Dalran

Dalran de Brevic, Lord of Shadowvale, Knight Defender of Erewohn

Dalran aka Chevalier Roke is a male, Human E&E mage in his mid thirties. He is a well travelled individual with much knowledge on a wide range of issues. He is a merchant with a speciality in Gems which have fascinated him since early childhood. He is played by Chris.

Status

• Pre-retirement. (as of Feb-2012 real time) I have played Dalran almost as long as I'd like to and so he will be retired in the near future. He has specific areas of interest that will call him out of retirement or he will return in times of great need.
• RETIRED - as of the end of Winter 812WK Dalran has officially retired.
• PERMANENTLY DEAD - He died after being defeated by a horror, captured and kept in a pool of mana extraction. He was rescued by a party of Immortals and guild members and his body returned to the guild for resurrection but his body dissolved shortly thereafter and he was declared officially permanently dead on the x of Thaw 813wk.

Titles

• Lord of Shadows, or correctly the Lord of Shadowvale - his title in Erewohn.
• Knight defender of Erewohn, an order dedicated to protecting Erewohn.

Residences

When not adventuring Dalran can be seen almost anywhere across the western kingdom as his merchantile interests take him far across the WK and beyond.

You can see if he is home at any of these locations. If he isn't home there will be a staff member who can pass messages on.

1. Shadow Manor - Erewohn. See Jurgen Hauptdom
2. Hooded Monk Winery - Tuscana. See Elise Rubens
3. The Crystal Emporium - Newhaven # 47. See Akmed el-tarim
4. The 'De Brevic' residence - Seagate. See Symon de Torres
5. The 'Horstein Estate' in Artzdorf and Flugelheim

Skills

Dalran is a jack of all trades but recently became a military scientist in the battles against 'Aquilan bandits' on the Brandenburg frontier. He is a well known Gem merchant with a penchant for Blue gems and specialty in cutting and setting gems.

He has multiple weapons with his favorite Hand and a half sword being 'Necromancers Bane' which kills Orcish Necromancers very effectively.

History

Not much is known of Dalran before he joined the guild in 787, and he is certainly not forthcoming on the subject. He has become a familiar figure to some and a shadow to others who seek him out.

Autumn 805

Dalran wandered around the Western Kingsdom doing 'this and that'! See The Ostow Incident - GM Ian Wood

Spring 805

Dalran visited lovely Tuscana and ended up with a winery and home there. Scribe Notes: See Under the Tuscan Sun

806

Summer 806

Dalran spent this season wandering the Western Kingdom and doing 'bits and pieces'! See Fear and Loathing in Sanctuary

Winter 806

Dalran has been seen across the Western Kingdom. He visited some gem Merchants in Ormond in Early Frost and was then seen or heard to be in Ostow, Aquila some 2 weeks after that. Rumours of his death at the hands of Bandits on route there appear to have been vastly exaggerated as he appears to have concluded business with a number of people and then been seen in Borderlay in late Frost.

Others have said that Dalran was seen at Winter Games subtly, but they must have been mistaken.

807

Summer 807

Was seen at the Festival of the Arts

Autumn 807

Some minor work in To Ruska with Love

Spring 807

The End of The World adventure saw Dalran working to help save the Norse pantheon from the machinations of the Calamar

808

Summer 808

The Blood of Girwyllan adventure saw battles with Furfur (ending in multiple deaths), a small trip to Furfur's realm to do some 'work' and interactions with Matt Tumbledown and other such luminaries. Also involved were Girwyllan the shaper, Leraje, Moonshae and Raithe, Mr Bamph aka Trevor the assassin, Berith, some of Furfur's lieutenants, The Beast Rabban and many more.

Late Summer Dalran went to seaside to work on his tan.

Autumn 808

Assisted an old friend Sebastian with some minor investigation - The Tiger and the Mouse. The rest of Autumn was spent doing some 'work' around home.

Winter 808

Some things were happening in Khatovar - See Blood and Sand. Assisted Father Rowan, Lath, Pierre, GoK and Aryan

809

Summer 809

During the Deconstructing_a_Fictional_Girl mission I helped Clarissa_d'Ornay deal with some issues in conjunction with Kilroy, Serendipity and Thaeuss].

Autumn 809

During the The end of days mission, I spent time with Kit, Braegon, Sabrina, Naden, Silverfoam and Caprice saving some people and disposing of some threats. Along the way I parted ways with Seir, discussed things with Michael and Uriel, assisted in killing a vile dragon and his sulpherous consort, disposed of Leraje, killed Raum and undertook a thorough cleaning of some residences.

Winter 810

Spent some time teaching

Spring 810

Lambs with Teeth saw me ambushed (we knew that was going to happen), kidnapped and divested of item, manacled and taken away to be offered a job. Undertaken along with Mordrin, Cher, Tegan, Thorn and Lizette. Haven was behind it all and they had employed some of The_Beast_Rabban's men - namely Grygor_the_Boar to do their dirty work.

811

Summer 811

With barely any break between adventures I once again go out working to save other in And Darkness Was on the Face of the Deep. Once I return I go on holiday.

Dalran accompanied a party to deal with the Havenite incursion on Alusia. We also took some of the fight to Haven itself when we assisted the dwarves.

Current

Autumn 812 to now

813

Spring 813

Dalran and a few specialised assassins (Kilroy, Serendipity, Sasha and Lath)sought to deliver a blow to the Drow invasion of the Western Kingdom. They succeeded but during the process Dalran died permanently and Lath was recovered. The items that each carried were also lost and consumed by the mana devouring and using Horror known as Skoll the lurker in between.
