Saeros Ambercrest
the Wildbrand Elf
Named for the crest of hardened amber that forms along the ridge of his homeland, where the ancient fires once cooled into stone.
Wildfire's Patience — you can set a single ember that will smolder for a full season, waiting for your return, but you must feed it with a memory each dawn.

You keep a single ember in a glass vial, cool to the touch but never dying. It was given to you by the last wildfire that swept the Ambercrest Ridge, and you have carried it through every rainstorm and river crossing since. When your kin asked why you never let it go out, you told them it was a reminder of the beginning. The truth is simpler: you have forgotten the heat of your own heart, and the ember is the only warmth you trust.
