Aerynn Valienar carries herself with subtle, elven grace, her polar white hair smoothly trailing like snowfall around eyes of depthless sapphire that reflect a calm yet inquisitive spirit.  Soft-spoken, the elven mage has spent decades honing her arcane prowess through a combination of ceaseless curiosity and a natural affinity for the manipulating the weave.  The elf's slender frame belies a stark strength of will and, though she often stands in the shadows of a much larger bodyguard, Aerynn's presence is undeniable to those who truly see her.

Many years prior she was a promising student in the grand halls of the Watchful Order of Waterdeep, Aerynn swiftly realized that rigid lectures and theoretical debates were not the answer to quench her thirst for knowledge.  Yearning for a more genuine connection to the world's secrets and eventually ejected from the classroom, she set out to carve her own path to simply learn by doing.  And yet, her love of the written word endured for she is rarely without a book, its pages well-worn from decades of rereading during quiet moments on the trail.

Now Aerynn roams from one adventure to the next, the wizard's talents sought by any who wish to unearth the unknown.  She has become an expert in the ancient and exotic, an expert at handling the most arcane artifacts.  Always accompanied by her steadfast friend and guard, Jacob, while she speaks maybe a third as much as he, her actions and sharp insights account for volumes.
