Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daztur" data-source="post: 6117973" data-attributes="member: 55680">The Heir of TrimueilAdditional information about Hex 03.08Inspired by: <a href="http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/nonfiction/37/the-black-book-of-clark-ashton-smith" target="_blank">http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/nonfiction/37/the-black-book-of-clark-ashton-smith</a> and a PC from a different campaign I ran.One of the many poets who learned their verse at the feet of Trimueil is Algrael the Gelderer. A great fat man with drooping moustache, his booming voice is capable of calling of creatures from the depth and scaring away sharks.He became a poet after constantly seeing visions of a lady in white when just on the edge of sleep, often in patterns of frost that formed on the windows of the inns that he stayed at and some of his best verse is praises of her beauty. Once while passing through bleak fields near Mount Scorshia (02.03) Algrael caught a glimpse of her at mid-day and pursued her across rock and glacier until he lost her in a sudden snow storm. After several hours of stumbling through falling snow he emerged in a green land crowned with violet skies.There his lady in white embraced and kissed him but when Algrael opened his eyes he found himself in the embrace of an ice mummy (03.02) with a very painful frostbite where his lady had kissed him.Connection:-Algrael the Gelderer has a history of close friendship with Arinlag Fivefish (35.04) and will speak highly of him if given a chance.Hooks:-Why is Algrael called the "gelderer?"-What parts of his body did Algrael have frostbite on? Was there any lasting damage?-Who is the lady in white? What connection does she save with the ice mummies?-What other students did Trimueil have?</blockquote>
