Zendria Rayshine's grandfather, and head-Reghir/Priest of the Church of Merikira in the Central Temple in Argentis. One of the few people who survived The Great Wasting who are still alive to this day. Arilki originally was in Aesil during and after the Wasting, and witnessed its destruction by a cabal of chromatic dragons, which he doesn't like talking about. This attack also is what gave him his many, many scars and injuries, and turned him into a Tirrdaka. After surviving his hardships, even if only by a thread, he fled to Argentis, where he eventually started the Central Temple with another surviving colleague of his, Iridu Sunnis, Head-Tylar of the Reformed Rencalist Church of Argentis.
