Legorn Duskmantle
the Tempestgilt Elf
Named for the first storm that broke at twilight over the golden fields of his birth-house, leaving a mantle of lightning-touched dust that glowed for three days.
Gildstorm — you can summon a controlled squall that peels the gold leaf from any surface it touches, leaving raw wood or stone exposed; the gold reforms in your palm as a single coin, but the storm costs you a memory of the place each time.

You are kneeling on a high crag, pressing a gold coin into a crack in the rock, when the storm breaks over you. The rain tastes of copper and old ash. You have done this ritual every seventh storm for three centuries, and you still cannot say whether you are sealing the mountain's wounds or feeding its hunger. The gold is always gone by morning.
