Appearance: Lalaverna is small for a rockseer, standing just 5' 10" and only weighing a petite 110 pounds. She has long, straight silk-like silver hair and piercing ice-blue eyes. Lalaverna wears fine, white and baby blue clothing, and a large amount of jewelry. She carries a stone staff and wears a large black cloak when traveling.

Personality: Lalaverna is calm, quiet, and extremely cautious. She hates violence and will run away and hide, unless there is a rockseer in need of her help. Lalaverna has a good sense of humor, a rarity among rockseers. She also enjoys exploring and seeing new and strange things.

Experience: 3,983,875.

Experience For Next Level: 4,125,000.

Locales Frequented: The High Forest, the Golden Enclave grounds, or anywhere in the Underdark where rockseer elves need her help.

History: Lalaverna was born on the fourth day of Mirtul, during the Year of the Dark Dawn (1104 DR). She quickly became a powerful wizard and fled to find the "other elves," but what she found was the drow! They kept her as a slave and she stayed to steal their magic. After a dramatic escape, she found her way back home. Upon her arrival, she saw the drow massacring her clan. She managed to save 20 rockseers, but her family was slain. After that she traveled the Underdark in search of others like her, in the hopes that her clan is not the only rockseers left.

Five decades later, she came across a wounded rockseer, and after returning him home, learnt that the rockseers have met with the surface elves. And when it came time to chose a new liaison to the surface, she volunteered without thought. Since she has been on the surface, she has formed a unique friendship with the wild elves of the High Forest. On her way to her home in the Underdark, she was captured by Tremble and the drow of House Barrison Del'Armgo on their journey to kill surface elves. Freed by Corellon Larethian, she fled back into the Underdark.

Upon returning home, she formed a conclave of chiefs to stop the extinction of the rockseers. She modeled the Conclave after Lord-Prince Piper's Golden Enclave, in which she is a minor member of it's conglomerate. As the Conclave was formed, Lalaverna was approached by Darahl Firecloak and asked to a Silver Crown, agreeing to it, she now visits the High Forest often.

Motivations/Goals: Lalaverna's goals are simple, to ensure the survival of her clan and the rockseer elves.

Campaign Uses: The liaison to the surface races, Lalaverna is a good person to guide goodly elves back to the surface from the Underdark. Otherwise, she is a good way to introduce the rockseer elves into the campaign.

Unique Abilities:

  • Darahl's Blessing: Lalaverna has the constant protection of eyes of the unsun, and can control golems made of earthen materials at will (this ability requires concentration).


    Dredzel (stone dragonet familiar): Int 18; AC -2; HD 2+20; hp 36; #AT 3; Dmg/AT 1d3/1d3/1d4; SA eyebite glare 1/day; SD +2 vs. mind attacks, detect invisibility (100 rds.), improved invisibility, polymorph into a riding lizard 1/week (for 20 turns), sense of direction at will, spider climb, wraithform; MR 25%.

    Dredzel is Lalaverna's stone dragonet familiar. He has ruby eyes, has 75% resistance to elemental Earth spells, and immunity to petrification, illusions, gaseous attacks, poison, paralyzation, and spells that affect corporeal bodies. It gives her a +2 bonus to her armor class, and heightens her senses, so that she cannot be surprised. Furthermore, Dredzel can talk in a gravelly voice and can speak any language he knows. He currently knows the following languages: Common, Drow, Dragon, Dwarven, Elven, Illithid, and Undercommon. All above special defenses are usable each once per day, unless otherwise specified.

    She has worked many stone rituals and magics to add to his strength, granting him far more abilities that a common stone dragonet familiar of the rockseer people. The sense of direction ability grants it a 90% accurate reading of true north. If wrong, roll for direction identified as north: 1 and 2 as east, 3 and 4 as south, and 5 and 6 as west. Once wrong, Dredzel will continue to call the wrong direction for an entire day.
