Elidor ( 290 AC - 354 AC ) was a half Kagonesti, half Silvanesti elf who became a hero during the aftermath of the War of the Lance. Elidor was a fair skinned elf, with long blond hair, a master of thievery and survival, a product of his ostracism brought on by his mixed heritage. With his throwing daggers in hand and a confident smile, Elidor traveled across the face of Ansalon fighting dragons, wizards, and ancient evils.
Early Life[]
Elidor was the child of Elyana, a Silvanesti ambassador and her love affair with a Kagonesti man. Elidor grew up taunted and jeered at because of his mixed heritage in the small town of Aerendor. Because of this constant scorn and his penance for getting into trouble, Elidor left at an early age to find his father. Elidor found his father’s tribe and learned much from his father but did not get to spend long with him. His father grew ill and died. The tribe of Kagonesti mourned the father but still saw Elidor as a Silvanesti outsider. Elidor was an outcast again. Home in neither world, the young elf set out for a city where he could find acceptance.
Temple of the Dragonslayer[]
Elidor met the Young Adventurers in the Blind Goose, a tavern in Tresvka when Davyn and Catriona were trying to find a guide to the Temple of the Holy Order of the Stars. Elidor volunteered his services, claimed an expert knowledge of the land. The Young Adventurers accepted his services but didn’t realize he went just to steal the treasures from the historic place of power.
A dark wizard named Maddoc was watching . He had plans for the young adventurer Nearra. If she grew frightened enough, she would force the Emergence of the spirit of Asvoria from her body. Because of this, Maddoc sent an ogre and a dragon named Slean after the party. Nearra was captured and taken to the Underfell, a hideout for mercenaries. Elidor and the Adventurers rescued Nearra from the Crypt of a Thousand Voices and the ogre Ugo, and resumed their travels.
The Young Adventurers traveled to the Temple of the Holy Order of the Stars. They met true clerics who attempted to bring Nearra’s memory back, but couldn’t break Maddoc’s spell. Nearra was frustrated but Elidor and the others were still dedicated to finding a way for her memory to return. Maddoc’s plan was not over as the green dragon Slean was called to attack the temple and scare Nearra into releasing the dark soul she had captive.
Slean attacked the Temple and demanded they give her Nearra. The Young Adventurers stood against Slean but were losing badly. Nearra, with Asvoria’s spirit as her guide, found the location of a holy weapon, Elethia’s arrow. She snatched the arrow from inside a stone mosaic and stabbed Slean in the tail. With the holy energies surging through the arrow, Slean fell dead. The temple had been saved and Nearra was safe for the moment.
The clerics of the temple found a scroll that told of powerful wizards that lived in the city-kingdom of Arngrim. They thought this might be the best chance to restore Nearra’s memory. But Davyn knew this was just more of Maddoc’s manipulations. The Young Adventurers left the safety of the temple and started their path northwest to Arngrim.
