The Peaks sing of harmony and chaos, of beauty and destruction. To hear their song is to glimpse the truth of the tundra—fragile, powerful, eternal.

— Auryn Glacewright

Age: 46

Race: Half-Elf

Occupation: Reclusive Mage and Scholar of the Crystal Peaks

Physical Description

Auryn Glacewright is a tall, willowy figure with an ethereal presence. Her raven hair cascades in loose waves, blending with the icy hues of her surroundings, while her pale, almost translucent skin glows faintly under moonlight. Her piercing violet eyes shimmer like frost-covered amethysts, exuding a quiet intensity.

She dresses in practical but elegant robes of white and lavender, embroidered with intricate crystalline patterns. Her staff, Crysalyn, is a masterpiece of her own creation, crafted from pure ice and enchanted to never melt, its head adorned with a brilliant shard of magically resonant crystal.

Personality

Auryn is enigmatic and introverted, preferring the company of her research and the silence of the Crystal Peaks to bustling cities or crowded halls. Though she is distant and often hard to approach, she is not unkind, offering wisdom and aid to those who earn her trust.

She possesses an insatiable curiosity about magic and the natural world, particularly the interplay of ice and sound within the Crystal Peaks. While her aloofness can make her seem detached, she deeply values the preservation of knowledge and the protection of the tundra’s fragile balance.

History

Auryn was born to an elven mother and human father in Frosthaven but always felt drawn to the tundra’s untamed beauty and mystery. Her early affinity for magic, particularly ice magic, led her to study under the Frostspire Academy’s most accomplished mages.

After completing her formal training, Auryn left Frosthaven for the Crystal Peaks, a region of towering ice formations that sing when the wind flows through them. Fascinated by the Peaks’ resonance and its magical properties, she made the region her home, dedicating her life to uncovering its secrets. Over time, she developed techniques to harness the Peaks’ unique sound-magic, amplifying her ice spells with haunting melodies that resonate through the tundra.

Auryn’s reclusive nature has made her a figure of mystery and legend, with some viewing her as a protector of the Peaks and others as a potential threat due to the power she commands.
