Life

High Priest Tenebraus was alive during the time of the Bard Guild's re-founding, following the destruction the Dragon Priest fanatics issued on it. He took Siryn, a woman who was trying to restart the Bard's Guild, as his captive and tortured her for the location of her apprentice bards, of which included Silvyrfrost.

During the battle in the Bard's Guild, Tenebraus killed Siryn when she gave the order for the others to attack him. Tenebraus slew her with a foul magic and was cut down by Mir Devoir. He rose again, a corpse no longer and laughed in the faces of those who thought to kill him.

It was then that Siryn spoke from beyond the grave and ordered the Bards to sing. They sang out with songs full of emotion and continued to due so until Tenebraus' life and magic fell apart under the torrent of their music.

The Guild opened that day in the year of Lirisa 349 and Silvyrfrost, protege of Siryn, became the Guildleader.

Siryn's cutlass, partially destroyed by Tenebraus, was recovered by Olaf and now sits on display in the Bard's Guild along with a plaque.

Details about the story can be read in The Restoration of the Bard's Guild in Our Time.

Famous Faces Trading Card

Tenebraus Stlinathal was once a Dragon High Priest who commanded strongly the forces of fanatics that opposed the restoration of the Bardic Guild in modern times. Fanatical himself, he threw every resource at his command to prevent Bards from regaining their former strength, even taking up a blade himself to slay the Bardess Siryn as she attempted to open the doors of a new Guildhouse in Crossing. As she died, her spirit cried out his one weakness -- song. Thus those present took up the call, singing until Tenebraus's magic and life were shattered by the strong emotions flung against him by the power of music.
