Iris Hawthorne – The Verdant Wanderer
No one in the Fae Realm remembers the exact moment Iris Hawthorne chose the wandering road. Only that one season she stood beneath the flowering boughs of her homeland, staff newly carved in her hands, and the next she had vanished into the wild paths between realms.
Iris was born of the Fae, a child of ancient forests and quiet magic, but she never possessed the stillness that most of her kind prized. Even as a young mage she felt the pull of something beyond the borders of her realm. Whispers carried through the wind spoke of imbalance spreading through Alluxia. Creatures born of shadow and disorder had begun to slip between the seams of the realms, and something in Iris answered the call to hunt them.
So she left.
Now she walks the hidden paths between worlds as a realmwalker, appearing wherever the wild magic of the land begins to twist into something darker. Some have seen her at the edges of the Shadow Lands tracking creatures that should not exist. Others swear she once crossed blades beside warriors of the Adventurer’s Guild before disappearing again into the forest mists.
She is known for two things above all else: her magic and her loyalty. When Iris chooses to stand beside someone, she does not falter. Her staff, grown from living wood and etched with old Fae runes, channels the quiet strength of the natural world. Where she walks, vines answer her call, roots split stone, and wind bends to her will.
Despite her wandering, Iris has never tied herself to any single alliance. She moves between realms freely, guided by instinct, prophecy, and the whispering pull of the Everlight itself.
With the Convergence drawing near, Iris Hawthorne has begun appearing far more often.
Some say she hunts monsters.
Others suspect she may be searching for something far more dangerous.
