Mellendir Sa'fet

Mellendir Sa'fet was an outlaw bard in the late Age of Telvimbror.
==The Bard War (2050-2051 AoT)==
Mellendir was first contracted by the city of Lellemar to hunt down the leader of a free-speech resistance movement known as Adam Bell. Instead, the two became friends and wandering musicians, much to the frustration of Lord Marshal Herbert Goodman. When Adam was captured by the Iludin, Mellendir sneaked into the Iludin base to rescue him, assassinating Sir Goodman on the way, unwittingly setting the stage for his resurrection as a death knight.
For the next year, Mellendir was hunted by the Iludin, gaining a rival in Lord Marshal Steven Augustus. They clashed multiple times, each time Mellendir prevailing due to his acrobatic fighting style. As loyalties shifted and the conflict became ever more complex, Mellendir found himself allied with Thomas Whitethorn and Anna Frosch. In time, Lady Denise Goodman succeeded where Lord Steven had failed, beating Mellendir. Though she sought his head for the murder of her father, Mellendir's bardic charm was too much for her, and she was enthralled. Together, they set out to end the conflict, regardless of how many died along the way.
In a heated battle on the edge of the woods, they fought back-to-back, and with a reverse thrust, Mellendir accidentally gored Denise with his saber. This drove him to desperate madness, and he sought out the undead Sir Goodman in vengeance for the curse he had laid on him with his dying breaths. This was foolhardy, however, as his quick and lethal strikes did not slow a man who was already dead. Mellendir was tormented and slain. As his tale spread, the place of his death became known as Mellendir's Forest.
