Alysten

Alysten is a Grey Elven wild mage from the forest of Shael i'Vor. She has nearly-white hair and eyes, and has a pair of wings on her back created by a botched casting of Murdock's Feathery Flyer some years ago. This originally caused her to put magecraft aside and focus on her skill as a bladesinger, but subsequent events, including the meeting of her mentor, a proxy of Laurent named Zin Findel, have moved her in another direction.

After being told to take up her arcane skills again, Alysten began studying under Master Rinad al'Zoon at the Serrian School of Wild Magic, an adjunct of the Mages' Guild of Nazivonema. She is currently learning to harness her ability to cast wild magic in the Luyan Mountains.

Alysten has developed something of an antagonistic relationship with Nevyn, who always seems to pop up whenever she does. Velthyl, with whom Alysten has also traveled extensively, seems to treat her as an elder to be feared and respected. She is also known to have something of a pathological fear of fire, going to great lengths to extinguish it if it should come too close. This is at least in part due to her fear of it catching on her wings, but it obviously goes well beyond that.

Alysten is a PC played by Wendy O'Neill.
