Lady de Wynter’s Ælixius
Long before Julius Caesar first set foot on Albion’s soil or the giants Gog and Magog bestrode it’s endless forests and mountains,
a star fell one midwinter’s eve in a frosted clearing at the very centre of isle. It’s ony witness was a poor benighted orphan girl who had all but given herself to the embrace of death.
The star sang a silent song that warmed her heart and restored her spirit, and forever more their fates would become entwined.
A charmed life it would grant to her and all of her decendents, all that was asked in exchange was a vow of silence and protection from those who would abuse it’s gift for power and dominion over others.
And so, through long centuries it has become the sacred duty of the de Wynters to safeguard this ancient occult wonder – The Ælixius Caer Lerion*.
* Cear Lerion is the name given by the ancient Britons to the settlement that would one day become the city of Leicester.
