They disagreed vehemently with the Queen when she withdrew Celene from the conflicts that raged during the Greyhawk wars. They like many other elves followed Melf's lead and have been doing what they can to blunt the attacks of the humanoids of the Pomarj. During peaceful times they have made a home not from Oakhurst, often leaving young Kiaphas in the care of the village healer when they would undertake missions. Kiaphas enjoyed his time in Oakhurst, but felt somewhat out of place with so few of his kin. He eventually pressed his parents to let him return to Celene, to be among his own race and learn all he could. Finally they relented and he was allowed to stay with his aunt in Enstad. Back in Celene he found the peace and stability welcoming. As the years passed though he found life in the elven haven becomming cloying and constrained. He was appalled at the attitude of most of the elves concerning other races, they seemed disconnected from the world at large. Within the church he started to argue furiously with the other acolytes over the role of the elves and the church. Finally, Kiaphas came to realize he agreed with his parents and could not remain in the gilded cage that Celene had become. He left Enstad travelling home to Oakhurst to see his parents before finding out what fate had in store for him. Upon arrival at his parent's small cottage he found it deserted, this was not uncommon and Kiaphas headed into Oakhurst itself hoping to find out if anyone knows where they have gone.[/sblock]DESCRIPTION[sblock]Kiaphas is short even for an Elf at 4'9", his small frame belies his strength and quickness. His eyes are grey with flecks of blue, his hair is fair bordering on silver, his complexion almost ashen. Some find his cockeyed stare offputting but his practiced manner is friendly and puts most at ease with time. Kiaphas wears well worn studded leather, treaveller's cloths, a grey cloak, and tall dark boots. He wears his holy symbol on a simple cord usually tucked inside his tunic. Otherwise he goes largely unadorned a habit he picked up from his parents. His weapons are simple but well cared for. His buckler is embossed with Corellon's silvery moon over darker iron. He has tghe habit of picking up twigs, grass, and leaves and forming effigies of woodland creatures.As for demeanor, Kiaphas is intense and abrupt but friendly. At times others might see signs that he considers elves to be superior, but he still seeks out other races and tries very hard to interract with them. He's seen the depredations of the orcs and goblinoids of the Pomarj first hand, these experiences will color his interactions with most humanoids. Kiaphas sees individual freedom to be a divine right and believes it his calling to protect that right.[/sblock]</blockquote>
