History: Aravalir, born and raised in Silverymoon, is the only child of a pair of Sun Elf artisans (a sculptor and a glazier). Most of his younger years were spent wandering the city, popping in and out of the various conservatories, libraries, and parks. Sometime around the time he was 50 or so, he and his parents packed up and moved to Athkatla in order to open another shop. The crass commercialism of the inhabitants bothered Aravalir, but the sheer variety of items that came into the city from the rest of the world (Zakhara, Maztica, Kara Tur) astounded him.
After some 50 odd years in Amn, he was bitten by wanderlust, joining on as a caravan guard with a Zakharan caravan heading north to Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep (where he picked up the language Midani). He trained with some of the other guards there, both to get himself in shape physically and also to work on his swordsmanship (he would never in a million years consider himself a fencer, as that would be fairly insulting to people who could indeed fence. At best, Aravalir is a passable swordsman).
After passing through Baldur's Gate, the caravan headed north to Waterdeep along the Trade Way, only to be ambushed by a group of hobgoblins and human mercenaries near the Troll Claws. There were few major casualties, but a misplaced spell from one of the human mercs ended up setting a few of the wagons on fire, destroying many of the goods inside (some paintings, woodcarvings, rugs, etc.). The rest of the trip was uneventful, and Aravalir took, in addition to a modest sum of gold, a fine ebony and ivory chess set as payment. The careless destruction of the art depressed Aravalir, and eventually he found himself looking into Waterdhavian libraries studying the History of Art in the North and the Silver Marches, focusing on lost paintings and sculptures (and other similar things).
His studies eventually brought himself to Waterdeep's Temple of Sune, where he dedicated himself to finding and retrieving lost treasures, particularly pieces of art. After spending about 25 years in meditation and purification, something which most of the Sunites found a little bit too serious, he set back out to Silverymoon. Joining up with the temple there, he started to train as a paladin in service of Sune, managing to alienate some of his more traditional peers when he forsake heavier armor and most martial weapons in favor of a personal aesthetic choice, feeling that heavy arms and armor impeded mobility and were impractical for long term adventuring.
Description: Short for an elf, Aravalir has blakc hair, green eyes, and bronze skin. All of his equipment is shiny, new, and well-maintained. Aravalir himself resembles his equipment in that he keeps himself trim and neat at all times. Although not the best looking elf (slightly above average in the attractiveness category, but nothing to write home about at the same time), he makes up for anything he might lack in appearance with his presentation (good posture, smooth walking, etc.).
