Climate

Education
Shateiel traveled or moved enough to learn that the world is a big place with many different people and places. His tolerance for all races is quite extraordinary for a High Elf.  Shateiel studied the movement of the stars as they influence the patterns of nature; specifically patterns that Tunare herself would reveal.  Shateiel learned the skills of a healer. Shateiel studied the movement of the stars. 

Events
Shateiel was born under a comet in the sky. Shateiel cared for a recovering family member or hero. Shateiel's home community is faced with faith when a new prophecy is announced.

Family
Shateiel was raised as part of a religious order. While Shateiel's “family” didn’t have much direct income, it had access to resources through its order. The richest members control Shateiel's family. Shateiel's family relies on divine protection. Shateiel's family is known for involvement in the community and acting to help others regardless of race. Regardless of Shateiel's family’s actual ethics, public opinion is so ingrained about his family that it’s essentially unchangeable. Shateiel's family supports the current political structure and rulers. Shateiel's family has worshiped a patron deity Tunare for years. Shateiel's family is known to produce upstanding individuals but has an occasional bad apple. Shateiel's family is closely tied to a group that’s generally well regarded by the community, like a local order of Tunare. Shateiel's ancestor, Lanenya,  was the focus of some great omen.

Relationships
Shateiel's parents were lost on a pilgrimage. Shateiel may learn more about them in a future adventure, of course. Shateiel has three older siblings, Sadriel, Sachriel, and Shamiel. Shateiel's one grandparent is living. Shateiel has 192 living relatives. Shateiel has several friends who are companions or associates but who aren’t intimately close.   Shateiel has friends among almost every race and sees all races as being a part of nature.  Only those that turn against nature or natural living shall be dealt with accordingly.

Shateiel's favorite instructor of note is of a different race human, Burk who has taught Shateiel many things utmost to respect all life and races. A powerful outsider identifies Shateiel as a current or future threat.

Shateiel is an easy going elf who often feels disconnected from the hustle and activity of most of his compatriots.  Shateiel knows that life is long since his grandfather, Kaldywen is over 550 years young and this instills the belief in Shateiel "that long life is worth living."  Shateiel's other grandmother is also living at an age close to three hundred.  Shateiel tries to be careful but sometimes enjoys smashing the unnatural.  Shateiel is not above letting evil living beings live because he believes all natural beings have a right to long healthy lives and people change.  Shateiel is especially strong willed and his physical strength is amazing for a high elf as well.  Shateiel makes for an attractive being among other races.  Shateiel lacks in athleticism but makes up for it in wit.  Shateiel is often seen as a bit distant, but many races call him friend.
