Eluviel

From From the Wandering Isle

Background info

Eluviel - Masked.png

Full name: Eluviel

Letter from Eluviel to Ghorann

Nickname: the hero of the Bay of Beasts? Frei called him/them “that Lunaire guy”

Race: -

Class: mage?

Gender: -

Age: the battle of the Bay of Beasts was 50 years ago, long before most of us were born... so is Eluviel old now?

Description: He always wears a golden mask with feathers on the side, and so far we haven't found anyone who's seen him in any other clothes but his comfortable robes

Location: based on the correspondence with Ishmael Ghorann (see inserted image), we expect Eluviel is in Crescent Cove, on the edge of the White Sea

Job: we don’t know his/their job, but Frei suggested he/they are important within Lunaire’s hierarchy, as a powerful mage.

See also Lunaire's traditional blessing Elu ve l'ahar sada “may starlight guide you”, which is often used as a greeting, like at the end of his/their letter (see inserted image)

Associates:

  • The Cambion Virgil is looking Eluviel & while frustrated by Eluviel’s wiles, he also appeared to appreciate the memory trick Eluviel pulled off
  • Eluviel knew Ishmael Ghorann by reputation (see letter)

Our assessment

Friend or foe: we don’t really know…

  • If we spent 18 months with Eluviel, did we become friends? Are we sure we spent those 18 months working with him/them? Or were we perhaps prisoners, or working on another mission till he/they kidnapped and incapacitated us?
  • Why were we sent away, without memory, without even a note explaining (unlike the note Ghorann received)? Why were we sent to the south, where there’s a lot of slavers & where at least Eldrin doesn’t really want to go?
  • Where is the Young Kraken? We're pirates, we don't want to be dry bandits, don't deprive us of our ship!

Associated quests:

  • travel to Crescent Cove, probably over land, avoiding the war brewing in Rosaria (see session 4)
  • request the return of our memories, probably in exchange for
    • stopping the half-fiend half-human Virgil
    • a role in the looming war, given Aashvi Saree's involvement and the conscription of all magic users by Rosarian crown-prince Mordecai
    • our help in the divine conflict surrounding Lunaire, given El/Eldrin's calling as "child of the gods"

Notes:

  • during session 17 when Storm finally revealed his memory loss to Mondregen, Mondregen shared that we attended king Balthazar's funeral as Eluviel's retinue. He noticed that Eluviel's meeting with crown-prince Mordecai wasn't a happy one, many whispers now tarnishing the venerated war hero's reputation
