For some time What he saw did not impress him much, Like many elves, he found humans foolish and their encroachment on nature dis turbing. Always eager for adventure, he agreed to help a party cof human warriors deal with a band of marauding grolls. The sgnolls’ strength proved greater than supposed; the human ‘warriors were killed, and Vartan was captured for sacrifice. The gnolls had the misfortune to stumble across Prism Agrivar, ‘who vanguished them and freed Vartan, Vartan swore to do all Jn his power to aid Agrivar as Agrivar had aided him. Shorly jreafter Agrivar joined the Resins Mastir, so Vartan did so as well. Vartan was now among heroes, both noble and brave, and he found himself forced to reevaluate humans. His friend ship with the crew changed his outlook on everything, even his relationship to his own god, During the Time of Troubles Vartan served as the avatar for his god, Labelas Enoreth, Labelas’s evil treatment of Vartan’s friends (while in Vartan’s body) led to a falling, out between the cleric and his god, Labelas came to repent of his actions, greatly desiring Vartan to return to his, ith. Several years later, god and elf were reconciled fully. Var- ‘an now serves in Arvandor, Labelas's realm in Arborea Equipment: Holy symbol, mace, full plate armor. Magical items: General power key of healing from Labelas. Roleplaying notes: Vartan has the most amazing ability to put his foot in his mouth, Whether he is trying to be wity, appear ‘well-informed or just exhibiting elven snobbery, he always manages to say something callous, insensitive, or snotty. This sift lingers on despite having seen some of the errors of hi ater the trauma he suffered as his god's avatar—a lifetime of habit is hard to break. Vartan has an eye for the ladies, and Ihuman ladies are no exceptions. He prefers dalliances to true romance; no one has yet captured his heart. Vartan is net partic ularly introspective and prefers activities to occupy his thoughts. The elf is a clever and valiant combatant, Vartan, shows courtesy to any beings who are reasonably courteous, themselves. He ties his best in an unassuming way to wean his fellow elves from their many prejudices against humans, hop- ing to sow peace and understanding between the races, for the betterment ofall DRAGON 247 + 79
