Aerith Windmantle
the Reedwarden Elf
Named for the first reed that bows to the river, and for the wind that mistakes her cloak for its own.
Power
Reedbinding — you can command a single reed to grow into a temporary gate or bridge, but each use drains the marsh’s patience; if you overuse it, the reeds will refuse your call for a year.

You keep a dried reed from the first marsh you ever ruled, its hollow filled with silt from a river that has since changed course. It reminds you that nothing, not even the water, stays where you left it. You have worn the Windmantle name for three centuries, though your house’s true allegiance is to the slow, patient reed, not the fleeting wind.
