Luthias Qinorin

Guild Master
NPC
Rock of Bral in Tears of Selune
The Guild Master exudes a sense of confidence and self-assurance that comes from years of honing his skills as a thief before he elevated to his station. His 5’10” sinewy and athletic build is a testament to his rigorous training regimen, which includes extensive physical conditioning and martial arts. Despite his refined and polished appearance, there is a subtle aura of danger that surrounds him, hinting at his lethality and deadly precision.

His long wheat blonde hair, which he keeps in a braid down his back, along with his fawn skin gives him an air of otherworldliness. His lime green eyes are an enthralling feature that seem to glint with amusement or cunning, depending on his mood. All his facial features are chiseled and elegant, with high cheekbones, a straight nose, and sharp jawline. The pointed ears, a hallmark of his High Elf heritage, are adorned with simple gold hoops that accentuate his Elven features.

Luthias' choice of weapons and gear also reflects his attention to detail and practicality. He wields an ornate longbow that he has customized to suit his specific needs, the bow itself is made of a rare wood with a subtle curve that allows for maximum tension and accuracy when fired. The limbs are wrapped in dark leather for a better grip and reinforced with a thin layer of mithril to increase their strength. One of the most interesting features is the small emeralds set into it in a tree motif. The emeralds are carefully cut and polished to give them a brilliant shine, and are set in a pattern that resembles the branches of a tree spreading out across the bow. This motif is not only ornamental, but also serves as a reminder to Luthias of the connection he has to the natural world and the importance of balance in all things. The bowstring is also of the highest quality, made of enchanted spider silk that is nearly unbreakable. He takes great care to keep his bowstring well-maintained, ensuring that it remains taut and responsive at all times.

His quiver is also a marvel of craftsmanship. It is made from the pliable hide of the rare Bullet, a creature known for its thick, resilient skin. The hide has been treated and reinforced to ensure that it will not tear or wear down over time, and it is also waterproof to protect the arrows within. The quiver has several compartments for storing arrows of different types and sizes, including specially crafted arrows that Luthias uses for his Arcane Trickster spells. The compartments are lined with a soft material to prevent the arrows from rattling and clinking against each other, which could give away Luthias' position when he is trying to remain hidden. What sets Luthias' quiver apart, however, is the intricate embroidery on its surface. The embroidery depicts a tree motif with small emeralds set into it, matching the design on his longbow. The emeralds shimmer in the light and seem to glow with an inner light, adding to the quiver's beauty. Luthias is very protective of his quiver and takes great care to keep it in pristine condition. He is constantly checking and adjusting the arrows to make sure they are secure and easily accessible. The quiver strapped to his belt is not only a functional item for Luthias, but also a work of art that he takes great pride in. He also carries hidden daggers in various locations on his person, including a pair of curved poisoned blades strapped to his upper thighs.

When not in his space faring Moonshadow Guild leathers, Luthias prefers to dress in expensive clothing that is both stylish and practical for his profession. He typically wears a long, flowing coat made of black leather, which he has enchanted to make it more durable and resistant to damage. The coat is also lined with hidden pockets, which allow him to store his various tools and equipment. Underneath his coat, he wears a tailored silk forest green shirt with a black vest, black pants, black gloves and black boots are made from sturdy leather and have been designed to be quiet and non-slip, allowing him to move quickly and quietly over any terrain. He also wears a wide-brimmed hat that is adorned with a silver feather, which he uses to conceal his identity when necessary.

The High Elf’s appearance is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail, practicality, and refinement. He is well-spoken and has a silver tongue, which allows him to convince even the most reluctant people to join his organization’s interests.
