Shanador Spiritweaver, Death's Messenger of Elanthia, an Elven Warrior Mage.

Appearance

Shanador has pointed ears and silver eyes. His white hair is long and straight, and is worn arranged in an intricate Elven braid. He has tanned skin.
He is mature.
He has a narrow mustache and a thin beard styled into a sharp point. Suspended from the mustache and beard by wispy tendrils of glistening spidersilk are tiny onyx spiders displaying carmine hourglass markings on their night black abdomens.

Citizenship

• UNKNOWN DATE - In a time long since past, when juggling was all the rage, Shanador, having heard tale of unique juggling items available on a far off settlement in the Qi'Reshalia province, made his first seafaring voyage away from the mainland. After a long island hoping, mountain climbing, maze navigating journey to the island of M'Riss he found his way to the city of Mer'Kresh and eventually into Trintah's Herbal Remedies. Unfortunately, he was denied access to those items he sought. Apparently, they were not for sale to tourists. Not wishing to have traveled so far for so long for naught and having heard that M'Riss's citizens also had access to a more direct transport to and from the mainland (the Degan), Shanador promptly visited the town hall and registered as a citizen of M'Riss.
• 423y, 336d AVL (6/10/2017) - Weary of paying tax to a province he hadn't visited in decades (not once since becoming a citizen) and motivated by a growing attachment to Ilithi, Shanador once again made the arduous trek to Mer'Kresh and denounced his citizenship.
• PRESENT - Currently claims allegiance to no province, although his activities suggest an Ilithic affiliation likely in the near future.

As a winning prize Ergripta used her twisty magic to transform Shanador's simple wooden medallion into a simple wooden medallion carved with an Ilithic apple tree, (LOOK) small blue apples are picked out in enamel on the tree.

Then, as the morning sun crested the horizon, watched in awe as the Merlew city of Andreshlew rose from the ocean for the first time in fifty years.
