Fandral Staghelm

"If you are here to waste my time, then you are wasting the time of the Elven Rebels as a whole. For your sake, let us hope that you are not foolish enough to be doing just that."

— Fandral Staghelm

Archdruid of the Circle of Wildfire

Fandral Staghelm is an archdruid of the Circle of Wildfire, and a former leader of the Elven Rebels.

History

Capture

Part of the generation born after the indexation of the Kingdom -o Qwir by Tana's Empire, Fandral fought alongside the elven rebels. Fighting for years, he grew to be an extremely powerful druid, bested only by Broll Bearmantle as he followed the wise teaching of the Circle of the Moon. After Broll capture, Fandral became the defacto leader, his allegiance to the circle of the moon shifting to the circle of Wildfire. His only son, Valstann was targeted by the empire army, as he was Fandral only weakness, his death bringing Fandral to despair, as he had lost any will to fight.
Soon captured by the empire army, he was now destined to rot in the jails of Tana's Empire for centuries, a fate some may argue is worth than death. However, in 1135 AD, the druid was freed an expedition the elven rebels, led by Trilliumand Ethan Bluefeather.
Valia Abalhan and Vari Abalhan, new leaders of the elven rebels share their plans with fandral, and reveal to him the failed corruption of the phoenix, which will be the adventurers next task if they manage to come back from the feywild. Vari and Fandral do not trust the adventurers to carry out such important mission, but Valia vouch for them, as they are useful pawn, and their actions so far have greatly improved the rebels' life.

Fire and wood

The adventurers come back from the feywild with information about the portal, and Valia starts to work on the portal, realizing quickly it will take weeks for the necessary preparations, and the large Phoenix cannot be brought without the redirected portal.
The adventurers are finally sent to the Elemental Plane of Fire, and Valia, alongside Fandral and Vari prepare the assault of Tana's Empire's empire once the phoenix's power is within their grasp. However, the adventurers, missing Nep return sooner than expected, and confront the trio of leaders about the corruption of the phoenix, as they unveil the truth.
The adventures refuse to side with the rebels, leading to a confrontation. Evandor Siannodel, Lea Brownwood and Trillium side with the adventurers.
Fandral, protected by Vari and Valia, unleashes his powers, raining havoc on the battlefield. As the battle takes a turn for the worse, Valia, in a desperate act, attacks the portal, triggering a magical explosion that teleports everyone in its vicinity across worlds and planes.

The roots of all problems

Because of Valia's action, a rift between the elemental plane of fire and the material plane was created. Tana's empire army swiftly mobilized, gathering soldiers from the Kingdom of Vale, the Duchy of Freed, and the Kingdom of Qwir. The united forces marched towards the Wood of the Vale, as magicians pinpointed the source of the problem in that location.
However, Valia, Vari, Fandral, and many other rebels were teleported away by the incident and gathered back in the Elven Forest. As soldiers from all over the empire gathered around the wood of the vale, Valia saw an opportunity to overtake Manael Soliadon Tana and seize the Kingdom -o Qwir.
The rebels have launched an attack on Megima with the intent to seize the throne and control over the Kingdom -o Qwir.
The elves, supported by the rebels, initiated an assault on the city, burning it in their attempt to breach the castle. Valia, alongside Vari and Fandral reaches the throne room, in which they confront the queen for her actions, both as the queen of elves, but also as the previous empress of the this oppressing empire. Queen Manael attempts to persuade them she only seeks the good of elves but Vari drive refuses to hear word from the queen and drives his flaming sword through her as the adventurers reach the throne room.
The room erupts into chaos as a fierce battle ensues between the six heroes and the rebel leaders. Fandral summons elementals and beasts of fire, transforming himself into a mighty, flame-engulfed beast. Valia manages to wound Marilith, and Fandral seize this opportunity to kill her, turning her body into a pile of ashes, but Fandral eventually dies like the other leaders by the hands of the adventurers.
