Destroyer of Ordanach
Citadelli's superior hunting and tracking skills paid off so well we were able to avoid many vicious plants and other hungry flying creatures that inhabited the area. But then, it was as if by magic, a group of those crusty scaly atrocious winged monsters descended upon us! Before I could even react Citadelli was in action. His Kerran-cat instincts were simply amazing. It was as if fire, lightning, and Tunare's own energy began to emanate from his being. |
Needless to say because Wrenii and I are obviously still here to share this story - Citadelli slew those foul beasts with such grace and cunning, we continued on to rescue the archeologist. Through these actions I too actually felt like a valiant hero! That is what I cherish about the times spent adventuring with Citadelli. Sure he was one of the original members of Timeless who were there to slay Ordanach and protect Antonica from the destruction such a powerful being could have bestowed upon our beautiful homeland. But even more intense is how he makes me and others feel about themselves when he's there. While he is obviously not the most powerful and strongest mortal I've had the privilege to walk with, he is humble, caring, energetic, and he inspires me to be half the hero he unwittingly is."
The Full Story of The Hunter, Citadelli, Destroyer of Ordanach
"I am Griblit, a fury Froglok seasoned to 50. But I am here to talk about my best friend. His name is Citadelli. We are in the magnificent guild the "Timeless". Citadelli is an usual cat. He's not the most powerful guy, wandering the woods, and he's content with that. He doesn't have the kind of gear or spells that cost him millions of platinum. Citadelli is a true Ranger of Tunare that seeks diligently to end the corruption plaguing Norrath, in order to make it a more peaceful and beautiful world.
"But this is not why I think Citadelli is a true hero of Norrath. Despite worldly distractions, he is a just plain and honestly a nice guy that is always willing to aid a friend. I am a simple frog. I like to adventure from time to time, but my true passion lies in painting. I don't go out and see the world the way many others do, and that's ok with me. I enjoy life the way I believe my Goddess Tunare intended. I am thankful for all the valiant hero's out there who have sustained our world making this possible, and feel fortunate that I, a humble little healer, get to rub shoulders with such amazing hero's that stride the halls of the Timeless guildhall.
"I was walking the streets of Qeynos when I was approached by a fellow Froglok that told me about the outer realm, where other Frogloks had been imprisoned by some dragon people named "Scaleborn" something or others. I was so excited I got a bard friend named Wrenii to go with me of about the same age and skill. In my preparations I told Citadelli of my bold endeavor. He silently nodded and looked over me and asked if he could accompany me and my companion. Through all of the adventures I've done with him, he's always been an exceptional mentor, and this time was no different. I don't think I could have even made it through my 20th season of becoming a Fury without his patience and support for all of the inept aptitude I've shown towards adventure!
"He led the way to the Tenebrous Tangle and we were quickly working to save captive Frogloks. I will never forget my first experience of setting my webbed foot in the Kingdom of Sky. It was such an amazing experience, incomparable to anything my wildest imaginations could ever conceive. The sky was wild, angry, and even had a different arc to it. The moon of Luclin was so vibrant and close I felt almost as if I could reach out to grab it. I could see from the occasional glance of Citadelli towards the shattered moon and that there was a certain amount of remorse and distant kinship that gave him extra energy and vigor against allowing that sort of destruction to happen again if he had any say in it.
"After the most harrowing dive - literally off the side of a cliff to plummet to my suspected doom, we landed in a pond on another floating island hundreds of feet below us. Without the confidence of Citadelli I would never have had the courage to take such a plunge. Man what a rush! After talking to some other refugees, we were off to save the captives of the vicious dragon like creatures. My nervousness was instantly dispelled by the fact we had to ride an actual cloud to get back from where we nearly plummeted to our deaths!

The Hand of Hatred
Bramdar T'Zareth grew up in Neriak under the wing of Loveal S'Nez. He learned the ways of the shadow knight in an unusual way – he was taught to use his own emotions to his advantage, and to draw out the hatred in others in order to destroy them. |
After becoming a full member of The Dead, Bramdar wasted no time in making a name for himself. He retrieved the legendary Dark Reaver from a fallen knight in Kunark. He recovered the Thex Mallet from the vaults of Befallen, securing the Thex line for Queen Cristanos. He discovered the lost secrets of Darkforge armor and returned them to The Dead. And he secured the trust of the Iksar of Cabilis, earning the fabled Greenmist.
