Skills and Abilities:
Elmus is a singer, musician and dancer. His songs can bring out emotions in others, rise their spirits, or sink them into depression. He prefers to play the lute, but has also been known to use other instruments. Even his dancing can bring joy or sadness, depending on the circumstances.
Background:
Elmus lived with his family in the Dancing Forest, dancing and frolicking among the treepeople, fawns, nymphs, and other woodland Narnians. The troubles with the White Witch never concerned him, as he knew that, even though Aslan wasn’t around, He was always watching over them. One of the nymphs, his love, Sylvie, often sang and danced with him, bringing joy to all those who watched.
Everything started changing when Caspian invaded Narnia. Some of his brothers wanted to fight with other Narnians, to push back the invaders. He wasn’t a warrior, he was a musician, and wanted no part in the battles. Instead, he and Sylvie used their gifts to bring hope and courage to the Narnians. That was until news reached him of his brothers’ deaths at the hands of the Telmarines the summer after their initial invasion.
Elmus was heartbroken at the loss. His songs of joy and encouragement turned to melancholy sadness, loss, and even despair. For the first time, he began to ask where Aslan was, and why he wasn’t watching over them as he had in the past. He wondered what the Narnians had done wrong to be abandoned by him.
In the winter, filled with anger, Elmus joined the battle to destroy the Telmarines. He wasn’t a fighter, so he stayed in the back, playing music that would rouse the Narnians to battle and strength, while his own faltered as he saw the slaughter up close. As the battle turned against the Narnians, Elmus fled back to the Dancing Woods in humiliation and grief.
