The hearty and unpredictable elf decided to stay with
Xaynon. He told the mul that he could not leave before
he satisfied his curiosity about which of them would have
won their match. Now, years later, Vandrellen remains at
Xaynon's side as a valued member of Salt View.
Vandrellen serves as a raiding party leader, employing
his skills as a ranger and warrior to best advantage. Like
many ex-slaves, the elf does not reveal much about his
past. Sometimes he gets a far-away look in his golden
eyes, and at those moments Xaynon wonders how much
longer his friend will remain with the village. Someday, he
believes, the elf will announce he is returning to his own
people. On that day, Xaynon will wish him well and try
not to show his sadness.
Like many of Salt View's inhabitants, Vandrellen loves
to perform on stage. He is an accomplished actor, easily
moving from one role to another with a skill that makes
many of the other actors jealous. He seems to have no
favorite type of role, for he approaches every kind of play
with equal relish.
Vandrellen escaped from Raam with
Xaynon after a short stint as a gladiator. When the elf
was taken as a slave, he refused to bend to the templars'
will. Vandrellen's lack of cooperation quickly landed him
in the arena, where it was decided that if he could
not serve a useful function he would at least provide
some entertainment in a gladiatorial bout. His speed and
fighting skills surprised everyone, though, and Vandrellen
won his first two matches. His next scheduled bout was
against Xaynon, but the two escaped before they were
forced to determine who was better.
