Equipment: She carries very little other than her traveling spellbook, just an extra set of spare clothes and a bit of food (2 days rations) and drink (1 waterskin filled with pure spring water), and secreted into her spellbook are three darts (see the "Mistweaver Spellbook" entry at the bottom of this page).

Magical Items: None.

Combat/Tactics: Although not physically strong or quick, Nae�le�yn is unnaturally flexible. This grants her the same chances and abilities of an extremely agile person, yet she is not truly as fast as they would be. Her mind on the other hand is as quick and prominent as her otherworldly beauty.

Allies/Companions: Only the ghost of Matyr.

Foes/Enemies: She views most of the human race as barbaric, fear-driven fiends; although she has no remaining personal enemies.

Appearance: Nae�le�yn is a petite human female of the albino variety, complete with strange colored eyes without pigment, much as is the rest of her human form. Although her form is flawless, despite this often thought deformity, and she is far more beautiful because of it! Her pink eyes sparkle and shine under any light; while her long shimmering white locks look almost like fine silver. The pale white skin of Nae�le�yn is totally unblemished and looks and feels as soft and cold as fresh, billowy snow. This, ironically, also betrays her outward thoughts and feelings of her tormenting race from her past experiences.

She wears a strange hooded robe that is almost taunt from her brow down to the breast line were the facial opening begins. It is a pale grey color with an inky black stripe from her forehead, back over the hood to the shoulders. Otherwise, her clothes are finely washed and tended white garments; often with silvered threat as ornamental touches.

Due to her childhood abode and later stay with the dark elven Mage of Mists, she has developed her craft well, although strange in outlook; as her spells all take the form of mist in one form or another. Depending on her mood, the spell-mists that her magic creates can be any hue from silver (when happy or proud), to the plain dreary gray (no prominent emotions), to almost black rain cloud-like gray color (for depression or loss).

Personality: Nae�le�yn is very shy and keeps to herself. From years of teasing and name-calling, she has acquired a sense of distance from others of her race. She can often be found crying and whispering, seemingly to herself. Although few can understand how she could upset herself so.

She has also learned much of the various historical and modern interactions of humans and their other racial involvements. Nae�le�yn has done this to better understand her lot in humankind and to begin to grasp what will occur in her involvements with her fear driven race.

Experience (+10%): 0.

Experience For Next Level: 2,500.

Locales Frequented: Hillsfar and the surrounding lands.

History: Nae�le�yn was born to a half-high elven enchanter and a bar maid from a tiny cloistered village near a few large and rolling hills, too close to the elven woods for the towns� inhabitants. Her father being displaced royalty of �some minor demihuman race�, she was soon named the queen of the woods and chastised much more than any other group of children put together.

On one occasion, when she was only 12 years of age, Matyr�then her only friend in the Realms�intervened on her behalf during a fight with the other village children and he was beaten and thrown into a ravine for his troubles; where he later died from infected wounds. In remorse, Nae�le�yn traveled deeper into the woods, to the dark recesses where the dark elf (a practitioner of the Dark Art, not a drow) of the woods lived, a much-feared weaver of the �dark arts.� There she learned her now proclaimed dark arts, and was gifted by the reappearance, of sorts, of Matyr; although only in his now ghostly and very perturbed, undead condition.

Since this time her name became �The Hooded Queen of Tears� in the minds and hearts of the elders of the village, who at one time, in years past, had been on relatively good terms with the elves of the area. And the children are all now frightened of the little girl they chided a world and years away in the past. They call her �The Dark Whisperer�. But much more disturbing to them is the bodiless whispering of the boy they slew who now, since her reappearance, corrupts their sleep and sanity!

She recently resided in the misty vale of her late father, who some say, �died of a broken heart over the lost of his fragile little elfling.� Yet once again the fear of men that drove her sweet smile from her tender face years past once again showed its foul colors. The fathers of the boys tormented by Matyr�s ghost took vengeance on her, since the poor boy pasted from their justice long before their children were scared of the night because of him.

Motivations/Goals: Nae�le�yn wishes only to learn more of and advance her dark arts, as well as perhaps finding happiness amongst the blind barbarians of her fearful race.

Campaign Uses: A master of shadows and a woodland child, Nae�le�yn could be used as a guide or silently beautiful spellcaster of any adventuring party.

The spellbook of Nae�le�yn is made completely of black marble, carved into a flawless, hollow box, which bears a circular hole in its topmost surface that bears a ridge in which the top is placed and twisted into position; this lid is cunningly cut, so that only a dwarf, elf or one with the observation or stonemasonry proficiency could hope to recognize the contraption as anything but a box, as the marble looks seamless and is in perfect alignment in texture and color once the lid is secured. Inside are ten finely cut slate tablets that bear the incantations of her spells. There is room in this box for a total of 40 such very fine slate tablets.

This box also bears three marble darts that likewise are cleverly arranged into the bottom surface of the box in an ornate pattern. These are in all respects normal darts, and although they are functional as weapons, they are disguised as a deterrent to theft, as they seem in outward appearance to be a locking mechanism of some sort. They are also in the form of very well balanced ovals, so not immediately detectable as the weapons they truly are. And the book contains the following Art applications:

1st Level: Armor, Cantrip, Chill Touch, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Read Magic, Sleep, Spook, Spider Climb, and Wizard Mark (10/18; specialty school spells are in Bold).
