Expect incredible rewards—new spells and recognition that solidifies his divine superiority.

Film Editor’s Revenge

To preemptively strike back, he decides to intervene by editing known spells to obliterate his foes’ magic. This quest will take Elluin through the roughest parts of the town where he learns about their dirty tricks—enough to ruin their reputations—and comes out significantly more powerful by experimenting with their lowly magic.

The Scourge of Commoners
In this bold venture, Elluin seeks to ethnically cleanse the underbelly of the city by offering bounties on any ‘desecrator’—commoners who tarnish the reputation of elves. To show the lesser races their place in society and feel justified in their eradication makes this an amusing task—and with great rewards.

Ally: Lyra Faesong
Shared History
Lyra is a fellow high elf and Elluin's closest confidant. Their shared obsession with elven superiority has forged a strong bond. Though occasionally they butt heads over how to achieve their goals, their camaraderie often boosts each other’s confidence. However, Lyra is unsure of Elluin's absolute belief, thus navigating this line keeps her uncertain for the next moves.
Potential Breaking Points
- Lyra may choose to support other lower races if she feels betrayed overly.
Enemy: Grimwald Ironfist
Personal Stakes
Grimwald's affinity for 'lower races' is a constant irritating thorn in Elluin's side. Grimwald openly challenges Elluin’s beliefs, publicly undermines his spells and rhetoric, especially when celebrating the diversity of magic. Every encounter is a test of will, like a constant duel over supremacy.
Possible Resolutions
- Defeat Grimwald in public displays to shun his influence.
- Convert others against Grimwald's perspective.

Secrets
- Elluin was snubbed early during his apprenticeship by a lower race mage and has never recovered. A dark secret that lingers.
- He possesses a single spell from a previously integrated human wizard he looked down upon, which he would never reveal especially without great consequence.
