Legends of Belariath

Aercey Swiftcalle

Aercey Swiftcalle grew up among the elven side of her family, born of an affair between Asyrianna Swiftcalle and Jaeryn Masen. At the time of the affair Asyrianna had believed her husband to be dead, killed in battle having fought valiantly. Jaeryn had moved on as they both knew elf/human relationships were never meant to last, and Acearan returned to find his wife pregnant. If Acearan was mad, he never let it show.

Aercey was loved by her family, if no one else. Most of the elves resented the half-elf and let her know it, calling her a bastard child and other insults. As a result, Aercey grew up to have a rather sharp tongue, able to best even the meanest elven child when it came to insulting one another. The constant taunting also made her determined to prove she was as good at any pure blood elf, and she began her training to become a ranger and truly learn the ways of the forest.

Often held back due to prejudice, there was no doubt in the back of anyone's mind that she was meeting her goal. There was certainly no dount in Aercey's mind, and her extreme dislike for elves grew day by day. The breaking point came when we was to come of age to be marked as a protector of the forest, and was denied- her instructors claiming there was no way a mere half-blood could learn the ways of the forest in the same amount of time as a true elf. After ranting and railing, Aercey left home. She promised her parents she would return home one day, but not any time soon.

Her travels took her through many lands, until she eventually landed in the woods in Nanthalion, surrounding the town of Valencia. After hearing rumors from travelers, she decided to investigate the town itself. It was a welcome departure from strict, boring elven society, and her new openly sexual attitude is a by-product of both the town itself, and a desire to be anything but what a 'true' elf would be.
