Mirth

Unknown Lineage

Mirth Landonel was born to a tribe of Vae'Hilé Elves near to the Glittergloom Mountains. He was taken as a babe in arms by his biological uncle, Vandrin Landonel. For a time he was largely unaware of his lineage, but this became known to him during the events of the Convergence. Born as a full blooded elf, he became a fond of fey magic known as a Walking Heart when his uncle's friend, Loyalty, another of these hearts died nearby. Loyalty was the heart of the Travelling Tumblers of the Autumn Peak, and these monks rallied around Vandrin in raising the young troublemaker.

The Travelling Tumblers of the Autumn Peak

Mirth was raised and trained in the ways of the Travellers, wandering the forest alongside them and being trained in performing and acrobatics. As he came of age, they taught him how to defend himself and others. Not always the best of students, Mirth was a talkative, bubbly child with a nose for mischief. Slow to learn, but overbearingly warm and kind, he often got himself into situations he needed rescuing from alongside his close friend Nyx. There were inevitably places he wasn't welcome at all and every ten or so years the Travellers found themselves visiting the Vae'Nolar in the North of the Weald. When this trip was made, Mirth would find himself left back at the Flower and Cups in Mosstone where he worked with the family that owned it and helped out where he could. Lately, this has meant he has a relatively good relationship with Faygrace Cobbletoss and her wife, Maron.

Servant of the Wintersmith

Mirth was very active during the events of the Convergence and the war with the Phoebian League. Starting out in Mosstone, he was part of a small group that came together to aid the god of Goblins to flee to the Feywild from the threat of Sister Nox. It was during this time that he solidified something of a partnership with Old Mag, the witch in the woods.

Heart of the Commune

Working alongside his friends Lelianna, a Vae'Nolar of Falconhand Rise and Professor Finnegan Rockwell, Mirth learned that he is in fact imbued with the magic of a tear of Sehanine. During the course of their adventures, he was able to unlock this power. The radiant magic of the Summer Court was something he found difficult to control, but learned to manage over time.

Portal to the Feywild

With the aid of Druids from a commune not far from Falconhand Rise, the group learned that they were able to pass safely into the Feywild and even speak with Sehanine if they used Mirth's soul as a gateway. This gave him the chance to meet his predecessor, Loyalty, who instilled in him that they were always together. It granted them an audience with Sehanine, during which time they learned that a fey touch had a hand in the Convergence. Mirth and his friends then used this method to help Hakash, the god of Goblins safely pass to the Feywild.

The Convergence

Mirth and his allies found that the convergence of the Feywild and the Material Plane was being caused by Andra Al-Nabil, a cleric of Sister Nox. They worked with Benicio di Argenti, now an Archbishop of Aramon, to cleanse an altar to Sister Nox that Andra had left behind at the Al-Nabil farm in an effort to weaken her. After this, they travelled via Shackledown Gap to the Umbral Sea. They fought Andra and defeated her, before severing the silver thread she was using to bind the planes.

Herald of the Winter Queen

The group also discovered that one of the reasons for the Convergence was that it would allow Old Mag, who was in fact the Wintersmith, to travel back to the Feywild. She had been bound to the Material Plane by the last King of the Weald, who had made her promise to guard the forest until his Keep was taken. Working alongside the Phoebians at Fivespire Keep, the group managed to end Mag's promise and escort her to the Feywild through Mirth's soul. They made one final deal - that Mirth would greet her court and be their herald in the Weald in exchange for Caelia Dawnflower's memories and the continued protection of the Tumbler's as they travelled the woods.

Life Goes On

Mirth helped his friend Lumine establish a council for the Weald, to let all the disparate groups decide together what they would do with the Phoebian threat. He then made several pit stops on his way back to the Tumblers. First, Pine and the village of Myconids to help them with their problems. Then, Mosstone to fill Maron and Faygrace in, including all of the wilder stories. A trip out West saw him sit and share a bottle of that fancy Phoebian golden grape wine with a slightly bothered Pride, where of course the offer that the Tumblers would always welcome him with open arms was made. Mirth then made his way back to his family, where he presented his Nana with her memories, leaving it up to her whether she wanted to reclaim them or not. He filled his father in on everything that had happened and spent a good few happy months travelling with them before greeting Mag with a feast and a show. After the first three months, he travelled South, looking for a tribe of Vae'Hilé near the Mountains. Just out of curiosity, before returning to the Tumblers.
