Saelis Aunglor

Elder twin brother to Delwa Aunglor, Saelis is a priest of Shevarash, the elven god of revenge, loss, and hatred of the Drow.
In his early years, Saelis was a Captain of the guard in the city of Tangled Trees, located in what was once the elven kingdom of Cormanthyr.
Saelis proved himself time and again as captain, and eventually began leading raids against the beasts of Cormanthor forest, and against the monsters that plagued the region around the lost City of Song, Myth Drannor.

It was Saelis that discovered his brother's long-thought-dead wife, Lady Shawna still lived, and Saelis who orchestrated her freedom from the grip of a sorcerer and helped reunite her with her husband, Delwa.
At one point, Saelis Aunglor was the heir to the Aunglor Moonblade. His untimely death in 1385 DR passed the family blade along to his sister-in-law, Shawna Aunglor. Lady Shawna claimed the blade after Saelis' passing, and wields it as of 1490 DR.
Saelis was restored to life by unknown forces, and now serves as a Harper agent, as do most of the Aunglor family.

Saelis has a grim demeanor, and though he serves the Harpers loyally, relations between him, Blackstaff Tower, and many other well-known High Harpers, are tense. He serves the cause of the Harpers because he believes in their cause, but has frequently questioned their methods, sometimes quite boldly.

Delwa Aunglor

Who am I? I am Or'Tel'Quessir. To some, I am known as the Adventuring Scribe from Candlekeep. To others, I am simply Delwa of Tangled Trees, an elf from the kingdom of Cormanthyr reborn. Among The People, my name is Delwa Aunglor, Secondborn of my House, and heir to the family name, and that is what I'm called by those who count me friend. To the others of my people, the less amiable, I am the forsaken heir to the once-lost House Aunglor Moonblade, and I am neither worthy of my title or position. To me, it is no matter. My wife, Lady Shawna, Armathor of Myth Drannor, wields the family blade with skill, and it is no shame to me or my House that her father was a Drow. She bears her mother's elven heritage with more dignity and honor than many of purer blood. My history is as shaded as my shadow-infused soul, and my story is not one often lauded by Lathander's priests. Life has made me a creature of Shadow, a Shade, and despite that curse, I use it to make the evil members of my wife's mixed blood fear the shadows all around them. I'm sure Shevarash smiles to see it. I've been a friend to some, a foe to others. To one Dwarf-become-deity I was a faithful companion, and I do homage to Frawd's name often. To Those Who Harp, I am a friend and ally, though those who wear the silver moon and harp are now a shadow of their predecessors. I have survived the death and rebirth of magic. I've traveled the planes and worlds beyond Toril, and even sparred with a goddess as old as this world can remember. I am Delwa, and I am Tel'Quessir.

Delwa is a Wood Elf Shade. He began as a PC in a Campaign a friend of mine ran, and eventually I retired the Character as a NPC for my home game.
Delwa retired from a life of Adventure shortly after the Spellplague in 1385 DR, and made his way to the library fortress of Candlekeep. He studied there for a short time, before undertaking a personal quest to search for tomes of knowledge to turn over to Candlekeep's care.
He also serves the Harpers as an informant, providing intelligence where needed, and occasionally striking a blow in the secret organizations name.
He has a twin brother, Saelis, who serves as a priest of Shevarash, the elven god of revenge.

A Beginning to My World

It's always fun to browse through old campaign notes. I was just organizing my files and came across the sheet of notebook paper I made my first Dungeon on. That dungeon blossomed into a five-year campaign that changed the shape of the Realms for my home games. My current campaign takes place in 1490 DR, but the last one ended in the Year of Blue Fire (1385) and the events of that campaign have shaped the world as follows:

•  Melvaunt became a ghost town after a plague of undeath hit the city. It was alleged that the Zhents had released the plague, but it was never confirmed. 
•  Zhentil Keep was destroyed by the City of Shade, in 1383 as in canon, but with the aid of a Death Knight's army, hailing from the ruins of Melvaunt and carrying Phlan's banner. 
• Cormyr suffered a major coup lasting about a year later in late 1384/early 1385 DR after the same Death Knight leading an undead army ravished the nation, sending the crown into exile. The nation was eventually restored, but the how is to be determined by a future campaign. 
• Myth Drannor was next on that Death Knight's list, and the villain did manage to establish a foothold in the ruins of the City of Song, but thanks to a PC named Shawna Aunglor, who wielded the long lost Aunglor Moonblade, the elven armies rallied and drove the Death Knight back to Cormyr. The City is now rebuilding after the recent events mentioned in Ed Greenwood's Sundering novel, The Herald. Shawna Aunglor holds a position on the Ruling Council of Myth Drannor, and serves as an ambassador for the Coronal.
• The City of Westgate suffered a calamity in mid 1385 DR when an explosion rocked the sewers, causing many parts of the city to collapse. By current date (1490) all is back to normal, but explosives are banned in the city. 
• The City of Elversult was taken over in 1385 DR by an army of Devils led by the Mephistopheles, and then laid siege to by an army of demons led by Orcus, the Demon Prince of Undeath. Both armies were soundly defeated by an army of celestials, but the details of the engagement are only known to Elminster, and a select few High Harpers. 
• Frawd, a mortal dwarven cleric of Talos ascended to Godhood in 1385 DR after defeating Velsharoon on the deities' former home plane. His following was small, but tensions between him and Talos remained strong. Some rumor that Talos tried to consume Frawd after the Dwarf defeated Velsharoon and ascended, causing the two deities to not look fondly upon each other. In any event, Frawd set aside his godhood of his own accord shortly after Spring Equinox in 1490 DR and is rumored to be wandering the Realms.

The purpose of this blog is to serve as a public chronicle of sorts. In it, I will record Current Clack, NPC Profiles, articles on Kingdoms and Realms that pertain to my Realms, and notes on how my world differs from the published world. Due to the nature of my current campaign, notes may be sparse at first.
