Raised above the discreetly dual-purposed Moonstruck Café, Andel Moon grew up surrounded by warmth, wisdom, and whispered secrets. His mother, Adele Moon, owned the café and brothel below, providing her son with a nurturing yet unfiltered view of the world. The brothel’s employees were his extended family, and from a young age, Andel was taught to be open-minded, curious, and respectful of boundaries.

Though not permitted into the brothel until he came of age, Andel’s thirst for knowledge grew under the care of his mother and the rotating cast of tutors that Adele employed to stoke his academic curiosity. His interests soon diverged from the human form to the anatomy and magic of non-sentient creatures.

During his school years, Andel helped in the café, learning to read people, brew teas, and navigate social intricacies. When his time came, Adele gently encouraged him to chase his passion beyond Elbion. He supported himself through tutoring and occasional work reminiscent of his family’s trade, all while seeking out rare and magical creatures to study.

His journey led him to Crobhear Keep. Enchanted by the wealth of detailed records, Andel pledged himself to the Keep and chose the path of a Yaegir.

Despite his genteel upbringing, Andel endured rigorous training, driven by ambition and the desire to engage with the world firsthand. He directed his training to skills of archery, trap-building, and a profound understanding of magical biology.

Now, as a Yaegir, Andel walks the line between academic and adventurer.
