"Intrigued by the brazen temerity of this intruder Malkizid allowed him access to the Tower Screaming, and there was forged a relationship where by each gained what they most desired; power, knowledge and most importantly - revenge. In Prince Ivosaar, Malkizid found a willing lieutenant eager to learn, and a tool to further his revenge against his former master and mistress – the over weaning upstart Corellon Larethien and his treacherous wife Araushnee Larethien; in exchange Ivosaar gained great powers far beyond those known by any other Selutaar of his generation. In Lord Malkizid Ivosaar found a willing teacher who was happy to sponsor his rise to power, thus each served the avarice and greed of the other.
After 3 centuries away and armed with his own copy of the Book of Keeping, Ivosaar Vyshaan emerged from the Tower Screaming a drastically altered being. Gone was the waif thin elf with the straggly white hair and pallid complexion. In his place was a towering being of awesome might and power, a mating of elf blood with daemon – the first Daemon Fey. Schooled in the high magic arts of ancient Arvanaith, Ivosaar ventured forth firstly to establish his dominance within his families hierarchy, and thence to take revenge upon the family he blamed for his clans (and deities), fall from grace, the descendants of Lord Kellor’avae Durothil, the last monarch of Tintageer. " pg 199 excerpt from Aryvandaar - The Golden Empire...coming soon.

After more than 170 years of vicious guerrilla warfare, the Miyeritari are forced back to their last major stronghold by daemon tainted sons of Vyshaan using high magic with a distinctive daemonic taint. The Vyshaan arts are brutally subtle, often transforming entire villages and companies of elves into stones, trees or minor animals of the forests and plains. The use of wyrms and daemons to deal with the more recalcitrant Miyeritarans sees many massacres go unrecorded as entire communities and their warriors are wiped off of the map. Retaliatory Ilythiiri tactics and Miyeritaran desperation has seen them alienate many of their allies in Illefarn and Shantel Othrieir.

-Being a resident Elf expert (I can literally say I wrote the book on them! That sounds awesome!), and Shevarash does not have a surname. There are no Forgotten Realms sourcebooks that give Shevarash a surname. Your memory is playing tricks on you, here. |

Fail hard? Obviously not, when Snowblood confirmed it..... I MIGHT be crazy, but BOTH of us?! Hardly likely- and since he IS our resident elf-expert, I'd gladly bow to his superior knowledge. Now, if I could just remember exactly where that mention was, or if he's feeling froggy enough to point it out, that would be even better. Unfortunately, most of my sources are in boxes at this time. Storage, y'know. |

Just googled that last name, myself, and I'm not finding any canon references to it, other than one of the elves in the Dawntree articles on the WotC site. |

I just checked my dad's complete dnd collection. Lord Karsus is Super-King, and Alystra fails hard. Sheverash has no given last name in any published source.
So I guess you actually are crazy, Alystra! |

Dang! Don't have that issue so I can't check it.
Can someone see if there is any reference to a Shevarash surname in there?
I'd really like to know if he does have an official surname written/posted somewhere.
Does anyone know if Shevarash is one of Ed's original creation or another Realms designer? We could possibly ask the official source! |

He's only been referenced once, if memory serves -- in the December 2010 issue of DRAGON [#394]. He receives an off-hand mention in the article "Channel Divinity: Corellon's Devoted." |

If Dagnirion(LK) doesn't know then it has to either be homebrew or really obscure.

-Thente Thunderspells cited C:EoE, and I flipped through his entry in Demihuman Deities, and it's not there, either. Two sources to check off. |

It was not odd. Kelemvor dropped his surname too.
On topic: what source is Shevarash's surname from? |

The archer-guard Shevarash Taurntyrith, leader of the Lore Guards of The Gods Walk, in an anger-tinged prayer to Corellon, vows to become the Seldarine’s hand against the drow to extract revenge for the loss of his family. The Black Archer never smiled again, as he sought to kill

No, there was another one (I know I'm not crazy, here- I saw it somewhere I'm SURE of it!!!) that was just barely mentioned. It was in a brief description of the Elven Court Slaughter in one of the older books. Pretty sure it was one of those two, as those are the only ones I had hard copies of until recently, and I saw it a long time ago. |

Are you referring to his "Sheverash the Black Archer" name, that he was referenced as before his Apotheosis?

-Trust me, if he had a listed surname, I would have found it and included it in his EoF entry. If, however, the slim chance that I overlooked it, having poured over sources mainstream and obscure, my mind will be blown. |

-Shevarash never had a listed surname. He may or may not have actually had a surname, since he was likely a Wood Elf, and Wood Elves don't necessarily always follow the given name, surname naming conventions that we use. |
