Wulfric Silvertongue

Wulfric Silvertongue was a player character in Campaign One, a member of the Daybreakers, and the founder of the Silvertongue Guild.

## Early Life

Wulfric Silvertongue was born Vilri in a Bankharan brothel. His mother was a prostitute, and his father, presumably, a sailor, although they would never meet. Raised by prosititutes, and living amongst the destitute and lower-class of Bankhara, Vilri was immersed in the criminal underworld since his ignoble birth. He survived as a street rat and petty thief. At the age of 10, Vilri killed his first man in a street fight over 13 silver coins.

As he grew into young adulthood, Vilri became established as a recognizable name in the Bankharan underworld. He began committing assassinations for coin.

## Guild of Assassins

Vilri was dubbed 'Wulfric Silvertongue' in the underworld, for his wit and composure. His reputation as a hired killer grew, and Wulfric began attracting other killers-for-hire. He formally established the Assassin's Guild and wrote the first Assassin's Code. During his time as Guildmaster, he trained his apprentice, Murder-And-Receive-Coin.

## Going Rogue

Wulfric Silvertongue was discretely hired by the Moon King to assassinate his own wife, Queen Helenah Bosphera Casmiri, as she had begun secretly funnelling royal assets towards rebel efforts. Wulfric infiltrated the Lunar Palace and made his way to the bedroom of Queen Casmiri, but in a moment of empathy, he instead escaped the palace with Helenah.

Wulfric, having renounced his position as Guildmaster, travelled with Helenah for several years, always on the knife's edge of capture by the Moon King's forces. The two fell in love, and conceived a child-- the only heir to Casmir's throne. Also pursuing the two was Wulfric's former apprentice, Murder-And-Receive-Coin, who had inherited the title of Guildmaster and was code-bound to assassinate Wulfric for his desertion.

## Death

Wulfric and Helenah travelled to the long-besieged city of Hobb only days before a full-scale assault from the Moon King's remaining army and his Siege Castle, marshalled by the Javarran Archmage Raven. Accompanying the Archmage was Murder-And-Recieve-Coin, who had been modified in startling ways by Javarran Magic.

Murder-And-Recieve-Coin finally caught up to Wulfric and Helenah outside of Hobb. Helenah was in the process of giving birth to their child, Adrasteia Casmiri (delivered by Aoife, ward of the Hobbish King Boulderstride and godchild of Keldoon). Wulfric was slain by his former apprentice, and Helenah died in childbirth, leaving Aoife to flee with their child.

## Revival

Nearly one hundred years later, Wulfric Silvertongue woke in a moonlit clearing, with no memory of his former life. Alongside him were his wife Helenah and his daughter Adrasteia, though they did not remember each other. Also present were Mills Boulderstride, Raven, and Aoife.

The amnesiac six were informed by the witch Tabitha Ettergrave that they had been magically resurrected in order to end the reign of the Moon King. After observing the apocalyptic desolation of the Moon Kingdom, the six agreed to their task, although they were still severely weakened and without their memories.

## The Daybreakers

The Daybreakers, as the six would later become known, began by travelling to the ruins of Keldoon, where they defeated the shade of Hate Knight Illustrex and recovered the first fragment of the Moon King's power. They subsequently travelled to each of the five cities of the Moon Kingdom, defeating the Moon King's lieutenants, recovered portions of his power, and regaining their own strength and memories.

In Bankhara, Wulfric fought and slew the now-monstrous Murder-And-Recieve-Coin, and reclaimed his position as Guildmaster of the Assassin's Guild. He instituted the Second Assassin's Code, and utilized the power of the assassins in the Daybreakers' efforts against the Moon King.

He also gradually recovered his memories of Helenah, and they reignited their love.

The Daybreaker's year-long campaign against the Moon King culminated in their siege of Casmir, aided by their assembled allies, including Tabitha Ettergrave, Azram the Magewright, Beedle the Scholar, Mona Redgrave and her Red Army, and MELCASROPHAZ the flame-spirit. The Daybreakers stormed the Lunar Palace, and, as the Intruder Moon began to descend onto Ygg, they defeated the Moon King. In an event known as Moonfall, the Intruder Moon shattered, ushering in Ygg's Ringed Age. The Daybreakers emerged from the rubble of Moonfall as saviors of the world.

## Later Life

After Moonfall, Wulfric stepped down from his position as Guildmaster, although he still operated as an agent of the Guild occasionally. He instead travelled across Ygg with Helenah. Being among the most famous figures in Ygg, Wulfric used his presence and influence to bring justice where he could-- he committed several high-profile assassinations in full view, extravagantly dressed and daring any to challenge him.

During his travels, he also discovered and trained an apprentice, a rebellious firebrand who was dubbed Black Rose Wilts. He intended her to become the new Guildmaster after the current master, the Mail Man, stepped down, and she would eventually fulfil this role.

Wulfric and Helenah maintain an estate in Queenstone, though they rarely stay there.
