Languages: Common, Dwarven

Background extracts:

The handsome and affable Elias is the heir to the Dutchy of Kaerlennon in Marguard. Originally intending to study clockworks and steamworks Elias quickly found it a bore and decided to study alchemy. The past few years have found him barely scraping by with the help of others and it's rumored that he is now completley out of his depth. His thesis paper "Brewing a better soldier: Alchemical compounds for the battlefield" is widely thought to be beyond his ability. He seems to spend more time practicing his prowess with arms than his education. Until recently Elias was a more frequent attendant of the city's drinking dens and alehouses than the lecture theatre. It's said he squandered vast amounts of money on women and ale and gained a reputation as something of a cad. Several months ago he was involved in a small scandal when he was caught dueling a Camos noble, both were severly injured and were fined and imprisoned for several days. It is public knowledge that his father, displeased with the exceses of his son, has ceased his generous income.

Until a few weeks ago when Elias was seen about campus he seemed to be constantly ill, but that changed when he went missing for almost a week. Now he appears much healthier and is gripped by an unatural (for him) energy for learning and he can often be found in the library and in conversation with Professor Midwinter.

2 sp, 9 cp

Normal gear: all but the winter blanket and sometimes she has that, too (usually if it's cold out, but sometimes for no apparent reason at all)

Languages: Auran, Common, Draconic, Gnoll, Halfling

Major: Abjuration
Thesis: Large-Scale Protection through Abjuration Magic

Miriah is a member of the royal family by marriage. Her family was well off before it married into royalty, and her blood relatives are often marked by the distinctive combination of green eyes and black hair. Miriah lives a life of relative luxury. This has not made her spoiled, and she does not expect service from those around her. Her mild temperament and her family connections are the only things keeping her at the school--she holds the belief that technology is nothing more than a form of magic that has yet been discovered. While not pursuing her studies of abjuration, she dedicates much of her time to figuring out the source of technology's magic.

Addition: Her family contributes a great deal of money to the school, and rumors quietly go around that the reason is so the school will not send Miriah back home. She rarely goes to the family estate and just as rarely receives visitors. Those rumors are often accompanied by ones saying that the only reason Miriah is sane is the presence of her familiar. Her image is not helped by the fact that she is hardly ever seen without Mouse, and she often speaks only to her. She lacks in social skills, and it's often been said that Mouse is more outgoing and personable than Miriah. If Miriah (or Mouse) hears those rumors, she does not let on that she has.

Miriah is very concerned with the welfare of the populace, which led to her thesis. She hopes to learn enough about Abjuration magics to allow some sort of permanent shield for the city, and perhaps one that would protect travelers as well. It is difficult to say how her studies are progressing as she doesn't keep coherent notes, and rarely speaks to others about anything, much less her thesis.

Aerandir (or Aery as he's known to his non-elf friends) comes from a noble family in Silverwood. He learned much of his avocation as a bard among his elf kin, coming to the university in Arcosia to expand upon his elven repetoire by learning other literary and musical traditions. Since then he has been fascinated with the technological advancements being made right and left in the big city (though his parents, being firmly rooted in all things natural, are none too pleased with this turn of events).

He has become quite adept in crafting a variety a street trinkets--musical clockwork automatons for the most part--and furthermore has dedicated his thesis to integrating these devices with his magical powers. He hopes to create automatons whose song will grant the hearer temporary magical effects. However, his lack of skill in crafting magic items got him in trouble early on in the thesis development, as one of his devices--which was supposed to grant the listener magical resistance--instead dazed his old thesis advisor, Rosalyn Loudbrook, at the demonstration session.

She was hopping mad, as you might expect, and he would have been expelled if not for the timely intervention of another faculty member, Ezra Summerkind, who apparently found the whole affair quite amusing indeed. Ezra agreed to take over the role as Aery's advisor, on the condition that he focus solely on the theoretical aspects of his work for the remainder of his study, leaving practical applications alone until he gained greater prowess in enchanting items.

In his spare time, you'll find him performing at the Hatted Badger, or tinkering with his machines in his room, or otherwise involving himself in no end of mischief.
