Mael Maedoc

Mael Maedoc is a Trerfynish cavalier of indeterminate race.

Biography
Stolen by changelings as a babe, the infant Mael was briefly raised in the forests of Trerfyn, before being adopted by a well-to-do gnomish family in exchange for an ancient fey artifact the gnomes happened to possess. Growing up, Mael forgot most of his life among the fey, and culturally identified with the Gatheli humans and the Trerfyn gnomes. His adoptive family believes he might possess orcish or goblinoid ancestry, but neither they nor Mael himself truly knows. Spurred on by the suspicion and bigotry he experienced as a youth among the "civilized" races, Mael yearned to somehow prove himself to the Gatheli and the gnomes, and truly convince them that he is one of them. He has immersed himself in the literatures of these cultures, and loves telling stories about the great Gatheli and gnomish heroes of the past. Recently, he has spent nearly all of his time training to be accepted into an order of knights, and looking for a sovereign to serve. With the recent events in Trerfyn, he may have finally found his chance - both to prove himself to the masses, and perhaps, with the reward, to find something about his origins.
