Elemissia Raemilius Selserveriin Alvaenis is an elvish inventor and former Premier of House Alvaenis. She is a noted ally of Aurumvorax.
Appearance
Elemissia is golden-haired, with cool green eyes and warm-toned skin. She is lightly muscled, but this is often obscured by the fine brocade garments and shawls she commonly wears.
Personality
Elemissia is kind and patient, but often a bit naive, regularly expecting the best from the others around her even when it is otherwise obvious they are being deceptive. Despite this, she is very principled, and will follow the law to the letter in terms of consequences for ones' actions, even her own.
Background
Early Life
Elemissia grew up in Morravin, alongside Semille Sindelain, Lacora's mother, and other future Premiers. Although ridiculed at times by her peers, she dedicated herself to living a just and honorable life.
Family
Elemissia would have three children, the youngest of which, Valessian Alvaenis, would succeed her as Premier of House Alvaenis.
Yesanith Nellanor
Once old enough to pursue an apprenticeship, Nellanor's parents would propose that Elemissia, then Seconde, take on the task of his training. Seeing the young man's aptitude as an inventor, she would agree, teaching him much of what she knew and giving him a strong head start and valuable learning environment to expand his skills further. The two would maintain a polite relationship after his adoption into the House, with some suspecting she might have offered him the role of Seconde if not for his treacherous behavior and collaboration with Semille Sindelain.
Abilities
Elemissia is known to be highly intelligent and quite skilled with her hands. Much of Yesanith Nellanor's education was based on her own experimentation, and while she rarely forges items of her own creation anymore, she has created notable items including the Kiss of the Fey Lord.
Interactions
The Shadows of an Empire
Shortly after Aurumvorax's arrival in Morravin, Elemissia would ask the group to seek out information on the whereabouts of her daughter, Valessian, who had gone missing years ago. She insisted that Lacoraethiel had something to do with the girl's disappearance, and asked if they could find a way to learn more about what he was hiding. After discovering Valessian had been sent to the Shadowfell alongside her lover, Valkyrie, Aurumvorax were able to reunite the mother and daughter.
Elemissia aided Aurumvorax during the Red Winter, placing herself and her draconic ally, Sirryn between Semille and the Council House. While she ultimately didn't kill Semille, she did force the Sindelain Premier to step down, and offer the Premiership to her daughter.
