Elfrin Coralson of Nurhst



Elfrin was born in Nurhst to the warrior Korrin from the Nurhtish island of Noelia, and the maiden Freya, descended from Nurhisian royalty on her mother's side.

He is the ward of Ulred Hrethelson, and scribe to the Jarl of Hrethel. The Jarl of Hrethel at the beginning of the first book is Hord. He and the Hrethelson siblings grew up together and have a very playful relationship with each other. Perhaps more playful on the part of Astrid and Elfrin at times. Hord and Hrothgar would often tease Elfrin for being the only boy in Nurhst who was overly fond of books, but it was this reading, and his superb skill as a writer which allowed for much of their early success.

In the first book, he is very motivated to strike back at Urbs particularly because of the abduction of Astrid and Asa. He is instrumental in the establishment of the Nurhtish Empire, and eventually becomes its main scribe.
