===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A former Emporion spice trader, the failure of both his sons (Nystros and Taelarn) to master Sorcery has caused him to take up the mantle. He knows that it will be centuries before he learns anything of real power at home in new Ta&#039;Faendryl and so decides to travel to Wehnimer&#039;s Landing, believing that the freedom of the frontier (&amp;quot;the Diaspora of Ta&#039;Faendryl&amp;quot; as Maltreis calls it) will allow his Sorcery to blossom.  Of course, his love [[Cyntherea]] traveled with him, his constant companion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You see Maltreis the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
He is tall.  He appears to be mature.  He has deep-set violet eyes and ashen skin.  He has long, flowing white hair with a black streak running through it.  He has a gaunt face, a sharp nose and long pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a dark-stained spiral lor runestaff capped with a three-pronged invar spire in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a crudely chiseled dreamstone amulet depicting a writhing mass of tentacles, a gray cloak with a black triangular hem that has smoky wisps atop each point, a cross-body thick leather runestaff harness, an alabaster silk shirt embroidered about the cuffs with golden whorls, some scarred double leather, a black leather wand belt clasped with a Faendryl crest-enameled buckle, a waxed black leather pouch, a faceted bronze-hued glaes scroll tube, some inky black cordetum pants with slightly frayed cuffs, and some heavy black cordovan boots.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{TOCright}}&lt;br /&gt;
Please feel free to add a brief description of your [[Platinum]] character(s) here.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== NPCS ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jeofrey ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Originally an evil magic user with plans for world domination, he created a group of Homunculi called [[Cast_of_characters#Sieka|Seika]]s to assist him in his work...as well as a vessel for his soul, a young child named Chayka. Through the efforts of various adventurers, he was dissuaded from his evil plan and convinced to walk instead the path of Light. Creating a golem body to inhabit instead of the child, he transferred his essence and became the Golem Lich. He has been missing for many months, along with his vessel Chayka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Leiana ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Leiana, daughter of the Thrak Inn proprietor Sabrien, has lived in Wehnimer&#039;s Landing most of her life. After losing her mother to disease at the age of 10, Leiana and her father moved to the Landing in search of community and business. She has never left the walls of the Frontier town until 5118 and has led a very sheltered life that bred privilege and a dangerous sense of curiosity as a result.  Acting upon that desire to explore, she has begun seeking out contracts for treasure and adventure across Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Seika ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
[[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]] created a total of 20 Seika Homunculi originally that awakened upon his death. Many were killed by a mob of villagers angry at the experiments her father, [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]], was performing in their village. After [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]] abandoned his evil plans, he deactivated 11 of them...but one Seika escaped his control and was able to absorb the essences of the others. She then was able to use [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]]&#039;s eye to become a lich herself. She has been tormenting [[Cast_of_characters#Qualeric|Qualeric]], possessing him and using his essence to create a group of hybrid bats and elves. Currently her whereabouts are unknown, but dark rumors surround her and her future plots to gain even more power. She has claimed to kill Chayka and [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]] herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Olivia ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
[[Olivia|Olivia Holster]], widow of Lord Eamon Murchadha and Mother of [[Jaynon]] Murchadha. Born into a lowborn Honneland family. Married into the Murchadha family (a minor noble house in Honneland) with a desire to improve her power, status and legacy. Fell in to the dark arts through societal pressures, and later following the death of her husband made a pact with and joined a clandestine order, in return for aid in her social climbing. She attempted, and ultimately failed, to have her son [[Jaynon]] killed and yet had already announced his death in the Immuron courts. This allowed her to marry Lord Holster (another minor Honneland noble, and former rival to Eamon), passing the Murchadha estates into his name and denying [[Jaynon|Jaynon]] his inheritance and birthright.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Players ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Achsel ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lead singer of the heavy metal band &#039;Mithril Mayhem&#039;, this gruff but friendly fellow is constantly on the look out for inspiration for his next song. With hits like &#039;Invar Mine Lady&#039;, &#039;On the Razern&#039;s Edge&#039;, and &#039;Caligos Isle&#039;, he and his fellow band member [[Cast_of_characters#Zundrar|Zundrar]] have played in such famous locales as The Bluerock Brewery in Zul Logoth, The Thrak Inn at the Landing, and even Caligos Isle itself. He doesn&#039;t pay much attention to politics, though he has a keen sense of right and wrong. He is also a bit of a lush, and has strong opinions on beards, music, and beer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Calauria ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shy and rather secretive Elven bard hails from Ta’Illistim, but shows little interest in returning. Possessed of proper, ladylike manners, she is easily taken aback by some of her acquaintances, particularly [[Cast_of_characters#Tanai|Tanai]], hinting at a sheltered upbringing. Her current itinerant and rather poor state, given her apparent background, could lead to disconcerting questions. In the past few months, she has started a relationship with Ulvian, grown friendlier, and developed a noticeable distrust of [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Daenamaryllis ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young woman that arrived in Wehnimer&#039;s Landing in the year of 5118.  She left home to take control of her own future rather than being married off as is the fate for most women.  She became an empath and an accomplished adventurer, performing jobs for the various branches of the Adventurer&#039;s Guilds located throughout the lands.  She tends to be a bit judgemental and does her best to help others in need, but chafes at her lack of power.  Power is what she believes will provide her with security and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dazen ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full of boundless energy that could only be described as &#039;manic&#039;, the always cheerful jester seems in a perpetual state of song, dance, and fits of laughter.  Dazen and his twin brother Vinar were abandoned by a traveling Carnival of Freaks for dubious reasons, though it is implied it was because they were getting too old for their act and becoming too hard to control.  Often hinting at a past of horrid abuse and gleefully reveling in those memories with clapping hands and squealing giggles, Dazen seems to outright revel in pain both inflicted and sustained.  Obsessed with fire and the &#039;Dancing Light&#039;, he also babbles about a mysterious Lady in White with burnt out eyes with reverence and awe. &amp;quot;Watch them dance in the dancing light, we&#039;ll sing them back and dance all night!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ezabell ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Ezabell hasn’t been seen since she was a toddler on the 30th of Jastatos.  She’d been carried through the portal that night in the arms of an Aelotoi man, no relations to the child he carried.  After he’d hid her away for protection when the kiramon came through the portal after the Aelotoi, she was gone.  Now she’s rejoined Elanthian society, albeit, a little off than any normal teenager.  She doesn’t talk much about where she’s been the last 16 years but is all too eager to mention her favorite ways to tear local wild nuisances apart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gedeon ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gedeon was raised in the Wsalamir Arctic Clan, and yet he doesn&#039;t share the need for seclusion like most the clan. Gedeon enjoys being out amongst others and heeds the call for adventure.  While he is a quiet man, he is a devout follower of Ronan and became a paladin in Ronan&#039;s honor.  He would often visit the temple in Icemule to say his prayers, but lately, you can see him wandering with his new found companion, Jourwen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Graison ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Paladin of Lord Voln, [[Graison]] is dedicated to releasing the trapped souls within the undead. This was his passion since he was a young child when he wanted to follow in his father&#039;s footsteps. He also had a vision of Lord Voln visiting him in a dream when he was a young boy. He has recently helped protect Wehnimer&#039;s Landing from those fallen from their faith of the Order of Voln. On a personal quest, Graison has learned he has a younger sister that was born from his father and another woman. Her name is [[Sayakah]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Heliantha ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twin to Roseantha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Idun ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Child-like and free spirited, Idun is kind, very friendly and genuinely cares about others. She loves to be helpful and is easily entertained, usually finding joy in small things.  A difficult and isolated past has had a profound effect on her.  She is most comfortable with another in control.  Idun can be unpredictable and is a bit &amp;quot;touched&amp;quot;, even unstable at times. She is loyal to a fault and values those in her life above all else.  Her dislike of being alone is somewhat mitigated by her love of gowns, toys and visits with her animal friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ilynriel ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ilynriel left her home in Ta’Ardenai to improve her skills as a warrior and train with the Guardians of Sunfist, and can most often be found in Ta’Illistim or Ta’Vaalor. Born a bastard, she has steadfastly ignored her father’s side of the family all her life, but is now finding it rather harder to avoid at least one of her half-siblings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ishvari ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A banished Priestess of Lumnis, this knowledge-thirsty Faendryl found an alternative method to become an empath (but not without some heavy side-effects). She is polite, somewhat quiet, and very ladylike although she is not above the &amp;lt;del&amp;gt;frequent&amp;lt;/del&amp;gt; occasional snide remark. Currently, she is often seen with the Dhe&#039;nar, Xindrell, as they are united in a mission yet to be revealed to anyone other than themselves. She is self-conscious of her pale skin, and dislikes anyone staring at her one crimson-hued eye for too long. They can stare at her silver eye all they want, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jaired ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to live his best life and leave his checkered past behind, Jaired keeps getting drawn back into the troubles of the world.  Once a thief, once a burglar, and once an assassin.  Once a Lord Marshal, once a Warden of Charl, and once a simple barkeep. Through it all he has remained a professional meddler.  For reasons beyond his understanding he is once again burdened with the mantle of a Spirit Walker, a particular state in which he is forced to tread in a state between life and undeath. Husband to Leiana, they now look towards the horizon and the beckoning call of adventure upon their ship, The Whispering Muse... if only they could break away from it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jaynon ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Formerly a Paladin of Voln, he has recently heard the call of the Sea...partly due to his affiliation with the rogue Tanai. Lord Whick and Jaynon have been bitter enemies, with Jaynon taking a leading role in the prosecution of Whick after his arrest for the kidnapping of Leiana and murder of Izaar. He is a guardian in combat, fighting with a sword and shield, more concerned with the protection of his allies than a quick and easy win. He values honour above all else, and is honest to a fault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jourwen ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jourwen doesn&#039;t know much about her parents, only that her mother was an entertainer to men as they travelled through Highmount onto Kragswell.  Jourwen was sent to River&#039;s Rest when she was 5 years old to get an education from the cleric&#039;s guild there and learn the teachings of Ronan, Lord of Dreams.  Now, as a young adult, she visits temples and shrines learning what she can about Ronan and aiding those in need with her companion, Gedeon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kaija ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young Aelotoi orphan recently adopted by [[Cast_of_characters#Jaynon|Jaynon]] and [[Cast_of_characters#Tanai|Tanai]], she has finally chosen Niima as her patron deity, also deciding to follow her adopted father&#039;s footsteps in joining the Order of Voln. She is a teenage girl whose emotions are in a constant state of fluctuation, and she often takes them out on her adopted brother, Luca. Normally quiet and polite, Kaija has a tendency to be a know-it-all and correct people if they use bad grammar (usually tormenting Luca with her prim corrections to his amusement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kiver ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Named after the boat he was found in, Kiver washed ashore as a babe at [[Maelstrom Bay]] in [[River&#039;s Rest]]. He was adopted into the arms of a reclusive sect of druids. The Half-Krol found his calling not with the old Gods of his [[Klinast]], but instead a militant dedication to the Goddess [[Imaera]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lilium ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lilium]]&#039;s origins are as strange as her appearance.  One day she appeared on [[Lorminstra]]&#039;s Altar in the [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] Temple without any memories or possessions to explain who she is or how she came to be there.  She took her appearance on Lorminstra&#039;s Altar as a sign to dedicate herself to the Goddess.  As a Master in the Order of Voln, Lilium is quite zealous in scouring the undead from all of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent events involving Lord Whick and the death of Bareth have caused Lilium to reconsider her role in safeguarding the souls of the innocent.  A more proactive approach, rather than reactive, might be the best way to prevent another tragedy from occurring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Luthene ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having called both New Ta&#039;Faendryl and Ta&#039;Nalfein home at different points in his life, Luthene is now in the process of exploring other regions while plying his trades as locksmith, loresinger, and lapidary.  His coloring is considered suspiciously dark for a Nalfein elf by some, his blue eyes uncharacteristic of a Faendryl by others. A bastard by both blood and inclination, he has a deep appreciation for the proper application of violence as well as the crisp lines of a well-tailored coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Maltreis_(platinum)|Maltreis]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maltreis is a former Emporion spice trader, which is to say in Faendryl society a spy.  The failure of both his sons (Nystros and Taelarn) to master Sorcery has caused him to take up the mantle of the Art so his family could gain in prestiege.  He knows that it will be centuries before he learns anything of real power at home in new Ta&#039;Faendryl and so decides to travel to Wehnimer&#039;s Landing, believing that the freedom of the frontier (&amp;quot;the Diaspora of Ta&#039;Faendryl&amp;quot; as Maltreis calls it) will allow his Sorcery to blossom. Of course, his love Cyntherea traveled with him, his constant companion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maralah ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Ta’Loenthra, Maralah began traveling after the untimely death of her twin brother as well as the beginning of Jastev-granted dreams and visions. While she prefers to stick to the Elven Nations, she can often be found in Mist Harbor or Wehnimer’s Landing as well.  Understandably reticent about being a sorceress, she strives to balance this by being a member of Voln, but lacks the proper mindset about undead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Oezzilm ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oezzilm is a local farmer of pumpkins, turnips, and carrots near the Landing.  He hopes to eventually have an entire herd of urghs and roltons, but so far he has only one of each.  He can be found selling produce around town, fresh after coming from his fields.  He has a brother who is great at plowing, and a collection of hoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Phocosoen ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone deserves to be free and [[Phocosoen]] will always oppose those that seek to enslave others against their will like any member of the [[Maeramil Wind Runner Clan]] should.  Boisterous and outgoing, he loves nothing more than regaling others with the numerous ways in which he crushes his enemies on a daily basis.  The [[Guardians of Sunfist]] have no shortage of enemies and Phocosoen is a proud member that is all too happy to mercilessly slaughter [[orc]]s, [[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, and [[giant]]s.  Freedom, muscles, and a song in his heart is all a man needs to enjoy life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Qadheon ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qadheon is a Faendryl monk and proprieter of [[https://ps.lichproject.org/shops/6077 Ta&#039;Faendryl Importers]], a business located in the Landing.  In addition to this, he has been searching for some lost artifacts, but rumor has it he is not very focused on this task.  He has been seen worshipping [[Ghezresh]] on Caligos Isle and made mention of importing that spirit&#039;s presence to the Isle of Four Winds.  Despite this intrigue, he is a generally nice fellow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Qoshkalia ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qoshkalia is a Faendryl paladin of Fash&#039;lo&#039;nae dedicated to learning, particularly the use of bladed weapons.  In the pursuit of this, she has been recognized as a Palestra of the Peltast rank.  Recently she has been seen working with [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] in his actions in the Landing, though the exact reasoning is unclear.  Word has it that she originally came to the Landing to work on finding some ancient artifacts for a Sorcerer in Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Qualeric ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Qualeric]] is an elderly wizard,  student of the arcane, and an active follower of [[Jastev]].  Hailing from Ta&#039;Illistim, he enjoys learning, raining destruction upon usurpers, and all the opportunities the Shining City represents.  He is currently engaged in sorting through some things owned by his widow that were recently found in an old storage shed, as well as attempting to discover a new metal which he believes exists but is otherwise undocumented.  His familiar is a bat named Klysmar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rafferty ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A rustic half-elf from the edges of the Wyrdeep Forest, [[Rafferty]] is wary of towns and their folk but cautiously open to broadening his horizons. He&#039;s got little patience for airs and graces, and bullies make him grouchy. Though he keeps his problems to himself, he&#039;s willing to lend a hand where he&#039;s able. Literally, if you&#039;re missing one. A friend to many birds, he can sometimes be found in the company of a peg-legged parrot or a small flock of parrotlets. For some reason, people keep mistaking him for a pirate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ravenfritha ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Calm, quiet, and a skilled mediator, [[Ravenfritha]] (or Raven to her friends) prefers healing to fighting, though she isn’t above hunting undead when necessary. She currently resides in Mist Harbor but spends most of her time in the Landing where her twin brother, [[Tygerfrith]], spends most of his time, though their past was spent in other lands with far different prospects. She enjoys alchemy and fletching as well as other crafts, and can sometimes be taken over by an imp of mischief, encouraged by some and discouraged by others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Roseantha ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twin to Heliantha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tanai ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanai is an orphaned street-rat with a mysterious past. She loves sweets, the ocean, [[Cast_of_characters#Jaynon|Jaynon]], and her children, not necessarily in that order. She considers [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] one of her mortal enemies, especially after being possessed and manipulated by him for a time. She is finally learning what a family entails, as she and Jaynon are the proud parents to Eamon, their natural born son, and Kaija and Luca, two orphans they adopted. She can be very blunt, downright rude, and occasionally volatile. She is also, however, fiercely loyal, kind-hearted (at times), and enthusiastic (especially for sweets).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thresher ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quiet man, this Half-Krolvin is very devout in his worship of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[::Marlu|Marlu, the Lord of Destruction]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Despite the stereotype surrounding Marluites, Thresher himself is a kind soul, not wishing any undue harm or pain to anyone. However, he is of the firm belief that the only way to have lasting peace on Elanthia is to &#039;start fresh&#039;...by burning what is, so something new may grow. He believes Undead are an Abomination to his Lord...and fights against any who practice such arts fiercely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Valewyn ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of a [[::Order_of_Lorekeepers|Lorekeeper]] and an [[:Artificers|Artificer]], Valewyn was taught at an early age the values of wisdom and justice and as such found himself devoted to Koar. Often perceived as distant and aloof, he prefers brevity and being succinct. During the invasions brought upon his home of [[::Ta&#039;Illistim|Ta&#039;Illistim]] by Vindicto, his soul was ripped apart and sent scattering throughout the planes where he spent what seemed like eternity. Eventually coming face to face with [[::Marlu|Marlu, the Lord of Destruction]], he pledged servitude in exchange for life. Now, he values the pursuit of personal power above all else, though he is not above cracking a joke from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Whick ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[::Whick|Great Lord Whick]]&#039;&#039;&#039; is polite, personable, and a man of many talents and much knowledge. He is gracious, can be kind, and he always is ready to help out those in need. At the same time, he is an unrepentant murderer and has a sadistic streak that runs deep. There is much speculation as to who his true masters are. Though he claims to be working for the Empire and the Hall of Mages (and many records will confirm that), dark whispers in the shadows speak of his true loyalty lying to something...other. He is meticulous and clever, preferring manipulation to brute force. He values order and security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{TOCright}}&lt;br /&gt;
Please feel free to add a brief description of your [[Platinum]] character(s) here.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== NPCS ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jeofrey ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Originally an evil magic user with plans for world domination, he created a group of Homunculi called [[Cast_of_characters#Sieka|Seika]]s to assist him in his work...as well as a vessel for his soul, a young child named Chayka. Through the efforts of various adventurers, he was dissuaded from his evil plan and convinced to walk instead the path of Light. Creating a golem body to inhabit instead of the child, he transferred his essence and became the Golem Lich. He has been missing for many months, along with his vessel Chayka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Leiana ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Leiana, daughter of the Thrak Inn proprietor Sabrien, has lived in Wehnimer&#039;s Landing most of her life. After losing her mother to disease at the age of 10, Leiana and her father moved to the Landing in search of community and business. She has never left the walls of the Frontier town until 5118 and has led a very sheltered life that bred privilege and a dangerous sense of curiosity as a result.  Acting upon that desire to explore, she has begun seeking out contracts for treasure and adventure across Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Seika ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
[[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]] created a total of 20 Seika Homunculi originally that awakened upon his death. Many were killed by a mob of villagers angry at the experiments her father, [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]], was performing in their village. After [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]] abandoned his evil plans, he deactivated 11 of them...but one Seika escaped his control and was able to absorb the essences of the others. She then was able to use [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]]&#039;s eye to become a lich herself. She has been tormenting [[Cast_of_characters#Qualeric|Qualeric]], possessing him and using his essence to create a group of hybrid bats and elves. Currently her whereabouts are unknown, but dark rumors surround her and her future plots to gain even more power. She has claimed to kill Chayka and [[Cast_of_characters#Jeofrey|Jeofrey]] herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Olivia ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
[[Olivia|Olivia Holster]], widow of Lord Eamon Murchadha and Mother of [[Jaynon]] Murchadha. Born into a lowborn Honneland family. Married into the Murchadha family (a minor noble house in Honneland) with a desire to improve her power, status and legacy. Fell in to the dark arts through societal pressures, and later following the death of her husband made a pact with and joined a clandestine order, in return for aid in her social climbing. She attempted, and ultimately failed, to have her son [[Jaynon]] killed and yet had already announced his death in the Immuron courts. This allowed her to marry Lord Holster (another minor Honneland noble, and former rival to Eamon), passing the Murchadha estates into his name and denying [[Jaynon|Jaynon]] his inheritance and birthright.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Players ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Achsel ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lead singer of the heavy metal band &#039;Mithril Mayhem&#039;, this gruff but friendly fellow is constantly on the look out for inspiration for his next song. With hits like &#039;Invar Mine Lady&#039;, &#039;On the Razern&#039;s Edge&#039;, and &#039;Caligos Isle&#039;, he and his fellow band member [[Cast_of_characters#Zundrar|Zundrar]] have played in such famous locales as The Bluerock Brewery in Zul Logoth, The Thrak Inn at the Landing, and even Caligos Isle itself. He doesn&#039;t pay much attention to politics, though he has a keen sense of right and wrong. He is also a bit of a lush, and has strong opinions on beards, music, and beer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Calauria ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shy and rather secretive Elven bard hails from Ta’Illistim, but shows little interest in returning. Possessed of proper, ladylike manners, she is easily taken aback by some of her acquaintances, particularly [[Cast_of_characters#Tanai|Tanai]], hinting at a sheltered upbringing. Her current itinerant and rather poor state, given her apparent background, could lead to disconcerting questions. In the past few months, she has started a relationship with Ulvian, grown friendlier, and developed a noticeable distrust of [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Daenamaryllis ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young woman that arrived in Wehnimer&#039;s Landing in the year of 5118.  She left home to take control of her own future rather than being married off as is the fate for most women.  She became an empath and an accomplished adventurer, performing jobs for the various branches of the Adventurer&#039;s Guilds located throughout the lands.  She tends to be a bit judgemental and does her best to help others in need, but chafes at her lack of power.  Power is what she believes will provide her with security and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dazen ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full of boundless energy that could only be described as &#039;manic&#039;, the always cheerful jester seems in a perpetual state of song, dance, and fits of laughter.  Dazen and his twin brother Vinar were abandoned by a traveling Carnival of Freaks for dubious reasons, though it is implied it was because they were getting too old for their act and becoming too hard to control.  Often hinting at a past of horrid abuse and gleefully reveling in those memories with clapping hands and squealing giggles, Dazen seems to outright revel in pain both inflicted and sustained.  Obsessed with fire and the &#039;Dancing Light&#039;, he also babbles about a mysterious Lady in White with burnt out eyes with reverence and awe. &amp;quot;Watch them dance in the dancing light, we&#039;ll sing them back and dance all night!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ezabell ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Ezabell hasn’t been seen since she was a toddler on the 30th of Jastatos.  She’d been carried through the portal that night in the arms of an Aelotoi man, no relations to the child he carried.  After he’d hid her away for protection when the kiramon came through the portal after the Aelotoi, she was gone.  Now she’s rejoined Elanthian society, albeit, a little off than any normal teenager.  She doesn’t talk much about where she’s been the last 16 years but is all too eager to mention her favorite ways to tear local wild nuisances apart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gedeon ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gedeon was raised in the Wsalamir Arctic Clan, and yet he doesn&#039;t share the need for seclusion like most the clan. Gedeon enjoys being out amongst others and heeds the call for adventure.  While he is a quiet man, he is a devout follower of Ronan and became a paladin in Ronan&#039;s honor.  He would often visit the temple in Icemule to say his prayers, but lately, you can see him wandering with his new found companion, Jourwen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Graison ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Paladin of Lord Voln, [[Graison]] is dedicated to releasing the trapped souls within the undead. This was his passion since he was a young child when he wanted to follow in his father&#039;s footsteps. He also had a vision of Lord Voln visiting him in a dream when he was a young boy. He has recently helped protect Wehnimer&#039;s Landing from those fallen from their faith of the Order of Voln. On a personal quest, Graison has learned he has a younger sister that was born from his father and another woman. Her name is [[Sayakah]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Heliantha ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twin to Roseantha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Idun ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Child-like and free spirited, Idun is kind, very friendly and genuinely cares about others. She loves to be helpful and is easily entertained, usually finding joy in small things.  A difficult and isolated past has had a profound effect on her.  She is most comfortable with another in control.  Idun can be unpredictable and is a bit &amp;quot;touched&amp;quot;, even unstable at times. She is loyal to a fault and values those in her life above all else.  Her dislike of being alone is somewhat mitigated by her love of gowns, toys and visits with her animal friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ilynriel ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ilynriel left her home in Ta’Ardenai to improve her skills as a warrior and train with the Guardians of Sunfist, and can most often be found in Ta’Illistim or Ta’Vaalor. Born a bastard, she has steadfastly ignored her father’s side of the family all her life, but is now finding it rather harder to avoid at least one of her half-siblings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ishvari ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A banished Priestess of Lumnis, this knowledge-thirsty Faendryl found an alternative method to become an empath (but not without some heavy side-effects). She is polite, somewhat quiet, and very ladylike although she is not above the &amp;lt;del&amp;gt;frequent&amp;lt;/del&amp;gt; occasional snide remark. Currently, she is often seen with the Dhe&#039;nar, Xindrell, as they are united in a mission yet to be revealed to anyone other than themselves. She is self-conscious of her pale skin, and dislikes anyone staring at her one crimson-hued eye for too long. They can stare at her silver eye all they want, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jaired ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to live his best life and leave his checkered past behind, Jaired keeps getting drawn back into the troubles of the world.  Once a thief, once a burglar, and once an assassin.  Once a Lord Marshal, once a Warden of Charl, and once a simple barkeep. Through it all he has remained a professional meddler.  For reasons beyond his understanding he is once again burdened with the mantle of a Spirit Walker, a particular state in which he is forced to tread in a state between life and undeath. Husband to Leiana, they now look towards the horizon and the beckoning call of adventure upon their ship, The Whispering Muse... if only they could break away from it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jaynon ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Formerly a Paladin of Voln, he has recently heard the call of the Sea...partly due to his affiliation with the rogue Tanai. Lord Whick and Jaynon have been bitter enemies, with Jaynon taking a leading role in the prosecution of Whick after his arrest for the kidnapping of Leiana and murder of Izaar. He is a guardian in combat, fighting with a sword and shield, more concerned with the protection of his allies than a quick and easy win. He values honour above all else, and is honest to a fault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jourwen ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jourwen doesn&#039;t know much about her parents, only that her mother was an entertainer to men as they travelled through Highmount onto Kragswell.  Jourwen was sent to River&#039;s Rest when she was 5 years old to get an education from the cleric&#039;s guild there and learn the teachings of Ronan, Lord of Dreams.  Now, as a young adult, she visits temples and shrines learning what she can about Ronan and aiding those in need with her companion, Gedeon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kaija ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young Aelotoi orphan recently adopted by [[Cast_of_characters#Jaynon|Jaynon]] and [[Cast_of_characters#Tanai|Tanai]], she has finally chosen Niima as her patron deity, also deciding to follow her adopted father&#039;s footsteps in joining the Order of Voln. She is a teenage girl whose emotions are in a constant state of fluctuation, and she often takes them out on her adopted brother, Luca. Normally quiet and polite, Kaija has a tendency to be a know-it-all and correct people if they use bad grammar (usually tormenting Luca with her prim corrections to his amusement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kiver ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Named after the boat he was found in, Kiver washed ashore as a babe at [[Maelstrom Bay]] in [[River&#039;s Rest]]. He was adopted into the arms of a reclusive sect of druids. The Half-Krol found his calling not with the old Gods of his [[Klinast]], but instead a militant dedication to the Goddess [[Imaera]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lilium ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lilium]]&#039;s origins are as strange as her appearance.  One day she appeared on [[Lorminstra]]&#039;s Altar in the [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] Temple without any memories or possessions to explain who she is or how she came to be there.  She took her appearance on Lorminstra&#039;s Altar as a sign to dedicate herself to the Goddess.  As a Master in the Order of Voln, Lilium is quite zealous in scouring the undead from all of Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent events involving Lord Whick and the death of Bareth have caused Lilium to reconsider her role in safeguarding the souls of the innocent.  A more proactive approach, rather than reactive, might be the best way to prevent another tragedy from occurring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Luthene ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having called both New Ta&#039;Faendryl and Ta&#039;Nalfein home at different points in his life, Luthene is now in the process of exploring other regions while plying his trades as locksmith, loresinger, and lapidary.  His coloring is considered suspiciously dark for a Nalfein elf by some, his blue eyes uncharacteristic of a Faendryl by others. A bastard by both blood and inclination, he has a deep appreciation for the proper application of violence as well as the crisp lines of a well-tailored coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Maltreis_(platinum)|Maltreis]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maltreis is a former Emporion spice trader, which is to say in Faendryl society a spy.  The failure of both his sons (Nystros and Taelarn) to master Sorcery has caused him to take up the mantle of the Art so his family could gain in prestiege.  He knows that it will be centuries before he learns anything of real power at home in new Ta&#039;Faendryl and so decides to travel to Wehnimer&#039;s Landing, believing that the freedom of the frontier (&amp;quot;the Diaspora of Ta&#039;Faendryl&amp;quot; as Maltreis calls it) will allow his Sorcery to blossom. Of course, his love Cyntherea traveled with him, his constant companion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maralah ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Ta’Loenthra, Maralah began traveling after the untimely death of her twin brother as well as the beginning of Jastev-granted dreams and visions. While she prefers to stick to the Elven Nations, she can often be found in Mist Harbor or Wehnimer’s Landing as well.  Understandably reticent about being a sorceress, she strives to balance this by being a member of Voln, but lacks the proper mindset about undead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Oezzilm ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oezzilm is a local farmer of pumpkins, turnips, and carrots near the Landing.  He hopes to eventually have an entire herd of urghs and roltons, but so far he has only one of each.  He can be found selling produce around town, fresh after coming from his fields.  He has a brother who is great at plowing, and a collection of hoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Phocosoen ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone deserves to be free and [[Phocosoen]] will always oppose those that seek to enslave others against their will like any member of the [[Maeramil Wind Runner Clan]] should.  Boisterous and outgoing, he loves nothing more than regaling others with the numerous ways in which he crushes his enemies on a daily basis.  The [[Guardians of Sunfist]] have no shortage of enemies and Phocosoen is a proud member that is all too happy to mercilessly slaughter [[orc]]s, [[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, and [[giant]]s.  Freedom, muscles, and a song in his heart is all a man needs to enjoy life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Qadheon ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qadheon is a Faendryl monk and proprieter of [[https://ps.lichproject.org/shops/6077 Ta&#039;Faendryl Importers]], a business located in the Landing.  In addition to this, he has been searching for some lost artifacts, but rumor has it he is not very focused on this task.  He has been seen worshipping [[Ghezresh]] on Caligos Isle and made mention of importing that spirit&#039;s presence to the Isle of Four Winds.  Despite this intrigue, he is a generally nice fellow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Qoshkalia ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qoshkalia is a Faendryl paladin of Fash&#039;lo&#039;nae dedicated to learning, particularly the use of bladed weapons.  In the pursuit of this, she has been recognized as a Palestra of the Peltast rank.  Recently she has been seen working with [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] in his actions in the Landing, though the exact reasoning is unclear.  Word has it that she originally came to the Landing to work on finding some ancient artifacts for a Sorcerer in Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Qualeric ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Qualeric]] is an elderly wizard,  student of the arcane, and an active follower of [[Jastev]].  Hailing from Ta&#039;Illistim, he enjoys learning, raining destruction upon usurpers, and all the opportunities the Shining City represents.  He is currently engaged in sorting through some things owned by his widow that were recently found in an old storage shed, as well as attempting to discover a new metal which he believes exists but is otherwise undocumented.  His familiar is a bat named Klysmar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rafferty ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A rustic half-elf from the edges of the Wyrdeep Forest, [[Rafferty]] is wary of towns and their folk but cautiously open to broadening his horizons. He&#039;s got little patience for airs and graces, and bullies make him grouchy. Though he keeps his problems to himself, he&#039;s willing to lend a hand where he&#039;s able. Literally, if you&#039;re missing one. A friend to many birds, he can sometimes be found in the company of a peg-legged parrot or a small flock of parrotlets. For some reason, people keep mistaking him for a pirate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ravenfritha ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Calm, quiet, and a skilled mediator, [[Ravenfritha]] (or Raven to her friends) prefers healing to fighting, though she isn’t above hunting undead when necessary. She currently resides in Mist Harbor but spends most of her time in the Landing where her twin brother, [[Tygerfrith]], spends most of his time, though their past was spent in other lands with far different prospects. She enjoys alchemy and fletching as well as other crafts, and can sometimes be taken over by an imp of mischief, encouraged by some and discouraged by others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Roseantha ===&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twin to Heliantha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tanai ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanai is an orphaned street-rat with a mysterious past. She loves sweets, the ocean, [[Cast_of_characters#Jaynon|Jaynon]], and her children, not necessarily in that order. She considers [[Cast_of_characters#Whick|Lord Whick]] one of her mortal enemies, especially after being possessed and manipulated by him for a time. She is finally learning what a family entails, as she and Jaynon are the proud parents to Eamon, their natural born son, and Kaija and Luca, two orphans they adopted. She can be very blunt, downright rude, and occasionally volatile. She is also, however, fiercely loyal, kind-hearted (at times), and enthusiastic (especially for sweets).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thresher ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quiet man, this Half-Krolvin is very devout in his worship of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[::Marlu|Marlu, the Lord of Destruction]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Despite the stereotype surrounding Marluites, Thresher himself is a kind soul, not wishing any undue harm or pain to anyone. However, he is of the firm belief that the only way to have lasting peace on Elanthia is to &#039;start fresh&#039;...by burning what is, so something new may grow. He believes Undead are an Abomination to his Lord...and fights against any who practice such arts fiercely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Valewyn ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of a [[::Order_of_Lorekeepers|Lorekeeper]] and an [[:Artificers|Artificer]], Valewyn was taught at an early age the values of wisdom and justice and as such found himself devoted to Koar. Often perceived as distant and aloof, he prefers brevity and being succinct. During the invasions brought upon his home of [[::Ta&#039;Illistim|Ta&#039;Illistim]] by Vindicto, his soul was ripped apart and sent scattering throughout the planes where he spent what seemed like eternity. Eventually coming face to face with [[::Marlu|Marlu, the Lord of Destruction]], he pledged servitude in exchange for life. Now, he values the pursuit of personal power above all else, though he is not above cracking a joke from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Whick ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[::Whick|Great Lord Whick]]&#039;&#039;&#039; is polite, personable, and a man of many talents and much knowledge. He is gracious, can be kind, and he always is ready to help out those in need. At the same time, he is an unrepentant murderer and has a sadistic streak that runs deep. There is much speculation as to who his true masters are. Though he claims to be working for the Empire and the Hall of Mages (and many records will confirm that), dark whispers in the shadows speak of his true loyalty lying to something...other. He is meticulous and clever, preferring manipulation to brute force. He values order and security.&lt;br /&gt;

===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A former Emporion spice trader, the failure of both his sons (Nystros and Taelarn) to master Sorcery has caused him to take up the mantle. He knows that it will be centuries before he learns anything of real power at home in new Ta&#039;Faendryl and so decides to travel to Wehnimer&#039;s Landing, believing that the freedom of the frontier (&amp;quot;the Diaspora of Ta&#039;Faendryl&amp;quot; as Maltreis calls it) will allow his Sorcery to blossom.  Of course, his love [[Cyntherea]] traveled with him, his constant companion.&lt;br /&gt;

You see Maltreis the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
He is tall.  He appears to be mature.  He has deep-set violet eyes and ashen skin.  He has long, flowing white hair with a black streak running through it.  He has a gaunt face, a sharp nose and long pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a dark-stained spiral lor runestaff capped with a three-pronged invar spire in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a crudely chiseled dreamstone amulet depicting a writhing mass of tentacles, a gray cloak with a black triangular hem that has smoky wisps atop each point, a cross-body thick leather runestaff harness, an alabaster silk shirt embroidered about the cuffs with golden whorls, some scarred double leather, a black leather wand belt clasped with a Faendryl crest-enameled buckle, a waxed black leather pouch, some inky black cordetum pants with slightly frayed cuffs, and some heavy black cordovan boots.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Let us start by talking about worship.  Actual Arkati worship is considered by the Faendryl to be gauche at best or openly derided and discriminated against at worst.  If they venerate anything, it is their Patriarch, whom they believe will guide them to ever-greater heights in power and knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a few notable exceptions to this, though.  These are Fash&#039;lo&#039;nae and Amasalen.  Fash&#039;lo&#039;nae is arguably the most respected of the Arkati by the Faendryl.  Seen as the father of knowledge, many view Him as the embodiment of the Faendryl drive for knowledge at all costs.  Amasalen is respected and considered by many an example of what Faendryl can achieve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most Faendryl see no difference between Lornon and Liabo Arkati, even though some outside perceptions are that they favor the darker Arkati.  Most of the other Arkati that outsiders might associate with the Faendryl (Mularos, Sheru, etc.) are barely thought about by most Faendryl at all.  In reality, Faendryl society reflects both aspects of Lornon and Liabo Arkati equally, as do most other societies.  It is just that the Faendryl do not attribute these qualities in their own lives to a connection with the Arkati, making them unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, the Faendryl do not see the Arkati as  gods  at all, only beings with greater power that the Faendryl know they can achieve.  They see the flaws in the Arkati as reflecting exactly those of the mortal races.  It is merely power that separates a Faendryl from an Arkati, and many a Faendryl have dreams of this apotheosis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faendryl clerics are a bit of an enigma. Most clergy in other societies worship other gods, having their holy powers granted by such beings. The Faendryl priests do not consider themselves followers of any deity, most claiming that they work their magic like any sorcerer or empath might. The power to turn the Undead, they explain, comes from having learned to manipulate the energies around Rhoska&#039;Tor, as that was where the Undead were first created.  Resurrection and the power over life and death is an elementary exercise of will and magery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now let us talk about the beliefs of certain Faendryl Clerics. These clerics, who profess to worship nothing, see their powers coming from their own spiritual beings. They also believe that they can eventually achieve immortality and apotheosis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This argument is largely derided by their Sorcerous peers, as it is common belief that such transcendence can only be achieved by means of Sorcery.  Both sides of the argument have merit.  Amasalen certainly ascended before or during the infancy of Sorcery.  However there is no doubt in most Faendryl s minds that Sorcery has moved their people closer to Ascendancy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Despana]] is a figure who changed the very course of history, and yet incredibly little is known about her.  In fact her General [[Dharthiir]] the Arch-Lich has more written about him.  Her early history is lost to time and even her race is in question.  I’ll not repeat known facts, little as they are, in this paper: instead, I will concentrate on what is known, which are the influences Despana has had on our society.  Necromancy and Summoning, the fall of Elven supremacy on Elanith, and the exile as well as the diaspora; all these things can be lain at her feet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So little do we know about Despana that the only known depiction of her is the famous bust in the Wehnimer’s Landing museum.  It is likely a projection by an artist as historical fact and place of origin demonstrate that Despana was either a human desert nomad or a roaming Elf.  Due to her mythological status, she may well be a scapegoat sort of &amp;quot;witch&amp;quot;, where one would take a rebel who fought back against elven imperialism and transform her into a human witch, rather than a being akin to the Faendryl.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the Undead War, Faendryl society was much like that of the other Elven city-states, believing themselves enlightened by dint of their status as rulers of the Elves.  [[Sorcery]] was being developed, and the Valence had already been breached.  My ancestors were not prepared to unleash their new found Art in full force until the war forced our hand.   When Despana unfurled her claws, the Faendryl began to restructure their society around Sorcery more than ever before. Patriarch XXXIV Unsenis Ignaas Faendryl decided that desperate times called for desperate measures; demonic summoning was researched in earnest, and through the course of this research it was realized that the lesser of the demonic types were Necromancers themselves.  This revelation is surely the core of the idea for the lighting strike on Maelshyve.  Of course, once they revealed their arts of Summoning and Sorcery at the final battle of the Undead War, their society was changed forever by the subsequent exile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Necromancy seems to have developed at first as a separate discipline. The relative unreadiness of the Empire for her forces presents a case for [[Necromancy]] being unknown to them.  Despana might be the first mortal Necromancer; certainly she was the only one of historical note other than [[Aramur Forean]], who fell to undeath through cannibalism as a sort of proto-Necromancer.  (Of note is [[Thyrsos Kanigel Faendryl]] who is mentioned as a “necromancer” in the histories yet is credited with the first Demonic Summoning and no works of actual Necromancy.)  It is likely these prior undead were created by [[Luukos]] for inscrutable reasons during the age before as well as the cause of Aramur Forean’s transformation.  Of course, any mention of Necromancy would be remiss without mentioning [[Jaston]] and his re-animation by [[Imaera]] from the corpse of a Sylvan Elf.  The Arkati were the first -known- source of Necromancy, although speculation due to the Book of Tormtor could conclude that the Ur-Daemon are the truest source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Book of Tormtor]] is another famous piece of history that is always associated with Despana.  It is always featured in the stories and histories, yet it is unclear whether is taught Despana Necromancy or merely increased her knowledge to a point where she became a threat to the entire Empire.  Necromancy, as a subsect of Sorcery, touches on energies that pierce the valence.  The first beings known to perform such a feat was the Ur-Daemon.  This makes it likely that the Book of Tormtor was a relic of the war in some capacity.  This is collaborated by the grasp of Necromancy that ancient extra planar powers have displayed such as the [[Vrael]], the [[Vishmiir]] and [[Althedeus]].  It is likely the Book was in possession of the [[Dhe&#039;nar]] at some point, which explains their rudimentary grasp of Necromancy, but was lost and then found by Despana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despana fought using a weapon that was highly unorthodox.  The Elven Empire was entirely unprepared for an unliving, untiring enemy that skill alone could not defeat.  The undead numbers kept growing with every battle.  They beat the Empire right back to their doorstep with her undead and then animated the corpses of both sides to push them to the sea.  The Faendryl operated the same way, out of desperation to survive.  It was in Despana that we saw our folly, the folly of mortal flesh weaponized by the careless, ignorant use of profound power.  It was this realization that led the Faendryl to Sorcery which necessitated our ascension to a different sort of society.   We have always embraced change, and it was that attitude that let us bend our entire society to one will.  This society’s first goal was to destroy Despana and her forces.  To wallow in the past was to invite destruction.  After we would bend our society to survive, to thrive, and then to obtain transcendence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despana continues to affect a geopolitical perception of Faendryl culture as a powerbase. While Faendryl life is indeed long, there are none left living who remember the strike on [[Maelshyve]].  Here we see the folly of the argument against Sorcery by the other Elven Houses.  Demons are always a reminder of the war, something that overshadows the victory over her.  This prejudice is easily seen when new magics are discovered and introduced, such as mentalism, which was easily accepted by seemingly everyone.  Both these facts being the case, we must ask; can a race of people be held to the supposed “sin” that stained their ancestors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the remaining modern prejudice against the Faendryl is pushed by other political powers that wish to remind their populations to remain united against the enemy without; the so called “Dark Elves”.  Most egregious here is the Turamzzyrian Empire, who likely uses such propaganda to make sure the wedge between House Faendryl and the other Elven Houses remains deep. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In closing, Despana may be a figure of myth and legend yet she had a very real impact on not just the Faendryl, but the entirety of Elanith.  We may never learn the truth of Despana’s history or how she came to find the Book of Tormtor.  Yet may we keep the lesson she taught us in our hearts, to kindle ambition enough to accept and overcome any challenge.  Despana showed us that this world is fragile.  Let our ambitions carry us beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: Our Discipline Rules All Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May Patriarch Korvath Dardanus Faendryl lead us to greatness.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A former Emporion spice trader, the failure of both his sons (Nystros and Taelarn) to master Sorcery has caused him to take up the mantle. He knows that it will be centuries before he learns anything of real power at home in new Ta&#039;Faendryl and so decides to travel to Wehnimer&#039;s Landing, believing that the freedom of the frontier (&amp;quot;the Diaspora of Ta&#039;Faendryl&amp;quot; as Maltreis calls it) will allow his Sorcery to blossom.  Of course, his love [[Cyntherea]] traveled with him, his constant companion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You see Maltreis the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
He is tall.  He appears to be mature.  He has deep-set violet eyes and ashen skin.  He has long, flowing white hair with a black streak running through it.  He has a gaunt face, a sharp nose and long pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a gleaming red dreamstone medallion, a red leather cloak with reinforced shoulders, a cross-body thick leather runestaff harness, an alabaster silk shirt embroidered about the cuffs with golden whorls, a set of closely-laced leathers, a sun-bleached canvas wand belt, a waxed black leather pouch, some inky black cordetum pants with slightly frayed cuffs, and some heavy black cordovan boots.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Despana]] is a figure who changed the very course of history, and yet incredibly little is known about her.  In fact her General [[Dharthiir]] the Arch-Lich has more written about him.  Her early history is lost to time and even her race is in question.  I’ll not repeat known facts, little as they are, in this paper: instead, I will concentrate on what is known, which are the influences Despana has had on our society.  Necromancy and Summoning, the fall of Elven supremacy on Elanith, and the exile as well as the diaspora; all these things can be lain at her feet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So little do we know about Despana that the only known depiction of her is the famous bust in the Wehnimer’s Landing museum.  It is likely a projection by an artist as historical fact and place of origin demonstrate that Despana was either a human desert nomad or a roaming Elf.  Due to her mythological status, she may well be a scapegoat sort of &amp;quot;witch&amp;quot;, where one would take a rebel who fought back against elven imperialism and transform her into a human witch, rather than a being akin to the Faendryl.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the Undead War, Faendryl society was much like that of the other Elven city-states, believing themselves enlightened by dint of their status as rulers of the Elves.  [[Sorcery]] was being developed, and the Valence had already been breached.  My ancestors were not prepared to unleash their new found Art in full force until the war forced our hand.   When Despana unfurled her claws, the Faendryl began to restructure their society around Sorcery more than ever before. Patriarch XXXIV Unsenis Ignaas Faendryl decided that desperate times called for desperate measures; demonic summoning was researched in earnest, and through the course of this research it was realized that the lesser of the demonic types were Necromancers themselves.  This revelation is surely the core of the idea for the lighting strike on Maelshyve.  Of course, once they revealed their arts of Summoning and Sorcery at the final battle of the Undead War, their society was changed forever by the subsequent exile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Necromancy seems to have developed at first as a separate discipline. The relative unreadiness of the Empire for her forces presents a case for [[Necromancy]] being unknown to them.  Despana might be the first mortal Necromancer; certainly she was the only one of historical note other than [[Aramur Forean]], who fell to undeath through cannibalism as a sort of proto-Necromancer.  (Of note is [[Thyrsos Kanigel Faendryl]] who is mentioned as a “necromancer” in the histories yet is credited with the first Demonic Summoning and no works of actual Necromancy.)  It is likely these prior undead were created by [[Luukos]] for inscrutable reasons during the age before as well as the cause of Aramur Forean’s transformation.  Of course, any mention of Necromancy would be remiss without mentioning [[Jaston]] and his re-animation by [[Imaera]] from the corpse of a Sylvan Elf.  The Arkati were the first -known- source of Necromancy, although speculation due to the Book of Tormtor could conclude that the Ur-Daemon are the truest source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Book of Tormtor]] is another famous piece of history that is always associated with Despana.  It is always featured in the stories and histories, yet it is unclear whether is taught Despana Necromancy or merely increased her knowledge to a point where she became a threat to the entire Empire.  Necromancy, as a subsect of Sorcery, touches on energies that pierce the valence.  The first beings known to perform such a feat was the Ur-Daemon.  This makes it likely that the Book of Tormtor was a relic of the war in some capacity.  This is collaborated by the grasp of Necromancy that ancient extra planar powers have displayed such as the [[Vrael]], the [[Vishmiir]] and [[Althedeus]].  It is likely the Book was in possession of the [[Dhe&#039;nar]] at some point, which explains their rudimentary grasp of Necromancy, but was lost and then found by Despana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despana fought using a weapon that was highly unorthodox.  The Elven Empire was entirely unprepared for an unliving, untiring enemy that skill alone could not defeat.  The undead numbers kept growing with every battle.  They beat the Empire right back to their doorstep with her undead and then animated the corpses of both sides to push them to the sea.  The Faendryl operated the same way, out of desperation to survive.  It was in Despana that we saw our folly, the folly of mortal flesh weaponized by the careless, ignorant use of profound power.  It was this realization that led the Faendryl to Sorcery which necessitated our ascension to a different sort of society.   We have always embraced change, and it was that attitude that let us bend our entire society to one will.  This society’s first goal was to destroy Despana and her forces.  To wallow in the past was to invite destruction.  After we would bend our society to survive, to thrive, and then to obtain transcendence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despana continues to affect a geopolitical perception of Faendryl culture as a powerbase. While Faendryl life is indeed long, there are none left living who remember the strike on [[Maelshyve]].  Here we see the folly of the argument against Sorcery by the other Elven Houses.  Demons are always a reminder of the war, something that overshadows the victory over her.  This prejudice is easily seen when new magics are discovered and introduced, such as mentalism, which was easily accepted by seemingly everyone.  Both these facts being the case, we must ask; can a race of people be held to the supposed “sin” that stained their ancestors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the remaining modern prejudice against the Faendryl is pushed by other political powers that wish to remind their populations to remain united against the enemy without; the so called “Dark Elves”.  Most egregious here is the Turamzzyrian Empire, who likely uses such propaganda to make sure the wedge between House Faendryl and the other Elven Houses remains deep. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In closing, Despana may be a figure of myth and legend yet she had a very real impact on not just the Faendryl, but the entirety of Elanith.  We may never learn the truth of Despana’s history or how she came to find the Book of Tormtor.  Yet may we keep the lesson she taught us in our hearts, to kindle ambition enough to accept and overcome any challenge.  Despana showed us that this world is fragile.  Let our ambitions carry us beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: Our Discipline Rules All Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May Patriarch Korvath Dardanus Faendryl lead us to greatness.&lt;br /&gt;
