Dilanael is currently full of powerful and interesting people. This page is dedicated to modern celebrities of Dilanael. Not all will be known to everyone and a lot of it is heavily dependent on your location, but these are some of the movers and shakers.


Talia Whitefire: The Queen of Samia, Talia was crowned recently. Her daughter, Ashton, acted in treason and killed the King and his son the crown prince. In the aftermath and rubble of Allston after the war, Talia rose to the throne. Historians are fascinated since Talia was never intended to take the throne. Her brother was the eldest child and he had a son late in life, so the people had come to expect a king Edward Whitefire (and indeed, there had already been paintings and engravings commissioned).

Soren Whitefire: The King of Samia, Soren is actually of the Thunderhammer line, not the Whitefire line. He married into the family to unify the Whitefire and Thunderhammer lines. Formerly the High Mage of Red Fern, Soren is a known diviner with a respected reputation among modern spell casters.

Elara Brichtenthal: Called simple the Empress by most, though her official title is several lines long, the Empress of the Vatican Empire is a powerful woman. While her Ministers are thought by many to do the majority of the work of the Empire, it is undisputed that the Empress rules the Blood. And as goes the Blood, so goes the Empire. The Empress is willowy and pale with fiery red hair and bright eyes, the color of which varied from description to description. She is not an old woman, though nobody knows her true age. She is adored and worshiped by her people by default and is rarely seen in public.

Sovolthane: The recently elevated emperor of the Vaasa, Sovolthane is also the leader of the Priest Blades. He is thought of as the most advanced Priest in the world, though he does not claim the title of god as his father did. Sovolthane's rule has not been in place long, but he and his partner Jizelle have made some sweeping changes related to foreign policy and trade in the short months. Sovolthane is rumored to have been the Priest who slew Cyperion during the war, though he denies having struck the killing blow.

High Mage Sulius: For many years Sulius was the high mage of Red Fern. He was replaced by the High Mage Evelyn when he moved to Pedrinni to serve the King as High Mage for the whole nation of Pedrinni, a position he holds to this day. By all accounts Sulius is very old, over a hundred most say, and while he does not appear quite that old he is said to look almost seventy. Sulius is known to be among the finest crafters of magical items in the world, and had a reputation for pushing the limits of what traditional schools of thinking tell us are possible.

Illoquel: Among troubadours, bars, and some scholars, Illoquel is a source of mysterys. She is called one of the finest minstrels and performers to live, yet few see her perform. She is rumored to travel a specially designed circuit of small towns, villages, and ports. She almost never entertains for a crowd of more than thirty and her work has never been written down or transcribed. The only exception in recorded history was when she performed at the reception for the Samian royal wedding, which took place in the city of Dane's Grove. Illoquel is said to be Feirnoth and exceptionally beautiful.

Merret: Little is known publicly about the High Priest of Tara Reisz. He is known to be at least part elf and many suspect that he is half Feirnoth. Rumors abound about this young high priest, the first of which is that he is young and has been young since he too the office almost a hundred years ago. A few whisper that he was gifted with eternal youth by Tara Reisz, but more practical people suggest that perhaps Merret is merely a title held by the high priest and passed on like the robes of office. Many believe that the office is held communally and the person who looks most like the description of Merritt is the one who speaks for the church. Whatever the case, this High priest is particularly enigmatic.

Apothis: Known almost worldwide as the greatest living swordsman, Apothis has lead the Dragonshome Band for almost ten years, since Tysear was either killed, died, or elevated to the station of God (depending on who you believe). The Band has changed much in that time from a merciless troupe to a group with morals. People are far more accepting of the Band as of late, and people in Samia are especially happy with them after the excellent showing they put up during the recent War. Apothis is rumored to be very good looking and among the best swordsmen alive, though many say he has never taken on a student.

Bekkir: The rumor of the Bekkir is centered largely around the city of Red Fern. It is known as a dark clad figure who stalks the city at night carrying a staff that is a sword. He is said to kill with a thought and believed to suck the souls from the young. Most believe him to be a myth.

Chokar col Durn: Recently elevated High Mage of Red Fern, Durn has actually lived in the city for ages. Said to be some sort of elf (Sanamede is a popular choice) he has spent years living just outside Ref Fern is what was once the home of a trio of ill principled wizards. The Triumvirate, as they were called, were removed and Durn took the tower for himself. He is known for his flying ship design, which allowed kilpa-free trade between both the Vaasa and the Great Desert (though such trips are still long journeys). Durn has a reckless reputation and many are concerned about his rise to power in Red Fern.

King Leothandi Tudorella: The King of Pedrinni, Leothandi is said to be a paladin following the behest of some obscure Scorchlands god that was worshiped by his wife, a Tribeswoman once herself. The King and Queen of Pedrinni are hereditary titles and as such they are not a matched set. The queen is said to dislike the King, in fact, and they rarely agree on matters of state easily, though they are required to come to unanimous decisions on many subjects.

Queen Maria DiCello: The Queen of Pedrinni, she is said to be a hard woman with little love for social niceties. Her guard are more numerous than those of the King, though they hold less respect in the eyes of the people of Pedrinni, who love Leothandi.

Kel: godlike figure worshiped or at least revered by the Children of Kel. The Children claim that he is the living incarnation of death and that he grants them mystical powers. Little more is known about this figure, including whether he exists at all.

Simon Saint: Infamous priest of Meiros (and Maeros in Vatica) Simon Saint is universally disliked by his church. Wearing the ancient grey robes on the church in defiance of modern church tradition, Simon is said to bear any affliction that one can imagine. Hairless, fat, too thin, a midget, an albino, a deformed freak. Very few people have a worse reputation than Simon Saint, and yet he is elusive. Very few people have actually seen him and most outside the church are not aware of him at all.

Eric Bayle: Assumed leader of the outlaws known as the Brotherhood of the Whip, this figure is usually said to be a Rigothan elf, at least in part. He has bright orange hair and equally bright orange eyes in most tales and though you would think that would make him easy to find, he constantly eludes the law in Pedrinni. While he and his Brotherhood are hated by the authorities and the crown they are loved by the people, which many say is the secret to his success.

The Bones: The world's deadliest assassin. Nobody knows what the Bones looks like or even who he is, but he is the highest paid man in the Guild. If you absolutely need someone to be dead and you have all the money in the world to spend, the Bones is your man. If you can contact the Guild and if you can get him.

The Duchess Teir Alvarin: young Duchess of Allston. Allston is notable because it is the largest city in the known world and Teir is the youngest Duchess in the history of the city. Teir's father died when she was 16 and she took up the mantle of Duchess with difficulty, but most say that the war hardened her and she is said to be a better ruler since the war.
