Vordevor

Veslandic playwright circa 685-750. He is known mostly for his Zingari Trilogy, all tragedies. All share the same climactic ending, the battle of Tulada 661.
"Asselandro's Charge" tells the story about a young man from Anistar. The city has subjugated herself to the Iluvar, paying a hefty annual tribute. This cowardice revolts Asselandro, and hearing of the Salaqi-led campaign against Ghorghis, he manages to muster his own small army, which he then daringly and skillfully leads succesfully through the perilous Brossis, hoping to add his forces to that of the alliance. Alas, he and his weary troops arrive one day too late, the alliance has been crushed, and the ultimate target of their crusade, Ghorghis, is dead. The morale plummets, his army disintegrates. Finally, abandoned by his men, Asselandro dies from hunger as his pride forbids him begging for food from his enemy, the nomads.
"Kell the Demon" is about a young man who enters into a pact with the Devil, making him invincible. He wrecks havoc, enjoying his powers, but has a nemesis, the knight Troy (based on historical Troilus Revar, former Red Dragon). The two face off in a battle within the battle of Tulada. The two being extremely well matched, the fight draws out for a long time, enabling them to share an extensive dialogue. Troy has sworn not to kill anymore, and thus he should stand no chance. Despite these odds, Troy manages to convince Kell that his soul is doomed, and the only way to escape endless torment is to commit a ritual suicide and then to be reborn for a chance to be redeemed. And so Kell kills himself. Later, Troy is captured by Ghorghis' lame brother, Drago. Here Troy admits that he was not very chivalrous, for he made up the idea of rebirth. Drago lets Troy go free, and in the final scene Troy is both beseeched for help and cursed by Kell, now a desperate voice from Hell.
By far the most famous work is the conclusion of the trilogy, and though the trilogy is occasionally played in its entirety, typically only the last play is performed. Today it remains a well-known classic, during the Time of Kings, however, this was the most performed show bar none.
"Iktemar and Yondemar" is about how Iktemar's admiration and devotion to Yondemar eventually results in Yondemar's death. Iktemar, a brilliant leader and strategist, lacks the ability to control his elder brother. It is Yondemar's impatience that alienates the allies, making Kartria merely a contributor to, not in control of, what is now a Salaqi campaign. On the day of the battle Iktemar cannot find the mental strength to stop Yondemar from taking on Ghorghis single-handedly.
