Iseleen an Riamhtine

Iseleen an Riamhtine is one of the sages of the Everflame, a clan dedicated to the magic of the world through their worship of the gods. Iseleen was born albino, according to the Galuyn this means she was blessed by Yolth upon her birth.

While this would be seen as an ill omen in most clans, Iseleen was fortunate enough that Yolth has not been looked down upon as significantly in the Everflame as in other clans, as he is the patron of Blood Magic. As such, Iseleen’s path has always been subtly nudged towards Yolth from a young age. Born without a mother, as she perished in childbirth, Iseleen lacked any maternal figure in her life; as any women were impersonal or friendly at best.

This, along with her connection to Yolth, drew her to the spirit known as Ria, a demigod goat that, according to legend, serves as Yolth’s prime consort; though she is incapable of baring his children. A mother to the flock of Yolth, who does not share in her mate’s corruption, Ria took pity on the young Iseleen and helped guide her through her formative years.

This led her into the service of Yolth fully within her own rite, and caused her to become a key ally in Yori an Riamhtine’s quest to not only restore the Everflame to their former glory, but to also move Yolth out of the shadows. When the time came that Yori invoked ritual to choose his wife, Iseleen was chosen from the three candidates; further strengthening their bond until an unlikely love formed between them. Iseleen stands now as Yori’s only true confidant, whom he trusts implicitly and without doubt, where others may face paranoia or skepticism. Iseleen herself finds her position well suited; as she is devoted to Yori, her people and her lord, Yolth. As a result of their marriage, Iseleen is the leader of the Everflame when Yori is incapable of being at home, which is often; leading to the woman being his eyes, ears and voice when concerning their people. Though this has led to hardship, Iseleen faces these challenges unwaveringly, her devotion to her husband and her duty carrying her every day without fear.
