"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 Kelloravae Durothil, the last monarch of Tintageer. " pg 199 excerpt from Aryvandaar - The Golden Empire...coming soon.

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

something else to drool over....."The Nexus exists in a demiplane of its own, a small self-contained world that exists in the border ethereal, parallel to Faerun, yet less than a mile across. The walls and towers of the Waymeet form a difficult but not impassable maze. The place is not really designed to entrap travellers, just a very complex structure with few good points of reference. A broad boulevard curves around a striking cluster of tall spires at the centre of the Waymeet. Smaller passageways angle away into the crystalline depths filled with door after door and down each intersecting passage are additional rows of portals leading away into the luminous distance..."

'Tis fan-produced, but draws heavily upon officially-generated material. |

the Grand ol Sage has the right of it.....draws very heavily on canon to weave my spin on things (probably why it could never be stored here at the keep)...over the years its amazing how accurate my guesses have been......I have had more than the occasional Star Trek moment....... |

| -Applying Corellon Larethian's "surname" to Lolth, being that since she was his wife at the time, she'd have the same surname. Problem with that is, we don't know that 'Larethian' is Corellon's surname, and Elven naming/marriage conventions don't necessarily work like that- a bride need not take her husband's name. Elven marriages are very..."loose", anyway. |

"One of the most interesting and least talked about features of the vale is the Tower of
Screams. This impossibly slender black obsidian spire is wreathed in mist and clouds, and
rises in the mountains at the northern most end of the vale. It overlooks the Shinning Falls, a
waterfall that plummets down a sheer cliff rising at least 1,400 feet. The waters plunge into
a large lake that narrows into the Singing Waters river. No entrance or windows are visible in
the base of the structure, though at night strange lights glow within, and occasional screams
of indescribable terror often carry for miles through the mountains around it." pg 123....the Vyshaan Vale... |

| One more...."On a barren, dusty plain, with a sky dark with black, racing clouds that flicker with an angry orange glow, as if great fires seeth within, sits the Vyshaantaris greatest shame. In a place where thunder crackles and echoes through air desperately hot and dry and jagged peaks as sharp as swords fence in a mighty citadel of black glass. It soars skyward from the depths of a forest of twisted shadowtops, spruce, chime oaks, wierwood, elder, ash and sycamore trees. This dark and forbidding citadel is surrounded by 12 smaller fortresses belonging to the 12 great houses of the Vyshaan Empire, all of which are in the heart of the Barrens of Doom and Despair..." pg 122..... |

-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. |
