Lerle

As the great grandson of the High Vane of the Palace of the Clouds (and what a mouthful that is!) Lerle struggles with balancing expectations and his dreams. His greatest desire in life thus far has been to ascend into the clouds and explore the skies, like his father before her. But with the demands placed upon him due to his royal heritage, there are often things in the way--things like politics, and etiquette, and history lessons; all things that he has no inherent interest in. Of course, the magic lessons with his mother are exciting and useful enough, Lerle supposes; sessions with lead economists and strategists aren't the most boring thing he's ever endured; and who can say that learning how not to infuriate guests is totally useless? None of those things are what Lerle dwells on late at night, however; none of the mundane tutelage is where his mind goes when he has a private moment with just him and the great blue beyond high above him.

One day, he'll set sail where the birds fly. One day, he'll feel at home.
