- Arvel Big Britches, an outlaw One of Gruffydd's outlaw band, Arvel was 5 when he was adopted and even at this tender age had a vastly over-inflated sense of of his own abilities. Hence, his nickname, Big Britches. His time as an outlaw has not knocked any of that out of him. Rather he seems determined to live up to being a larger than life miniature outlaw to the best of his ability... Which is rather un-nerving in one so young. He has adopted some of Gruffydd's worse habits with glee and likes nothing better than to drink a flagon of cider, brag and get into a good natured fight. Size: 0

With red hair and green eyes and a wide mouth, he is a sight to look at and has a particularly loud voice for one so small. He can be sneaky when he wants to be, but generally is the first of any of the children people notice.

- The Arvel are an elf-like race of pale-skinned beings, found mostly in the frozen northern parts of Naradun. Your average Arvel stands about six feet from the ground, has a variety of skintones varying from light blue to nearly snowy-white, and generally blue or white hair as well. Their eyes are alight with a pale, blue light and they look like children of the winter spirits themselves (which, according to Arvel religion, they actually are). The Arvel are generally quite slim, almost frail in appearance, and aside from the skin-tone and other obvious differences, they are quite similar to their elven "cousins".An Arvel is dependant on living in a cold enviromnent in order to survive. If the temperature around an Arvel at any point reaches below zero degrees celcius, the Arvel will begin to sweat, get sick, and eventually wither away and die due to the heat. Because of this, few Arvel ever venture from the frozen north to the warmer southern regions of Rindor. Select few of the Arvel however, are granted artifacts known as Frost Orbs, which generates cold within the bearer's body, thus sustaining a constant freezing temperature within the Arvel it is given. The orbs attune themselves to the Arvel they are given to (usually given by an Arvel artificier or spellcaster), and should another take the orb, the orb would be powerless until it is once again near its owner.The Arvel are generally rare, and with the rarity and expense of the frost orbs, combined with their general reluctance to leave their frozen homes and their poor reproduction rates, Arvel are a very rare sight in most parts of Naradun. Occasionally though, usually on a mission or pilgrimage of sorts, Arvel individuals, or on rarer occasions entire groups, have been spotted travelling throughout the land.Arvel are known to be exceptionally skilled within the art of magic, and many aspiring mages look up to the casters of the Arvel race. Not many non-Arvel get the opportunity to learn from the Arvel directly though, as the Arvel tend to be very secluded and distrustful of outsiders. While not necessarily hateful, the Arvel are generally hostile to people not of their frozen kin, and often refer to them as "Lesser beings, basking in the warmth of the accursed sun".Arvel lifespans are very long, and an average Arvel can live up to 1000 years.An Arvel reaches adulthood at 200 years.
