Neanoth Jeal’tlous
Neanoth Jeal’tlous is a dark elf mage of the Morenar. He is described as a noble, a strategist and a user of dark magic.1
The fall of his house
Neanoth is the first son of House Jeal’tlous, a powerful dark elf house in the city of Marthen’terrain. He left the house after its fall from grace, a decline in which he himself played a significant part; why he betrayed it remains unknown. He then joined the Morenar, where he was warmly welcomed.1
Envoy of the Morenar
The Morenar is now building ties with the House of Grezzit Baeren, the house that seized power in Marthen’terrain after House Jeal’tlous fell. Neanoth serves as the guild's representative, fostering relations between that house and the Morenar, and he accompanies the house's elder daughter on her mission to the upper world as her bodyguard and wizard servant.1
He favours infiltration, is skilled in interrogation and arcane secrets, and for now will not work against the dark elves. He can be found at The Grand Merchantium and at the Tower of High Magus Aendlon.1
In battle
A formidable mage who specialises in enchantment, Neanoth excels at deception and planning. He never starts a battle he thinks he could lose, reads battlefields and enemies extremely well, and puts his own safety first. He prefers spells that keep enemies from acting and expects his allies to deal the finishing blow. He likes to keep his foes alive and takes as many prisoners as he can, and as an expert in magic of the mind, he enjoys tormenting his enemies with enchantments.1
