Abstract
Elyna Calycanth comes from one of the smallest Webs in Kalinor. Her father never came back from a Harvest, her grandparents had died early, and she had no siblings. It was always just her mother and her. That was probably the reason why young Elyna decided to train as a hunter – she wanted to protect her mother and take care of her – rather than become a weaver, although she had won the weaving contest that is held every year during the Morning of the Moths in 470 AV.
Elyna was married once, to a man from the Acacia Web who was likewise an only child. They had a daughter together, but Elyna’s husband died nearly two decades ago, and her daughter has left Kalinor to try her luck on the surface. During all the time only a single letter reached Kalinor. Elyna’s daughter had fallen in love with a human and was about to give birth to a halfblood. As far as Elyna is concerned, she is the last member of the Calycanth Web now, and in a few short years, that Web will be gone.
Now that she is nearing sixty, Elyna has given up hunting and returned to her old passion – weaving. Hearing about how she won the contest as a girl, Alessa and Avarys Anthurium have offered the bitter, old woman a place at the Weft and Werp where she oversees the younger weavers and teaches them.
