Sillaria Eldinar

Sillaria Eldinar is a Leánntiri noblewoman, physician and alchemist. Born in the city of Viónar, she is known for her work as a physician as well as her involvement with the Alchemists' Guild in Sarasêlla. She is currently serving at the court of Emperor Mariénn se Raevenn in Asero.

Early Life
Sillaria Eldinar was born in the city of Viónár. As a member of the lower nobility, her house did not have much power or influence in Leánntir. Despite this, her father, Eldrin Eldinar, was an ambitious man who did everything in his power to create a legacy for him and his family. From a young age, Sillaria was taught about the intricacies of politics and the importance of marriage as a means of furthering the interests of your family.

As she grew, Sillaria started to question the views of her father. While she still wanted to create a legacy for her family, she decided that she should have a choice in what that legacy was to be, and how to create it. She began to have regular arguments with her father, who believed she was foolish to think that she could do things her own way. She wanted nothing more than to prove him wrong.

Interest in medicine
At the age of 17, Sillaria contracted a terrible illness known as the Green Pox. For days, her body was covered in tiny cysts of green puss, and she had a burning fever. Her family called upon the best physician they could find, a human by the name of Roldor. Roldor prescribed a combination of different herbal remedies to treat her fever, as well as ointments to ease the pain caused by the cysts.

As the illness passed, and Sillaria started to feel better, she grew fascinated by Roldor’s medicine. How could a simple combination of herbs have such a profound effect? Sillaria decided to stay in touch with Roldor in the weeks following her illness, and she soon convinced him to teach her the basics of medicine and alchemy. After a while, Roldor informed Sillaria that he was planning on traveling from city to city, helping those in need. As Roldor was preparing to leave, Sillaria begged her father to let her travel with him as his apprentice. Her father did not allow her to go, and told her that the field of medicine is no place for a noblewoman like her. Upon hearing this, Sillaria made a choice. She would sneak out in the dead of night, despite her father’s wishes, and go with Roldor. That night, she packed her things and left a letter to her father, explaining where she had gone and why.

On the Road
During her travels with Roldor, Sillaria’s father made multiple attempts to get her to return. First, he sent letters imploring her to put all of this behind her and come back. When this didn’t work, he went himself to try to convince her to return. When he arrived at the town that Sillaria and Roldor were staying in, he realized that there was no way for him to convince her to come back. No matter what he told her, she refused. After hours of arguing, he gave up, and decided to return without her. This meeting with her father, which would turn out to be the last time Sillaria ever saw him, left her even more confident in her desire to prove him wrong. She wanted to show him that she could create a legacy for herself as a physician and alchemist.

Years passed, and Sillaria soon became a skilled physician. Soon, Roldor had taught her everything he could teach her, and they decided to part ways. Sillaria decided to head for Sarasêlla to join the Alchemists’ Guild. In Sarasêlla, Sillaria spent years learning the ways of advanced alchemy, as well as helping heal the sick of the city. She often thought of her father, whom she hadn’t spoken to in years. Was he right all along? Was this really the life she wanted to live? She had always felt she would achieve something great, but as the years passed, it felt as though her life was stalling, and she would never reach anything higher than this.

Death of her Father
One day, word reached Sillaria that her father had passed away from the Wasting Sickness. Upon hearing this, Sillaria packed her things and left for her hometown, so she could attend his funeral. At his funeral, she thought about what she had achieved in her life. She had managed to become a distinguished alchemist and physician, but in the eyes of her father she would still have been viewed as a failure. After the funeral, Sillaria decided not to return to Sarasêlla. Instead, she would travel to Asero, the capital of Leánntir, and offer her service to the emperor himself. After all these years, she would finally be where her father always wanted her to be – among fellow nobles at court.
