Son of the elven singer Leilatha and the off worlder Lux ap-Blut from Rassilon.

Growing up in the shadow of a legendary warrior Sulayn was taught to fight from a young age. For the past several years Sulayn has been taking work as a mercenary under various banners in the warring River Kingdoms. This deadend career was cut short by a strange letter from his brother Ecaeris who insisted he had seen their long dead mother alive and well. Unfortunately the letter took some time to find Sulayn and is over a year old. When Sulayn finally arrives in Ustalav he hears news of his brother in the Caliphas.

Personality: Still young by elven counting Sulayn has spent many years among humans. His optimistic and adventurous nature has been tempered by his father’s lessons and nearly a decade spent as a mercenary. He is ready to leave that work behind having grown tired of fighting for others’ causes and putting his life in the hands of commanders usually far removed from the fighting. Deeply ingrained in Sulayn are the six River Freedoms, a code he struggles to understand better and live by.

From his mother he has inherited an unbridled sense of wonder and possibility. From his father he has learned the strength of discipline and caution.

Sulayn doesn’t follow a specific faith but honors and supports many deities. He particularly respects Sarenae, Milani, Hanspur, and Desna. Despite their popularity in the River Kingdoms he finds Gorum and Cayden Cailean distasteful. His mother’s favored deity was Shelyn and Sulayn leaves a flower on the goddesses shrine on her birthday.

Upbringing: Sulayn was born and spent his childhood in the warring River Kingdoms moving from city to city following his mother’s whims and his father’s employment. Upon his mother’s death his father moved them to the elven bordertown of Greengold where he spent his teenage years training under his father and assisting his cousin on her hippogriff ranch. As an adult he returned to the River Kingdoms where he has spent the past several years there working as a mercenary.

Family:
His mother Leilatha Isilme was a talented singer with an unearthly voice. She drove Sulayn and his father from city to city throughout the River Kingdoms gathering stories for her songs. Her wanderlust and discontentment often put the family in very dangerous situations. Sulayn remembers her as a loving, but distant mother and the epitome of grace. When Sulayn was young she took up an affair with a traveling aristocrat from Ustalav. The affair was discovered and she fell ill and died weeks later. Sulayn, Lux and Ecaeris saw her buried but Ecaeris has insisted he has seen her alive in Caliphas.

His father Lux ap-Blut is a refugee from a doomed world being overtaken by ice and snow. Arriving on Golarion through the mists of Ustalav he settled in the River Kingdoms where he became a local legend due to his fighting prowess and unique style. He married the elven singer Leilatha and raised Sulayn. After his wife’s death he moved them to Greengold in Kylonin where he still lives in comfortable retirement. He does not know, and would not believe, that his wife Leilatha is still alive. “There are other worlds than this Sulayn. And this one is not mine.” – Lux ap-Blut

Ecaeris Isilme is the first son of Leilatha by another father. He is a full blooded elf and looks to be around Sulayn’s age despite being a century older. He is a cheerful and gregarious scholar who shares a good deal of his mother’s careless wanderlust. He was last known to be in the city of Caliphas where he wrote Sulayn that he had seen their mother.

Haalija Srinshee is Sulayn’s cousin, his mother’s brother’s child. She manages a hippogriffin ranch on the outskirts of Greengold. Sulayn worked for her during his teenage years.
