Theris Allori Gaa is a strikingly serene figure in the forests of Eldranis, a realm where nature and magic intertwine seamlessly. Hailing from the revered House of Allori, Theris carries the legacy of her ancestors gracefully. Her mother, an esteemed herbalist and seer, taught her the rhythms of the natural world, while her father, a master elemental mage, inspired her to explore the depths of arcane knowledge. Among her ancestors is the legendary Elara Allori, a celebrated mage whose enchantments are still sung of in elven lore. This remarkable lineage weighs heavily on Theris, instilling a sense of duty to uphold their legacy while navigating her own path.
From an early age, Theris exhibited a profound connection with magic. While others played beneath the canopy of the Eldranis groves, she immersed herself in scrolls and tomes, her youthful hands tracing the elegant scripts of enchantments and incantations. However, her childhood was shadowed by a tragic loss — her elder brother, Raelan, perished during an expedition to the Blighted Marshes in pursuit of forbidden knowledge.
As a student of the renowned Academy of Serillan, Theris flourished, her innate abilities evident in her mastery of elemental spells and the more elusive art of lightweaving, a practice nearly forgotten outside her house. Her teachers often spoke in hushed tones of her potential, while peers both admired and envied her talents. In those hallways of stone and mystery, she forged bonds that would last a lifetime, particularly with an inventive and audacious elf named Caelum, who often challenged her theories with his daring ideas and propensity for mischief.
In her training, she encountered the teachings of Lysandre, a reclusive mage revered for his exploration of the spiritual realm. Lysandre’s work ignited a flame within Theris, compelling her to adopt a belief in the Old Gods of Arlura, mysterious deities intertwined with the essence of the world and its elements. She often visits the sacred glades where she communes with them, seeking guidance and nurturing a profound sense of connection and humility in her practice.
As Theris continues to hone her magic, she finds delight in manipulating ethereal energy. Her favorite spells awaken the natural landscape, summoning flora and fauna to aid her in her endeavors. “Illuminis Crescendo” encourages flowers to bloom in radiant colors, entwining them into defensive spells when danger lurks. “Veil,” on the other hand, shrouds her and her companions in a protective cloak of light, rendering them almost invisible in moments of peril.
Theris has embarked on numerous adventures, accompanying fellow mages on quests to retrieve lost artifacts or thwart dark incantations. However, one fateful expedition led her to the heart of the Blighted Marshes — a place of disquiet where shadows coil and whispers linger. In the depths of the swamp, they stumbled upon remnants of a forbidden temple dedicated to an ancient entity, far more powerful and sinister than they anticipated. Theris watched in horror as Caelum, driven by reckless bravado, unleashed a dormant curse upon them. Though she managed to create a barrier to shield herself, she bears an ever-deepening regret for not being able to prevent the calamity that befell her friend.
Despite her achievements, she walks the line between confidence and an ever-present fear — her growing notoriety worries her that past mistakes may shadow her future, particularly as layers of responsibility begin to shroud her existence. An ancient amulet, a family heirloom she inherited from her mother, becomes her anchor — a deposit of strength and wisdom, constantly reminding her of her family's legacy and the choices to make.
