From EncyclopAtys
Born 23rd Harvestor, 4th AC, 2607 in Zora and spent most of her childhood on Silan in the education of the rangers and teachers there. Upon finishing school there, she went back to Zora to join Obscurus Lilium whom she was apprentice to the arts and learnt how to survive on Atys beyond the save havens of Silan. Like her peers she was a good Kami and put her efforts into their cause.
Yet after some time she felt that there's often several more sides to things. Serving all hominkind, she became a ranger, getting her first education und the late ranger leader Orphie. She joined In Vino Veritas in Quinteth, Winderly 5, 3rd AC 2611. They are known to have a more relaxed view on the duties of a ranger and what it means to serve all homins than most hands-off ranger guilds.
Since her youth, Elkes interest is in science and cartography. Especially the latter became a passion as she was bugged by the maze-like jungle in the cities of intuition. Combined with the recent invention of luceography, she created a small version of that combined with a small mechanism of a sand glass, a scale and a small lever combined which triggers the luceogramme when the trained Izam reaches a certain height. This allowed to take aerial images of the surroundings. She combined these images with her own observations to map the accessible areas and those covered by mountains or roots too steep to climb. This started her ongoing charting of Atys and map making. Unsurprisingly, the map of the jungle is the first to be completed.
Due to a sentimental like for water, Aeden Aqueous was the next region charged. As the prime roots are the least charted territory and are home of some of the most precious ressources, these attracted her interest after she completed mastery in jungle foraging.
