Elurond's Character Sheet

Son of Thalion Paurgiliath and Dame Lidia Vie.

Identical twin of Elurion Paurgiliath.

Older brother of Eluriel and Eluthien Paurgiliath.

Older brother of Eluwing and Eluwen Paurgiliath.

First Cousin(Maternal) of Lord Raza Vie.

Elurond and Elurion, and their younger sisters Eluriel and Eluthien, and Eluwen and Eluwing, were children by a brilliant noble Harnic High Elven lady who might have been Thalion's childhood sweetheart. She was a priestess of Eru, and a scion of the Vie family; Lord Raza Vie's aunt. She was married instead, by arrangement, to a minor prince of the Royal house of Eveal who died almost immediately.

By the traditions, she would have remained childless. Thalion sets a new tradition, but it was not until he persuaded her to undergo a mental link to his holy divining, and confirm it with her own, that she believed his work was righteous.

Eru had, by request, many ages ago, set down rules regarding the marraige of elves, but had in no way proscribed reproduction for the widowed or unwed.

His premise brought great controversy to Harnic High Elven culture. Many still do not believe him; but his proof is that he remains a Paladin: he acts as Eru wills.

Elves dying out instead of having children is a tragic side effect of culturally warped dogma. Eru is in favor of half elves and high men. If the histories weren't enough evidence, they also, by divine word, are part of the plan, and harmony between the children is pleasing to the most high.

Thalion likes to joke that he is a judgement on traditionalist elves. When Numenor turned to Evil, Eru sent the wave. When Elves turned to isolation, snobbishly fading away while cherishing their eldritch sorrows, Eru sent Thalion.

With a number of children absolutely unprecedented in the histories, only occasionally enabled by fertility magic, it is a surprisingly apt comparison.

All three sets of twins were raised in the Church of Eru. Elurion and Elurond consider themselves holy engineers, though they do not cast clerical spells. Tired of the scorn of traditionalists like the Emperor, today their mother works with the Rainbow Barbarians, spreading a gentling cultural influence. She volunteered to be part of the program placing clerics and rangers with the tribes.

Both of the twins work for the Field Engineering Corps. Usually they can be found in their workshop in Vieburg, often working with their cousin Lord Vie.

Amulet of Power

As written in Encyclopedia Magica vol. 1, p. 38 As taken from Dragon Magazine 5 Usable by all spellcasters, this object serves to periodically boost latent magical energy. One day each week, the number of spells (of each level) the caster may perform, and the range, duration, and power (dice, area, number affected, etc.) of those spells, is increased by 50%. An enchanter could, for example, do 6-4-3-1 spells on one day a week, rather than the usual 4-3-2- l. (Always round fractions down.) Due to the increase in spell capabilities, the target's saving throw is aug-mented by +3. Upon acquiring the amulet of power, a new user must wear it for 30 consecutive days before it melds properly to his or her mental capacities. After that period, the amulet becomes fully functional. Any attempts to make use of the power boost before the 30-day period is completed are all in vain.

Alchemy Jug

This magical device can pour forth various liquids upon command. The quantity of each liquid is dependent upon the liquid itself. The jug can pour only one kind of liquid on any given day, seven pourings maximum. The liquids pourable and quantity per pouring are: Salt water 16 gallons Fresh water 8 gallons

Beer 4 gallons Vinegar 2 gallons Wine 1 gallon Ammonia 1 quart Oil 1 quart Aqua regia 2 gills (8 oz.) Alcohol 1 gil (4 oz.) Chlorine 8 drams (1 oz.) Cyanide 4 drams (1⁄2 oz.) The jug will pour forth two gallons per round, so it will require eight rounds to complete a pouring of salt water. Copyright 1999 TSR, Inc.

Ring of Spell Storing

A ring of spell storing contains 1d4+1 spells which the wearer can employ as if he were a spellcaster of the level required to use the stored spells. The class of spells contained within the ring is determined in the same fashion as the spells on scrolls (see “Scrolls''). The level of each spell is determined by rolling 1d6 (for priests) or 1d8 (for wizards). The number rolled is the level of the spell, as follows: Priest: 1d6, if 6 is rolled, roll 1d4 instead. Wizard: 1d8, if 8 is rolled, roll 1d6 instead. Which spell type of any given level is contained by the ring is also randomly determined. The ring empathically imparts to the wearer the names of its spells. Once spell class, level, and type are determined, the properties of the ring are fixed and unchangeable. Once a spell is cast from the ring, it can be restored only by a character of appropriate class and level of experience (i.e., a 12th-level wizard is needed to restore a 6th-level magical spell to the ring). Stored spells have a casting time of five. Copyright 1999 TSR, Inc.
