'''Elyssbeth''' is the captain of the [[Niima’s Promise]], a ship that put into port at [[Caligos Isle]]. While on Caligos, she discovered a signet ring on the corpse of an ancient [[Ashrim]] elf and refused to leave. She was a devotee of [[Niima]] before being controlled by [[Ghezresh]]. She appeared as ''a silver-eyed lithe elven woman''.

== Appearance ==

<pre{{log2}}>Taller than average, the elven woman is lithe of body and lean of form. Resting at a jaunty angle on her brow is a black leather tricorn, which is framed by the riotous ebon curls that spill down her back. Streaks of indigo and silver stand out in the tresses, which mirror the silver of her eyes. A signet ring adorns her left hand and is the only jewelry that she wears.

Inside the Shore of Dreams, she had the following appearance:

<pre{{log2}}>[Shore of Dreams, Water's Edge]
Sunlit waves break upon a sandy beach banded in hues of grey, blue, and dusky violet. Thin strands of tangled kelp and other sea-borne flotsam have been washed ashore and lie arranged in scalloped lines by the tides. Iridescent shell fragments glimmer here and there, embedded in the mottled sand. You also see a silver-eyed lithe elven woman.
Obvious paths: north, south

>l woman
Laying on her back, her unshod feet extending to the gently lapping tide, Captain Elyssbeth slumbers within the wet sand with her pale face towards the star-strewn sky and her inky black curls forming storm clouds around her head. Indigo mist swirls across her face as she dreams, while her eyes roam feverishly beneath her nearly transparent eyelids.</pre>

Inside the Nightmare Tides, she had the following appearance:

<pre{{log2}}>[Carrack, Captain's Quarters]
Much of the chamber is submerged beneath inky black water. Only the top of the expansive window in the stern is visible above the swirling waterline, gaping like a maw with shattered glass teeth. Little that wasn't bolted down remains, and all that does is warped and waterlogged, with only salt-stained shreds of fabric and flecks of gilding left to hint at the luxury that once graced these quarters. A silver-eyed lithe elven woman is trapped beneath a heavy mahogany map table, and a swarm of dragon-headed indigo eels takes turns nipping at her. You also see a skewed wooden door hanging from one hinge.

>l woman
Trapped in a seated position near the back of the cabin, Captain Elyssbeth is ravaged by exposure. Her bruised eyes are closed, the lids nearly transparent as they race from side-to-side as she sleeps in the waist-deep water. One hand is limp at her side, while the other is stretched across that pins her in place, her hand reaching for salvation but finding no purchase.</pre>

==Ambients==
<pre{{log2}}>Mist slips through the area, causing a silver-eyed lithe elven woman to pause in her movements. She eyes the ethereal bands warily at first, but as they touch upon her, a look of quietude slips past her countenance, and her lips part in a sigh.

Lightning flashes in the distance, causing the lithe elven woman to draw a warding sign of a circle on her brow with her index finger.

Heavy bands of mist pass through the area and oddly, the lithe elven woman's eyes suddenly film over with an indigo light. A soft smile spreads across her lips as she gazes blindly about the area. "Yes," she quietly says. "Yes, I see it. Such beauty. Such promise." Slowly, she shakes her head, and her eyes clear, but the smile remains.

Slipping her hand to a sheath at her side, the lithe elven woman withdraws a simple dagger and begins to clean her fingernails. Trying to be surreptitious, she watches everything around her with a wary eye. After a moment, she flips the dagger in the air and sheaths it.</pre>

==Fate of Elyssbeth==
The Fate of Elyssbeth was decided in 5121 by taking part in the quest: [[A Tale of Love]].

===Messaging===
When the unicorn saved Elyssbeth in the Shore of Dreams, the following messaging resulted:

<pre{{log2}}>Prancing in the sand, her hooves making small crescents in the soft terrain, the unicorn moves to Captain Elyssbeth's side and flowers her horn to the cloud of mist that hovers over the woman's face. Brief flashes in the indigo substance draw a moan from the restless sleeper, but a silvery light radiates outwards from the unicorn's horn, evaporating the last dredges of the invader. Peaceful slumber settles of Captain Elyssbeth, a faint smile lifting her lips. Soft as a whisper, she sighs, "Jothi."</pre>
