Fair Elven Maidens

In lieu of currently writing several tales set in the Fae Realm itself, I thought I would take some time to drabble about three "fair elven maidens" that form a foundation for this prequel series.

First is Tirithviel, star of my current writings. She is the "elf assassin", but plays a bit of a bigger role than that. She is one of a secret sect serving the more unseemly desires of the elven nation. She is given missions by the Lord Steward, who enjoys showing his position of power at any opportunity. She is also the only female within this group, but that doesn't stop her from plucking at the tense political strings. If there is a strange occurrence in the city that just so happens to give the elves more power, Tirithviel and her companions are most likely behind it.  

Saerwin is a stalwart member of the city's guard. Always clad in armor and always following the rules. She first peeks her head in "The First Days of Winter", but might actually steal the role from Tirithviel in an upcoming project. Or maybe the two will work together. On second thought, I doubt they will get along. While she is an elf, she doesn't share the same thoughts as many of her kin that elves belong at the top of the hierarchy. Politics in the Fae realm are actually a lot of fun to write, but Saerwin would prefer to stay away from them. She is a guardian and will gladly stand at the front lines.

Veryan has yet to make an actual appearance in any writing. She will be serving in a more traditional feminine role of mother and wife. She is actually the sister-in-law of Tirithviel. Probably a distant cousin of Saerwin knowing how elves are all related. Yet both of these elves are constantly compared to Veryan, and they usually respond with a bit of mockery. Mostly in good nature, of course. Neither of them are nurturing, and they are well aware of that. They can handle a blade better than a baby.

While this all sounds like ranting, which it mostly is, I do know how all three will play into the grand scheme of things.Their actions directly correlate to why and how Esther and Bryan hunt down the dangerous Fae. I really should write the stories themselves, but I really just want to ramble to someone.
