His fair skin and blue eyes mark him strongly as Teu-Tel'Quessir, but his striking gold-blond hair and the gold flecks marring the blue of his eyes reveal the streak of Ar-Tel'Quessir blood introduced to the family when his great-grandfather took a bride from the island nation of Evermeet. His smooth features reveal his relative youth at barely 100 years old. He is always dressed immaculately in fine clothing in the latest fashion, favoring golds and deep blues or reds that highlight his natural coloring. The fine steel links of his chain mail are always kept clean and well oiled, with not a spot of rust. The shield slung on his back is polished to a high sheen and engraved with the crest of the house of Amaravan (a stylized lily wreathed with oak leaves), and the rapier hanging at his belt is of fine quality, also engraved with his family crest, with looping and twining filigree covering the guard and hilt. A finely crafted crossbow of dark polished wood and polished steel is secured to the pack on his back. A large signet ring bearing his personal seal adorns the index finger of his left hand.</p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong>Quote</strong></span>[HR][/HR]</p><p>[HQ]"I cannot deny that I have led a life of privilege, though while I enjoy a game of chance now and again, one could hardly call it leisure.

Not that the commoners will know the difference."[/HQ] <em>– from the private diary of Laucian Amaravan III</em></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong>Background</strong></span>[HR][/HR]</p><p>The Amaravan clan is a well established minor noble Elven family in Waterdeep. The name means 'Forest Flower', but the family had long since left the forests behind and adapted to life - and politics - in the big city. At one time the family held a great deal of wealth and influence, but over time both have waned. The current matriarch of the family, Lady Lia Naivara Amaravan, is determined to restore the family to its former state, and expects her children to aid her in advancing the family name.</p><p></p><p>Laucian is the fifth and youngest child of Lia Naivara Amaravan and Laucian Arranis Amaravan II, with one older brother and three older sisters, and is well steeped in his mother's ideas of duty to the family. His parents are haughty and convinced of their superior breeding, and some of that attitude has rubbed off on Laucian and his siblings. His brother Aelar and his sisters Althaea and Silaqui are brilliant and accomplished mages, and his sister Theirastra is a devoted priestess of Corellon Larethian. Though Laucian showed some aptitude for magic himself, he had no hope of ever being in the same league as his siblings. Lacking a religious calling of any sort, and possessing a lean and somewhat athletic physique, Laucian's mother pushed him into following in his father's footsteps and training as a warrior. Laucian has accepted this path, even taking his father's name upon reaching adulthood (giving up his child-name of Sai), though he still harbors a desire to learn more of the arcane arts.</p><p></p><p>As a youth, 'Sai' was content to spend his days training, studying, and participating in numerous duels, and his parents were willing to indulge him. Now that he has reached adulthood, however, Laucian's mother is determined to see him fulfill his familial obligations and make a name for himself. Tiring of his many duels and what she deemed 'idle' behavior, she recently started suggesting that he might find opportunities in the vicinity of Phandalin. The family had once owned holdings in that area, and she hinted that he might pursue expanding family interests there again. She made arrangements for him to stay with Carric Amastatia, a distant cousin with a small townhouse in the Blacklake district in Neverwinter. Knowing his duty well, Laucian had little choice but to accept her direction.</p><p></p><p>Laucian began using Carric's connections in Neverwinter to make inquiries into possible ventures, as was delighted to discover that Sildar Hallwinter was currently in town and preparing for a trip to Phandalin. As an aging knight of some repute, Sildar had a passing acquaintance with many of the noble families in Waterdeep, and had met with Laucian's father several times to discuss some business or another. Laucian eagerly sought him out, hoping to ply him for advice and information about the area. Sildar had little time for him before leaving town, but suggested he accompany a wagonload of supplies headed for Phandalin and meet him there. The supplies belonged to Sildar's current business partner, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker, and were needed to advance their current scheme to recover some ancient mine. Gundren had a need for an extra sword to guard the wagon, and offered him a paltry sum to see it safely to its destination. With no better prospects, and curious about the old knight's business with the dwarf, Laucian accepted. Considering the quality of the ruffians Gundren would likely be able to hire, Laucian held no doubts that his sword would be needed.</p><p>[/sblock]</p></blockquote><p></p>

The current matriarch of the family, Lady Lia Naivara Amaravan, is determined to restore the family to its former state, and expects her children to aid her in advancing the family name. Laucian is the fifth and youngest child of Lia Naivara Amaravan and Laucian Arranis Amaravan II, with one older brother and three older sisters, and is well steeped in his mother's ideas of duty to the family. His parents are haughty and convinced of their superior breeding, and some of that attitude has rubbed off on Laucian and his siblings. His brother Aelar and his sisters Althaea and Silaqui are brilliant and accomplished mages, and his sister Theirastra is a devoted priestess of Corellon Larethian. Though Laucian showed some aptitude for magic himself, he had no hope of ever being in the same league as his siblings. Lacking a religious calling of any sort, and possessing a lean and somewhat athletic physique, Laucian's mother pushed him into following in his father's footsteps and training as a warrior. Laucian has accepted this path, even taking his father's name upon reaching adulthood (giving up his child-name of Sai), though he still harbors a desire to learn more of the arcane arts. As a youth, 'Sai' was content to spend his days training, studying, and participating in numerous duels, and his parents were willing to indulge him. Now that he has reached adulthood, however, Laucian's mother is determined to see him fulfill his familial obligations and make a name for himself. Tiring of his many duels and what she deemed 'idle' behavior, she recently started suggesting that he might find opportunities in the vicinity of Phandalin. The family had once owned holdings in that area, and she hinted that he might pursue expanding family interests there again. She made arrangements for him to stay with Carric Amastatia, a distant cousin with a small townhouse in the Blacklake district in Neverwinter. Knowing his duty well, Laucian had little choice but to accept her direction. Laucian began using Carric's connections in Neverwinter to make inquiries into possible ventures, as was delighted to discover that Sildar Hallwinter was currently in town and preparing for a trip to Phandalin. As an aging knight of some repute, Sildar had a passing acquaintance with many of the noble families in Waterdeep, and had met with Laucian's father several times to discuss some business or another. Laucian eagerly sought him out, hoping to ply him for advice and information about the area. Sildar had little time for him before leaving town, but suggested he accompany a wagonload of supplies headed for Phandalin and meet him there. The supplies belonged to Sildar's current business partner, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker, and were needed to advance their current scheme to recover some ancient mine. Gundren had a need for an extra sword to guard the wagon, and offered him a paltry sum to see it safely to its destination. With no better prospects, and curious about the old knight's business with the dwarf, Laucian accepted. Considering the quality of the ruffians Gundren would likely be able to hire, Laucian held no doubts that his sword would be needed. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
