Vaeril Ironwhisper
the Ember-Laugh Elf
Named for the bronze spark that leaps from struck iron, and the quiet laugh that follows when metal and maker agree.
Power
You can speak to fire and metal, coaxing them to bend or burn with a word, but for every command you must offer a riddle — and a failed riddle costs you your voice until the next dawn.
- Familiar
- a small bronze lizard that breathes tiny puffs of smoke, named Flicker
- House
- House Gilded Echo
You were forging a latch for a stable door, hammering a strip of bronze, when the metal laughed at you — a clear, bell-like sound. You laughed back, and in that moment, the fire in the forge took the shape of a grinning face and winked out. That was the first time you knew you could talk to things that were supposed to be silent.
