Biography[]
Early life and education[]
Harailt of Aili is a mage and had his education at either the City of the Gods or the Carthaki University, both schools that are known for their prestigious programs in magic and sorcery. As Harailt is of Tortallan origin, he probably attended the City of Gods. He became a very powerful and scholarly mage.
He entered service under King Jonathan IV and Thayet I after the start of their reign in 439 HE.
Peace delegation to Carthak[]
Harailt was part of the peace delegation to Carthak, including Duke Gareth, Sir Gary, Alanna the Lioness, Martin of Meron, Numair Salmalín, and Veralidaine Sarrasri. He took part in the talks.[2]
When Kaddar Iliniat was asking Daine whether or not King Jonathan had anything as good as the imperial menagerie of Carthak, Harailt tactfully talked to him about King Jonathan's menagerie in Tortall and that it had exact replicas of the animals' old habitats.[3]
Work at the university[]
Keladry of Mindelan became acquainted with Harailt during her time as Lord Raoul's squire. He became her favorite civilian and non-soldier because of his friendliness.[4]
He helped make the land suitable for the construction of New Hope in 460 HE during the Scanran War and after the destruction of Haven and the killing of Blayce the Gallan. He accomplished this task along with Numair Salmalín.[5]
