Astaroth Urithair'Vaul'Arcaine

Written by ChroniclesofEvalaw

Born into a venerable a Dral'azie great house and proclaimed to be a prodigy of his bloodline. Astatoth would quickly earn the ire of his mother time and time again, rebelling against her wishes. Denounced and forced into self-exile, he fled his home to escape the wrath of his vengeful matron mother, joining the Templar Order to eke out his own destiny.

Calm head and an angry heart, this a self-imposed exile and wayward templar is a man who has already been broken and slowly being put back together.

Astaroth-Full

by Jayyl

TThe infamous Abyss Knight has become a figure of notoriety and intrigue amongst the city-states of the underworld, this renegade noble is one of the Templar Orders most venerated brethren, and also its most troublesome. He comes across as a cold-blooded and arrogant individual with the emotional range of a teaspoon and an almost universal irreverence towards others. Considered by some to be perhaps be one of the deadliest warriors their people have produced in generations, yet any prestige and merit he would have held is marred by the stigma generated over the course of his life. Unlike many of the more meek and subservient males in Dral'azie society, Astaroth displays a distinct lack of regard or respect for figures of authority. Showing nothing but flagrant contempt and loathing toward the nobility and priesthood alike has earned him a bad reputation in most circles, and a number of powerful adversaries. Chief amongst these, his own mother Lenith who seeks to break her wayward child and usher him back into the fold. Having travelling the length and breadth of The Sunless Realms over countless campaigns and endeavours, gaining infamy and acclaim among the ranks of the templar and beyond for many decades. His exploits catching the attention of a number of underworld troubadours and songwrites, Kasita Quenthel in particular gave him the moniker of Abyss Knight in many of her somewhat exaggerated retellings of his exploits. A nickname that would remain with him for the rest of his days. The most controversial of his convictions is his relationship with Olarae Inilani.

If I wanted you dead we wouldn't be having this conversation.

History

Their relationship has been one of much scandle and gossip amongst the courtiers and nobility of Rie'shae and beyond over the years, even catching the attention of one prominent Rie'shae bard, penning the louse ballad "?". The bard is well known for haunting to doorways of the Oshire districts pleasure houses and had become allegedly privy to the couple's first blossoming romance and secret meetings that followed. Olarae and Astaroths relationship is atypical by Dral'azie standards, though it has endured scrutiny due to their different positions on the social hierarchy and their places in society due to gender roles, on the whole it balances out and is viewed as acceptable, though this is entirely dependent on who you ask. Typically like most Dral'azie relationships they are polyamorous, having other partners and dalliances even possessing their own 'harems' that act as part of their household, but at its core the couple view themselves as each other's primary companion and partner. This has in no doubt led to issues between the two, either disliking the partners of the other, or having to keep their other lovers in line when they attempt to interfere. (Generally a situation that can quickly turn lethal in Dral society, particularly with females). Despite this openness, both experience pangs of jealously. Astaroth is particularly prone to this - this could be due to his emotionally stunted upbringing, making him unable to process such feelings and bottling them up opposed to Olaraes far more liberal upbringing. However, she does exhibit moments of possessiveness and know to throwing full-fledged tantrums when she feels he is not giving her his full attention. As such she enjoys toying with him, purposefully coxing and riling him up, enflaming all his bottled up anger and emotion, bringing it to a boiling point till he explodes. Usually appearing in the intense, passionate encounters. Rumours spread amongst then nobility commenting perhaps this is why Olarae has not picked up and dropped him so readily, well known for her amorous appetites, quickly growing bored and disinterested with her previous conquests. While others have commented that the pair do appear to be surprisingly close and warm with one another, surprising for the notoriously cold and indifferent Astaroth, who expresses very few emotions if any emotions openly.
