Esther Tasse - Grand Vizier of Solaris
High Elf- Mage - Female
Story:
When the Shadow War began Esther Tasse had been a high elven apprentice from the Academy of Delsworth. Through her training in the arcane she withstood the initial siege of vlotkin upon her place of study, though unlike most of her fellow survivors who fled to Brightwater she remained to recover what relics she could before the Undying Hordes could claim them as their own. Too late to find herself protected behind the Estlemerian wards Esther took it upon herself to lead those scholars who lingered behind to safety. She soon learnt that the world that she had been left in had no desire to deal with their kind.
The Shadow Dome around the island caused physical pain every time a caster invoked a spell and should one have fallen unconscious due to their arcane art they would become Undying. To the free folk magic was the means of the enemy; a caster was most often seen as either allied with the Undying Horde or soon to become part of it. Esther, however, knew that without the aid of the arcane upon the side of the living the Undying Hordes would conquer all. So it was that her students and she came to the land now known as Solaris, wherein they were inflicted with the public ire of the people whom they wished to protect. For centuries Esther endured routine torture by their inquisition along with physical torment in the form of brandings to prove that they only meant well.
Even as she was not appreciated in her time Esther Tasse is now highly regarded as one of the most influential mages of her generation. Through great adversity she fostered an environment of safe magical practice in civilization to counter the grip that the Undying held upon casters. One can be certain that without the might of the arcane that she led the mortals would have been crushed underneath it.
Death: During what was to be one of the final conflicts of the Shadow War Esther Tasse, who had only recently recognized with the auspicious title of Grand Vizier of the new Kingdom of Solaris, sacrificed herself in a ritual, to protect the people who hated her but for whom she cared.
