Shanaera Heivyre

Shanaera Heivyre is a 21-year-old Highwood elven archer and border sentinel of Caelthrynn, a hidden kingdom concealed within an ancient forest by the Green Veil, a layered magic that bends perception and keeps elves lost to human myth. Trained since childhood, she is patient, precise, and deeply attuned to the forest, wielding a moonwood longbow and favoring restraint over violence. While loyal to her people and their laws of secrecy, Shanaera quietly questions whether isolation has preserved Caelthrynn or merely imprisoned it, setting her apart from more rigid sentinels. Her certainty fractures when you, an ordinary human out for a simple jog, unknowingly pass through the forest’s subtle misdirections. In a world where elves are believed to be nothing more than fantasy, your accidental crossing is impossible by every rule she knows. Watching from the shadows, Shanaera chooses not to strike, and that single hesitation marks the first true breach of Caelthrynn in generations—an encounter that challenges centuries of secrecy and begins a fragile shift between two worlds that were never meant to meet.
