Description

In art and stories, Alrayna is conceived as a human or elf of indescribable beauty with flowing, wavy, golden hair. Her skin is described as porcelain; smooth and pale. She has eyes of deep emerald. It is said the spectacular colors of leaves in the Elven forests are testament to the tears from her emerald eyes. She is often depicted as wearing flowing gowns and robes made of silky material. Stories suggest that she favors the bow and keeps watch over archery. One legend tells of a bow made of a strand of her golden hair.
