History: Dalasi Yrene is the youngest of three siblings, born into the Royal House of Yrene one hundred and seventy years ago. He was born a Falren, a Hummel who displays traits weighed to one side of their ancestry. In Dalasi’s case, he is Dark Elf, and is one of the few Falren who have ever been born into a noble house (it is, in effect, a genetic throwback). This explains his lack of geomantic abilities, though this is just as much to do with his lack of faith in Yrene, and his focus at a young age on the sword, as opposed to the sorcery.
Whilst his brothers delved into extensive education, Dalasi spurned the lessons on history, religion, and politics in favour of sparring with the other Salthias that looked after him in his youth. At age fifty, when he was first legally entitled to do so, he enrolled in the Hummel army and served on the front line as a front line scout. During the Corpse War, he proved his worth repeatedly, though seldom got involved in the great pitched battles. He was responsible for disrupting the flow of battle between Xem’Zund’s undead hosts and the high elven flotillas, ensuring that the outcome of the war drew a close when the Hummel were ready to aid the Dawnbringers in the darkness.
His keen mind awarded him with early promotion at the age of one hundred and fifty. He is set to become Lord of the Southern Swain, the general of the Hummel army, after his efforts in the wars in Corone, against the Umber Hulks, and in Dheathain. Though he naturally scorns politics, he has a gift with kindness that can sometimes be surprising, as many assume he is a dark elf, and that his heart lies elsewhere, not with the protection of his kin.
In recent years, Dalasi has continued to develop his sword fighting, and his keen sense of strategy. He fought proudly with the Phoenix Ascendant, guarding caravans and swaying malicious blades where and when instructed by their allies. He has travelled to Salvar in search of resources to aid the Hummel against the Spider Cultists. The dwarf brothers helped them secure knowledge required to forge weapons that will slay Umber Hulks.
In the days ahead, if Dalasi successfully becomes a Swain, he must take the test at the foot of the White Tree. There he will face enemies bested only with the quickest reactions and the sharpest resolve. Only his brother’s faith and his blade will ensure he emerges unscathed, and if not unscathed, still breathing. If he fails, then there shall be no future for the elven kin of the Under Dark. The World Eater will remain entombed, and Nidhogg, the Devourer, will destroy Yggdrassil and Althanas along with it.
Skills:
Strategist: Dalasi is adept at military tactics, rhetoric, and strategy. In any confrontation, he is able to predict the ebb and flow of battle. He can disrupt supply lines, counter flanking movements, and second-guess enemy generals.
Knowledge (Elven): Dalasi has an average grasp of elven history and culture. His education on the chronologies of these races is necessary as part of his military training, to enable him to lead his troops to battle.
Swordsman: Dalasi is a competent and adept fighter, skilled in the use of his blade and the direct application of his armour as a living weapon. Though by tradition, he is still a novice, his notoriety on the battlefield has garnered him much respect.
Scout: Dalasi has spent a century exploring the Under Dark. He has adept knowledge of subterranean flora and fauna. He can locate and prepare food anywhere below ground, and always knows where water is.
Abilities:
Hummel: The Hummel are descendants of high and dark elves, and have traits from both. Dalasi has X2 dexterity, X2 agility, and can see 200ft in the dark with infravision. He is highly susceptible to disease, but moderately resistant to natural poisons.
Lightning Reflexes: During battle, Dalasi can apply a -0.5 modifier to his opponent’s speed, strength or endurance. Only one modifier can be active at any one time, and no statistic will go below one.
Inventory:
Syndail: Syndail is a single edged, impressive steel bastard sword. It is a lightweight and practical blade with a grip suitable for one or two hands. The ring on the pommel is ribboned, for swinging, and it stands not much taller than Dalasi himself.
Haematite Platemail: Dalasi owns a suit of thin golden haematite plates, which are heavy (for an elf). This counts as steel, but requires geomancy to repair. Despite its bulk, it does not hinder movement, but stamina is -0.5 when he wears it.
