Neseris ri Svae

A.K.A Ne'sarious; The Wrath of Dra'anan; Cursed of Ysara; Waffles

Known Italti, hosting the spirit of another italti known as Vulraelagus.

Possibly the most notorious of Evindale inhabitants, Neseris is a Sadrath’il from Wyth Tyr'il whose unending quest to master all forms of magic has caused him quite the reputation.

Though members of the Cabal will not openly state why, Neseris holds only a temporary position within Amsträd’s government and spends most of his time within a delapitated tower in southeast Mütvia with only occasional visits to the city-state.

Only in times of dire need does the Cabal call upon Neseris, and often they are loathe to do so.

## Origins

Neseris’ origins are clouded in mystery with several stories about him floating around:

* He is actually an italti, a mortal empowered and corrupted by, as well as a witness to, the divine magics released into the world upon the death of Evin at the end of the First Age.
* He served as a councillor to Queen Malana, the founder of the Slindari Kingdom.
* Neseris’ true name is lost to the ages, but ancient texts refer to a powerful magic-user called “Nesaureous” who existed in the Second Age, or the Age of Chaos and God-Kings.
* Upon attaining mastery in all forms of magic he challenged Ysara, a selfish god of manipulation and magic. The price of his hubris was a curse which lasts to this day.
* He was actually the haughty leader of an adventuring group who was kicked through a portal to hell where he learned his powers of soulforging.
* He is so old his original body has long since vanished.  His actual form is now a faceless gray-cloaked wraith which he hides through powerful illusions.

## Neseris, the Tunbrian

At the end of the Third Age, Neseris served as Minister of Defense to then Tunbrian Emperor Tallis.  There he gained lands as payment for his service and became Duke of Svae, a parcel of land fertile in northern Tunbria.

He still claims his Tunbrian title, “ri Svae” despite living in southeastern Mütvia at the end of the Fourth Age.

## Soulforging and the Soul Forge Law

As Minister of Justice, Neseris was responsible for introducing the Soul Forge Law.  In short, any person found guilty of heinous crimes in Amsträd would face execution with their soul extracted beforehand and prevented from reaching the afterlife.

While their body was cremated, their soul would be forged into a physical creation.

Neseris and several other Cabal members are said to have several pieces of furniture composed of the silent and conscious souls of those who will forever pay the price of their crimes.

## Bio

Former member of The Serilean Cabal of Amstrad where he held the position of Minister of Justice. Hailing from the wastelands of Dra'anan, few in the circles of magic have not heard the name of the Sadrath'il scholar and Magus known as Neseris.

Known for his research in Soul-crafting, Blood magic and his extensive skin care routine, Neseris has also served as Minister of Security to the Emperor of Tunbria (where he was awarded the county of Svae), and more recently as a self-appointed Prince of Mutvia.

Contrary to his flair for fashion, Neseris performs his studies (and presumably lives) in an unnamed decrepit stone tower in the southeast most portion of Mutvia. The exact nature of his studies are unknown, but they have left a formerly lush land barren and destroyed.

Few have engaged with the ancient Elf without paying his simple price; one drop of blood, or trying his Mutvian Waffles.
