Dorlangan Shalestone the Sworn Enemy of the High Tower

Title History

Role

Chapter 3

Dorlangan's excuse for why he hates magic, instead of that he was a former
mage student, is that he was sent with an envoy from Lower Cragstone to
barter with the High Tower in an effort to sell gems (his family gem business
being a good cover).

His lie is that he was poking around as a young svirf, being good and curious
like they all are, when he was captured, thrown into a warded chamber, and
experimented upon.

Role

Chapter 2

Dorlangan has opted to pursue the village largely due to Nossos, who he
really really likes. Past that, he has joined the warriors guild but in his
weapons studies, he sticks to weapons knowable by most schools of magi, as
that is what he is most comfortable with from his days training in the High
Tower of Sorcery (whips and hands.)

Furthermore, he will follow Rahsael, to help him cope with the loss of his
magical abilities, and also to for guidance in hiding his taboo past from his
companions and comrades who truly hate magic.

Dorlangan does resent the high tower and the magi who experimented on him,
stripped him of his (in his mind) potent magical prowess, and cast him out.
But he doesn't truly hate magic itself. Because of this, he may occasionally
spare a mage's life while fighting, but he will certainly attempt to kill
them and maintain his reputation in the village. This is because he wants to
be well regarded so he has easier access to the powerful magical artifacts
that are brought within.

These artifacts are meant to be destroyed, but Dorlangan will likely destroy
the bare minimum and instead try to make excuses or 'forget' to destroy them,
and ferret them away somewhere where he can chase the magical high that being
exposed to them gives him. If he is successful in this, he will be louder,
more excitable, and in a better mood for a time.

Role

Chapter 1

Dorlangan was a failed mage. He obsessed over his studies, but simply
wasnt good at it. He was deadly serious about his work, spent immense
amounts of time at it, and was utterly convinced he was very good at what he
did. In fact, he was utterly incompetent.

It wasn't that he was dangerous. It's just that he was a drain on time and
resources at the High Tower of Sorcery, where he had received an
apprenticeship due to family connections (gem business). After numerous
attempts at remediation, he was expelled for being so mediocre. They told him
it was as much for his good as the Towers.

He conducted experiments on his own, convinced that he would change
everything and maybe even create a new school of magic. He felt it in his
bones, and he felt it in the earth. He became psychologically addicted to
magic and eventually destitute. He had a psychotic break and returned to the
High Tower, attempting to steal magical items and perhaps do harm to those
who had wronged him.

As cruel, ironic fate would have it, an instructor caught Dorlangan and
turned him into an experiment. The instructor, who knew Dorlangan well,
performed a dampening ritual on the svirfneblin, removing his ability to
perform magic, and shifting his brainwaves to a frequency incompatible with
magical objects.

As an unintended consequence, Dorlangan very much enjoys being around magical
objects - he gets a sort of high out of it.

One day, as he wandered the mountains near Udgaard, friendless and alone, he
came across an unconscious dwarf.

Whats your name? he asked the dwarf.

Nossos, the dwarf mumbled, over and over again.

I guess thats what well call you, Dorlangan said.
