Character: Orelyn, Dark Elf Abjuration Wizard and Archeologist

Orelyn is a dark elf archaeologist, searching for ancient civilizations in the caves and deep places of her world. Naturally shy and introverted, she focused on her discoveries and her studies of abjuration magic. She spent most of her life shunned and alone, far away from her hedonistic people. Yet, one day she made a groundbreaking discovery that might very well have a huge impact on her world. Now, she's on a quest to discover the whole truth about Stalanos, the sleeping god of the Sunken World, and tell everyone who needs and wants to hear about it.

Orelyn’s adventures led her to overcome her introversion and seek out some very powerful wizards, and venture deep into ancient sites of power before daring to step into the light of the Overworld. Patient, compassionate and intelligent, Orelyn can't resist getting in trouble to help those weaker than her.

Since venturing in the Overworld, Orelyn has managed to uncover magic secrets and make positive changes while staying out of the eyes of the warring gods and their servants. Naam can be a hostile place, but Orelyn is at ease with her closest friends and allies. She knows that introverted people can be confident too!

Orelyn is one of my own characters in the Theomachy setting. You may recognize her from tons of other paintings, illustrations, and sketches!

About the Theomachy setting:

In this setting, Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists. Theomachists fight against the gods, liberating diving magic and using it against them.

In Theomachy, dark elves are refugees who upon being cursed by the gods, sought refuge in the Sunken World underground to escape their terrible wrath. These dark elves are not inherently evil. They are mostly apathetic and sometimes hedonistic recluses who seek to shut the rest of the world out. Very few leave the relative safety of the Sunken World for the terrible Overworld where the gods fight each other for dominance.
