Count Solarfear: DM Notes

Count Solarfear believes he can rework the Fem Tamas (*soft daylight*) rune so that he might again be able to walk in the daylight. The Soft Daylight Rune is held and protected by the Archive.

Count Solarfear is looking to use the king’s war to rebel and gain more land for himself.

He and Duke Illias have decided the time to say “No” to King Renard is almost at hand. They won’t be part taking in his upcomming war. (At this stage Count Solarfear will offer Jasper and a select force. Two platoons from each company. They are to steal the flying ship they are on. Scheduled to be one of the Four operational Battle ships).

*Count Solarfear has promised to turn Duke Illias into a Vampire. Duke Illias is already old but enjoys ruling too much and doesn’t want to give it up because of his age. Before he was approached by Count Solarfear (via Bianca) Duke Illias was about to pass his Duchy to his heir. A great granddaughter. He negotiated vampirism for her as well. He will not leave the Illias house without a good leader. Duke Illias' elven soldiers are the best in the south, and now due to marriages he as alliances all over the kingdom, ones he is already manipulating.*

Note:   The magic book with a conspiracy belongs to an agent and his handler, both of whom serve Count Solarfear.

***Castle Solarfear*** is currently under construction and almost finished, the tail end of a 90 year build. Soon Count Solarfear will move into it

### The Spawn of Count Solarfear:

Around 250yrs ago Count Solarfear fell in love with a beautiful human woman, remembered by those vampires alive at the time as Queen Solarfear. She gave him two boys and a girl.

Kaleral: The eldest of the boys grew into a power wizard whose nature power turned him into one of the most destructive forces in the continent. Kaleral was eventually killed by the militant arm of zepris. Memory of Kaleral and his evil magics have been locked away by The Archive.

Kassius: The middle child, more peaceful by nature and the only one of Count Solarfear's Dampire children to still be alive to this day.

Isabella: An energetic and fun loving child... she was killed at the age of 6 by a vampire newly turned by Count Solarfear unable to control herself.

Count Solarfear did not recover from the loss of his love, his first and only wife, who left him after the death of Isabella. Queen Solarfear was unable to stay with her husband after being awakened to his monstrous side. She eventually took her own life when she learnt of what her eldest Kaleral was doing and the countless people he had killed trying to achieve immortality.
