Iorleth

Iorleth was a Half-Elven wizard, formerly a member of the Magisterium.

He was a reputed eccentric (or madman, depending upon the kindness of the person asked), and lived alone in a shack on the outskirts of Snapdragon Wood. The shack was full of empty shelves, and a cooking pot which Iorleth claimed to use for divination purposes, citing 'the smoke' as the source of many of his predictions.

He died shortly after meeting Torben and Loras, having been shot by assassins.

Meeting the Party
Regin, Van and Tarion met Iorleth on April 3rd, 571. He seemed forgetful, easily distracted and wont to repeat himself. On April 4th, the three met Torben and Loras on their way to see Iorleth.

This time, his mind seemed clearer, though he was still plagued by distraction and vagueness. He warned the party that they were about to take their first steps on a hero's journey, and that this was a road not easily abandoned. He gave some of the members of the party what seemed to be prophecies concerning their futures, near and far.

After some further exposition about saving the world, and some subtle innuendo about striking hearts, Iorleth is shot through one of the windows of his hovel. The apparent assassins resisted arrest, but two of them were apprehended and sent to Lord Antonius to face justice.
