Continuity/Elysa, Thorsten, and Borelean

There are details about Elysa Strathelar, Thorsten Cragstone, and Borelean Strathelar that have been somewhat inconsistent over the years. This article will address the following:

• The basic background of Elysa and Thorsten.
• The death of Thorsten, Elysa's pregnancy, Borelean's birth, and how these three elements relate to each other.
• Elysa moving off the mainland to live with Asheron.

Due the the nature of these elements, there will be some overlap between this article and the Olthoi Rebellion.

The Way of Steel:

Even the legendary Thorsten Cragstone started out not knowing which end of a sword has the point. He learned quickly, however, or he would have met his death much sooner, and we might all still be thralls of the Olthoi.

Writing Contest Results:

Elysa Strathelar, the expatriate ruler of the Aluvians in Dereth and slayer of the One Queen, was merely the daughter of a scribe.
