Lastelight

The last spark of light shall come from the uplifted blade of one of our order

(Therengia: Not too long ago)

Jerrete Lastelight, master of fires of heart
Elothean blood spilled in honour of
Your heritage your passions ceased

Jerrete Lastelight, holder of my fascinations
Your charm brought smiles in our eyes
Your wonder lost to stars

Jerrete Lastelight, wielder of justice
you sang to us as an Angel on mortal's wings
Your power lost to storms

Jerrete Lastelight, guardian of our home
Death is lonely in fields afar from us
Your spark of hope never died
. . .

Prediction/song by a lost bardess before his time

 
Jerrete Lastelight was one of the last I met that embodied the Ways Of Lanival. A Warrior mage by profession, but paladin at heart, this young elothean grew up in Therengia in the home of some lost and forgotten clan.

His golden brown hair and ruddy red cloak gave me the impression that he was of the sun's set. He glowed with a smile (he was also one of the rarest elotheans I've seen, he had a long brownish-blonde mustache, and a thick one at that).

This young man's passions were put to rest one day though . . . He was abondoned by his peers in the fields. He held off the onslaught of foes as valiantly as he could, right to the end and beyond. He died alone, his last breath drawn as the sun finaly set.
