Chapter 11

Azhelak has grown to be middle aged by Felar standards. In this time he has accomplished
much. Most notably of which is becoming a Warden of the Outlanders. During which he has
met key individuals in his young life. They are as follows:

Auldr: Sunwarden of the Refuge and bringer of change to the Outlands. While Azhelak was
first intrigued and inspired by Auldr's plans to embrace dwarves and Paladins he has
recently been discouraged by the leader of the Warden's branch. It is obvious to Azhelak
that Auldr does not trust him because of his curse. Azhelak endures daily conversations
in which he is reminded that if his curse should lead to unwanted bloodshed that he will
be "cut off" from the Ancients. A notion that Azhelak finds amusing as he feels it is the
Ancients who have cursed him. Overall Azhelak thinks well of Auldr but finds it strange
to have a "brother" who does not trust him and ultimately whom he cannot trust as well.

Andira: Azhelak's secret. Azhelak's beacon of hope. Azhelak's love. He first met her after
feeding on the blood of the vile to quiet the urges of his curse. Longing for relief from
his affliction he sought her and Oshui and found a sense of hope he'd been lacking in his
quest. Upon telling Auldr how Andira convinced him to fight on and to approach the Goddess
Baerinika, he was told that Andira should "offend" him, as she does the Ancients, through
her conjuration craft. But she does not. How could a wretched beast like Azhelak ever
question the purity of a High-born Elven Prophet of the Light? And so he has stayed close
to her at all times. Hiding their talks from all except Baerinika. Andira is a self
described "mess" and as far as Azhelak can tell her selflessness is both a blessing and a
type of curse itself. He intends to be the first in her life to put her well-being ahead
of his own, despite her aggressive objections. His love for her grows daily, though he
keeps this to himself. She is with Oshui, and even despite that what would a beautiful
Elven woman do with a horribly disfigured felar swampdweller?

Brakrar: Azhelak's first true friend in the Tree. A felar, like himself, who has earned his
loyalty through years of hunting together. Azhelak considers him a brother, despite his home
on a different branch, and will take a life (or give his own) for the young warrior.
