Lythar Kille'eplith and Tylalaes

Born in the town of Crying Leaf in the Mierani Forest, Lythar spent his childhood roaming the woods near his hometown. As a child he learned he had a certain affinity for the various animals in the forest, including a pack of wolves who accepted him as a pack-mate.

As he grew up, Lythar's woodland activities allowed him to pick up a love of the wilds and the woods, and when he came of age, he decided he could best serve his people by assisting in the defense of the town and the forest.

Lythar is currently a Valaes (a non-commissioned rank similar to Sergeant) in the Thysaer Kasol (Crying Leaf Militia), and has aspirations towards joining the elite Shin Rakorath.

A run-in with Drow and a wayward human named Vognar showed Lythar that the xenophobia of his people may actually be causing them more harm than good in a tactical sense, and he left the forest to escort Vognar back to his people. Subsequent events caused Vognar to flee an unjust sentence with Lythar's assistance, and the two have been traveling ever since.

Lythar had a fairly insular life, restricted to the Mierani Forest. As such, human ways and customs often mystify him, and he struggles to understand their motives at times. Lythar's wanderlust keeps him on the move, and he is fascinated by the world at large.

Lythar found Tylalaes fighting worgs in the Gladiatorial Arena of Tymon. Risking the ire of the town's aristocracy, Lythar intervened in the fight with help from Vognar and Thistle to save Tylalaes from certain death. Tyl reminds Lythar of his youth in the forest, and Lythar thinks of Tyl as a trusted sibling. The two will hopefully enjoy many adventures together.
