Ginsyn Griffinsbane
Age: Unknown
Relation: Adopted Sister of Illyana
Race: Wood Elf
"Little is known of the Amazonian Elf from ages past. We know she
held a key role at the battle of Ristas Island, and we know that she
continued to follow the Danü Rèalta through her journeys there after.
For you see children, it was the Grey Goddess who saved her life.
Ginsyn had died by the blade of Chantal, and after the Danü Rèalta
purged the evil sorceress from these lands, she returned to her fallen
friend and breathed the breath of immortal life back into the elven
warrior. She then promised her loyalty and faithfulness to our Grey
Goddess, serving her in however the Danü Rèalta saw fit. She accepted
the oath her friend had given, and when the time came for the Danü
Rèalta to leave the physical plane, she released her, dubbing her
sister and giving her the last name of Griffinsbane, which we all know
to be our lady's mortal name. From there the warrior would disappear.
At least, there is nothing more written of her in the books of time.
It is rumored that she left when all full blooded elves left, leaving
this existence for the immortal shores they now call home. Now
Children, if you will walk this way, we'll look at another painting,
and I will tell you another story of old."
*The woman that stood behind the group of children, moved forward as
the group passed, moving up to the painting with a look of admiration
upon her mirrored features.*
"Well, that wasn't quite what happened. I wasn't exactly dead. Takes
allot more than that to..."
*She would turn sharply at the sound of something hard bouncing off of
the cobblestone floor of the cathedral-like building they were in.
One of the children within the group had wandered away and back to the
portrait of the brunette elf, only to find herself standing before,
what she was sure to be, the same woman.
She would grin and press a finger to her lips to shush the child, and
the young girl would nod that she would be silent. The elf would
kneel down to pick up the sucker that fell from the child's hand.*
"It was a good story, wasn't it?"
*The child would nod slowly, and absent mindedly put the sucker back
in her mouth that had fallen in the floor.*
"Good. Now go back to your group before you get lost."
*The girl would bolt back to tell her friends as quickly as her short
legs would carry her, but when she turned, Ginsyn was gone.
She would meet with the Ridire, and assist behind the scenes after
speaking with Illyana that very afternoon. Once the Ridire was
disbanded, and Illyana slowly but surely reduced her influence on the
world, Ginsyn would again seem to vanish from existence.
She can still be found today, if you try hard enough. If you whisper
her name amongst the right, or the wrong people, you will get an
equally varied response. The once proud amazon wood elf, loosing her
ability to manipulate the weave of reality, has kept to her war like
ways. She has slipped in and out of all governments in all countries
over her years, replacing magic with technology to accomplish her
varied goals. yet even to this day, she still remains bound by her
geas, that should Illyana call, she will answer.*
