Junrahel
Grand Consular of Minas Amer
Junrahel, Grand Consular of Minas Amer, stands as one of the most formidable arcanists and scholars in all of Kyonin. A member of the old elven nobility, Junrahel is known for his sharp intellect, rigid sense of tradition, and often imperious demeanor. He is the primary steward of the Great Archive and spiritual head of the Council of Knowledge, the ruling body of Minas Amer.
He earned the title of Grand Consular after centuries of service to the archive, during which he personally led expeditions into Osirion, the Mwangi Expanse, and the Mana Wastes in pursuit of lost tomes and arcane artifacts. Junrahel's magical expertise is matched only by his encyclopedic knowledge of pre-Earthfall civilizations, and he is widely considered an authority on Thassilonian and Sa'haran history.
Relationship with Minas Amer
To Junrahel, Minas Amer is more than a bastion of scholarship—it is a sacred charge, a legacy to be safeguarded against ignorance and entropy. He views the Great Archive as the sum of elven responsibility in the wake of Earthfall: a duty to remember what was lost and protect what knowledge endures. Junrahel is a deeply traditional figure and holds the original Sa’har Order in almost mythic reverence. He has taken great pains to preserve their legacy within the walls of the Great Pyramid. The crack in the eastern face of the structure, though repaired, remains untouched by glamers at his insistence—"a scar," he says, "worthy of remembrance." Though known for his pride and aloofness, Junrahel is a tireless mentor. He personally selects Consular apprentices and often sets nearly impossible trials for them—not out of cruelty, but because he believes that true understanding only comes through sacrifice and hardship. Some whisper that Junrahel sees himself as a guardian not just of lore, but of time itself, a living connection to a more enlightened past.Relationship with Queen Telandia Edasseril
Junrahel's relationship with Queen Telandia Edasseril, monarch of Kyonin, is complex and steeped in history. The two share a mutual respect born of centuries of correspondence and philosophical debate, though their approaches to leadership differ greatly. While Queen Telandia seeks to reforge Kyonin’s place in a modern world, Junrahel remains wary of change for change’s sake. Despite his often blunt demeanor, Junrahel is a trusted advisor to the Queen, particularly in matters of magical law, extraplanar diplomacy, and arcane defense. His presence in the royal court is rare, but when summoned, he commands immediate attention. It is said that Telandia once described him as “the echo of a time long past, whose wisdom weighs heavier than a thousand years of counsel.” There is an undercurrent of tension in their interactions: Junrahel does not conceal his disapproval of the Queen’s increasing openness to human alliances—despite allowing humans to live within Minas Amer himself, which he considers a unique circumstance rather than a precedent.Mental characteristics
Morality & Philosophy
Junrahel is austere, fiercely logical, and unyielding in matters of principle. He adheres to the dogma of Nethys in his own way—embracing the duality of magic's destructive and creative forces, but favoring its role in preservation and understanding. While not a formal cleric, he holds honorary standing in the Church of Nethys and has penned several theological treatises on the deity’s influence on elven magic.
He is deeply mistrustful of politics, believing that power divorced from wisdom is inherently corruptive. For this reason, he has refused multiple offers to sit on the Court of Kyonin. He sees Minas Amer as a haven from the decay of ambition, and a model for what the elven people could be—if they remembered who they were.
