Aethelgard

An elderly male human with deep black skin, Zarathos wears flowing robes of vibrant yellow adorned with intricate symbols representing his cults. His hair is long and white, cascading down his back, and his piercing golden eyes seem to hold the weight of centuries. He carries a staff topped with a glowing yellow crystal, a symbol of his mastery over sand magic.

Zarathos is wise and enigmatic, often speaking in riddles and metaphors. He is fiercely protective of his knowledge and will go to great lengths to achieve his goals. His demeanor is calm and collected, but there is an underlying intensity that reveals his relentless pursuit of power. He is respected and feared by his followers, who see him as both a mentor and a master of the arcane.

Zarathos, the Grand Master of the Yellow Mages, has dedicated his life to the pursuit of ancient knowledge and the mastery of sand magic. Rumored to be older than any current human in Aethelgard, he has spent centuries honing his craft in the Sand Tower, where he conducts experiments to control the formidable sandworms. His ultimate goal is to empower the army of Sunstone, making them invincible through the harnessing of these creatures. Despite his age, his mind remains sharp, and his ambition knows no bounds.
