Southey

Southey, the Frostborn Wanderer

Elf | Alliance - Old Guard

In the starlit wilds of Illyriad, where ancient magic hums through shadowed forests, Southey, the Frostborn Wanderer, carves his legend as a rising force. Newly forged in purpose through his alliance with Klights, a fierce sorceress with a will of fire, his icy blue eyes gleam with ambition. Clad in a cloak of shadow-woven fur, etched with glacial runes that flicker with starlight, Southey wields a blade of star-fallen steel—a relic of a lost elven dynasty, now pulsing with the power of their pact. As a fresh recruit to the Old Guard, he and Klights have staked their claim, building settlements to forge a mighty empire in the untamed lands.

Once a sentinel of the Eryndor Frostwoods, Southey’s soul was scarred by a Nameless Traitor’s blight that reduced his home to ash. His Frostheart Pact, a forbidden rite binding him to eternal cold, once fueled a solitary quest for vengeance, leaving frost and fallen enemies in his wake. But Klights’ fiery magic, drawn from primal flames and celestial might, has sharpened his resolve, their combined strength summoning blizzards edged with searing light. Near the Shattered Peaks, they crushed a goblin horde in a storm of ice and fire, their figures stark against a sky lit by auroras, a sign of their growing power.

As a newbie in the Old Guard, Southey is just beginning to prove himself, but his sights are set high. With Klights as his fierce ally, he lays the groundwork for their alliance’s expansion, their settlements rising like frost-rimmed towers under the stars. A frost-white raven, their constant shadow, wheels above, its cries foretelling victory or doom. Though the sting of betrayal lingers, Southey is driven by a dual vow: to hunt his homeland’s betrayer and to build a legacy that will echo through the ages. Call his name in the winds, and you may join his relentless rise—or face the cold edge of his wrath, forged in ice and fire.
