Nebel Fornaur



Nebel Fornaur (born  Unmarthinu) is a Wild Elf born in  W2U to the Chieftain of the Merek Longe clan, whose territory is located in the wild lands of Turandorim Gairn.

Heritage
Nebel's father is Fa'arma Fornaur, the current chieftain of Merek Longe and her mother was Elmarefae Somethingorother, second wife to Fa'arma. Fa'arma married her after the death of his first wife and she bore one child to him before she was slain in an Drow attack in H15U. She has two younger half siblings: Beleg Othar and  Arankaane. Beleg Othar is the current heir to the Merek Longe. She grew up devoutly following the teachings of her clan goddess The Dark Huntress, and has not abandoned these teachings after her expulsion from her clan.

Clan
The Merek Longe clan is comprised of eighty wild elves who are nomadic. They have a set territory but never remain in one place for more then a few seasons. They are a highly patriarchal wild clan, disdaining other elven races, particularly those who are on friendly terms with human cultures. They despise non-elven races, seeing them all as barbaric and unintelligent.

History
Nebel was the first child born to Fa'arma and Elmarefae and would have been named heir had the clan not been a historically patriarchal one. Her father was away fighting the orcs at her birth and did not return until her mother's death in H15U. Upon the death of her mother, it was decided that she would be raised by the tribal elders who taught her skills in archery and animal handling. She never had any real contact with her father while she was growing up. He was so disappointed that his first born child and heir was not male that he looked upon her with disdain, which was reflected in the name he gave her. She stayed with her clan for most of her life, until Fa'arma returned to the Merek Longe from a battle in W114U wounded and fearing he was on his deathbed. Unwilling to accept the idea of his clan being ruled by a woman, he ordered Nebel's execution. Nebel's younger half brother Arankaane helped her escape, and her father does not know her current whereabouts.

Name
Nebel's birth name is Umarthinu which translates to 'unlucky daughter'. Since her departure from the Merek Longe, she has called herself Nebel, which translates to 'cast out,' fearing that if she goes by her birth name she will be discovered by her father.
