  • Name: Draea Elgath
  • RPer: Spleen
  • Sex: Female
  • Rank: Er'kiir of the Order of Earth, Secondary Fore Guard Lieutenant
  • Age: 24
  • Height: 5'9"
  • Weight: 135 lbs.
  • Weapons: A basic one-handed warhammer in her right hand, and a lighter axe in her left. The balance of both weapons is right for throwing, but she'd prefer to cast long-ranged spells instead. Also note: Draea is trained to fight unarmed and with gauntlets.
  • Armor: Sturdy platemail, made of mithril and steel.
  • Description: If Draea Elgath lived in a world where the practice of photography was known, she would have been offered modelling contracts every day, even on her bad days. Draea is tall, slim, and muscled (though there's no indication she'd be as slim or as muscled if she lived on a world where she didn't spend a good chunk of her time wearing thirty or forty pounds of platemail), with refined, noble facial features and silk-smooth platinum-blond hair. However, a life in the soldiery of the Order of Earth, the existence of her two older brothers, and a natural distaste for what some would call "normal girl stuff" lead Draea, from an early age, to wear boys' clothes except when very inappropriate, keep her blond hair tied up in a ponytail, and eschew makeup in all its forms. Draea is generally outgoing and friendly, but can sometimes be cynical or aggressive. She has many friends, but most of them are men, and warriors.

Draea Elgath is the child of Daiam Sorasi Elgath and the recently deceased Daiam Erathian Elgath, two of the Order of Earth's most talented cartographers and map etchers. Draea's natural athleticism and her parentage made her initiation into the Order at an early age seem a mere formality, almost an inevitability. She quickly showed skill in the art of combat - however, her abilities elsewhere seemed to be lacking. She treated schoolwork as an unnecessary burden, having set her eye from the very beginning on a career as a soldier. Magic she enjoyed, but she showed no sign of her mother's flair, being able to learn little outside of the standard warrior's set of spells. The marks she received in her classes weren't quite good enough to warrant Draea leading any expeditions, but she proved to be an excellent gate guard and fully capable of taking orders of all kinds. She quickly rose to the rank of Er'kiir and also secured the title of Secondary Fore Guard Lieutenant. It was on duty with the Fore Guard (who guard the front gate of the Great Temple of Earth in As'nar) that Draea first spoke to Daiam Eken Zendure, the Fore Guard Captain, who led her to understand that the problems between the Orders are at best meaningless and at worst completely counterproductive to the original cause as laid down by the Gods themselves. It was this attitude that spurred Draea to help Pyral Telerak Zekail of the Order of Fire clear his Order's name when Krad's Order was framed for stealing the Seed of the Tree of Time.
