Maethor Leafshield
the Shadowscribe Elf
Named for the warrior who bore a shield woven from the leaves of a silver grove that has not seen sunlight in a thousand years, and who wrote the names of the fallen in shadow.
Power
Silverveil — you can step into any shadow and emerge from another shadow you have seen, but each passage costs a leaf from your shield, and when the last leaf falls, you will stay in the darkness between worlds forever.
- Familiar
- A silver-backed dormouse named Shard
- House
- House Greymantle
You keep a single silver leaf from the grove's first tree, pressed between the pages of a book of losses. You do not remember whose name you wrote in that book, but you remember the weight of the leaf. It has outlasted three empires, and it is lighter now than the day you picked it.
