Half elves cannot be considered cream of the crop among elves. A good job makes a half-elf lucky. As for something like marriage, a half-elf might manage that if he has a name worth a dime.
Bludi Illiene has such a name. Yet, he lacks a wife and a good job. That is because his `family¿ deems him unwanted. The only one who considers him worth his real name is his mother, and she cannot keep him for fear of potential backlash.
How could a lowly half elf cause political backlash?
She isn't an ordinary elf which means Bludi isn't a ordinary half elf.
Her name is Queen Alaenia.
And Bludi? He was born Prince Bludi Illiene.
That title may be out of reach, but Bludi hopes to one day see his mother again.
