Quaesitor Halie filia Corvus doctrinae Birna
Post by Arya » Tue Mar 13, 2012 3:16 am
Daughter of an Orcadian fisherman and his sealwife, Iolaire was discovered by Corvus Bjornaeris, and she served her apprenticeship at Voluntas in Stonehenge. Craving intelligent companionship but painfully shy, Maga Halie forged lasting friendships with the magical beasts who inhabited the covenant, while pursuing the study of Intellego.
When the previous Bjornaer Quaesitor passed into Final Twilight, House Guernicus found itself in a quandary as to appointing a successor. Corvus was the only Bjornaer magus whose studies were suitable for Quaesitorial duty, but he had many enemies and was under too much scrutiny for suspected scrying. The Bjornaer consider a catullus as a full mage once they have initiated the Heartbeast, so Iolaire was technically a suitable choice, despite having only been an apprentice for eleven years. Thus the Guernici made the difficult decision of giving the appointment to the girl Iolaire, who subsequently took the name Halie and reported to Magvillus.
Halie has just completed her Quaesitorial training and has been appointed to Loch Leglean. Insula Canaria's recent troubles spared her from residing at Horsingas, for which she is incredibly grateful. She has her turb of magical and mundane beasts in tow, and is optimistic and enthusiastic about her new life.
