Aralee Alais

Aralee is the eldest daughter of Taenaran, member of the Elvish Pantheon, and the only memory the Forest Lord has of a wife lost in the civil war between his people. She is the youngest of the pantheon, and the most sheltered. As such, she is also the most rebellious; using her ability to foresee the future to plan ways around her father and explore the mortal realm.

Aralee is depicted as a raven haired sylvan girl with her bangs falling forward to conceal one shimmering gray eye. Her gown is the rich black-blue of a moonless night, and her head is crowned with mithril and sapphires.

Her portfolio encompasses secrets, diviners, luck, enchanters, thieves, and treasure hunters. Many adventurers wear her symbol (a golden key set on an iron wheel) for good fortune as they journey in search of glory.

There have been many who have experienced Aralee’s presence over the centuries. She is in fact so fond of visiting Vocari that there is a cult following that has begun to anticipate her arrivals. These fanatics gather in the hopes of hearing her speak. For Aralee is compelled to prophecy the future whenever a vision comes to her. These moments are very rare, and few have found their hard work to lead anywhere.

In the past, Aralee has forewarned people of floods, famines, and other natural disasters. She also brought warning of the coming Sleep of Ages long before it actually happened. But her warnings did little to help stop the event, and she was in part blamed for its occurrence, despite having nothing to do with it. After that, she was less inclined to share her knowledge with the mortal world.

But there has been one documented prophecy that tells of a time yet to come. The priest who heard it carefully recorded it and that single copy is on display within the grand library at Umber Keep.

When crimson shines Ulara’s light,

And the Four are joined as one,

When deathly mist flits through the night,

And jagged claws sunder stone,

The Red Wolf of Taenaran leads the way,

And war is finally ceased,

A song will rise and bring the day,

The dead will be released.

When urged to say more on the subject, Aralee only smiled and replied, “Howls among the Redwoods...” before vanishing. ​​​​​​​
