Runaktla Vezendratch the Chancellor of the Night, Dark Fleshcrafter

---

Description

Stark white hair runs just below the shoulders of this
frail, almost skeletal drow. His face bears a perpetual
sneer, and his eyes are like silvery slits against his
jet-black skin. Disfigurement is a common theme for this
weathered drow, and counting up all the aspects of him
that make him seem disfigured is near impossible: One
leg is longer than the other; his thumb and pinky finger
on his right hand is longer than his index finger; his
left leg is bent outwards slightly; his chest is
unnaturally sunken in; and gray spots blot the back of
his neck. Furthermore, these are all disfigurements
noticable while he wears concealing clothing. The
imagination can run wild at what physical defects run
beneath his clothing.

Despite his disfigurements, Runaktla seems to be
unhampered by them, likely a product of his magics, or
him just growing accustomed to them over time. He is
generally fluid in his movements, albeit it is nearly
always aided by visible magics, such as those that
cause levitation or unnatural agility.

Background
Added Sun Jul 11 21:07:08 2004 at level 34:

Runaktla is from the drow house of Menzobarrazzan.
House Menzobarrazzan is dedicated to slave and servant
training and sale. Runaktla's childhood was spent
learning under the tuteledge of the house elders in
respect to slave trade. Although he had some sort of a
knack in corralling and obtaining obedience from
slaves, he generally despised the job because it was
boring to him. Hence, his travels to the surface.

In regards to his sphere, Runaktla is fascinated by
death. He considers the threat and cause of death an
excellent means to achieve goals. Due to this, his
skill at diplomacy is somewhat limited. He isn't prone
to working out solutions that don't give him entirely
everything he wants, at little cost. If a person
irritates him, hampers his goals, or even disagrees
with him at the wrong time, he will either kill him,
or have him killed. If he is unable to do either, then
he is undoubtedly working towards being able to. He
also holds tremendous grudges.

In regards to his chosen class of magic, Runaktla
knew that he would be weak, very weak, at first. He
despises it with every ounce of his being, hating
every moment that he has to deal with someone that
bothers him. His patience, and knowledge of what is
to come to him, what power he will hold, is all that
keeps him stable. He has already tasted a small bit of
personal power, and his patience has been worn down
accordingly.

Immortal Comments

Wed Mar 16 16:48:49 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 49 (136 hrs):
Doing better on the killing.

Wed Mar 16 23:54:39 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 49 (139 hrs):
Gave last name because everyone deserves some Muse love.

Wed Apr 6 00:09:00 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (195 hrs):
Seems to be pretty rock steady. Does pretty nice work on retrievals.

Fri Apr 8 12:34:01 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (199 hrs):
Gave 'the Dark Fleshcrafter'. A steady player who often seem unrecognized. Maybe a title will bring forth a higher caliber of play...quite capable.

Sun Apr 10 18:55:20 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (205 hrs):
Seems to do pretty well on defending and retrieving.

Wed Apr 13 00:36:30 2005 by 'Drokalanatym' at level 51 (215 hrs):
Scion is in such a poor state right now that I can't tell if this is a genuinely solid, skilled trooper of a character or if he just seems good completely by default. I'll err on the side of praise.

Sun Apr 17 16:25:47 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (223 hrs):
Seems to know his stuff, and tends to go about taking care of business.

Wed Apr 27 00:00:05 2005 by 'Innis' at level 51 (240 hrs):
Attacking Phyllax and the Lich while they raid battle...balls.

Sun May 1 22:57:18 2005 by 'Drokalanatym' at level 51 (263 hrs):
This character is completely the lynchpin of Scion right now, and not simply because he's the leader. If anything, it's fairer to say that he's the leader because he leads, and the ability to induct/uninduct and the Chancello

Sun May 1 22:58:27 2005 by 'Drokalanatym' at level 51 (263 hrs):
title are secondary. In a cabal full of people who aren't taking risks, he rolls the dice often and comes up with success more often than not.

Sun May 15 21:51:54 2005 by 'Drokalanatym' at level 51 (293 hrs):
Smart use of bouyancy. I wish I could give him XP for it. Maybe a minor quest spell down the line is in order.

Tue Jun 7 08:59:03 2005 by 'Drokalanatym' at level 51 (347 hrs):
Wrote a great note to Scion. Paraphrase: Some of you talk about knowledge but I'm not seeing anything happening. If you just want to beat people, maybe you should go join Empire.

Sun Jun 12 20:59:40 2005 by 'Valguarnera' at level 51 (368 hrs):
Granted Mental Knife for being both a potent mind and weapon for Scion. Fairly potent for a transmuter, but he's been good a long while, and nears the end of his life.

Mon Jun 13 18:21:56 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (375 hrs):
Nice dialog with Outlander Sunwarder on acceptable behavior.

Mon Jun 13 18:25:11 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (375 hrs):
Impressive discussion with the Sunwarden.

Sat Jun 18 12:37:40 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (389 hrs):
To gve Runaktla credit, is a small thing...this character goes against rough odds with little support. Nice job.

Mon Jun 20 00:32:08 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (397 hrs):
Runaktla: Besides, it is in their code of honor to die numerous times. They like this sort of thing, deep down inside. - Speaking

Mon Jun 20 00:32:08 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (397 hrs):
Runaktla: Besides, it is in their code of honor to die numerous times. They like this sort of thing, deep down inside. - Speaking of killing Villagers...Cudos!

Wed Jun 22 17:44:17 2005 by 'Drokalanatym' at level 51 (410 hrs):
Scion is going to so miss this character when he's gone.

Thu Jun 23 04:25:25 2005 by 'Muuloc' at level 51 (411 hrs):
He's a damn good Chancellor. I hope he goes for a con quest or something. I'll definitely miss him.

Wed Jul 6 14:53:48 2005 by 'Dreaa' at level 51 (452 hrs):
Had a nice chat with him about Scion and leadership when he passes on. He never made me think twice he wasn't a hardcore Scion. So far pretty good, Scion is definately gonna take a hard blow when he's gone.

Sat Jul 9 00:44:16 2005 by 'Eshval' at level 51 (460 hrs):
Decided to go out with a bang and fighting. Cudos for this type of action.

Role

Chapter 1

As a Member of the Chasm (Part 2)
Added Mon Mar 28 03:03:08 2005 at level 51:

As for the others... Anubris is well... there... and that
is about it. Ounlee shows to be an excellent soldier but
nothing more and mirrors Judaao in the "brotherhood" sense,
although not as adamant about her friendliness to that
respect. Hmmnn... I would have never guessed that I would
even have to consider that years ago when I looked at the
Chasm from the outside. My time here has definitely been
insightful, but also certainly disappointing, at least in
respect to my... colleagues.

How would our Ccul'gra "allies" view me, then? I suppose
from others' eyes I appear bland of voice and opinion, but
I must remind myself my silence is intentional - partially
in wait so I may better see who and what I am dealing with
and partially because the majority of the arguments I may
be party to are over trifle things such as bodily coverings.
My role in those arguments generally is to play the thief
and take what I can unnoticed, and if noticed, perhaps hand
it over. Betrayal, Treachery and Greed all have their place
but I'm unwilling to let any true intentions known for such
insignificant and temporary gains.

Perhaps it is time for me to do less criticizing and more
acting. This missive from the Chancellor is appealing,
but perhaps I'll take it a bit further and pen a scroll
to The Muse soon.

Role

Chapter 2

As a Member of the Chasm (Part 1)
Added Mon Mar 28 01:26:42 2005 at level 51:

Runaktla has been a member of the Chasm for quite a while,
though little in comparison to his total life, very little.
In general, what he has seen from the Chasm's other members
is a far cry from impressive. Each one carries a fatal flaw
which renders them unsuitable for dealing with what is most
certainly the most murderous and treacherous of extra-planar
beasts - the Ccul'gra and their many deviations.

Judaao, although I'm sure is competent in worldly knowledge
and perhaps a soldier role, displays signs of affection and
brotherhood to the point that, if he were an emissary of the
Chasm in negotiation with these beasts, he wouldn't have the
ability to make the proper... sacrifices... of others...
weaker, for the prophecy's fulfillment.

Sythlindora, the Elementalist... she has shown no great
character or strength, nor ability to withstand our foes...
although her art of invocation is a very powerful one. Her
fatal flaw isn't that, however, its her trust and lack of
leadership in her craft, for she has much potential but it
is evaded frequently. In the several times I've traveled
with that one, she has been the victim of following others
into knowing suicide nearly every time.

Of course, this brings me to Chancellor Akscereh. When I
was first made a part of the Chasm, I quickly realized that
he was not made Chancellor for his prowess in leading a
"Dark" army. I joined him on a couple suicide attempts
under false pretenses before I realized this, and before I
came to the conclusion that I must watch out for my own
skin whilst a member of the Chasm. Naturally, I realized
Akscereh's role was not one of Chasm "Administration" so
much as it was his deep knowledge of the forbidden. For
that reason, and probably because his grotesque appearance
likely make the Ccul'gra at home amongst him, I believe he
is Chancellor. He also seems to... be on the "border" so
to speak, like that man beneath the Village of Azuremain.

(continued in next role)

Chapter 3

Scions 3 (Last and overview re: events w/ Scions)
Added Sat Jul 24 03:05:26 2004 at level 41:

Needless to say, Runaktla isn't overly impressed by
the current crop of Scions that he has met. As a
drow that has lived the majority of his life in the
Underdark, he inherently feels and lives the unspoken
belief widely held by many of his kind that those who
befriend and show kindness and courtesy too blatantly
leave themselves too open and appealing targets to
victimizers that want to control or destroy them.
Sargataneos on the other hand is an idiot that has
illusions of grandeur that are indeed only illusions.

All in all, although he still seeks the Chasm and the
fulfillment of its goals, he is astonished that he
has not met a single member of the Chasm thus far
which he believes would be a suitable agent of the
Chasm to a dimension that is rumored to harbor
black-hearted, malevolent beings.

On top of that, and in a less logical sense, Runaktla
is just flat out cruel, often using the pettiest and
weakest excuses to harm others, and to bring about
the death of others. He definitely is a victimizer.
Although now he keeps the Chasm's interests in mind,
he is tickled about the idea of sabotaging either
Sargataneos or Corilanth's attempts at the becoming.

Role

Chapter 4

Scions 2
Added Sat Jul 24 02:32:09 2004 at level 41:

(continued role)
Runaktla's response to Corilanth caused Corilanth to
immediately change his tone. His conviction of his
weight in the Chasm dwindled, as he now said that he
write his missive, and see what that would do. This
caused Runaktla to further doubt Corilanth's ability,
and eventually their words with one another ceased.

Furthermore, at a later time, Corilanth spoke to
Runaktla to set aside their differences, and they
traveled to gain in power. Within minutes of joining
Corilanth granted items to Runaktla, and befriended
him, then not too much later, on his own devise, told
him that he had his recommendation.

In a situation with another Scion, Sargataneos had
fell in Hamsah. The presence of a nightwalker that
assisted him had shown Runaktla his affiliation. He
spoke with him, and traveled with him briefly. The
necromancer was pushy and demanding, speaking as if
he had great power. However, he littered the lands
with his corpses.

Yet again, with another Scion, Aytak, he had found
him to be very friendly and courteous in his brief
travels with him.

Role

Chapter 5

Scions
Added Sat Jul 24 02:02:36 2004 at level 41:

Runaktla seeks to join the Scions of the Eternal Night.
His first encounter with anyone of the fold was with
Corilanth, a Necromancer of the Chasm. In his younger
yars he raided Akan several times with him and an orc
named Quorgan. After several raids an Orc named Thrawk
spoke to him, intending to kill and displace Corilanth
in the group. Runaktla disagreed simply because he had
enough problems trusting a single orc, let alone a pair
of them, and he had at least a small semblence of
patience when growing in power.

Runaktla later left the orc and necromancer, and he was
later attacked and slain by them. The orcs told
Corilanth that it was Runaktla's idea to displace him,
and Corilanth was angered.

Runaktla later extracted his revenge on Corilanth,
killing him and retrieving his more valuable items that
were lost. At this point Corilanth was a member of the
Chasm, and he threatened Runaktla, claiming that he
should not have made enemies with those of the Chasm.
Runaktla's retort led Corilanth to know that he intends
to join the Chasm, and he brushed aside the threat from
Corilanth that this would bar him from joining the
Chasm. His suggestion to Corilanth substantially said
that he greatly doubts that his membership in the fold
guarantees unwavering support from its leaders, both
mortal and immortal, and that he also highly
disbelieves that the Chasm's leadership would look down
on well-extracted revenge.
