Elothar Warrior of Bladereach (3.5e Prestige Class)
Elothar Warrior of Bladereach
| “ | My name is Elothar. Your name is unimportant, for you shall soon be dead. | ” |
The city of Bladereach sits at the mouth of the Typhon River that flows from the Bane Mires into Ferrin's Bay. The elves of Celentian's caravan come every year to trade with the largely human inhabitants of Bladereach and sometimes they leave more than the wares of the Black Orchard Hills when they leave. The results of these dalliances find that they never fit in amongst the people of Bladereach, and are taught the hard secrets of battle that the children of Bladereach have to offer. Often, these half-elven warriors turn to adventuring.
