Onranion

* Onranion 1
* Onranion 2

## Summary

Master Onranion is an adept in Alkan songspells and the manipulation of irionite. He makes his first appearance in the series in “Victory Soup” A Spellmonger Short Story - The Road To Sevendor: A Spellmonger Anthology.

Which is also where he takes Minalan's irionite and magically melds is with 3 more pieces of irionite and adds some of the Alkan Alon songspells, thus creating Minalan's witchsphere that he uses until it cracks in *Enchanter*.

Onranion is slightly over 1400 years old, in Victory Soup. An Avalanti prodigy in his youth, Onranion is acknowledged as one of the master Spellsingers who can manipulate irionite -- no small feat. He was generally enthusiastic about allowing humanity to settle the Five Duchies and other areas, which put him at odds with many in the Alka Alon Council. His lack of respect for the council and his enthusiasm for novelty have made him an occasional player in history, but rarely important. Until he met Minalan the Spellmonger.

Starting from *High Mage* he becomes a recurring character in Tera Alon form.

## Personality and Characteristics

Onranion is a brilliant prodigy, and that has often colored his perspective as he makes his way through life. His talent as a Spellsinger is tempered only by his legacy as an Avalanti, which has deprived him of some influence over the centuries. He delights in the novel, and adores humanity for its willingness to live in the moment. Unlike his contemporary, Lilastien, he has no grand ideal by which he measures all civilizations; his hedonism and decadent nature has kept him quietly neutral in the interplay of grand political strategy amongst the Alka Alon.

That said, his bittersweet perspective has compelled him to take the underdog's side, in many cases. When he was tacitly allowed to aid Minalan the Spellmonger, it seemed to validate his unique perspective and he embraced the opportunity to "masquerade" as a humani with enthusiasm. Alas, a pendulous penis (the Alon all boast penile sheaths) and an admiration of humankind's decisiveness made him the scourge of Sevendor's nightlife, once he took advantage of Lilastien's transgenic spell to re-express himself as an ideal human. More than a score of maidens with embarrassing situations have arisen in Sevendor, as a result. His casual association with the Karshak and the humani has done his reputation with the Alka Alon society no favors.

Intriguingly, he has built relationships with all three Alkan Emissaries, as a result. By the time he comes to Sevendor he has abandoned what little loyalty he had to the Alka Alon Council and its trappings and has wholly embraced the promise of humanity's rise -- with all of its ephemerally decadent entertainments. His estranged wife and six children are unsure of what Onranion is doing, consorting with the Newcomers, but in context of the reprobate sire, they only suspect the worst.

## Early years

Onranion was born in a refuge in what is now Upper Vore, to a modest Avalanti family. His early mastery of songspells and advanced magic allowed him to be entered into some of the most elite
