Velor Niarn


  • Character Name: Velor Niarn
    GSID: RangerFriend

    History:
    Velor was born in a small elven encampment to the south, near the Lethyr Forest. He and his family were followers of Sheverash, they moved around constantly in search of drow. Velor's father and mother were rangers, but Velor and his brothers were training as battle-priests. Velor's family was very uncomfortable in populated areas, so they spent many years wandering the forests and plains of the area in search of drow.

    Velor, like the others in his family, was an excellent marksman. He could hit the tiniest leaf on a tree from a very long distance. His family used their skill to quickly attack and eliminate drow parties, above ground or in the Underdark. They constantly raided drow caves and tunnels. Velor's family had a large collection of drow heads and other body parts that they took from these raids.

    On one of these raids, Velor and his family were ambushed by a party of drow. Somewhat unprepared for the onslaught, Velor's family fell easily to the drow. Realizing what was happening, Velor and the remains of his family fought valiantly, and they stood their ground. Eventually, only Velor remained. He ran as he saw the last of his family fall. While he was running, he suddenly felt imbued with great power and then Sheverash spoke to the battlepriest, "Avenge your family and your cowardice will be forgiven". Strengthened by the words of his deity, he slaughtered the drow that came after him and gave his family a proper burial.

    He then began wandering the lands as he once did, staying away from travellers and cities. He visited his birthplace after years of wandering and placed many drow heads on pikes around the area, to keep the taint of drow off the area. With new resolve, Velor tracked the drow north, into the lands of Narfell.

    He found himself uncomfortable in the crowds of Peltarch. Staying at the edge of the large throngs of people pushing each other into the city, Velor decided that among the variety of new arrivals, someone must know something of drow in Narfell. Forcing himself not to leave, he set about searching for evidence of drow activities in Narfell. Only talking when necessary, and staying unnoticed in the city, Velor Niarn is slowly finding his enemies….

    Personality:

    Velor is very calm, in fact he shows very little emotion at all. He never laughs or smiles, because of his oath to Sheverash. He is mistrustful of non-elven strangers, and is very suspicious about people being friends of the drow. Velor is a very helpful person when he has begun to trust you-he offers healing and other services for free. If you ever find yourself to be fighting drow with him, he won't charge in like a fool. Instead, he prefers strategy and patience to destroy his enemies. He is never unprepared, he makes sure he is so he doesn't share the same fate as his family.

    Appearance:

    Velor Niarn has black hair with a light brown shade of skin. He looks very attractive, but somewhat detached from the real world. His hazel eyes look like they have seen a lot, even though he has only been living 120 years. His ears are like most elves-long and pointy. He has long arms and muscular legs that are great for running and using a longbow. He wears anything from urchin rags to leather hides. He tries not to wear that much metal armor on himself, for he prefers stealth to heavy protection.
