dohalim il qaras | tales of arise

Character: Dohalim il Qaras
Canon: Tales of Arise
Canon Point: Pelegion, following the brief timeskip/interlude there.

Crime: Negligence.

Background: A Renan hailing from Lenegis, Dohalim has always considered himself to be a musician and a poet rather than a politician of any sort, but nonetheless found himself in the position Lord of the realm of Elde Menancia with the expectation of participating in the Crown Contest, where the Renan Lords of each realm set out to see who could harness the most energy from the Dahnan slaves serving them. Though not initially as altruistic as many thought, he did take a different approach to his rule than most Renan Lords, and worked to promote coexistence between Renans and Dahnans. This had mixed results at best; on the surface, many people were happy with these changes and grateful for the opportunities it granted, while still others (mostly fellow Renans) resented him for not being the sort of Lord they had intended to serve, and remained unwilling to acknowledge Dahnans as anything even approaching equal. Of course, this all eventually backfired in both a grim and spectacular manner; countless Dahnans lost their lives because Dohalim neglected to consider what resentment might lead his countrymen to do. Since then, he has resigned from his position as Lord and set out to bring an end to the Crown Contest for good, joining the group of travelers that had been largely responsible for bringing the problems in Elde Menancia to light.

Abilities: Dohalim is handy with astral artes, with his offensive artes being earth, plant and darkness oriented. He also has some useful healing and defensive artes up his sleeve. He plays a mean violin, recites poetry off-the-cuff (your mileage may vary on quality) and claims to be able to hear artifacts speaking. Whether or not this is literal remains to be seen. The world may never know. He is a weird dude.

Plans:
  • He's going to be very, very interested in assisting the people of Aldrip with this food shortage. He can't do much regarding food prep, but he's good with diplomacy, so he'll be aiming to put that to use with the Rumpiturians. In general, he's very invested in fostering good relationships with the locals while we continue to gather information.
  • He'll be doing some venturing into the woods to get to Rumpitur, naturally, so spooky forest things are on his agenda.
  • This seems like a good time for him to work on his practical life skills... which means learning to fish, and to expand the sorts of dishes he is able to make, learn food preservation techniques etc, to varying degrees of success.
  • He's gonna ruin some laundry this month tbh.
