The Lost Prince
The Melancholy Lord, Arch-Fey
For more information on all Arch-Fey, see: Arch-Fey
The Lost Prince, sometimes called the Melancholy Lord, is one of the Arch-Fey, a divine fey creature of tremendous power said to be able to reshape the very fabric of Faerûn on a whim. In looks, he is gaunt; in nature, he is dour and morose; in attitude, he tries to maintain a neutrality in all matters. The Lost Prince is the only Arch-Fey suspected not to be a native of Faerûn. No one knows his birthplace (speculated to be somewhere on the Material Plane or another reality entirely), why he left, and when and how he might return.

Physical Description
The Lost Prince always appears as a gaunt, handsome, perpetually frowning human man with black eyes, unruly black hair and dressed completely in black. A band of red symbols glows on his head, and a four-pointed star similarly glows on the back of each hand.Divine Realm
The Lost Prince's realm is the Crumbling Tower, a place that has seen better days.Tenets of Faith
- Aid the depressed in their time of need. Do not abandon those who have been forgotten.
- Wear somber garbs. Avoid ostentatiousness, and maintain neutrality.
- Ruminate on the past, and let it guide the present.
Worshipers
Although he appears disdainful of everyone else, including his own servants and followers, the Lost Prince usually secretly aids the depressed (particularly those who lost their homes and families), even if he never admits it. Because of this, despite his melancholy and apparent thanklessness, the Lost Prince counts many followers willing to defend their patron. They are at pains to discuss the Lost Prince's good works while drawing a gloss over his preferred method of maintaining neutrality in all things.Contacts & Relations
Arch-Fey
The Lost Prince remains neutral with the other Arch-Fey, who often make him the center of their debates and schemes. His solemnity and knowledge are appreciated by Magdh and Shyka, while the Lantern King and Ragadahn cannot tolerate him. Ng sometimes visits the Lost Prince's library, with neither Arch-Feyacknowledging the other. The Green Mother is romantically attracted to him, especially as he constantly refuses her advances. Imbrex is likely the Lost Prince's favorite peer, due to their stoicism and the Lost Prince's desire to be left alone.Divine Traits
