piracy and become a Master herself. Raven, who she<br />

already revered during her years of piracy, has contacted<br />

her and he has started her on <strong>the</strong> Path of <strong>the</strong> Epic Hero.<br />

She can be encountered anywhere in <strong>the</strong> Shires, even if<br />

nobody would recognize her now. She is particularly<br />

interested in protecting <strong>the</strong> Shires from anyone trying <strong>to</strong><br />

damage it. As she doesn’t have a good idea of how <strong>to</strong><br />

continue her path <strong>to</strong>wards Immortality, for now, she<br />

aimlessly roams <strong>the</strong> Shires seeking inspiration while<br />

carrying out her duty of protecting <strong>the</strong> halflings. [GAZ8]<br />

MYLERTHENDAL<br />

Human Wizard 36 th , CG, Energy (Alphatia)<br />

Myler<strong>the</strong>ndal is an extremely powerful and famous<br />

Alphatian archmage who began his journey along <strong>the</strong><br />

path of <strong>the</strong> Paragon in around 900 AC. He instigated a<br />

policy of embellishment and revival of <strong>the</strong> arts in<br />

Alphatia. He hasn’t hurried in becoming Immortal and<br />

has extended his life of approximately 250 years. Because<br />

of <strong>the</strong> tragic facts at <strong>the</strong> end of 1009 AC, it is quite<br />

probable that he died when Alphatia sank beneath <strong>the</strong><br />

waves – unless <strong>the</strong> immortals saved him. [DotE]<br />

PSA’GH<br />

Kobold Fighter 30 th , NE, Entropy (Hircismus)<br />

Psa'gh is a skilful kobold leader of Soderfjord who is<br />

trying <strong>to</strong> rise in <strong>the</strong> Sphere of Entropy. Helped by his<br />

shaman Tra'gh, he has been able <strong>to</strong> recover <strong>the</strong> Shining<br />

Armour created centuries ago by Kurtulmak on <strong>the</strong><br />

instruction of his demonic Patron. Currently he is using<br />

<strong>the</strong> artefact in order <strong>to</strong> leng<strong>the</strong>n his own life and <strong>to</strong><br />

ga<strong>the</strong>r all <strong>the</strong> kobold tribes of Soderfjord <strong>to</strong> him: his<br />

ultimate aim is <strong>to</strong> deliver a massive, decisive attack<br />

against <strong>the</strong> humans of <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Reaches in order <strong>to</strong><br />

avenge <strong>the</strong> losses inflicted on <strong>the</strong> kobold race over <strong>the</strong><br />

centuries. He will <strong>the</strong>n extend his Dominion <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest<br />

of <strong>the</strong> humanoid tribes in order <strong>to</strong> become Immortal. His<br />

most serious problem now is that his shaman. Tra'gh has<br />

become jealous of Psa'gh’s power, especially seeing that<br />

he continues <strong>to</strong> age and approach <strong>the</strong> death that his<br />

leader seems <strong>to</strong> be avoiding. [GAZ7]<br />

STARWATCHER<br />

Elf Wizard 20 th , N, Energy (Ilsundal)<br />

Starwatcher is <strong>the</strong> most skilled and brilliant elven wizard<br />

in all of Alfheim. He is a wise and eminent apprecia<strong>to</strong>r of<br />

all elvish mysteries (but equally is economical when<br />

imparting information <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs). He started on his road<br />

along <strong>the</strong> Path of <strong>the</strong> Paragon a short time ago (less than<br />

a decade) and he still clearly doesn’t know how create his<br />

own kingdom. This is because currently he refuses <strong>to</strong><br />

leave Alfheim and his clan (Long Runner). It is probable<br />

that <strong>the</strong> Shadowelf invasion and Corruption of Alfheim<br />

(see Fury of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Immortals</strong>) in 1007 AC will serve <strong>to</strong> rouse<br />

him and motivate him <strong>to</strong> finish his goal. [GAZ5]<br />

TRAVESTIS<br />

Treant 34 th / Druid 10 th , CE, Entropy (Atzanteotl)<br />

Travestis is an evil treant on <strong>the</strong> path of <strong>the</strong> Sphere of<br />

Entropy. He intends <strong>to</strong> become <strong>the</strong> Patron of <strong>the</strong><br />

malignant sylvan creatures and <strong>the</strong> court of <strong>the</strong> dark<br />

fairies. The idea of <strong>the</strong> corruption of nature by entropic<br />

forces particularly obsesses him. He operates in <strong>the</strong> heart<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Forest of Canolbarth (as shown in PC 1, Tall Tales<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Wee Folk). He is probably helping <strong>the</strong> shadowelves<br />

<strong>to</strong> plot against <strong>the</strong> surface elves, with <strong>the</strong> secret intent <strong>to</strong><br />

poison <strong>the</strong> entire forest and <strong>to</strong> transform it in<strong>to</strong> a twisted<br />

parody of <strong>the</strong> original behind <strong>the</strong> back of his Allies. If this<br />

happens as shown by <strong>the</strong> chronology of WotI, it is<br />

probable that Travestis will successfully complete a<br />

discreet part of his journey (<strong>the</strong> Testimony) by 1010 AC,<br />

even if <strong>the</strong>re are no indications about <strong>the</strong> goals that he<br />

must still achieve in order <strong>to</strong> complete his ascension. He<br />

is a great antagonist for any PC that acts in <strong>the</strong> area of<br />

Alfheim during <strong>the</strong> period of <strong>the</strong> Fury of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Immortals</strong>.<br />

He is an enemy who loves <strong>to</strong> act from <strong>the</strong> shadows using<br />

his ruthless followers before directly facing his weakened<br />

enemies. [PC1]<br />

TYLARI III<br />

Human Mage 36 th , N, Energy (Razud) or Thought<br />

(Koryis)<br />

Tylari is <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r of Tylion and was <strong>the</strong> Empress of<br />

Alphatia before her son. She left her duties and<br />

responsibilities <strong>to</strong> Tylion when she decided <strong>to</strong> undertake<br />

<strong>the</strong> road <strong>to</strong>wards Immortality. She is ei<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> Path<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Paragon or of that of <strong>the</strong> Epic Hero, and she has<br />

probably left her mo<strong>the</strong>rland in order <strong>to</strong> avoid <strong>the</strong><br />

competition of <strong>the</strong> various wizards present in <strong>the</strong> empire.<br />

[DotE]<br />

TYLION IV (TERARI)<br />

Human Mage 36 th , CG, Thought (Ssu–Ma)<br />

Tylion had been Emperor of Alphatia until he attempted<br />

<strong>to</strong> conquer Thyatis in 970 AC (Assault of <strong>the</strong> Spears).<br />

This was a scorching defeat for <strong>the</strong> empire and created<br />

serious embarrassment in <strong>the</strong> Council. He yielded his<br />

position <strong>to</strong> his daughter Eriadna, <strong>the</strong> current empress,<br />

and he has recently taken his first steps on <strong>the</strong> Path of <strong>the</strong><br />

Epic Hero after finding a patron in Ssu-Ma. He chose<br />

this path since it doesn’t require him <strong>to</strong> leave his family<br />

(<strong>to</strong> which he has close ties) for very long. However, given<br />

that he can no longer keep himself young with magic,<br />

Tylion is hurrying <strong>to</strong> crown successfully his dreams of<br />

glory. Because of this, he wanders <strong>the</strong> world under <strong>the</strong><br />

identity of Master Terari, seeking powerful artefacts of<br />

Thought and a worthy enterprise for his objective. The<br />

foundation of <strong>the</strong> Karameikan School of Magic that<br />

happens in 1012 AC will be considered part of his<br />

Objective and Testimony. [DotE]<br />
