Salibar

Salibar ready for combat.

A tiefling paladin who was transported to Evergreen a few short years ago from another world.

### Appearance

A red-skinned tiefling with black hair. He has a magical tattoo of a quill on one of his arms. His other arm is a metal prosthetic. Salibar's spell focus is a book crafted using oak pages.

After the events of Session 07, Salibar's appearance became increasingly haggard and pale, indicating an undead aspect. After choosing to attach the Hand of Malediction to himself in Session 11, his left hand became the corpse-like hand of a lich. After a ritual and a dance with death in Session 13, the lich hand was removed, and Salibar returned to his usual appearance.

## History

Transported to Evergreen after a strange event in his own world. He has since been traveling and learning what he can.

### Notable Campaign Events

#### Session 07

During his recovery from the expedition for the Hand of Malediction, Salibar experienced a vision. There was a large iron gate, which he was marched through. When the gate closed, however, the gate remained ever so slightly ajar.

After returning to consciousness, Salibar realised that a piece of paper had appeared in his belongings which read, “I’ll be seeing you”. The note was written in a familiar hand and was signed with an “S”. Salibar gleaned that the paper had come from another material plane: the third material plane.

#### Session 08

Faced with almost certain death on the ocean’s floor, Salibar experienced a vision of a dead oak tree and heard a male voice, perhaps the voice of the tree, which said: “*You have pledged yourself. Now prove yourself. Come and find me*”. Some power teleported Salibar from the sea floor to the surface.

#### Session 09

At “The Jade Lyre,” Salibar was visited by members of the Order of the Eleventh Eye. They were seeking Salibar because of his direct contact with the Magus, revealing that the Magus had disappeared thirty years ago. The pair also revealed that the letter from “S” was written in his own hand.

Salibar also learned that he had become undead after a conversation with Van Helsing.

#### Session 10

During a conversation with Savos, the drow connected Salibar’s undead nature to the wraith of Malediction that the party fought in Grimordia. Salibar also discovered a hidden compartment in his backpack. In this he found a lead box containing the Hand of Malediction, the first of the Wickerman’s Tomes and the ring described by Titus Kiyth. He also found a note that read: “*I was hoping you would find this later. Keep these in the box or they’ll find us. Don’t mention this to the others. I’ll protect us*”.

#### Session 11

After Salibar found a letter containing sketches of arcane glyphs and spell components in his lockbox and a note that read, “I have a vested interest in your well-being. Choose one – S,” Salibar decided to attach the Hand of Malediction to his arm. The ritual involved removing his left hand and placing the lich’s hand in its place. This granted him the ability to use a kind of paralysing touch and allowed him to conjure a spectral mage hand.

#### The Prophecy

In Misclap, Salibar also became acquainted with his supposed destiny. Some followers of the Magus believe Salibar to be the "One" spoken of in texts of the Magus. According to Rolf de Grey, this “One” was said to be the chosen disciple of the Magus and would appear around the coming of the seventh sunderance. As per the prophecy, the "One" was said to have travelled from afar, had visions, and walked half in life and half in death.

#### Session 13

Session 13 served as perhaps the most critical point in Salibar’s journey. After the infiltration of the Magisterium, Salibar’s world was thrown upside down. The lich’s hand gained greater power over his will, and Salibar was forced to undergo a ritual to remove the hand from his body. After the ritual failed, Salibar died and travelled to the afterlife, where he was questioned about his place in Evergreen and his impact on those around him. Ultimately, with the help of his companions, Salibar returned to the material plane.
