History
The Tathvirs are an ancient bloodline emerged from the Mali’fenn. The founder of the Tathvir Bloodline, Amara Tathvir, was one of the few first Mali’fenn, and fought alongside her kin over the many decades until death do her part. Following the events of Amara’s passing, the Tathvirs were left for the wind and spread to cities far beyond their own. Only now, they are to be rediscovered, small in numbers, but thriving. Returning to their Fennic homeland, they have once more begun the effort to regather their kin amongst the people of the Princedom.
Physically Dominant Features
An average Tathvir ranges from 5’5” to 6’ tall, setting them on the shorter side for snow elves. Naturally, they possess lean, athletic builds that are maintained through constant exercise. They commonly have straight, silver locks accompanied by turquoise eyes ringed in a light gold which serves as a giveaway towards their identity. Most Tathvirs are swift-footed and agile, making them well known for their skill as scouts.
Attitude
Tathvirs are raised with ambition and pride in mind. They are humorous and carefree people, always looking towards the best in life. Due to these traits, they can usually be misinterpreted as reckless or childish when that may not be the case. The Tathvirs are race neutral, never welcoming, but neither against anyone of different kin. However, they do tend to stick to mating only with those of their race.
Specialties & Proficiencies
This bloodline is famous for their interest in herbalism and apothecy. They provide their knowledge of medicinal practices towards those in need, and are always busy researching new antidotes. Some Tathvirs take a different path, seeking interest in the performing or fine arts. In the past, they have been famous for their refined artists and talented performers. Their contribution towards the Bilok'thuln leans towards alchemy, relating towards their curious and creative nature.
In the sense that the Tathvirs are very lithe and agile people, they make great scouts in the Ivae’fenn. They always wear lightweight armor, or no armor at all, and use knives and short swords as their primary weapon, alongside the bow - making them some of the Princedom’s finest archers.
Many a Tathvir are also known for their capabilities regarding healing. As such, the bloodline is typically in charge of the local clinic, allowing the best healers of Fenn to easily bring assistance to those in need.
Ancestral Belongings
Sword of Skalaer
This grey-tinted blade sits at roughly 3’ long, connected to the leather-wrapped handle through a silver crossguard. The crossguard is decorated to resemble the outspread wings of an eagle. While the blade bears many scuffs and scratches from its years of service, its edges are still sharpened and well-kept. This blade has been passed through generations of the bloodline, always being gifted to the strongest Tathvir. The wielder of the blade is tasked with defending the bloodline from any threats that they may face.
Ring of Skalaer
A faint glow resonates from this silver ring when it’s held in the light. The ring itself depicts a small wyrm wrapping itself around the wearer’s finger before consuming its own tail. This elegant relic has been passed down from generation to generation, always being worn by the eldest Tathvir.
