### Short Stories

The Road to Vanador

Astyral is one of the first Warmagi to receive irionite and to be raised to *High Magi* status.

## Personality and Characteristics

He is a typical Gilmoran in that he sneers at all of the other nobles. But he is a highly effective administrator and Governor of Turdy and the area around it.

## Early years

Born in Gilmora to an aristocrat family when his magic came in he was unable to inherit per the Bans. He and his two cousins were rejected by Gilmoran society as mere sparks.

He was part of the campaign in Farise, but Minalan had not met him there.

## Summary

### Spellmonger

Astyral first appears in *Spellmonger*, he is a war mage that comes to help Minalan in Boval and is given a piece of irionite.

He was also part of the warmagi group that skulked through the guavani camps looking for more ironite and doing as much damage as possible while they were there.

### Warmage

In *Warmage*, after The *Battle of Timberwatch*, he was knighted and made Magelord of Tudry.

### Magelord

During the Robinwing Convention in *Magelord*, he was named Commander of the East for the Horka Order.

### High Mage

When Minalan tours the Penumbra and fortifications around the outskirts, he stops into Tudry and discovers a well run military town.

Astyral brought nearly every spark in Tudry to journey up the frozen Poros river and to fight in The Battle of the Red Ice.

### Journeymage

One of the few people that Minalan told his complete plan and who was involved from the beginning. His job was to keep the guavani distracted as much as possible.

When the Great March reached Otter Point and Minalan had to arrest Lord Garway, he transported him to Tudry for Astyral to hold until his case could be heard by Duke Anguin.

By the time the Great March reached Tudry, rumors had preceded them so that the orphans were ready to swarm them, which they did. Astyral made arrangements to help provide supplies for the orphans to help them on their journey to safety.

### Enchanter

Overlaps with Court Wizard so the events that Astyral was involved with are listed there. Except that while he is attending the Conclave and they get word that Alshar has been attacked, he is one of the Magi with a seven stone so learns how to travel the ways to quickly return to Alshar.

### Court Wizard

Astyral along with the other Warmagi with positions in the Wilderlands support Anguin's court and assist Pentandra as much as needed.

#### Conclave

While most of the warmagi are away to Castabriel to support Pentandra as part of the Alshar delegation, the guavani attacked the smaller townlands and keeps, avoiding Tudry and Megelin where there were plenty of armsmen and warmagi.

### Necromancer

#### Olum Seheri

Astyral commands the third wave of warmagi to enter Olum Seheri via the ways. Their purpose is to cause as much destruction as possible.

#### Tudry

Astyral convinces Minalan that continuing to maintain and secure Tudry is no longer viable, so they concoct an elaborate trap for the guavani. Astyral forcefully evicts and relocates everyone in town offering them places in Vandor and helping them to move everything that they can.
Then with the help of their other warmagi friends they wait for the guavani attack on Tudry before slaughtering them and then burning the town down.

Astyral retires from the battle and accepts Anguin's offer to take over one of his new Gilmore Baronies.

### The Road to Vanador

Astyral hosts Minalan and his father overnight as they journey to Vandor.
