up as child blessed with a strong immune system, growing up doing what was expected of Elven girls of her social class: studying a lot, writing poems, having an impeccable character, being a source of pride for her parents.

At the age of 23, she ventured into a nearby forest with her friends, they enjoyed their time, but this was a fate-changing moment for Cla'evar, who met a weird stranger who gave her a book. The girl did not know what to say to the man, so she simply accepted the book, but kept it a secret from her friends. Arriving at home, she read parts of the book, and fear started to dominate her mind, having a feeling that the book was drawing her closer and closer, as if she was being pushed into the same dimension as the letters. She did not understand what happened to her, and only a few hours later did her mother found her unconscious. The girl was afraid that they'd find the book, but as she regained her consciousness, she could not find the book anywhere. She only felt, that something really changed in her. When looking at her parents, warm feelings of love no longer flamed up in her heart, her old friends did not bring her joy either. She did not care about the world, and instead started to be interested in darker and more dangerous things. She got different friends, who were more like allies of convenience, but in the end, she could do anything with them. Her parents were distraught. In Cla'evar's heart, hatred and calculation took love's place. She became power-hungry, and she decided that she would make it her mission to possess the darkest knowledge the world had to offer.

At the age of 25, she left the house of her parents, taking some money, clothes and weapons with herself. A minimal amount from everything, and go. At first she went on horseback, as this was the fastest. She rode all the way to Froturn's borders with Etrand, then to the coast - the time she'd reach the coast, her horse would no longer be with her. She overworked the horse, and let it die, as it was only slowing her down. She got herself on a ship that took her to Gabyr, which wasn't so easy, but with a little bribe, everything is possible. Then it was just a short walk to Keldorn, practically Gabyr's backyard. She had a clear goal in mind: to find the man who gave her the book. He was the one who changed the girl's life to the core, and for that, she had to find him. It was no easy work to do, but after a few weeks of inspection, she finally got a trace of him. She never learned his real name - it is quite possible that no one did, as he went by many names. Cla'evar only knew him as Listret, that's the name that would be forever stuck in her memory. He became her first master. For many years, she learned the mysteries of dark magic. Survival in the city of Magnus Nex Urbs wasn't easy, and she did not get too much support either. Her master exposed her to all sorts of hardships, did not help her in anything, so the girl had to make do alone. Thanks to this, she gained quite a few permanent scars on her forearm. She did not always have a place to sleep, so she often had to spend her nights on the streets, but she always looked at the positive side of her hardships.

She lived her everyday life in the city of the undead, as such, it was impossible to avoid meeting with them. It was at a fateful evening, when she was already 32 years old, when she was sitting in a tavern. She rarely had money, but this time, she did. She drank a few bottles of some cheap alcoholic beverage, and suddenly, a tall and muscular man appeared next to her. The girl's breath stopped from a moment, not just from the appearence of the man, but from his whole aura, emission. When he talked to her, Cla'evar could not even find words, needing a few moments to get back to real life. It wasn't from love that her heart was pounding, not quite. It is quite possible that she wasn't even capable of love anymore at that point, but instead, from some other type of lust that was eating her from inside. A few hours later, the two of them got going, albeit the girl had no idea where to. It was in a smaller alley that the man stopped her, and it was at that moment that it turned out, that he was a vampire. She had no time to flee or defend herself, and he began gorging on her blood. But that is not all that happened - the man also gave some of his blood to her, which surprised the girl. After Listret, this man became her new master - the next day, she left her old master and started learning the art of necromancy and magic from the vampire. After this, she completely forgot about the names of her parents, old friends, only retaining some faint memories of them.

More years, even decades have passed, and with Callyel - the vampire - she gained far more knowledge than before. She lived with him, and thus did not experience a lack of anything, and thus also became his lover. She burried herself deep into the book collections of Atrum Libri's libraries, learning the ancient tongue to a high degree. Her magic skills developed, with her focusing especially on dark magic and elemental magic, with fire being her favourite.

Her life wasn't too adventurous after that, as she spent her days and years mostly studying. She rarely went out, as she did not see the sense in it - for a long time, she could not even go out to the sun to begin with, only during the night. All the important essentials of vampiric (un)life were taught to her by Callyel.

In the end, the time came when Cla'evar stepped in front of her lover-master, and told him she wanted to leave the island and return to Froturn. Callyel did not prevent her from going, quite the contrary - he even accompanied her for half the way. The girl was younger than three centuries at that point, and thus the sun would have burned her. Callyel considered it better to accompany her, not wanting to let the unlife of his child and lover be cut short on the journey. At half of the way, they said goodbye to each other, and Cla'evar continued her journey alone. It wasn't easy, as she always had to find shelter from the sun, but like always, she used the opportunity to learn things. She learned how to track, and as she did not find much opportunity to feed on humans, she fed on larger mammals. In the end, she reached the capital of the High Elves, Yanus, settling down and spending the rest of her days there.

Trivia

 * Cla'evar's original illustration was "I won't cry for you" by Morbidia Morthel", but it was removed, since it was a clear copyright-violation, as Morbidia Morthel does not permit personal or commercial usage of her art. It was replaced by a picture of a Greek woman, who permitted usage of her picture.
