Lytharos

Lytharos is a dark elf scholar who is counted among the ranks of the Junon Librarians.

Backstory
Lytharos grew up in the elven trading settlement of Ceratys. He was always inquisitive, and as he grew older he developed a particular fascination with human history and folklore. For a time, Lytharos's family tolerated his eccentricities; that all changed when his father was kidnapped by deranged human outlaws, who interrogated and tortured Lytharos's father for a fortnight before an elven rescue party could find him. Thenceforth, Lytharos was forbidden to dabble any further in the matters of humans.

Not long after, Lytharos met a strange merchant wandering through Ceratys on a lonely, misty night. The merchant told Lytharos of the far-off kingdom of Althoria, and of a great library on an island far, far to the west. Filled with newfound determination, Lytharos left his home that night for Far Isle.

After many weeks of travel through strange, new lands, Lytharos at last arrived in Junon on Far Isle. When he arrived at the Great Library, he was equal parts awestruck and giddy at the prospect of having so much to learn. The Librarians, impressed with Lytharos's thirst for knowledge, recruited the dark elf, and he soon formally joined the ranks of the Librarians of Junon.

In time, Lytharos would specialize in the study of draconic lore. Mindful of Lytharos's area of expertise, his superiors have sent him abroad on his first field assignment.

Personality
Lytharos craves knowledge and the excitement that comes from learning something new. He loves nothing more than a good book, with a discussion of obscure lore being a close second. Indeed, his fellow librarians know Lytharos to be easily distracted by the promise of new knowledge.

Yet knowledge is not merely a source of pleasure for Lytharos. The dark elf scholar firmly believes that knowledge is the path to self-improvement, and power besides. Currently, Lytharos is channeling his pursuit of knowledge into a series of tomes on draconic lore, a life work that Lytharos hopes will be his magnum opus.

Yet a history of scorn for his intellectual curiosity from his time in Ceratys has left its mark on Lytharos. He often doubts himself, his capabilities, and the importance of his pursuits. Sometimes, this manifests as a certain reluctance to discuss his work with strangers. Yet, when Lytharos breaks through that wall, a veritable flood of lore and tales is sure to follow.
