# Vaeryth Briarfell _Eladrin Bladesinger | [[Sharandar]]_ ## Summary A fervent elven bladesinger and follower of [[Thorne Silverstar]] who immediately challenged [[Eldraki Drazhan|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 Restorationist movement's most extreme beliefs. %% ## At a Glance A lithe eladrin warrior who moves with predatory grace. Copper-gold hair wreathed with dancing motes of summer light. Elegant green and gold armor bears flowering vines that seem to twist with his blade dance. 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."_ ## Background Born in the [[Feywild]] after the retreat from Iliyanbruen—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 through eternal summer. 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. Now serves as Thorne's most passionate disciple, secretly gathering younger extremists who find even Thorne too moderate. ## Stats **Gladiator** (MM 346) with Bladesong (AC bonus, concentration saves), Fey Ancestry, and basic wizard cantrips. %%
