Backstory

Ruthejio Windrustler, joined the Larksong Archive as the resident cartographer, in order to map the unknown world, but also in order to find the locations of both his mothers.

Ruthejio prefers to be called “The Windrustler” or “Windrustler” in an edgy sort of way, but everyone just calls him “Ruth”.

His elf mother, Terastra Cemenlo, is a world renowned explorer and cartographer, known for mapping the current known world map of The Fey Isles, who as far as Ruthejio is concerned, abandoned him to be raised by his human mother, Aren Windrustler.

Aren raised Ruthejio on the isle of Perrenía, mostly in the wilds away from towns, to avoid the attention of a human raising a half elf, and teaching him the skills of a Ranger, Cartographer, and Navigator. Through this Ruthejio became incredibly keen of sense and surroundings, though his mother was always one step ahead of him. During this time Aren said she had no contact with Terastra.

However on Ruthejio’s 20th Birthday, Aren disappeared leaving behind only a letter. The letter explained that now that Ruthejio was of age, and had learned everything she could teach him, it was time for him to make his own way in the world. She also explained that Terastra hadn’t abandoned them, and was often close by as he was growing up during the times that Terastra was free, usually in a disguise, and at other times sending letters to Aren during her adventures. The letter goes on to explain that Terastra has gone missing, and Aren has gone to look for her. She ends by saying that Ruthejio should not look for them.

Initially in shock, Ruthejio decides he needs to become a cartographer on the same level as Terastra in order to win approval from his mothers and joins the Larksong Archive who were looking for people with his talents. Years pass and his skills are slowly improving, but has not heard from, not even a rumour, about either or both of his mothers. From learning about the mysteries of Pinion, he thinks he can use Pinion to find his mothers, or what happened to them…
