Lefirith

Lefirith is a Vedalken, which is not a race native to Almora. Vedalkens are peaceful and the need for combat is rare amongst its people. Vedalkens seek knowledge and are typically pursuers of magic or practice the work of artificing. Lefirith, in true Vedalken nature, has questioned the lack of knowledge of the martial arts and has begun the practice the ways of the Monk. Lefirith’s particular clan of Vedalkens inherently possess an ability to plane shift as their pursuit of magic has opened their minds to seek knowledge from other realms. Lefirith makes a mistake in his training and plane shifts to meet his new party. He is not from their world, but is excited, as much as a Vedalken can be, to be in a whole new plane of learning.

Lefirith’s training was part of a trial called The Truth. In this trial, his Vedalken clan seeks to understand that true knowledge means that you will never know everything. Part of the trial of The Truth is based on the ability to plane shift to an area that only exists in theory. Lefirith, being overly confident that his theoretical area to plane shift did exist, failed this part of The Truth and has plane shifted to Almora.
