Paerys Velethuil
| |||||||||||||||
Paerys Velethuil Loenthra was a painter known for his mastery of the skill. He first made an appearance during the Valley of Gold, during which he presented his esteemed paintings to the attendees. Orelwen Greyvael, a handmaiden to the Argent Mirror, was entranced by his painting and touched its surface in admiration. The paint's mixture had been adulterated with a topical poison, and Orelwen fell ill as a result; her face was left permanently scarred. Meanwhile, Paerys took up residence in the Shining City to promote his artwork. Adventurers soon discovered he had ulterior motives, and Paerys was detained for questioning regarding the poisoning. A trial was held, and on 8/1/2019 Paerys was found guilty of assault upon members of the court, and conspiring to murder the Argent Mirror. During the course of the trial, he revealed that his family perished in the cataclysm of Talador, on their way to visit him in Wehnimer's Landing. His hatred for humans as a result of their deaths, ultimately influenced his decision to target the Illistim monarch. He believed her a traitor to elvenkind for signing the treaty at Valley of Gold.
Paerys was sentenced to death by beheading on Phoenatos 5, 5119. In his final words, Paerys confessed to his crimes, and said his actions hadn't gone far enough. The location of his burial was a secret until 5123, when his corpse was been reanimated by the sorcerer Enomna in the Wraithenmist area of Ta'Illistim during Nations on the Brink storyline.
Description
At Valley of Gold, 7/24/5119
You see Paerys Velethuil Loenthra. He appears to be an Elf. He is considerably shorter than average and has a scrawny physique. He appears to be in the meridian of life. He has rheumy amber eyes and pallid skin. He has wavy, coarse aureate hair framing his face and shoulders in a thickly layered mane. He has an oblong face, a straight nose and an upswept pointed ears, the tips of which point out from his hair. He is in good shape. He is wearing a round-brimmed grey leather hat, a blue-black razern pyramid medallion strung invertedly by a silver chain, a steel-buckled dull blue haversack, a high-neck pleated silk shirt with wide cuffs, a pair of slate grey leather gloves secured with sapphire buttons, some frayed granite-hued breeches, and some faded cerulean silk shoes.
Death
[Ta'Illistim, Caear Courtyard]
The illuminated domes of Ta'Illistim Keep rise overhead, each one tiled and sparkling with an abundance of mosaic decoration. Before the keep, the var widens to a half-moon shaped courtyard, which in turn is bordered by the edge of the city green. You also see a large wooden platform with some stuff on it.
Also here: Lady Sayilla, Lady Orelwen, Lord Aeriadrn, Lord Murstyr, Argent Mirror Myasara, Paerys, Ntyre, and many adventurers.
Aeriadrn recites:
"Paerys, you have been found guilty of assault on members of the Court and city. You have also been found guilty of conspiring to murder Argent Mirror Myasara Illistim, her Illumination, Head of House Illistim, Monarch of the Illistimi People, Defender of Ta'Illistim and Keeper of Knowledge."
Aeriadrn recites:
"For these crimes, you have been sentenced to die by having your head severed from your body."
Paerys folds his hands behind his back.

Aeriadrn recites:
"Do you have any final words?"
Paerys nods slowly.
Paerys recites:
"See now - how your Mirror treats the plight of Elvenkind. Our people are rewarded with an Alliance by those who would inevitably betray them. I have no regrets."
Paerys says, "Do it."
Ntyre grabs Paerys' head and lowers it to the block before taking a step back.
Aeriadrn recites:
"May the Patrons guide your path swiftly to the Gate."
Ntyre lifts his sword high above his head before dropping it downward with a single, mighty blow.
Paerys slumps over, severed head rolls a few times on the ground before it stills - the head twitches gruesomely, his bloodied lips spasming in his death throes, as he stares hatefully into the crowd before going still.
As the head rolls away from the body, you are splattered with droplets of blood.
Myasara nods.
Myasara just climbed up a massive stairway.
