Etarekoth Xelthzus, the Chancellor of the Eternal Night

---

Description

You see before you an ancient elf with skin the color of ash, rocking
slightly on the balls of his feet as if preparing to spring into action at
any moment. His clothing is plain and unassuming, shades of grey and black,
and although no weapons are apparent you have no doubt that they are hidden
on his person. His hair, a slightly lighter shade of grey than his skin, is
pulled back into a short tail and tied with a bit of black yarn, revealing
the tips of drastically pointed ears. His face makes the centuries of life
this dark-elf has seen readily apparent, his skin once unblemished and smooth
is now full of wrinkles and scars, though his high cheekbones and slanted
eyes seem strangely beautiful in an alien way. Eyes the color of amethysts
glint beneath fine eyebrows, and a chill runs down your spine as those eyes
meet yours. Glancing quickly away, you can see that...

The Scions
Added Mon Sep 22 18:54:41 2003 at level 43:

During his hunts, he has allied himself with several others, including
Nakterius and Ghuishoc, a necromancer and shaman respectively. He has seen
them call fearsome beasts through magical portals, and has longed for such
power himself. To this end, he now seeks to gain entrance to the Scions of
the Eternal Night, that he might discover other knowledge to aid him in the
dealing of death to his enemies.

Role

Chapter 10

The beggining..
Added Mon Sep 22 18:53:08 2003 at level 43:

Etarekoth Xelthzus left the city of the dark-elves at an early age. A trait
alien to his race, he refused to spend the years of study required for a
dark-elf to learn his arts. In a way more akin to the short-lived humans or
avians, Etarekoth stole away from the dark-elf city as he was on patrol, and
eventually made his way to the surface, where he continues to train in his
deadly art.

Role

Chapter 9

Philosophy
Added Mon Sep 22 18:54:15 2003 at level 43:

Etarekoth believes in two things in life: his willingness to kill, and his
ability to do so. To this end, he strives to slay as many of his enemies as
he can, at times without regard for his personal safety. Underlining this is
his belief that when his body has given out he will be judged by the gods, or
one god, he who rules over the dead. When it comes for his time to be judged,
Etarekoth would have the souls of his enemies sing his praises before the
God, that he might be granted immortality himself.

Role

Chapter 7

Hunting Battle
Added Tue Sep 30 01:29:38 2003 at level 44:

In his quest to please the Death God, Etarekoth has
slain Zhelrantix, the Captain of the BatterRagers.
Following this, he was contacted by the Immortal
Sabiene and a discussion followed on why he killed
the giant. Careful with what he would reveal, Etarekoth
encouraged Sabiene's obvious purpose of declaring war
upon him. The slaughter that would follow would only
serve to fuel the hunger of the Death God. Etarekoth
told Sabiene that he would not dissapoint, and then
proceded to assassinate Zylundak, the Commander of
Battle, shortly after.

Role

Chapter 6

Budding Legend
Added Tue Sep 30 01:30:20 2003 at level 44:

Throughout his life, Etarekoth has worked within the shadows.
However, now that he is at war with the Village, and at least
part of his true intentions are known by his enemies,
Etarekoth would seek something greater. As his name is whispered
with dread at night in the huts of the villagers he has killed,
so it is also whispered within the halls of the Immortals,
who decreed that he is to be hunted by Battle. Etarekoth would
further use this to his advantage - he seeks to wear the mark
of Kastellyn, that he might become an infamous Legend of Thera.

Role

Chapter 5

Lastname
Added Tue Oct 14 05:18:38 2003 at level 51:

Xelthzus, when loosly translated from the tongue of
the dark-elves, means 'of-precision', as in the
"Blade of Precision". Although Etarekoth has chosen to
walk away from his family ties, he still holds true
to his last name, as he believes it is a suitable one
for one of his art.

Role

Chapter 4

Quirks
Added Tue Oct 14 05:19:04 2003 at level 51:

From a life of constantly being hit on the head
by the many warriors in Thera specialising in maces,
Etarekoth has lost a small part of his sanity. He
is very protective of his scalp, even thinking that
it is an entity of it's own. As such, he derives how
he addresses himself and how others might address him
from the his current headwear. For instance, when he wore
the Captain's Hat, he was The Captain. Now that he wears
the Black Mitre, he is the Black Bishop.

Role

Chapter 3

Maturity / Advisor
Added Fri Dec 5 04:08:35 2003 at level 51:

Though it might not be apparent from simply looking at him,
Etarekoth has aged, if not physically, then mentally. He has
seen Scions come and go, and has developed a greater
appreciation for the magical lore of the Eternal Night.
As such, he has learned to twist the planar boundary that he
might conjure stronger denizens from the Ccul'gra's home plane.

He has begun to ponder the nature of the two forces he embraces,
Death and Destruction. In his younger days, he believes he was
but a tool of these forces, and acted almost on instinct to bring
them to Thera. Now he ponders their nature, and how the differently
the denizens of Thera treat them. Some are merely tools as he once was,
acting on instict. Others such as the Fortress seek to somehow
justify their implusive instincts to bring Death by branding those
they slay as "evil". And there are the few, such as Etarekoth, and
the former Advisor, Mekantos, who are concious of their desires,
and embrace them in their pure form.

As Mekantos has ascended from the mortal plane, the position of
Advisor remains unfullfilled. Etarekoth has seen no others speak
to applicants in order to sift the capable from the cattle, and
has taken to do this himself, until an Advisor is appointed. When
interviewing potential applicants, Etarekoth looks for precision
in their responses - he wishes to know that they are dedicated
to their path, and that they do not merely spout generalities.
He also looks for a thirst for knowledge, which he believes is
a quality that all members of the Fold should possess. He has also
made it clear to those he has spoken with, that within the Chasm,
all save the Lords, Advisor and Chancellor are seen as equals, and
as such all are expected to contribute to the defend the power of
the Fold, to study and understand it, and ultimately, to give
their life for it, should the situation require such action.

In addition, Etarekoth has an alternate reason for coveting the
position of Advisor. As his prays to Lord Kastellyn have gone
unanswered, he believes that the Lord does not yet consider him
worthy to grant him an audience. And if that is the case, then
Etarekoth wonders how he will prove himself worthy and claim the
mantle of Death as his own.

Role

Chapter 2

Chancellor
Added Tue Jan 13 03:43:43 2004 at level 51:

Etarekoth has been given the Chancellorship by
Mekantos. He is...dissapointed that he cannot command
the magical powers of the Chancellor. With time
perhaps, though in truth he would prefer a blade
if correctly made. As the harnessing of magical
energies bring Euphoria to a magus, the cold and
unfeeling touch of iron serves to remind Etarekoth
of his true purpose in this mortal existence.

His prays to the Lord of Legends have
continually gone unanswered. The Archmage
once said that the best artisians of Etarekoth's
craft were not well known - that such is the
nature of the beast. Due to these events,
Etarekoth has come to the conclusion that
the path to immortality for himself does not
lie with the Lord of Legends. Instead
of seeking Kastellyn's mark, Etarekoth has created
his own, that of the withered black rose, which is
tattooed on his right wrist. Like the rose, the
life of a mortal is but a drop in the river of time,
to be remembered the life must bloom as the rose,
and it's bloom must out-do all of the other
roses, which can be but weeds when compared to it.

Etarekoth has also taken an interest in matters
concerning the Fold, both past and present. He seeks
to find out how contact was first made between the
planes, and by whom. Furthermore, Etarekoth seeks
knowledge of the Greater Ccul'Gra. The Archmage has
indicated that answers will be dependant on his
performance on Chancellor, so Etarekoth shall bide
his time and rebuild the strength of the Fold.
In truth, he would prefer to find such answers by
himself, and he has sought answers within the library
of Kteng, though he has so far uncovered no tomes that
might provide him with such knowledge.

Role

Chapter 1

The Work of Etarekoth.
Added Thu Feb 5 19:22:10 2004 at level 51:

*The cover of his ancient looking tome depicts a
*withered black rose. Three runes are inscribed
*upon the cover, and you recognize they are from
*the language of the dark-elves: Death, Destruction
*and Victory.

*As you flick through the pages, you note that the
*writing is at first neat and orderly, then begins
*to degenerate into inelligble scrawls in some sort
*of rune-based language you are not familiar with.

*By observing the frequeny of the runes used, you are
*able to decipher some text from the latter passages.

Dying, the deliverance of Death, is an art. As a
painter may paint a portrait, a singer would compose
a ballad, one who embraces the concept of Death will
express himself through the dealing of it. Like all
arts, each artist will express himself in a different way,
using a different style, a different stroke, though the end
result is always the same. Those who follow this path
recognize that Death is the one true constant in Thera...

...As gods and mortals alike have the impulse to create, so
do they have an impulse to tear down such creations. Those
who embrace the path of Destruction are the purest of the
Death God's disciples...

...As I look into the eyes of my prey, my blade through her heart,
and watch the last drops of life seeping from her, I feel more
alive than I ever have, exhiliration unimaginable as a I undo the
creation of the Gods with one swift strike...

...Victory is a state of mind, a way of seeing the world, and
ones purpose within it. As a scion, the knowledge that the
coming of the Last Sunset is inevitable has sustained me. When
one loses such a state of mind, they become as a cancerous tumour,
which must be cut from the body, that it might not corrupt the pure...
