Opal King

## The Opal King

The eternal king of Theirhome.

The **Opal King** is an Eldest scion of Ourselves and the first and only king of Theirhome in Elegy. He is the immortal king of all vestren, aswell as being a lesser god amongst them. His portfolio includes vestren civilization, royalty, and exodus. The Opal King was originally created alongside his brothers, Fateful Sword and Arcane Star, as a savior of the vestren to guide them to the holy lands of Theirhome, saving them from the encroaching lightscourge that had afflicted Firstrealm. He was carefully designed by Ourselves to be the perfect ruler and representative of all vestren, embodying their ideals and their culture. His symbol is that of a crown encrusted with an elegaic opal, a holy gemstone for which he takes his namesake from.

## Description

The Opal King appears as a tall, male vestren with skin the color of an elegaic opal, a unique color of vestren skin tone that denotes both his royalty and divinity. He notably has facial scarring, due to an altercation he had early in his life with a scourgebeast that he defeated. The Opal King always wears his crown and his royal set of theirstone armor, beautifully decorated with vestren holy symbols. Due to his position as Ourselves' scion, he is immortal, despite taking on the appearance and biology of a mortal vestren.

## Personality

The Opal King is a fair, but sometimes harsh ruler who genuinely wants what is best for his people. When he first appeared in Elegy to lead the vestren to Theirhome, he demonstrated his leadership skills and bravery by killing a scourgebeast and using its light as a beacon to call as vestren to his foot. The Opal King has a kind heart, but is stern with his commands as to not seem a faulty ruler. He stands tall with good posture and exudes a regal aura. He takes his time to be thorough with his legislation and generally keeps away from the public eye, using the Church of Ourselves and the pontiff of Opalsky to convey his messages.

## Abilities

The Opal King is the greatest of Ourselves' scions and has the most of his power within him, compared to his siblings. He is able to easily outdo scourgebeasts and the mortal aberrations of Elegy in combat, and is blessed with immortal life to rule over Theirhome forever. He is able to turn water into thin layers of elegaic opal, which is how he allowed the vestren to cross the Old Sea when they first made their exodus to Theirhome. He provides his clerics with spells and makes small miracles happen around Opalsky, such as making dead crops revive or healing the injuries of the harmed. Of course, he is also the acting king of Theirhome and creates the just laws for the entire region.

## Realm & Possessions

Being a scion, the Opal King does not have the power needed to claim his own realm. Unlike his siblings, he does not reside in Beyond the Stars' Reach, the realm of Ourselves, but remains in the Opal Palace in Opalsky, Theirhome.

He wields no weapons, but possess the Eye of Opalsky, which is the large elegaic opal encrusted on his crown.

## Activities

When he first arrived in Elegy, the Opal King, alongside Fateful Sword and Arcane Star, led the vestren away from the compromised city of Oldhome and led them to Theirhome where they could flourish. After this, he helped the vestren establish a kingdom and great cities in Theirhome, teaching them how to be leaders and how to rule over nations. He currently acts as the king of Theirhome, ruling from the Opal Palace and granting spells and miracles to his followers, despite no longer making public appearances.

## Relationships

The Opal King is an isolationist, staying away from dealings with the beholders and illithids, but he does allow some sea trade with the drow of Overspace. He is the scion of Ourselves, often referred to as their "son," and his siblings consist of Fateful Sword, Arcane Star, Fair Maiden, Towering Craft, and Ample Reaper. The Opal King does not interact with other scions and is not considered important enough to be aware of the agendas between the other inheritors of the Eldest.
