Lismuuk Water Hunter

Lismuuk has been chief of the Water Hunters tribe for almost 20 years. During that time, he has struggled against the trends affecting other elf tribes in order to keep his elves true to long-standing traditions set down in the distant past. Other tribes have become merchants or mercenaries, and at least one tribe has established a permanent settlement. Lismuuk wants to have nothing to do with these new ideas, and any members of his tribe who attempt to adopt them are cast out. The chief is a tall, handsome elf who wears a crown of tagster fur adorned with the long, sharp teeth of some huge monster. Simple fur leggings and a tunic cover his tanned flesh, hide boots protect his feet, and he carries abraxat-hide shield. His long sword, lovingly carved from bone by the tribe's finest crafter and enchanted with a magical edge, is as much a symbol of his station as the crown he wears. The only person outside his tribe whom Lismuuk considers an equal is Bartras, the human leader of the Free. As for Hargan, patriarch of House Stel, the elf chief has declared him to be prey-to be hunted and killed at the first opportunity. Lismuuk hopes to be the one to drive home the killing blow.
