**Vulcan Schorchblood**, also self identified as **Vulcan Scorchblood the Tenth Son of Malkazar the Undying**, is a pixie from the Feywild. Vulcan Scorchblood has rejected the rule of the god Corellon, describing him as "Dad," on the basis that the god doesn't understand him. During the events of Dance of the Jester, Vulcan joined The Wildparty while in Harrowhame and became involved with Harvey Yaldaboth.

## History

Vulcan Scorchblood's early history is largely unknown, however at some point he seems to have decided that the god Corellon did not understand him and that he would be better understood in the ranks of Lolth's worshippers. At some point he traveled through the Pool of Temptations during his travels, allowing the will-o'-wisps there to copy his appearance and personality. He initially traveled to Cendrianne where he gave a note with a "V" written in fake blood on it to a satyr at Shandakul's Throne and told him to give it to any individual who "wanted to throw off the shackles of society or just looked really edgy." Vulcan then traveled to House Orangyl to find fellow Lolth-worshippers. He was eventually unable to find them, however, and left behind a letter and various magic items to find him with. He then made his way to Harrowhame, where he ended up staying in the Palace of Amairiv.

## The Dance of the Jester

The Wildparty initially encounter "Vulcan Scorchblood" in the Pool of Temptation, where the will-o'-wisps impersonated him to lure Harvey away fromt he path. While initially taken in by the misery displayed by the illusion, he eventually saw through the magic and moved on, vowing to find the real Vulcan Scorchblood later.
Shortly after arriving in Cendrianne, Harvey was approached by the satyr Vulcan had left his note with. Reading the note, Harvey decided to follow it and seek out the pixie while searching for weapons against Erevan, the Fey Jester in House Orangyl. The note instructed the Upon exploring House Orangyl, Harvey finds another letter from Vulcan saying he moved on to Harrowhame, along with the magic items Vulcan left behind.
After escaping the Spire of Encyclic within Harrowhame, The Wildparty (without Kinsley and EA) teleport to the Palace of Amairiv and encounter Vulcan directly. Vulcan became interested in The Rook Maiden as described by Harvey and started traveling with the group, guiding them past some of the spiders he has learned to move around. However, Vulcan refuses to go into the shrine to Corellon or interact with any creatures within it. Vulcan once again guides The Wildparty past the dangerous spiders in their trek to Sarcoma Keep, waiting outside until he led the party back to Corellon's shrine. After they rested, they left Harrowhame with Harvey hiding Vulcan in his bag as Vulcan did not want to be seen by anyone connected to the Summer Court.
Vulcan hides in Harvey's bag until Harvey is brought to an individual named Scourshade who can connect him with the Rook Maiden. Vulcan chimes up at this and says he wants to meet her too, the experience of which is too much for him and knocks him out cold. Scourshade states he will watch Vulcan for Harvey and Harvey continues on his way.
Vulcan's final appearance is within Harvey's room within The Jester's Court. There, Vulcan aids the Rook Maiden in attacking the Wildparty. In this Vulcan fights with Shnowdy and Pom and eventually stabs Shnowdy in the eye, blinding him and forcing him to switch his eyepatch to the injured eye. Shnowdy retaliates by punching Vulcan into the ground, knocking him out. Given the nature of The Jester's Court, it is unclear if this was the true Vulcan or an illusion created by Erevan.
