Level: 1

Mordras Blackleaf
Mordras is a slender and graceful Eladrin, comfortable in the shadows of the world as in the twilight of the Feywild. His ravenblack hair, unusual for the fair Eladrin, is bound in plaited bead that falls to his lower back, his eladrin, blue-and-silver eyes usually shine with eager anticipation. Mordras carries an elegant rapier and a set of razorsharp eladrin-crafted blades in different sizes, all polished to a shine. His clothing and gear are expertly crafted, meticulously cared for and adorned with fine eladrin scrollwork.

Background
Mordras is an exiled son to the House of Blackleaf, an Eladrin family ruling the mesmerizing autumn fief in the fey wild from the stronghold of Tel'Anor overlooking a marine and turquoise blue ocean from a scenic limestone cliff. From an early age, he was drawn to the ships sailing into fey wild waters, sometimes willingly; often not, and their outlandish crews. Where he kin remained aloof and distant, Mordras was drawn to the exotic and adventurous life of sailors.

Sailing out to human harbours more and more often and quickly turning to the wrong kind of friends, he was one night tricked into revealing the largely secret passage to his homeland through guile and magic charms by an infamous half-elf pirate named Cairbara. In a midnight raid to the feywild Cairbara and his crew of seasoned adventurers broke into the family stronghold, plundering the vaults and murdering Amadal, Mordras elder and upright brother who sought to stop the intruders.

Mordras, pursuing Cairbara but late to arrive to the disaster, found only blood and sorrow in his home. This day, and without a word spoken, he was exiled from his kin and family. With an oath on his lips to follow Cairbara and his kin “to the death and beyond” he returned to the world of man and for a year or mare, the outcast Eladrin has been roaming seaports, when he boarded the Ibenhold in pursuit of a possible lead….

Blackleaf's Woe

The Blackleaf's Woe is a +1 vicious rapier, well balanced, razor sharp with a handguard expertly crafted in the likeness of leaves.

The blade was magically forged for superiour balance and sharpness and a coming-of-age gift from the lord of House Blackleaf to his eldest son Amadal. In his final duel with Cairbara, Amadal was disarmed and beaten. In a cruel act of humiliation, Cairbara drove the Eldarin's own blade through his heart to kill the defensless noble. The rapier, stained with the blood of his brother, was the only thing Mordras carried along into exile. Having since then carved an often bloody trail through the seedier parts of many port, the thin blade has somehow aquired a vicious taste for dealing pain and blood.
