:WEAPONS MASTER: From an early age, even for the long lived elven people, Adon was schooled by his family in the art of weapon and personal battle. Taught the art of the bow and blade, long befor his admitance into the Noldorian Guard. His ablilities were noticed first by family and then by peers and then patrons in the Noldorian Noble household of Starstorm.
It was no suprize that the prestegious house
"Ath'Theravel" would spawn such a prodigy as there family has a long and unbroken line of awarded Starstorm Guard members..... Adon is the pinical of centuries of training
and ancestural conduct handed down from elder to young.
He is also the last of his line.
Though Adon is highly skilled with vertualy all weapons of war and combat, and his skill with the bow is exemplary,His true calling is the saber.
A true warrior's weapon, good for land or sea, city court or deepend jungle, Adon's skill is such that it appears as if he works magic with the blade and one inparticular is never far from him if not at his very side.
:Hightend Senses: Do to Adon's heritage and the past daliances his ancesters have had with the drow of the region coupled with decades of constant training and honing of skills of perception that the House of Ath'Theravel gives it's chosen children through rigorous training and meditative styles, his hearing, sight, and olfactory capabilities are highly attuned.
He can see as well as the average Drow in the night.
His reacion time borders on motion without thought.
:Stealth: Adon, through hard training under his family and the Noldorian Guard, has honed his skills of quiet movements and blending into natural and uban environments to a fine edge. He is no thief but how better to Guard against one or hunt one down, then by using his own tools aganst him?
:Use Magic Items: Adon seems to have some ability to actualy use magical items not normaly accessable to those without magical training do in part to his training in the thief-like arts and to his hightend senses, he is able to actualy (feel) the way things should be about an item, for lack of better terms. This "sensing" also allows him a sort of magic detection, though no where near as accurate as that of a trained mage, it has come in handy on many occasion.
It unfortunatly is also a vertue that the castle mages have picked up on and so use him often to "test" thier newest inventions befor making them available to the guards in general.
~His Favored Weapon~
:The Sabre Known as "Mithorn Ath'Theravel": Is a weapon of Old elven masterwork and magics. It's lines suggest hints of drowic influince in it's design as well as the basket-hilt's molded Black Laen draconinc wings suggesting a theme to the blade's functions. It's name Literaly means "Mithril Talon, The Sky Sword", and it is an intelligent weapon handed down from father to son in the Ath'Theravel family for as long as the family history remembers. It is rumored that the founder of the family line first weilded the blade in battle after it's creation at a terrable price to help save the elven nations from some sort of threat from the sky..
The rest is a mystery.
:Specifics: The blade is of magicaly and alcemicaly hardend Mithril that seems able to reflect various sorts of energies and magical attacks, with it's hilt,pummel and handle a solid peice of molded Black Laen, (a super hard valcanic glass with magical properties). The pummelstone is a Azure-Laen oval gem and the handwrap is of some sort of black scailed hide that offers ecceptional grip.
The blade never looses it's edge, though Adon has been known to spend time polishing it's gleaming fasets as he contemplates hard decissions. He has been seen talking to it in conversational tones and the blade seems to answer him in a chiming metalic hum of sorts that he seems to understand fully
*Light* The blade can shed a soft deep blue glow enough to read by as the request of the user.
*Detects Illusions* Within 10 yards the intellect within the blade warns Adon of Illusions of magic and energies outside Psionic making.
*Immunity* to life draining effects from undead, the negative material plane, and such sorces that mimic this effect.
*Soul gestalt* This effect has never been seen or documented and may not even be known to Adon. Surely Mithorn has not mentioned it.
:The digging past the scratch:
Residing within the azure stone in the pummel of the weapon is the "Elfshadow" known as (Mithorn) forwhich the blade gets it's name. Taking the form of the shadow of a beautiful Drowic maiden with glowing blue eyes and bat-like wings. She is the spirit of Adon's Long gone forfather's Drowic love that willingly gave her life for the creation of the weapon, to protect and always be beside her lover through battle and peace. She can be called forth from the blade anywhere within 250' of the weilder and from there can travel anywhere within the same plane. She works in the best interests of the Ath'Theravel family and has all the powers of an undead shadow holding the alignment of the Owner of the blade and can not be controled or bound or turned.
~His Favored Equipment~
:Ring of holding: Adon wears a ring that can store one item within it magicaly in a singular extradimentional space, recalling it at a thought and sending it back. The item stored can be no larger then a suit of armor built to fit the user of the ring and that is what he uses it for.
At present he has within it a suit of light Mithril weave armor. It's extreamly light and very flexable but protects as full mithril chain.
:Gauntlet of whispers: A beautifuly constructed and finely articulated gauntlet of elven leatherwork and mithril plates interlocking. Built for the battlefield or the courts, the composite glove makes it possable for Adon to communicate with the Guard troops, The magi affiliated with the Capital City, The City high Priest and for any of them to converse back.
:Spell beads: Empowered by the Magi of the Castle, most guard hold a few of these beads at a time, to augment their abilities and help in their duties. Not to be used frivolously, each small colored glass bead holds a single spell that activates when broken.
Some commonly seen ones are......
Anti-magic shell
Day light
Hold, paralysis, or stunning
Demensional ancor(Makes it impossable to port,
gate, phaze, shadow in or out of a given area)
Force cell
Teleport
..................This is not the definitive list and other types have been known to be given out in times of need.
