    Any chance of a top down mini for this one ?
    Sorry, no. I rather move onwards. Besides this guy is a scholar and so it would be rare to encounter him in a conflict situation.


    ==============


    Beslan The White is a leader of a band of Red Hoof Centaurs positioned in the Red Hoof forest very near Irontown. Their job is to put pressure on the dwarves so that the "little bearded people" know that centaur tribes need to be taken seriously. Beslan is a double rarity among the centaurs. Firstly he is an albino centaur and secondly he is an albino centaur who has been able to gain power in his tribe. Beslan was born on the northern shores of Moonlight Meres which is the only known location where albino centaurs born. Centaurs themselves estimate that about a total of 20 albino centaurs are alive today and every one of them was born on the shores of Moonlight Meres. Many of the albinos are outcasts living as hermits, but a few have had enough confidence and health to advance in their tribe. Beslan has had the advantage of fiercely colored hair and mane which has had a great impact on the Red Hoofs accepting him as one of their own.

    Beslan is utterly devoted and takes his duties very seriously. He is not likely to bail out on even the toughest of situations and a few of his underlings have gained lots of courage and sheer fierceness just by serving under him. His devotion is one of the reasons he has been positioned where he is now. Centaur tribal elders know that they need centaurs like Beslan to keep the dwarves at bay. Beslan's pack is comprised of 12 male centaurs all of whom are trained as light cavalry soldiers. They are rarely all located in one place. Their travelling speed makes it easy for the centaur packs to separate into smaller patrolling units and later on gather together for short periods for briefing and debriefing. The unit is mostly just there to maintain a presence just on the outskirts of dwarven territory and one of their orders is to actually let the dwarves know they are there - by any means necessary that do not violate the contracts between the Red Hoofs and dwarves of the Irontown.

    Thanks. Actually I've been posting and making editings in the Wiki myself. As time permits.

    Post How about a vampire?

    I am curious to see what you'd create for a mongol-influenced slavic vampire, the Boyar-Prince Casimir Darkov of Darkovia. Perhaps some of the arabic merchant princes of Calishem as well - all within the Khanate of Qashya Mal. Far to the east of the rest of Ansium. Calishem is the crossroads between east and west.

    I've no idea what Casimir Darkov is supposed to be like (what age, demeanor, attitude, etc). Wihout any knowledge about Casimir Darkov, this is something that I came up with. Perhaps it's not what Gamerprinter envisioned and if so, I'm sure we can fit this guy into CWBP somewhere anyway. I didn't want him to be showing his vampiric teeth - it's such a cliche having all the vampires do that.

    I'm sure Gamerprinter has some background to fill on Casimir, so I'm not making up any stories about him.

    He's perfect. Everything I have to say about Casimir is already in the Wiki. Any stories that fit the basic premise set there is fine with me.

    Well done! That's better than I imagined him to be!

    Location: Witchlight Strand
    Race: Elf
    Name: Coroth Orlethym

    Coroth is one of the many elves of Liaglades whose sole purpose is to protect the fabled city of Laradell from outsiders. All the members of the house of Orlethym serve the same purpose and there are also other houses dedicated to the same duty, but from a different perspective. Orlethym elves are ground-based scouts and trained footsoldiers. Their area of responsibility is modestly the whole Liglades forest itself. Coroth is part of a group of seven blood-bound elven scouts constantly on the move somewhere in the forest. All the members of Coroth's group are related to each other and their bond is further enhanced by a sort of non-verbal communication akin to telepathy that is impossible for outsiders to understand. It is not uncommon for strangers to encounter House Orlethym patrols only to find that they have been quietly and efficiently surrounded.

    The scouts have a primary objective to keep the Liaglades forest free from outside influence, but their methods are primarily non-violent unless the situation warrants it. Therefore outsiders are merely gently but sternly escorted out of the Liaglades forest and violent activity comes only after the trespassers have refused to obey the elven patrollers. The elves of Liaglades do not allow even passing trade routes to go thru Liaglades and hence most of the forest remains unpenetrable and hostile to non-elves.

    Coroth is an elven male well beyond 300 years (some consider him still to be adolescent) with an experience patrolling the Liaglades passing 100 years. He therefore knows the ins and outs of the forest. On the other hand, his duties has prevented him from travelling outside the forest and like many of his brethren, the only things he knows of the outside world are the stories that more adventuring-oriented elves bring with them.

    Coroth was born in the heart of the legendary city of Laradell. He was adopted to House Orlethym at the age of 20 much and his biological parents were proud to see their son enter the Orlethym house. Coroth has focused his training mostly on scouting skills and has not trained combat skill much. His weapon of choice is a long-bladed elven fighting spear and his skills with other weaponry are rather weak - considering his profession, of course. However, it is not uncommon to see Coroth just simply disappear into the woods and moments later realise he and his spear are right behind you. Coroth visited Laradell last year spending a month in the city attending several festivities. He does not have any descendants or a wife waiting for him, but that is a common feature within the tradition of the Orlethym house. Coroth is proud of his ancestry and considers his race and origins to be superior compared to anything else in existence.
