Background
Delbellis monk from the monastery of Ilmater in Elderwalk, carries a scroll of prophecy and blessed with vague visions, is trusting the fates to guide her to the right path.
She hasn't disclosed much about her live in the monastery as of yet.
Follows the WAY OF MERCY:
Using Ki she's able to HEAL and HARM creatures.
Her story starts by being left behind by her parents Deekek and Ikki from the MonteDÓr tribe of Avalon.
Found at young age by the monastery of Ilmater, a monastery known for their healing brews. Delbellis was raised in the arts of kung fu, brewing and meditation.
The monks all learned to fight but would almost never use these powers, setting out instead to help and to heal. Building their community in spite of pressure from ruling factions.
The dwarf healer Fayed de Dûn, taught her and her young friend Scotty everything he knew and guided them in the monastic tradition: WAY OF MERCY
Delbellis didn't fit in. To curious to restless, often guided by vague visions or feelings, she was appointed to the archives by the leading council, to reflect on her actions. It's here in these archives she picks up a scroll and receives a vision of prophecy.
Feeling like a fire has been lit, she goes to the council requesting action, but is denied. She steals the scroll and sets out on her own.
She stumbles upon breaking towers, new friends, a city engulfed in fog and debriss, more visions and knows she's in the right place.
Elderwalk:
Elderwalk used to be independent city state. Had some friction with Brassdorf in order to keep it that way. Some corruption and gang influence took advantage of this friction. Sooo the start off tax evasion, locals beign bought out, smuggling, postal espionage, theft. But nothing too bad or impactful on the locals.
Locals are very proud of Elderwalk, care about food, drink, religion, efficiency and craftsmanship.
They are hospitable Mix of races Ppl visit Elderwalk for healing, religious holidays and their famous brewing festivals

- Kira Guildmaster van de Monks van Illmater: Aarakocra guild master van de monk training. Also van de Elderwalk Council. Goede relatie met Brassdorf door veel contact te zijn mijn de andere Guildmasters. ( al komt ze niet naar de cocktail parties) Ze komt naar Brassdorf om te vragen What the fuck met al die anexering. Ze hadden een deal voor souvereigniteit in ruil voor het aanemen van dwarven diciplines.
- Fayed de Dûn: dwarven monk/healer, adopted Delbellis as his student.
- Scotty: 12year old human boy training to be monk, also student from Fayed, "big brother" of Delbellis
- Monte Bluebarrel: Red colored Aarakocra from the brewery, covered for Delbellis when she was playing hooky The council of the monastery: I think something like three seats, probably mixed races

- Aeris Nû: Old dwarven guy, one of the monks taking care of the library and actually the one who often made sure Delbellis did her tasks in the library (detentions). Very strict and terrifying
Trivia
Speaks and can read Aarakocra, Auran, Common.
Excellent brewer and potion maker.
Carries ancient Avalon native scroll of prophecy:
"In the beginning, the titans watched and cared. The flow of nature preserved, protected, cared for."
"Where the flow of nature is disrupted, the skies will part. There, the titan's eye will gaze upon this earth and deem it unworthy. The flow must stay continuous, pure and seperated from that which cannot be seen by the children of Yggdrasil."
"Rising from the crevices of the dark, the armies of Mortemus march through to make home that which we call ours."
"None know how nor will kin be armed to defend, Mortemus and their allies shall lead the green earth away from the sun into the darkness, away from the light of Yggdrasil. And so it will call forth the cold, the sunless skies, the endless night."
"And thus, the gaze of the titan will mark the beginning of the end for this world. And many more eyes will see through and observe the renewal of the earth as the coloration of life will saturate until it is no more vibrant than a misty winter day."
"Until the day the Illumus Lux is reignited once more, none shall ever see a new dawn beyond the passage of dusk till dark."

Visions so far:
First: A vision calling her towards the Daggerborne Ruins, where she encounters the party.
2nd Familiar voices at her back, family? calling out to her something she can't quite hear, a alien vortex swirling before her.
3rd Delbellis dreams of war, of being a being of golden light. A female voice bearing distruction to her surroundings. She sees many portals and a big rip in the very fabric of reality, purple (green?) fog streaming out.
4th Opening a gate in a lightless place, only distant stars visible. Again the light person fights a demonic army, she looses, raising a hand towards the sky an enourmous portal opens darkgreen gass spilling out.
5th The world with the demonic army looks like Cypress ticket, but no cities, is the vision in the past? The portals in the sky have each their own colour, there are nine of them including the big one.
6th Delbellis meditates until asleep and begins experiencing a wave of memories that soon turn unfavorable until, in the dreamlike world of darkness, meeting a brightly lit female figure named Solis who's waiting for 'her time to shine' and soon after exits through a bright doorway into a world much like our own.
7th At Lavarr's cabin in the Sirenwoods, Delbellis takes a potion of spirit: It starts with a sea of stars, with wisps of flames inside herself and the others. An ethereal tether connects her soul to a distant place. She tries to follow it.
Solis appears: "Tethered forevermore, answers are with you", "I am everywhere, I am the beginning, not the end... I am life, all but death". Solis is looking for the battle, but can't find the door she needs "Help me find the right door,"
Delbellis tries to follow the tether but her physical body gets stuck behind the cabin walls, she's not succesfull in seperating her spirit.
8th Right after the finishing blow on Yago in the Sirenwoods: Time's stopped, doorways pop up, we hear the presence of Solis. Cerrule looks different, a clouded eye and an erratic inner flame of white and yellow, instead of the usual steady blue. Delbellis' sees a connection to Cerrule too. The Old Man Aaracokra appears and says it's time to put Yago back in his place. "Child of Enorath" He makes Cerrule do it, who moves a hand of time. Yago fades in a cloud of feathers.
9th (sesh32) Attuning to Criir's blade: Met Criir the four winged Aarakocra Lion (Astral Griffon). A patron deity of artisans and craftsmen. "My greatest creation." "Do you have faith? Create great things."
10th (sesh39) Flame of Hope meditation: "What is the Lux?" Solis dances like the sun on a tether across the sky, over the sea, a city with a river, jungle, mountains, circular ruins, sun that splits on a pillar of light. Delbellis resists being pulled back. A blue cloudy child (Cerrule!!) steps out of the pillar, aarakocra run to help her. The portal closes and the tether crumbles. Back in the lighthouse Delbellis is in a new blurry meditation state. Glowy eyed Tisker is with her. "Solis, brightbearer, Mithras, Suna, Sun god.. she is the first to arrive from the silver moon, a gateway to godhood. Below her many others saw the light of the silver moon. One of her past champions Enorath was tasked with taking care of continuity." Tisker is a champion of Solis and says Delbellis will be too. Find more information on what Solis is. Tisker shows vision of the Time Stave, green with circular metal and a large crystal, older Cerrule is holding it. "But you're too early right now, go find out about these things." Mortimus is stopping Enorath and others from coming through the gate. Darkness. Tisker dissapears
11th (sesh40) Cerrules Whisper of Enoreth meditation, supported by Delbellis and Aragir: Enoreth seemed surprised to face them as they met her in this seemingly timeless space of their meditation. She asked why Cerrule had called her, and told her that there was little time before she would be pulled back. When Cerrule asked her about the Time Staff, she told her that she hadn’t seen it in many lifetimes, and that she could not remember. As she was slowly losing presence, she exclaimed that someone had taken and hidden it. Aragir quickly asked whom she meant, and received an intense gaze in response. As he felt the pressure she exerted on him, he used his abilities in an attempt to resist. This displeased the goddess. The reality that he had chosen was disintegrated, and she forced him back in the timeline she deemed correct. She warned him that he should stop meddling with reality, as it was unsafe to go down that path. Ignoring her warning, Aragir once again asked who had taken her staff, and she told the group it was Mortemus. He was up to something, and he was the one trying to pull her back.
Cerrule asked her where to find Mortemus, and Enoreth told them that to find the hole in the world was to find him, but that it was not yet the right time. Aragir then asked who it was who had latched themselves onto Alenriel. Before she was pulled away, she was able to tell them it was an entity called Shar.
As the vision was closing, Enoreth’s response to Aragir’s attempt to manipulate reality had caused his being to become temporarily shattered. As he was slipping away, Delbellis firmly held on to him. As this was happening, Tisker, who was observing and standing by Delbellis, slowly stepped backward and equally disappeared from view.
