Yestherith Norodiir was the second Matriarch of Nevaehlen and Chieftain of the Norodiir Seed, Yestherith Norodiir rose through the ranks of the Halerir’elame throughout her years residing within the village. She was offered the mantle of Matriarch and worked to guide the settlement and its residents through war.
History
Early Years
Yestherith was born to an aeging mother, whos years of bearing children were all most over, and to a father who she would not ever know. She spent many of her first years being taught nothing of Wood Elven heritage, language or faith, and was instead raised on human knowledge and beliefs. These years were spent at her mothers side, travelling and working for survival.
The Vale
At around forty years of age, Yestherith ended her travels within the walls of the Vale of Nevaehlen. Amaethea had just fallen to the Mori, and it was a trying time for the Mali’ame of Almaris. She left her mother- who had decided to continue traveling and decided to settle within this new village she had discovered.
She met notable individuals such as Miven Caerme'onn and Eonan Norvayn, and Lillyana Caerme’onn, who taught her of Nevaehlens values and faith.
The Mori’s attacks ravaged the continent, and much of her time within the Vale was spent combating those that threatened the balance. Though there was some light to this, and throughout the turmoil, Yestherith met Greene, the son of the Matriarch and Valeseer, and the two began courting.
Around this same time, within the year 126 SA, Yestherith joined a scouting team on a mission to the Ruins of Savoy. They were met face to face by foul creatures underground, and subsequently, Yestherith was wounded. Much of the right side of her face and body was badly burned and scarred.
She remained with Nevaehlen throughout the transition and relocation to their new home, aiding where possible and otherwise learning of the culture and history she had missed throughout her childhood.
Aevos
The new continent brought new challenges and trying times. It was here that Yestherith began to blossom. She was introduced to the role of steward and Staghelm firstly, and began to dedicate much of her time to the villagers of the new Cove.
It was now that she began to settle her seed, as well. The Norodiir had existed for centuries though had faded into obscurity from a good portion of modern history. Yestherith began to write up its history, to create trials and began to welcome in new seedlings who wished to walk the same path.
Quickly she became a steward, staghelm and a chieftess overnight, so it seemed. Closely following was the birth of her first child with Greene, Eloen.
As the Nevaehli folk settled into their new home, the responsibilities continued to grow. Seeing her progress, Miven offered Yestherith the leadership of the Apothecary and, eventually, she was offered the position of Wild Chief, for all of her combined efforts.
It was only a handful of years into her tenure before the declaration of war came to be. It was, to the Nevaehli, unprovoked and unexpected. The Chiefs began to plan and gather their alliances and resources. Within the middle of this, Yestherith received a letter from the Matriarch, which expressed her wish for the Norodiir to take the mantle from her, and to lead Nevaehlen. And so, in 148 SA, Yestherith became Matriarch of Nevaehlen. Her partner, Greene, took the role of Valseer at her side.
