Bio
Originally the prized pet of Aryanna Alvison, the brightly feathered avian proved to be more than just a bird when it formed an empathic bond with Lithaldoren, thus becoming his familiar.
According to Aryanna, Regynold “told her” that it was his destiny to follow the “shrouded elf.” Though, what she meant exactly by “told” remains a mystery.
In Game Session #3: Finding that Regynold is capable of talking directly to him, Lithaldoren questions his origins, and learns that the maccaw has no memory prior to a few minutes before first meeting his master, and those memories are of Aryanna “breathing” into him, and a sense of emergency to find his new master.
