Bio: Talid was born to the forest elves after the elves had split into forest and dark elves. His life was an uneventful one, taught the traditional history of the elves. The former king, and god, Inioch leads the dark elves away from their former queen, and goddess, Elwyn. He was taught to stay away from them, given their violent tendencies and dark habits. He never knew exactly what those were in his earlier years, but he accepted it without question. Why wouldn't he? Everyone else did.

That was, until he was about 14. He met an elder who didn't fully dislike the dark elves. On the contrary, he was saddened by their separation. They were enraged by the human cruelty and acted rashly. Under this elder's tutelage, he learned about how life was before the separation and broadened his thoughts on the subject. By the time he was 18, he was trying to do his own research on the subject, working closely with this elder to do so. He grew interested enough that he thought he could bring this up with their village leader. The one thing he lacked in all of his research was an actual drow to talk to. Yet, he was advised not to by the elder, urging him to keep his research secret.

That lasted until he was 22. The elder passed and Talid decided to forgo the warnings, bringing all of his research to light. None of the elves took kindly to this. He was branded a traitor and a threat to the forest's order. His name was branded as Talid Dhaerow, the Elven word for traitor. Talid would not have that and announced his name as Talid Shysi, branding himself with the forest elves' insult for the drow. Disgusted with the man, no one would speak with him. He was cast out from the forest elves' society.

Not that he cared. This gave him the opportunity to expand on his research. Packing what he could, he left the village in search of the dark elves.
