From the tome Wizards of the Dalelands
by Lhaeo of Shadowdale.
Summer Silversong, Gold Elf Mage, the Flamemage
Spring is like a young man who does not know his mind.
Summer is a tyrant, the most ungracrious kind.
The Fall is like an old friend who help's where ever she can...
A gold elf mage born and raised in Shadowdale, Summer is as much
a figure of rumour and history as she is a real person and is often
heard to comment that she is starting to believe her own legend.
She is a passionate woman, quick to both anger and love, and is
feared at times for her penchant for setting things or people on
fire when she is angry.
She is a woman of contridictions, contridictions that are at times
explained by her devotion to Lady Luck and at others are explainable
by nothing more than her chaotic and multi-facted personality. Once
Elminster said of her, "As wild and untamed as the sea, ever changing,
yet remaining unchanged. Where the water is the stillest, it is the
deepest and most treacherous. Yet where the waves dance and play, often
the she is the most kind and welcoming."
Yet the legends remain, the tales of her crossing wits with Manshoon and
walking away, only to be taken from the Kingdoms when the damage done
to her spirit proved to be too great to bear. Her return from Tymora's
realm and her eventual tragic death at the hands of a follower of Beshaba.
Then the discovery of her wandering restless spirit and the tales of
her time spent trapped in the Nine Hells, and finally, her return to
the lands of the living by the hands of the Silverstar Luna and the
grace of Selune.
