'''Thriaf''' was the [[Sylvan]]-classed son of [[Ratiph]] and a [[dryads|dryad]]. He was born on [[Sapience]], and lived the first few years with his parents in his father's [[groves|grove]]. However, during a lightning storm, a fire broke out in which his mother perished. Thriaf and his father moved to the forests of [[Ulangi]], where Thriaf lived until young adulthood. During this time, perhaps as a result of his mother's death, he was prone to sudden releases of elemental fire, followed immediately by blackouts. It was in one of these subconscious breakdowns that he unwittingly killed his father. So traumatised was he that his mind blocked all memory of the event, creating false images in its place. Shortly thereafter, he travelled to Sapience to claim a grove of his own. | '''Thriaf''' was the [[Sylvan]]-classed son of [[Ratiph]] and a [[dryads|dryad]].

Thriaf was later found in a massive fire within the [[Eastern Ithmia]], burnt and severely wounded, by the Silver [[Dragon]] Aztecia. She carried him back to the village of [[Eleusis]], where his wounds were slowly tended to by the [[Atavian]] [[Muria]]. It was only then, after his wounds had healed sufficiently, that he was able to speak. The trauma of late had blocked out much from the young man's mind. According to Thriaf, he did not have a mother, and his father's name was only "Dad." He did, however, reveal that he had lived on an [[:Category:Islands|island]]. | Thriaf was later found in a massive fire within the [[Eastern Ithmia]], burnt and severely wounded, by the Silver [[Dragons|Dragon]] Aztecia.

The Sylvan Skye and the [[Sentinel]] Xel travelled to Ulangi, where the ferryman [[Giorian]] admitted that he was a long-time drinking buddy of Thriaf's father, whom he referred to as Ratiph. Searching further into Ulangi's cloud forest, the two forestals discovered the charred remains of a middle-aged man in a place that the ferryman confirmed as Ratiph's former grove. While Giorian could not identify the corpse, its location, coupled with the disappearance of Ratiph some time before, confirmed that it was indeed Thriaf's father. | The Sylvan Skye and the [[Sentinel]] Xel travelled to Ulangi, where the ferryman [[Giorian]] admitted that he was a long-time drinking buddy of Thriaf's father, whom he referred to as Ratiph.

At Skye's request, forestals flooded onto the island from Sapience and snuffed out the flames with relative ease. But the victory was on a sombre note for the villagers of Eleusis, for a friend and sometime-inhabitant was dead. Skye delivered a brief elegy as she laid father and son to rest within their grove, and they went to join Thriaf's mother in death, a family once more. | At Skye's request, forestals flooded onto the island from Sapience and snuffed out the flames with relative ease.
