![[ZephyrosPic.png]] # Zephyros _Cloud Giant Wizard | [[Stewards of the Eternal Throne]] | Unknown Location_ ## Summary An eccentric and powerful cloud giant wizard on a quest to restore the shattered [[Ordning]]. His obsessive use of *contact other plane* spells seeking solutions has irreparably damaged his sanity. A member of the [[Stewards of the Eternal Throne]] alongside Queen [[Neri]], he believes giants must embrace stewardship over domination to regain [[Annam]]'s favor. His floating castle was destroyed by blue dragons shortly after delivering heroes to [[Thundertree]]. He managed an emergency teleportation with [[Karthus]] at the last moment—current whereabouts unknown. %% ## At a Glance Towering cloud giant with wild white hair and beard that seem to float as if caught in an ethereal wind. Billowing purple robe adorned with constellations that subtly shift and dance across the fabric. Piercing blue eyes with a distant look. Speaks in dreamy, distracted manner, often trailing off mid-sentence or abruptly changing topics. Frequently gazes into distance as if seeing invisible things, then snaps back with a start. Brilliant but unstable, helpful yet paranoid, philosophically inclined but easily distracted. ## Personality Once a respected wizard among cloud giants. Formed close friendship with Queen Neri and together joined the Stewards—a secret order dedicated to atoning for giants' past failures toward smaller races. When the ordning shattered, he began obsessively using *contact other plane* spells to find a solution, irreparably damaging his sanity. Cosmic truths fractured his mind but granted prophetic insights about heroes who could restore order. **Prophetic Visions:** Sees two groups of heroes restoring the ordning—the party is one group. **Hidden Storm Identity:** Doesn't realize the "Hidden Storm" hunting him is actually [[Iymrith]]. His castle was attacked and destroyed by three blue dragons—Iymrith, [[Chezzaran]], and [[Anaxaster]]. Recently rescued the party and dozens of slaves from [[Giltvein]] after Abbathor's earthquake. ## Quote _"The whispers between planes speak of heroes... or was it zeroes? No matter!
