: '''Gender:''' Male

: '''Race:''' [[Avariel]]

----
== Description ==

Rune is a massive [[elf]] by [[Avariel]] standards. His large frame is tall and greatly muscled. His prowess of a warrior is readily apparent. His skin is an ice-colored tone which blends with his matching icy white hair but contrasts with his dark green eyes. Rune is usually adorned in heavy ornate plate armor with two greatswords and a bow strapped over his back. He moves with surprising grace for one so large and for one so heavily adorned with armor and weapons. His expression is usually that of warmth and joy, but can swiftly change to one of cold, calculating, intimidation. All in all, Rune is a rather intimidating figure, large and overpowering by elven standards, and somewhat of a mystical presence by human standards.

Rune is staunchly loyal to the Queen and is currently seeking to aid her and the Avariel as they strive to recover as a nation.

== Background ==

Rune is approximately 225 years old. He was born and lived in the City-State of [[Toostan-of-the-Clouds|Toostan]] for several years before it was attacked and overran by the [[Drangonari]] of [[Grantir]]. His parents managed to escape the city and went into hiding in the forested mountains of [[Deglos]]. His mother soon gave birth to his sister [[PCs:Indiga Amanta|Indiga Amanta]] just before [[Angadar|Angadar's]] curse was placed upon the [[Avariel]]. Not many years after Indiga's birth, their parents disappeared and were never heard from again. Rune found a few of their belongings in the forest where they were last rumored to be heading before their disappearance, but nothing else was known. Rune looked for any clues of his parents for many years until he finally gave up hope and focused more on caring for his sister and himself in the rugged mountain forest. Caring for his sister was no easy task. She had a natural curiosity and natural ability to get into trouble. Fortunately, Indiga learned quickly how to get out of the trouble she was so fond of finding. Although this did little to help comfort Rune as he spent many years with watchful eyes for his sisters care. [[image:RuneAndIndyOnHill.jpg|thumb|Rune and Indy]]

When Rune was not caring for his sister and himself, he would spend most of his free time learning to use his fathers greatsword which he found on the day of his parents disappearance. He developed great skill with the blade and soon became nearly inseparable from the weapon. Rune developed an interesting technique for using the massive blade which is not often seen in warriors of such weapons. Since his family enjoyed spending great amounts of time in song and dance together and with others of their friends, he carried this over to his use with the weapon. As a result, his style of fighting with the greatsword resembles a dance more than a battle, where he moves in a series of graceful spins and flowing circles with his sword trailing at his sides, flashing out at precise times.

Rune eventually seemed to develop an interesting bond with the weapon. He found that if he concentrated hard enough, he could actually draw forth strong energies from within himself that would allow his weapon to become much more deadly within his hands for short periods of time. He eventually ended up losing his fathers blade in a battle with a party of Drangonari, but it helped him and his sister escape with their lives. Although he was greatly distraught, Rune soon acquired a new blade and to his surprise, found that his mental link with the blade was not resulting from the sword, but rather from within himself. Eventually Rune and his Sister decided it was time to leave the hiding of the mountain forests. At this time Rune was determined to find Queen Adathi in the hopes of serving her with the task of bringing the Avariel Nation back to its former grandeur. His loyalty to the Queen and his people was not deminished by the destruction of Toostan, or the time spent in hiding, or the disappearance of his parents. In fact, it grew greater because of these things and he has vowed to help his people overcome their tragedy and prosper once more.

Unfortunately, Rune could not locate the Queen or her court, who were obviously still in hiding from Angadar's wrath. So he, and his sister decided to travel south into [[T'Nanshi]] and [[M'Chek]] in order to seek out information that might lead them to the Queen. They soon found that not all people and/or nations were out to destroy the Avariel. In fact, they met many people of all races that seemed eager to help the Avariel. They also met several Avariel who were venturing forth from hiding as they were.. although many of the Avariel they met seemed to be living a life separate from their Queen and their people at this time. Eventually Rune and his sister were able to find other Avariel who desired to work together to help find the Queen and work to help the Avariel Nation rise again.

== More Recent Background ==

Rune eventually met another Avariel who had very similar goals for aiding their kind as he did. Her name was [[PCs:Shannen Di'rithia|Shannen Di'rithia]], a mage of [[Andrinor]], and worshipper of [[Cha'reth]]. Rune was drawn to her immediately by her beauty, but soon he became even more enamored by her strength, passion, and determination that he soon learned after spending time with her. Rune and Shannen made a life bond together at a ceremony in the temple of Cha'reth in Visimontium. Rune and Shannen were blessed to have so many wonderful friends witness the ritual including Queen Adathi herself. [[image:RuneAndShanWedding.jpg|thumb|Bonding Ceremony attended by Queen Adathi]]

Rune and Shannen took up residence in Visimontium where they live together to this day. Rune found Visimontium to be a most beautiful land within the forest mountains of Deglos where he grew up. He found the ruling council and the inhabitants of the city to be most kind, just and fair and soon thought that this place would be a wonderful land for the Avariel to come out of hiding and live as free people again. As a result, Rune got approval of the Council of Visimontium to allow the Avariel to come settle within Apara Thorp and develope a village community under the protection of the city. In turn, the avariel became eager citizens of the city and many of them joined the ranks of the Sentinels to help protect the lands in which they now live. Rune himself was one of the first to join the Sentinels.

Imril

Race: Avilissian Elf

Imril is a tall muscular elf of brown complexion and long white hair. He was not always this way however. He spent a portion of his life growing up with a darker blue skin complexion. The exact reason behind this is still unknown to him even to this day. He grew up in a small remote settlement in northern T'Nanshi. After he was abandoned (unknown if this was voluntary or not) by his parents as an infant, an elderly elven woman discovered Imril and raised him as her own. His mother was a very kind and understanding person who was not concerned about the child's unusual appearance. This however, was not the case for some of the other elves in the settlement.

Imril was constantly harassed and teased because of his appearance. Despite his treatment, Imril remained positive and good-natured due to his mother's teachings. However, Imril could not resist learning how to defend himself. As a result, he learned how to fight with many types of weapons and learned many styles of combat from an elven warrior who was friends with his mother (although he kept this a secret from his mother since he knew she would not approve). His skill got to a point where the elven "bullies" could not hurt him anymore, so they decided to take out their anger on his mother who was murdered in the village market in broad daylight (many bystanders). Outraged, Imril hunted down and slew the two elves responsible for his mothers death. Although, he was still very upset that nobody came to his mother's aid when she was attacked and as a result, Imril decided to leave the settlement and seek a life somewhere else.

Imril is generally good-natured and polite to people he meets regardless of their race or appearances. He is sometimes short tempered and intolerant of illmannered or rude individuals he meets, as a result of past experiences. He is proud of who he is and sometimes let others know this if he feels insulted or otherwise treated unpleasantly.

All in all, Imril is a simple elf who loves adventures and is saddened by prejudicial persons. He still wonders who his true parents are as well.

Imril soon journeyed to Elysia and came to follow the ways of O'ma. He soon joined with the Order of O'ma and had many great adventures with his friends in the Order, especially his close companions Marie Briggs and Anton Tzu. Imril also spent much time and became very close with a female druid of Dre'Ana named Anni. Imril also learned of a portal to another plane called Ysgard where he ventured and spent a considerable length of time exploring these lands and meeting new friends.

Upon his return to Elysia, he found himself greatly concerned about the war between M'Chek and T'Nanshi. He was even more concerned when he saw how the Fey of Titania started renewed assaults on O'mas fey (Imril always hated Titanians fey and would usually end up fighting them whenever he met with them). Imril officially left the Order of O'ma when he found that the Order and the EDF would not strike against the fey of Titania and instead wanted to try a course of reason with them. He took it upon himself to journey to the forests and strike at Titania's fey where ever he could find them.

It was about this time that Imril underwent a strange phyical change. His skin coloration had changed one night from a dark blueish tint to a light brown color. He knows not how or why this occured but some of his friends told him that the gods must have had a hand in it. Now he is not sure if his original dark coloration was part of his true heritage or just a cruel trick by some mage or for simple amusement of some god.

During Imrils hunts in the wilds for the fey of Titania, he started to learn more of himself. He spent much time in solitude contemplating his actions and what he felt within his heart. After many years of conflicts with the fey and within himself, he believed that he fell from favor with O'ma for unknown reasons. His frustrations grew until he left O'mas ways all together and took up a path more aligned with his own feelings. His greatest passion at this time was protection of the weak or the mistreated.

He also renewed his focus on his martial skills during his time alone. This is when he decided to put down his flaming longsword and take up a new found flaming greatsword aquired from the great firegiant Tolgaroth. He spent much time learning the arts of wielding the greatsword as a natural extension of his body during martial tests.

Imril returned to Elysia shortly after the war ended with M'chek and T'Nanshi. <br>

Gladenfar: /* The Order of the Dragon */

==The Order of the Dragon==

'''Alignment/Class Ristrictions:''' Any lawful / major class must be [[Monk|monk]]. Multi-classed monks are okay as long as the monk level is equal to or greater than any other class.

'''Base of operations:''' The main monastery is currently under construction near Dragon Mountain in [[M'Chek]]. The Order maintains friendly ties with other monasteries, like the Order of the Way and the Order of the Hammerfist. Eventually more monasteries will be popping up everywhere. The Order operates all over Southern Avlis right now.

'''How to contact us:''' To find us either speak to some monks in game, with our current large and evergrowing number of members chances are you've already found us, or leave us a message on a tavernboard and we will contact you. You can also seek out one of the current leaders of the Order directly. Grandmaster and public voice for the Order [[PCs:Jade|Jade]] (European TZ), Sapphire Master [[PCs:Odel Helmsplitter|Odel Helmsplitter]] (EST), Diamond Master [[PCs:Gladd'avenglori|Gladd'avenglori]] (EST), Sagemaster [[PCs:Hebrin Maul|Hebrin Maul]] (PST), Ruby Master [[PCs:Red Lotus|Red Lotus]] (EST), Guardmaster [[PCs:Tasi van Brockenhamm|Tasi van Brockenhamm]] (EST).

'''What we do:''' The Order of the Dragon is non-religious, non-political, neutral order for monks. Although the Order is not affiliated with any deity, we will not reject religious monks whose faith aligns itself with the Orders goals. We focus on trying to bring and maintain balance to the lands of Avlis in order to obtain peace and prosperity for all (actually, most is a better term - unnatural abominations and undead type creatures aren't viewed too favorably). Due to the balanced character of the Order and its belief that every member should walk their own Path to Enlightenment, we are not lead by one Master, but by a Guiding council, The Dragon Trinity. The Trinity embodies all aspects of the Order and is made up of three facets, Diamond, Sapphire and Ruby. The Order provides training and guidance to its members, both by helping one develop the Harmony of Self through mastering our Ki energies and perfecting our bodies and also by teaching one the Wisdom needed to use ones power wisely to create and maintain Balance.

'''What to expect:''' Members will have meetings, called tribunals, periodically to discuss current issues and to take care of Order business. The Order will occasionally host an event which will involve contests of melee and of the mind (called the Day of the Dragon). In addition, members will frequently get together to adventure in areas all over Avlis and they are always seeking to test themselves where ever they can.

Gladenfar:

Gladd'avenglori was born in a small settlement of ghost elves northeast of Le'Or T'Nanshi where he spent his first 25 years learning basic traditions of his family. Of course, he had a love for the forests and good song, but it was his love of hunting which captured most of his time. He always tried to tag along on the village hunting sessions, but he was never allowed because of his age. Therefor, Gladd would usually sneak out and follow the hunting parties for as long as he could until he was detected and forced to return. After he turned 20 years of age he was allowed to participate on these hunting trips where he eventually excelled and learned many of his skills he maintains to this day. The hunting parties sometimes used bows (traditional hunting weapon of elves), but it was an old tradition with his village to hunt without the use of any weapons.

Gladd also liked to spend time by himself in solitude, where he could reflect on things within himself and of the forest that he was part of. He always sought to understand why he was here and to what purpose. Even though he didnt realize it at the time, it was during these times that he became in tuned with his "inner self" and started to develop the powers which stem from it.

At the age of 25 years is when his life changed forever. A Shaahesk war party crossed the border of T'Nanshi and attacked Gladd's settlement. His family, and most of the village was destroyed while Gladd and a few others were taken and soon turned over to slavers. Gladd was sold off to a powerful Shaahesk warlord who had a hobby of watching the arena battles within Drotid. This warlord liked to enter combatants into the arena battles as well, in order to try to win prestege and wealth by winning local arena battles with other tribes. Most of the shaahesk would attend the arena battles just to watch the poor slaves and other captives or fugitives get slaughtered by all different means of brutal competions.

One day during one of these arena events, Gladd's owner found himself short of prisoners to use as fodder for a battle against a local Shaahesk warrior who found himself in the arena as a result of his dissertion from the army. The warrior was a large Shaahesk and had already slain ten slaves that were pitted against him two or three at a time. The crowd watching this event was getting more vocal and beligerant since the warrior was winning, whereas most wanted to see him die slowly and painfully. As a result, Gladd's owner commanded one of his skilled guards to enter the arena to battle this warrior. Gladd was attending to the guard, at the time, in order to help him don his armor quickly as he was making his way to the arena. Gladd completed straping the guards platemail on just as he entered the arena, but as he turned to leave the guard, the doors to the arena shut barring his exit from the arena. The crowd roared with the entrance of the new combatants, as Gladd looked around in horror.

The Shaahesk guard and Shaahesk warrior immediately squared off in melee, as Gladd looked around for a way to escape from the arena. He soon realized that he had no way of escaping and turned to see the guard get hacked down by the warriors great halbard. The crowd voiced their displeasure as several objects came flying out of the stands toward the warrior. The warrior hissed his defiance loudly to the crowd and then looked towards Gladd. The warrior quickly marched toward him raising his halbard to make quick work of the little elf. Without thinking, Gladd dodged to the side as the halbard stike came down and in one fluid motion Gladd spun around to the side of the warrior while delivering a barehanded strike to the throat of the Shaahesk. The warrior dropped to his knees clutching his throat as Gladd instinctively struct a deadly blow to the Shaahesks eye. The warrior died before his body fell to the sand. The crowd stood stunned for several moments, and then cheered for the death of the warrior criminal.

This lead to a 75 year "career" as an arena warrior slave of the Shaahesk. During this time he was forced to fight (and kill) many humans, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, elves, kobalds, Shaahesk, and any other creatures they chose to put in the arena with him. The Shaahesk were amazed at the battle prowess of Gladd, especially since he looked like a frail little elf that they could break like a twig. But soon Gladd's warlord owner was training Gladd in tactics and strategies since his success was making him rich.

It was shortly after Gladd turned 100 years of age, when his owners caravan was ambushed while traveling to another arena not far from the TNanshi border. A war party of Drangonari destroyed all the Shaahesk and escorted Gladd and the other slaves to the border of TNanshi and set them free.

From then on Gladd started traveling the lands to learn all he could after living in isolation so long. He also desired to escape his past life as much as he could and put himself to use tending to the lands. He spent most of his time in the lands of Elysia, Le'Or T'Nanshi, Deglos, and Hala.

One day Gladd found himself in conversation with several members of the Order of the Dragon, and discovered that his views and outlook on life was quite similar to the Orders. Soon, with the help of his mentor, Wil Garett, he became a member of the Order to which he serves to this day.

Gladd is a light complected ghost elf with long blond hair and blue glowing eyes. Of course he also has that slight yellowish glow which all ghost elves have. He has a very slight build although he is fairly tall for a ghost elf. He moves we remarkable ease and grace and his movements during combat appear more like a dance than a deadly melee. Gladd's upper torso and portions of his neck are covered with numerous scars from his prior experiences in capitivity. One other unusual characteristic is Gladd's speech. He has not been able to get rid of a slight accent he picked up during his stay in Drotid.. so he sometimes hisses a little on some words.

The crowd roared with the entrance of the new combatants, as Gladd looked around in horror.

The Shaahesk guard and Shaahesk warrior immediately squared off in melee, as Gladd looked around for a way to escape from the arena. He soon realized that he had no way of escaping and turned to see the guard get hacked down by the warriors great halbard. The crowd voiced their displeasure as several objects came flying out of the stands toward the warrior. The warrior hissed his defiance loudly to the crowd and then looked towards Gladd. The warrior quickly marched toward him raising his halbard to make quick work of the little elf. Without thinking, Gladd dodged to the side as the halbard stike came down and in one fluid motion Gladd spun around to the side of the warrior while delivering a barehanded strike to the throat of the Shaahesk. The warrior dropped to his knees clutching his throat as Gladd instinctively struct a deadly blow to the Shaahesks eye. The warrior died before his body fell to the sand. The crowd stood stunned for several moments, and then cheered for the death of the warrior criminal.

This lead to a 75 year "career" as an arena warrior slave of the Shaahesk. During this time he was forced to fight (and kill) many humans, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, elves, kobalds, Shaahesk, and any other creatures they chose to put in the arena with him. The Shaahesk were amazed at the battle prowess of Gladd, especially since he looked like a frail little elf that they could break like a twig. But soon Gladd's warlord owner was training Gladd in tactics and strategies since his success was making him rich.

It was shortly after Gladd turned 100 years of age, when his owners caravan was ambushed while traveling to another arena not far from the TNanshi border. A war party of Drangonari destroyed all the Shaahesk and escorted Gladd and the other slaves to the border of TNanshi and set them free.

From then on Gladd started traveling the lands to learn all he could after living in isolation so long. He also desired to escape his past life as much as he could and put himself to use tending to the lands. He spent most of his time in the lands of Elysia, Le'Or T'Nanshi, Deglos, and Hala.

One day Gladd found himself in conversation with several members of the Order of the Dragon, and discovered that his views and outlook on life was quite similar to the Orders. Soon, with the help of his mentor, Wil Garett, he became a member of the Order to which he serves to this day.

Gladd is a light complected ghost elf with long blond hair and white glowing eyes. Of course he also has that slight yellowish glow which all ghost elves have. He has a very slight build although he is fairly tall for a ghost elf. He moves we remarkable ease and grace and his movements during combat appear more like a dance than a deadly melee. Gladd's upper torso and portions of his neck are covered with numerous scars from his prior experiences in capitivity. One other unusual characteristic is Gladd's speech. He has not been able to get rid of a slight accent he picked up during his stay in Drotid.. so he sometimes hisses a little on some words.

Gladd'avenglori was born in a small settlement of ghost elves northeast of Le'Or T'Nanshi where he spent his first 25 years learning basic traditions of his family. Of course, he had a love for the forests and good song, but it was his love of hunting which captured most of his time. He always tried to tag along on the village hunting sessions, but he was never allowed because of his age. Therefor, Gladd would usually sneak out and follow the hunting parties for as long as he could until he was detected and forced to return. After he turned 20 years of age he was allowed to participate on these hunting trips where he eventually excelled and learned many of his skills he maintains to this day. The hunting parties sometimes used bows (traditional hunting weapon of elves), but it was an old tradition with his village to hunt without the use of any weapons.

Gladd also liked to spend time by himself in solitude, where he could reflect on things within himself and of the forest that he was part of. He always sought to understand why he was here and to what purpose. Even though he didnt realize it at the time, it was during these times that he became in tuned with his "inner self" and started to develop the powers which stem from it.

At the age of 25 years is when his life changed forever. A Shaahesk war party crossed the border of T'Nanshi and attacked Gladd's settlement. His family, and most of the village was destroyed while Gladd and a few others were taken and soon turned over to slavers. Gladd was sold off to a powerful Shaahesk warlord who had a hobby of watching the arena battles within Drotid. This warlord liked to enter combatants into the arena battles as well, in order to try to win prestege and wealth by winning local arena battles with other tribes. Most of the shaahesk would attend the arena battles just to watch the poor slaves and other captives or fugitives get slaughtered by all different means of brutal competions.

One day during one of these arena events, Gladd's owner found himself short of prisoners to use as fodder for a battle against a local Shaahesk warrior who found himself in the arena as a result of his dissertion from the army. The warrior was a large Shaahesk and had already slain ten slaves that were pitted against him two or three at a time. The crowd watching this event was getting more vocal and beligerant since the warrior was winning, whereas most wanted to see him die slowly and painfully. As a result, Gladd's owner commanded one of his skilled guards to enter the arena to battle this warrior. Gladd was attending to the guard, at the time, in order to help him don his armor quickly as he was making his way to the arena.
