The High Elves are a proud and long lived race with an innate affinity for controlling the Winds of Magic that sweep across the world. Unfortunately they, like the Dwarfs, are a dwindling race. As their numbers fail the importance of each individual increases. Every High Elf born is trained in the art of warfare: bow and arrow, sword and shield, and the blessings of Isha. Those that show particular promise in the magical art are admitted to the Tower of Hoeth in Saphery where they hone their unique gifts until called to war.

Rydion Windborne is an Archmage of such astonishing ability that his own people were hesitant to send him to the battlefield. While other graduates of the Tower of Hoeth may embrace a more forceful approach to the winds of magic, Rydion's holistic view has resulted in synergistic healing spells never before seen. His spells tear at his enemies and restore his allies’ health, and he can augment his own abilities mid-battle to help turn the tide of the fight.

Rydion walks between the Winds of Magic, and is a powerful force to reckon with.
