Kâras Kâras was a drow divine seeker and priest of Vhaeraun and a member of the Hidden from Maerimydra . After Vhaeraun ' s death , he switched his allegiance to Eilistraee . He died while under her employment , but somehow revived at some point around the Second Sundering . He then resumed his position among the Hidden and among the followers of Vhaeraun . Description . Thin yet muscular , Karas ' left side of his face was badly scarred . Personality . Karas was a thoroughly evil individual while he venerated Vhaeraun and viewed others he worked alongside as merely handy pawns . He presented an amiable face when dealing with most people , all the while furthering his own plans . He was the owner of a strong mental that allowed him to conduct passive resistance . During his days as a member of the church of Eilistraee , he conducted passive resistance against eilistraeean sexist and elitist mind set . He refused to immediately pay deference to Cavatina Xarann , who clearly didn ' t respect him , and also peacefully broke the tradition of the Promenade of the Dark Maiden to bar their male followers from participating at the Evensong ritual , which resulted into change in that regard in the form top down enforcement . He did this without giving in to Cavatina and her surrounding priestesses ' mobbing , with the goal to mentally pressure him out nor to Cavatina ' s usage of actual military authority to force him away . Abilities . As a member of both the secretive Vhaeraunian cult and the Hidden in Maerimydra , Karas had cultivated a great deal of skill at remaining undetected , managing to dodge both Kurgoth Hellspawn ' s patrols and House T ' sarran ' s undead scouts . His abilities as a divine seeker of Vhaeraun granted him not only the ability to better resist hostile divine spells but also to magically " locate creature s " and " objects " . He could also thwart glyphs and wards and temporarily increase his abilities in stealth on a massive scale . This combination made him expertly capable of infiltrating even magically warded areas . Possessions . Karas typically wore a shirt of " elven chain " and a magical short sword . Whilst working among the Hidden in Maerimydra he wore a " ring of silent spells " that could mute a certain number of spells cast each day . History . Prior to the Silence of Lolth in 1372 DR , Karas was a member of a small Vhaeraunian cult in the city of Maerimydra . However , after Kurgoth Hellspawn ' s invasion and occupation of the city in Eleint 23 and the subsequent rise of Irae T ' sarran ' s Kiaransalee an cult on Eleint 28 , Karas joined a group of survivors called the Hidden , who were dedicated to restoring Maerimydra and driving out the invaders , though he considered their work to be suicidal and impossible to succeed . He eventually deserted the Hidden after taking treasure with him . Kâras later was one of the Vhaeraunian priests who , after 1375 DR , joined the Church of Eilistraee for its promise of power in the form of full access to spells including their strongest , something vhaeraunite clerics who didn ' t convert were deprived of . In 1376 DR , Kâras was tasked with the mission of killing Valdar Jaelre , another former priest of Vhaeraun who ' d taken refuge in Guallidurth . The background was , that the church of Eilistraee fabricated the truth about the nature of Vhaeraun ' s death for propaganda ' s sake and sought to silence those who knew the truth like Valdar . Kâras found Valdar but he convinced Kâras that in truth it was Vhaeraun who had killed Eilistraee and had planted a complex deception plot . At last , Kâras decided to spare Valdar for the moment . In 1377 DR , Kâras was accosted by the Darksong Knight Cavatina Xarann for his unorthodox way to conduct the High Hunt ritual . They were attacked by a crone of Kiaransalee , whom he had once killed during his days in Maerimydra , and who was detected by him via his magic before she could attack . The two managed to defeat the revenant monster and Kâras explained Cavatina about his experience in Maerimydra . Later , he was chosen to led the nightshadow force to scout the main temple of Kiaransalee alongside Cavatina , though she was less than pleased about having him to call him an equal , and thus their initial relationship was rocky . This mission suffered from sabotage at the hands from eilistraeean priestesses in that male clerics of Eilistraee weren ' t taught the password to reach the eilistraeean home base . In 1379 DR Kâras led an expedition to Llurth Dreir to investigate about Ghaunadaur ' s followers . Following the Qilué Veladorn ' s orders he together with Valdar Jaelre instigated the followers of Ghaunadaur to attack the Promenade . During the assault of the Ghaunadaur ' s followers Valdar explained to Kâras that his plan was manipulate Ghaunadaur in destroying all drow . Understanding he was insane Kâras managed to kill him but only sacrificing himself . In death finally Kâras understood that he had served Eilistraee . Kâras was later revived , and as the 1490s DR he was again a follower of Vhaeraun ( who had returned - - alongside the rest of the Dark Seldarine - - during the event known as the Sundering of Toril and Abeir ) . After his resurrection , Kâras was active in Maerimydra , again as a member of the Hidden , he once deserted .
