Rilthil Frostleaf
the Pearl-Diver Elf
Named for the still pool where the first pearl was found beneath the frost-coated lily pad.
Pearl-Sunder — you can shatter a handful of frozen water into perfect pearls, each one holding a breath of time, but every pearl you use must be retrieved from a depth you cannot see.

“They say you carry the winter in your chest,” the young smith said, hammer still raised. You did not answer; you only let a single pearl drop from your palm into the quenching bucket, and the steam curled like a sigh. You had come to the mountain's throat fifty years earlier, looking for the river that ran beneath the glacier. You found it, and you found the fist-sized pearl wedged in the ice. It had been waiting for you longer than the mountain had been called by name.
