Dilern Lousseaghymn

## Stats

**Dilern Lousseaghymn** is an eladrin druid and mercenary currently in the employ of Cedric Goodfellow.

## **Character Description**

### **Appearance**

Dilern Lousseaghymn is a winter eladrin, and bears the same ice-blue eyes, pale blue skin and hibernal countenance as others of his kind. His eyes have a permanent, wintry gleam, like chips of ice, and his haughty features and considerable stature (standing at 6' 4'') make him an intimidating presence in any room.

He wears a fey-spun tunic over leather armour, and is never seen without his druidic focus: a glimmerwood staff topped with a shard of unmeltable ice.

### **Personality**

Like many eladrin in their winter state, Dilern projects an aura of glacial melancholy that chills the air around him. Masking his bitterness behind a mask of indifference, Dilern is an opportunist to the core, loyal to himself first and foremost: a trait that comes in handy when pursuing mercenary work. He is loathe to put his own life in danger, preferring to harry enemies from the sidelines rather than fight in close quarters.

It was this icy personality that got him exiled from his colony in the Feywild, but that exile did little to shake him from his principles. Dilern believes that pragmatism, realism and self-control can help to build a more dynamic and free-thinking society, and hopes that - once he has righted the wrongs enacted against him - he can introduce his philosophy into his colony and reclaim his place beside his fellow eladrin.

## **Biography**

### **Pre-Campaign**

Little is known about Dilern's life, save for the fact that he was born in the mystical realm of the Feywild, like his eladrin brethren. Unlike others, who could change their seasonal state with ease, Dilern is firmly entrenched in his winter form, a fact that caused friction amongst his colony and eventually resulted in his exile. Since his exile, Dilern has been pursuing mercenary work, hoping that one day he can gain enough money to strike out alone and return to the Feywild to exact his revenge upon those who wronged him.

### **Correnwald**

In the town of Stonecross, he met a group of fellow sellswords: Arashi Fulgar, John and Malaxus, and chose to drink with them at their table. The four were approached by knight-hopeful Cedric Goodfellow, an emissary from the Church of Helion in Kallantium, who hired them as an escort to the swamp town of Correnwald on an undisclosed clerical mission. On the way to the town, Dilern and the party were ambushed by goblins from the nearby Needlefang Cave. After fighting off the initial attack, the group ventured into the cave, eradicated the goblin scourge and freed the prisoners within, discovering an incriminating letter from a high-ranking Correnwald official, Luther Maldrud, in the chief's hoard.

In Correnwald, the party explored the town, unearthing the shady deals made between the Lord's Lodge and the Needlefang goblin tribe, before resuming Cedric's initial mission: to seek out Father Anselm and fulfil a quest for him: find his missing curate, Symon Vicario. Venturing into the Hellmire in search of Vicario, the group were set upon by undead in the town's sunken mausoleum. Dilern fired arrows and *ice knives* from the sidelines, refusing to put his neck on the line for Cedric's struggling squire, Septimus Krane. Luckily, the group defeated the undead, and learned that the bloated zombie in the mire was in fact Vicario, mysteriously reanimated by an unknown, supernatural force.
