Vadim Ardovich
|
Nordmanner (Artelund)
|
|
|
|
"Nord Zauber Crafty and Sly
He Looks To the Left
Master of Minds and Teller of Lies
Yet Moves To the Right
Hidden Hands and Glinting Eyes
But A Loyal Friend and Needed Ally"
|
|
|
A Master of the Brotherhood of Stahryc, an esoteric society of Spellweavers that
exists in the Nordmanner lands, Vadim is a wily and creative man of many talents,
some more upright than others.
|
|
In addition to his modest but flexible magic, he is rarely at a loss for knowing
just the thing or person to get into or out of a tight spot, and his understanding
of how things really work in the often corrupt and decadent cities of the Nordmanner
counties was of great aid to the Arrows quest while they were in the Nordmanner
lands. Vadim proved to be the only one of the allies the group acquired in the Nordmanner
arc of their quest who remained loyal to the group from start to finish, and though
he did get them into some difficulties from time to time, he was also good at getting
them out.
|
|
Its quite possible that without Vadim's aid the Arrows would not have been as successful
as they were in hunting down Ketkis in the foreign lands of the Nordmanner.
|
|
After Ketkis was finally run to ground and slain and the Machtig prepared to leave
the Nordmanner lands Vadim parted company with them, though he promised his friendship
and aid should they ever return.
|
|
Vadim and Kjar in particular proved to be close friends, and it is likely due to
this friendship that Vadim proved to be as helpful as he was, as he did not profit
or benefit from the groups efforts in the slightest.
