Elonica, Daughter of Derius Shimal, the Arch-Enchanter, a.k.a. Elony Wishborn

Cecil chanced upon Elony Wishborn in the summer of 888. A mysterious high elf maiden, the seelie faeries say that she is wishborn; that is, she was born, wished into being, by the wish of her father. A self-proclaimed protectoress of the forests of Dantareth, she is gilt in elfin plate crafted by the hands of her father, or so she claims. She wields a long sword and bow.

The Encyclonian Archer Company

Cecil arrived at Fort Amerstice, at the behest of Archbishop Lumnis, on the 26th of the Days of Green (May) in 888. Receiving a royal warrant of rank, a rank of officer often reserved for adventurers, he is placed as the executive officer of the 102nd battalion, 4th medium infantry regiment of Zlin under Major Allamar Viomane. Proving to be violent and scheming commander, Violame was challenged and undone by Cecil while only two weeks into his assignment. Backed up by the budding loyalty of Encyclonian soldiers-in-training, Cecil chased Viomane away after a short but fierce combat. Despite or perhaps because of this dramatic affair, on the 16th of Coming Warmth (June), Cecil is made commander of the troublesome Encyclonian archer company on the orders of the acting brigade commander, the fallen paladin Lt. Colonel Thaleo Lelendar.

Cecil's command was marked by a severe lack of funds and the general support of his superiors and the nearby units. Cecil donated the entirety of his pay to assist with the equipping and maintenance of his Encyclonian recruits. Without subordinate officers, Cecil had only two trained Pompiersian soldiers and instructors, namely Staff Sergeant Garomer and and Staff Sergean Kangrasen. After much trial, the archer company improved, and became increasingly loyal to Cecil. Establishing three training platoons, Cecil allowed further Encyclonian indigents to join his unit, including 100 women.

On the 10th of Still Heat (August), Cecil became involved with the affair of the red gem discovered by Arin Bolo, and the subsequent appearance of powerful undead. Amidst this affair, during a dispute with the callous Royal Magistrate of Fort Amerstice, Thalithon Legrand, Cecil drew his weapon against the cruel magistrate. In their combat, Cecil seriously wounded the magistrate. As the drawing of a magistrate's blood has the same consequences as drawing the blood of the Queen, Cecil was compelled to flee Fort Amerstice. Resigning his command and warrant before Thaleo Lelendar, who allowed the paladin's escape, Cecil left his soldiers, yet resolved to address the situation as soon as he could.

Cecil was aided much in his later days as commander of the Encyclonian archer company by a recruit named Atherathon, a devotee of St. Forion, who had the power of healing and fire.
