Description
Horror... Darkness... Malevolence..., radiating with an unmistakable aura from the decrepit form of this aged creature, is the first and most obvious trsub of the Lichdrow of House D'Artes. Defiled skin hangs loosely about his bones in a half decaying state, the stale stench of death quite offensive to the nostrils of anyone in his vicinity. A turbulent flame of ruby hue burns bright within the emptied sockets of Tiphareth's visage, an ominous telling of the creature's arcane and tenebrous nature. Ragged hair falls long tangled tresses, its once brilliant white now faded to a soiled silver hue. About the creature's neck rests the obvious symbol of his Drow leadership, the noble insignia of Trist'oth's First House, of which he serves as Patron. Though the Lichdrow hold potential to utilize his vast arcane knowledge by means of somatic manipulations alone, he often employs the Xalious-wood stave as a means to channel even greater mystic power.
History
- The Eldermage Tiphareth D'Artes was raised in the Underdark, faithfully serving the Matriarchy for his first three centuries of life. As time passed by, the House grew in power... as did Tiphareth. Increasing their political clout through a series of risky raids upon the rival Houses, they eventually took position as First House of Krikstiel. Tiphareth in no way enjoyed his role, often forced into subservience toward far weaker priestesses; but he took advantage of the privileges available to loyal mages with significant ability. Tiphareth bided his time with the Matron, knowing that with each passing year his age became more of a limiting factor in the possibility of sacrifice to the Spider Queen; as they much favored the young, virile males as desirable gifts to Astrala. In time, Tiphareth became the House Wizard, earning some semblance of respect, if not fear, from the Priestesses and Matron.
- He was released from service by his Matron after the fall of his former House during a planned assault by a group of rival Houses. After many years roaming the wild-lands of the Underdark, he eventually made his way to discover the surface. He spent much time there, his curiosity leading him to learn about various cultures and races within the lands. After feeling he'd learned the bulk of what the surface had to offer, he returned to his home of the Underdark. He does frequent certain surface areas in order to keep tabs on political situations, and take advantage of the substantial trade opportunities there.
- After Trist'oth`s Matriarchy was rended weaker by the invasion of the Dark Immortals and subsequent invasion by the forces of the Archmosian Empire, Tiphareth joined with the forces of Patron Keter of House D'Artes, and eventually became a member of the House himself, serving as the House Wizard until the time of Keter's death. Tiphareth has now taken over the role as Patron for House D'Artes, leading the Underdark's First House and continuing the fight to return Drow glory and subdue the Matriarchy's return.
- The Drow aggression toward the elves of Sage escalated to full on war, resulting in the eventual exile of the Sage Elves from their homeland. Only a contingent of fighters led by the vampire Rikailin and elf Liana remained to defend the forest; Liana seemed to disappear into the shadows and Rikailin was defeated, marked and banished from the forest, effectively ending any meaningful rebellion to the exile.
- Tiphareth has completed the dark and lengthy process of becoming a Lich, finishing with a bevy of arcane rituals within the catacombs of House D'Artes to finally shake his mortal coil and transfer his soul to the the chosen phylactery.
- After a battle that led to the destruction of Tiphareth's body by his former student Svilfon, Tiphareth has abandoned his original form and since occupied the preserved corpse of former Patron Keter D'Artes from within the Catacombs of House D'Artes. After adopting this new form, the Lichdrow withdrew from the surface for many months, spending the vast majority of his time within his secretive keep in the depths of Trist'oth. This time was spent in fervent study and devotion; working to gain full mastery over the Forsaken Book of the Dead and increase favor with his dark patron, Vakmatharas.
Current RP
- Tiphareth is the highest ranking member of the Mage's Guild after the former Archmage Rheven stepped down and passed the torch to the Eldermage. Tiphareth tends to look down toward those who he views as boastful beyond their abilities, only a handful have earned his respect in the Arcane arts and he views himself as unequaled in Arcane knowledge.
- Tiphareth represents Trist'oth as a Leader of The Syndicate clan, a secret organization of the various Kings, Queens, Governors, and their closest agents within Hollow.
- As Patron of the First House D'Artes, Tiphareth leads Trist'oth and chairs the Drow Council, where he is currently working to restore the Drow's power and glory to its once lofty position.
