Arion Elessedil
Race: Elf Loyalty: Eventine Elessedil
Gender: Male Death: In the Battle of Worl Run

Arion Elessedil is Eventine Elessedil's eldest son, Crown Prince and heir to the throne of King of the Elves. He was Eventine's pride and joy being a superb athlete an accomplished weapons master, hunter and horseman as well as being of striking resemblance to Eventine at the same age, tall and fair. Additionally Arion had a compelling charisma about himself.[2] Arion tended towards being impatient and reckless, with too little feeling for the needs and ideas of others.

When Arion and Ander were younger they had been close. Their youngest brother, Aine, created a cement between the both of them. When Aine died, their bond of kinship no longer became strong enough for them. Arion became very jealous of Ander when Aine's daughter Amberle went to Ander for support after her father's death rather than him. When Amberle forsook her duty as a Chosen, Arion blamed Ander's influence on her as the reason.[1]

Lauren confides his belief in the wilt and spotting he saw on the tree, and the concern of the demise of the forbidding. Once at the tree, Jase gives his spot up greet the Ellcrys to Lauren. Upon touching the tree and looking up, he notices a greater extent of wilting and spotting than he had perceived the previous night. Then the Ellcrys touches Lauren first to have him call the Chosen to her, then to tell them all that she is dying and the Forbidding is failing.
