Vilrun the Adjudicator

Archon of Law Vilrun (a.k.a. The Adjudicator)

Vilrun the Adjudicator is the commander of the Arbiters and the Archon of Law for Aelzan.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Vilrun carries two masks:

• The Silent Face is his silver-colored mask. It is a patient face - a face for listening as Vilrun presides over all matters brought to the court, taking great pains to ensure all sides of an issue are heard.

• The Face of Resolve is donned in war and during particularly challenging affairs. Vilrun's last known donning of the Face of Resolve was the moment he judged the districts in the City of Ashglade, where he now holds his court and oversees the Arcanian Imperial Territory (known as the Arcanian Tier).

• Vilrun is said to have worn a third mask in eons past. The face is rumored to have displeased Aelzan and thus was destroyed - as happens to all persons and objects that displease the Overlord.

Vilrun's robes are notably unwrinkled - likely the effect of time spent hanging midair. The material is stiff and harsh against the skin. Though he has acquiesced to wearing fine garments for the execution of his authority, he has eschewed all of the luxuries or comforts that his position would have afforded. Bracers are made of coarse, unforgiving material. The palms are stitched with the wording of obscure laws, though it is doubtful Vilrun needs any help remembering them.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Vilrun the Adjudicator is the Archon of Justice and creator of the Court of Arbitration as well its agents, the Arbiters. Eldest of the Archons in service to Aelzan, he has served the Overlord since the Overlord’s time in the Calemdarian Senate. He came from humble beginnings, starting as a scribe before his country was absorbed by Aelzan's empire and ending as the foremost expert on law, a widely respected arbiter and drafter of covenants. By the time Aelzan's armies arrived, Vilrun had already woven Aelzan's Peace into his nation's legal code, making the annexation a formality. Vilrun was hailed as an architect of peace and referred to as Vilrun the Fair for a time. However, when Aelzan learned of the part he played in the annexation, they bestowed the title of Adjudicator on him and declared him the Archon of Law.
Vilrun's principal concern was the implementation of Aelzan's laws and execution of justice. To this end, he fashioned the Face of Judgment, a metal mask that he would wear during judging to eliminate any outward appearance of bias. Over the years, he became a living incarnation of law -- cold, dispassionate, and as fair as humanly possible. As such, he outranks the other Archons and is empowered to judge them and settle disputes that arise. Interestingly, although every Archon can be challenged by an Exarch, none have been born who would challenge the Adjudicator and his role. His closest associate is Bleden Mark, the headsman of the Court. However, respect is not synonymous with friendship -- neither considers the other a friend and, in fact, it's not known if after the centuries Vilrun is even capable of harboring human feelings, or if there is even a man still under the mask and robes that seem to be ever-filled with smoke. Vilrun doesn't like when the question is asked and others don't dare speculate.
