Chapter 11

Not long after Elly visited her parents, her path crossed with a Duergar Villager named Dhuzok. She had
little knowledge of Dhuzok but he started speaking to her claiming that he sought Redemption to the
Light. Dhuzok even came to the Fortress making this proclamation. Elly spoke to him outside, without
raising arms against him, despite her suspicions to his sincerity. Everytime she tried to press some sort
of commitment to this claim out of him, he became evasive, but, she did not resort to violence. She
reasoned that if there was even a sliver of hope he was telling the truth she should not ruin that by
attacking him.

It turned out Dhuzok was lying, afterall. He was hoping to hunt Elladorious without being accosted by
her. Her prudence in the matter earned Lord Korsgaard to come down from the heavens and bestow the
Mantle of the Maran on her. The lesson of prudence here did not go unnoticed by Elly but neither did
she truly grasp how important and significant it really was.

Sometime passed and Elly was later named Captain of the Brigade for the aging Aehwic. Elly was
honored, surprised and a bit overwhelmed she was chosen. She accepted the duty and vowed to work
hard at it, which she did. That being said, she has had some stumbles along the way. Some were small
but others not so small, especially the dreadful incident with Siphani.
