The Underdark

A male drow cleric with obsidian skin and silvery hair bound in intricate braids. He wears finely-wrought adamantine armor that dulls light and sound, adorned with dusky crimson ceremonial tattoos and runes. His piercing violet eyes reflect a sharp intelligence and a hint of mischief.

Cunning, charismatic, and pragmatic, Zael'ir is a master of manipulation and deception, always calculating his next move in the intricate game of power.

Zael'ir operates within the shifting power dynamics of N'Zarath. To the faithful of Vhaeraun, he is a shepherd of the disenfranchised drow males seeking power in a society where Lolth’s priestesses rule with an iron grip. In the dimly lit underbelly of the city, he leads secret congregations where masked followers swear oaths of independence and vengeance, honing their skills in deception, assassination, and subterfuge. Under his guidance, these dissidents strike at the influence of Lolth, unraveling her hold in slow, patient acts of defiance. In the shadows, he is a specter of insurrection, wielding divine magic and the art of deception in equal measure. Despite his devotion to Vhaeraun, he is no idealist. He understands that power is never given it is taken. And in the grand, ever-shifting dance of N'Zarath’s power struggles, he intends to carve out a throne of his own, one masked shadow at a time.
