Kellif

Kellif is a dwarven rider that currently attends Dragon Riders Academy with his dragon, Mithrim as the first of the new generation of riders.

History
Kellif was a dwarf of the clan Dûrgrimst Vrenshrrgn (The War Wolves) who was sent by Orik as a possible Dragon Rider candidate because of the dwarf boy sent King Orik and his clan chieftain, Grimstborith Íorûnn 20 letters each begging to be included and expressing his deep fascination and curiosity on dragons and those who rode them soon after Eragon sent his foster-brother word of the Academy's completion. Soon after reaching the Academy, Kellif visited the Hatchery and became drawn towards a purple egg of the deepest hue and speckled with drops of silver and violet, eventually touching it. Immediately, a burning sensation tore through his right arm and he fell back with a yell of pain, only for the pain to stop instantly and the scream turn to a gasp of awe as Kellif stared first at the Gedwëy ignasia now emblazoned on his right palm, and then turning his gaze to the small purple dragon wobbling up to look at him. At that moment, Ästrith, Blödhgarm and Hruthmund, the dwarven ambassador, who had been drawn by Kellif's cry of pain, arrived and were shocked into silent as they stared at the first ever dwarf rider. Soon after this, the dragonet named itself Mithrim and by the time Mithrim was old enough to fly, they were joined by another rider pair, this time an elf named Loivissa, and her white dragon Hvitr. With two riders now existing and after finding out that a large quantity of Brightsteel was among the academy's grounds, Eragon asked the smith, Rhunön to forge two swords for the rider protégés, to which she willingly helped make it, but only with the youngsters help. Kellif was delighted when he was presented to him, to which he named the deep violet sword Nángoröth (Mountains). By this time, Kellif and Loivissa had become close friends and were both assigned to be part of Emerald Winglet. Once Mithrim and Hvitr were large enough, they set out to the island, which Eragon and the elves had named Ília Skulblakar, which meant Island of Dragons, with Eragon, Saphira, the visiting Elf Queen and Dragon Rider Arya and her green dragon Fírnen. Kellif and Loivissa later travelled to the Beors to check on several disturbing flickers of lights seen by dwarves living near Astono Mountain and later attended the Agaetí Blödhren Blood-Oath Celebration in Tarnag with his companions before returning to the Academy.
