Personality

Tenedos is a person who is usually content with his lot in life. Those who observe him see a young man dedicated to the art of geomancy, but underneath that is a desire to also prosper in politics. Despite working for the Brotherhood and obtaining a reputation as one of their most promising young offensive mages, he is actually quite reserved and respectful and is seen as one of their more prominent young voices.

Tenedos tends to be curious of matters of the world and knowledge of magic that elude him, a trait he shares with Shinsou Vaan Osiris, his mentor, and intensifies his focus when he feels there is something to learn. Although proud of it, he is however also very cautious of his identity as a Brotherhood member in the post-siege era of Corone, understanding that the actions of the Brotherhood have shifted public attitudes to the negative. As a result, he is naturally weary of those he interacts with who identify with other factions, but friendly enough once a rapport has been established.

Abilities

Needle Tempest

Drawing on the power of his geomancy, Tenedos can manipulate the water vapour inherent in the atmosphere to create a shower of two inch long needles of ice. The spread and diameter of the needle cloud is two metres in diameter, and once the spell is in effect the needles can be thrust at high speed towards an opponent. Each needle is the strength of iron. This ability can be called upon twice per thread.

The Gnarled Roots of Damascus

Tenedos can summon up to four, fifteen foot long bark like vines within a twenty five foot radius to either lash out at or ensnare his opponent. If the vines make skin contact, they will sap the strength of the opponent and channel the energy to Tenedos, physically replenishing him of energy, but the process takes ten consecutive seconds of full skin contact to complete fully. The vines are as strong as iron, and at least one must also be making skin contact with Tenedos to benefit him. This ability can be used once per thread.

Background

Tenedos Damascus is a man born in Radasanth to an Assembly senator mother and a wizard father. Growing up in Radasanth with a mage father allowed him a fine education in magic, specifically geomancery, and this background has meant that the young Tenedos became exceptional in the field at a young age. As he got older, Tenedos discovered that he held a deep dislike of the Assembly in its current format, and argued daily with his mother on political matters. Later life turned his focus towards becoming one of the greatest geomancers in the world, inspired by the legend and tales of Luc Kraus, one of Althanas’s most famous and practiced in the art.

Upon completion of his fifth year in Blueraven Academy in Radasanth, whispers began to surface that Shinsou Vaan Osiris, leader of the Brotherhood, had taken a keen interest in the young man due to his natural ability and political views. Tenedos’s story opens at the very beginning – a meeting in Whitevale, where the young geomancer comes face to face with his destiny.
