![[VaerythBriarfellPathfinder.webp]] # Vaeryth Briarfell _Eladrin Bladesinger | [[Restorationists]] | [[Sharandar]]_ ## Summary A fervent elven bladesinger and follower of [[Thorne Silverstar]] who challenged [[Eldraki|Eldraki]] over his elven Bracers of Archery, demanding to know how a non-elf had acquired such sacred items. His open xenophobic hostility toward the party reflects the [[Restorationists]]' most extreme beliefs. %% ## Now _placeholder_ ## Appearance A lithe eladrin who moves with predatory grace, copper-gold hair wreathed with dancing motes of summer light. His green and gold armor bears flowering vines, and his amber eyes burn with barely contained intensity. ## Personality Zealously devoted to elven supremacy, aggressive and prideful, intoxicated by his own martial prowess. Compares everything to aspects of summer — storms, lightning, poisonous flowers. Believes even [[Thorne Silverstar]] is too moderate. ## Quote _"Our dance is beautiful because it is lethal—like a blooming oleander, like summer lightning."_ ## Connections **[[Thorne Silverstar]]** — mentor; Vaeryth considers him too moderate. **[[Eldraki|Eldraki Drazhan]]** — challenged him over his elven Bracers of Archery. ## Background **The Summer Court:** Born in the [[Feywild]] after the retreat from Iliyanbruen, he never knew the Material Plane until recently. Raised on stories of their lost homeland while training in the Summer Court, where he earned renown hunting Dark Fey. **The Return:** When the [[Sharandar]] elves returned to the Material Plane, he was horrified by what he found. In [[Thorne Silverstar]] he found a mentor who shared his disgust. **The Extremist:** Now Thorne's most passionate disciple, secretly gathering younger extremists who find even Thorne too moderate. ## Stats **Base:** Gladiator (MM p.346), modified. - Bladesong: AC bonus, concentration saves. - Fey Ancestry and basic wizard cantrips. %%
