Orzan

Orzan was an elt responsible for the event widely known as the "Skyshatter," where the Lockean moon was ripped apart and hurled at Equis during the First Nexus War. He is also credited with bringing High magic back into regular use among his race.

Description
Typical of an elt, although it was said that following the Skyshatter the star-field appearance of his body featured a large moon resembling the Lockean moon he destroyed.

Personality
Orzan was known for his fierce racial pride and his deep hatred for Equis during the First Nexus War.

Abilities
Unlike many elts of his time, Orzan had access to High magic, specifically High death magic, which he was taught by Albrek Bane.

History
By the time of the First Nexus War, most elts had all but lost their once great knowledge of High magic, falling into use mainly as labourers in those parts of Noctis that forbade the use of High magic. Orzan resented this fate, and saw an opportunity when war broke out with Equis to regain what the elts had lost. He became a close friend and confidante of Albrek Bane, the kayal Immortal of death, and from him Orzan learned the secrets of High death magic.

But Orzan betrayed Albrek, using the magic he was taught to destroy the Lockean moon and with it, the material plane's connection to the Black Gates. In the process, he dramatically shortened the average lifespan of the kayal race, making him the most hated figure in that race's history.

The destruction of the moon, called the Skyshatter, was the largest singular event that contributed to the end of the First Nexus War. After it was over, Orzan began teaching others of his kind about High magic and how to regain their lost knowledge of it.

Rumors and Legends
