High Priest Fereroaz

The religious leader of Balbor, the High Priest is the most powerful and influential person in the region. Fereroaz was the high priest for the majority of the Chronicles of Tallin, before being dispatched and replaced by Skera-Kina.
== First Appearance ==
Kathir's Redemption
== Description ==
Fereroaz is very old and frail-looking. He used to be tall, but age has given him a pronounced stoop. His skin has deep wrinkles and his eyes are a piercing blue. At first glance, he appears to have dark skin, but in fact, his body is extensively covered with dark warding tattoos.
== The High Priest's Chambers ==
As a protective measure against assassination attempts, the inner chambers of the high priest is guarded by tiles that have dozens of imprisoned spirits within them. The spirits are compelled to protect the high priest from harm. Any magic used in these chambers will set them off and they will attack whoever cast the spell. These spirits are set free by Tallin when he is taken to the chambers.
== History ==
Fereroaz inherited his rank lineally, starting with his great-grandfather, Civodous. He is not mageborn. When Tallin witnesses the extensive use of spirit magic, which is widely-regarded as abominable and immoral, he assumes the high priest is unaware of the implications of using this kind of magic.
Along with using the various dark spells already built into his chambers, Fereroaz has been involved in a number of dark plots and dealings. Under his rule, slavery has flourished and he was worked with slavers like Druknor Theoric. Bloodmasters, who are obligated via enchantment to protect and never harm him, are also placed under his employ. He also had plotted to bring dragons back to Balbor, which was a violation of the treaty between Balbor and Brighthollow. This violation is the reason the queen of the elves has him executed.
== Death ==
Fereroaz is killed by Skera-Kina on Queen Xiiltharra's orders. Ordinarily, Skera-Kina would be unable to do so, thanks to the enchantments placed on her as a Bloodmaster, but the elven queen circumvents this limitation by giving her a shadowkey, which she uses as the killing weapon. The shadowkey is then fused to Skera-Kina's body to hold off the painful consequences of killing the high priest and disobeying the spell. Fereroaz is succeeded by Skera-Kina.
