Group Affiliations: Sabre Legion Elite, Kriar High Council, Protectorate, Clan Felspar, Clan Frielos

Magical Skills: None

Tournament Rank: Quasar does not participate in tournament play. However, her eons of battle experience rank her with the most powerful warriors in the Ring Realms. Only a few creatures (such as the Eternals) or another high ranking Kriar (like Eclipse) could stand against her for more than a short time. Quasar is highly decorated warrior noted for her tenacity and brilliance in adverse conditions.

Information: Tarkath Diliaysus is a Kriar war veteran going back to the 3rd generation of Kriar after Fabrista Homeworld left the Kriar home star. She took the alias Quasar (her piloting callsign) early in her military career and has used that in place of her real name ever since. Quasar's military service is long and distinguished and she has been decorated many times for bravery and ingenuity in battle. As a commander she was particularly well known for her 'least damage' humanitarian initiatives. As time went on and power and policies shifted in the ruling dastas, Quasar turned bitter and angry, a once idealistic and noble officer lost respect for the governing body and in many ways lost faith in the race itself. Quasar had sacrificed much to become the best possible soldier in the defense of the Fabrista and all of her pleas for sanity were arrogantly disregarded. She fought a losing war against the Jyril and she along with the rest of the Kriar folk were made sterile through a form of 'curse' that resisted all technical means of reversal.

Even after the Jyril war, dasta Daergon had learned little from their mistakes and the people were suffering for it. Quasar felt that the 'sheep' that continued to allow themselves to be led by fools deserved their fate. Quasar resigned her active commission to work in the private sector. She did odd jobs as civilian transport pilot, as a detective, and spent some time in research and development working with Eladrazelle Delarn. Many of Quasar's sophisticated matrix enhancements are one-of-kind prototypes created by Eladrazelle.

Quasar's skills as a time diver and as an agent of the military internal affairs eventually pointed her in the direction of hiring out as temporal consultant, body guard, doing private investigation and bounty hunting. In her later years, her reputation and respect for life worsened and she became known also as an assassin for hire.

Quasar's relationship with Eclipse Shargris is nearly as long and complex as her relationship with the dastas. The two of them came up through the ranks together and were literally the last warriors standing in three major battles. The two of them have been witness to more Kriar deaths than all the other living Kriar officers currently serving the ruling dasta.

Dreadnought, Coven

Name: Dreadnought, Coven

Aliases: Coven Dreadnought, Juggernaughts, Dreadnought Titan

Inspired by: Will Greenway

Appears in: Gaea's Legacy: Savants Ascendant, Gaea's Legacy: The Infinity Annihilator

Occupation: Shock Troop

Birthplace: N/A

Hair: Variable

Eyes: Red (Luminescent)

Height: 9'

Weight: 1100 lbs

Unusual Features: Coven dreadnoughts are highly magical creatures that are the physical manifestation of dozens of Baronian mages working together in concert. The skin of the dreadnoughts is impervious to all but the most extraordinary damage. They are particularly resistant to energy. Dreadnoughts can be injured by powerful magical weaponry.

Dreadnoughts are incredibly strong, able to pulverize rock and deform thick metal. They can easily push ten or more tons of mass.

Age: N/A

Martial Status: N/A

Known Relatives: N/A

Group Affiliations: Baronian vanguard

Magical Skills: Coven dreadnoughts are themselves creatures of magic. Their brutish intellects are capable of only the most rudimentary reasoning.

Tournament Rank: Dreadnoughts are shock troops sent by the Baronian vanguard as a weapon of shock and awe. Possessing truly horrendous strength, speed and resilience, only a few creatures in the Realms can confront them in hand-to-hand combat.

Information: Coven dreadnoughts are a Baronian experiment that the Protectorate deems largely a failure. Originally designed to fight Kriar, these powerful juggernauts are all but impervious to the majority of weapons used by Kriar warriors and mecha. However, they are vulnerable to sufficiently powerful magical attack. The biggest drawback (and hence failure) of these creatures is that they tie up expensive magical resources and in the advent of their death cripple or kill the valuable personnel used to animate them. It is obvious that the Baronians never anticipated one, much less scores, of these creatures being defeated as happened in the defense of Kul'Amaron.

A special type of dreadnought dubbed a 'dreadnought titan' was utilized in the latter stages of the siege of Kul'Amaron. This was an even larger more powerful form of these creatures. Only two were sighted, and both were destroyed. Both were slain by Bhaal a Lokori working in the defense of Gaea.

Falor, Talorin "Tal"

Name: Falor, Talorin "Tal"

Aliases: Force Commander

Inspired by: Brad Trusso

Appears in: Shaladen Chronicles: A Knot in Time, Shaladen Chronicles: Anvil of Sorrow, Shaladen Chronicles: Who Mourns the Creator, Savant's Blood: Shadow of the Avatar, Savant's Blood: Hecate's Bounty, 'Neath Odin's Eye, Gaea's Legacy

Occupation: Professional Adventurer

Birthplace: Kron Hills, Eastern Grayhawk

Hair: Dark Brown

Eyes: Brown

Height: 6'7"

Weight: 330 [720]

Unusual Features: As a long time wielder of Shaladens, and possessor of a soulname talisman, Tal's physiology has been permanently altered giving him extended life, increased strength, and resistance to harm. Tal was the avatar of Eternal Garn, the strongest of the Eternals, for almost a decade and this relationship greatly increased his physical strength on a permanent basis. He is physically the second strongest Shael Dal (next to Algernon the current avatar of Garn). As the Avatar of Nethra, he can increase his physical power at will.
Tal, is the gate-master of Shael Dal, and can manipulate portals through time and space by force of will. This control makes him immune to the majority of time-space effects in addition to the chronal immunity possessed by other Shael Dal.

Age: 54

Martial Status: Married (Terra Karlin Falor)

Known Relatives: None

Group Affiliations: Protectorate, Falorian Fighting Academy, Kel'Ishtauri Bard School, Scarlet Talons

Magical Skills: Tal is a magician in name only. Learning the skills of mages in order to better combat them and use their itemry. He has mastered a limited repertoire of spells that he wields with arch-mage level power. Being first and foremost a warrior being able to cast spells, and use the legendary spell-bows of the Death Spectacles makes him a formidable opponent indeed.

Tournament Rank: Tal is common competitor in the All-World's Tournament and holder of top position titles in the 12th, 13th, and 14th circle challenges. He competes regularly in unlimited class combat and rarely fails to reach elimination rounds even versus elder opponents. His shaladen enhanced toughness, instinct for battle, and gifted skills with the powerful Dan Sadad fighting style make him a challenge even for immortal challengers.

Information: Talorin Falor is one of the more storied figures in the Ring Realms, a warrior with a truly mythical ability to find himself in the 'hotspots' of legends in the making. Tal's history is a complex knot of twists and turns that involves many enterprises and tragedies. After a few seasons spent treasure hunting, Tal retired while still young to invest his gold and become a businessman. He ended up in the unlikely role as the proprietor of a brothel, an enterprise he shared with his adventuring partner Kaas Windsbane. The two men, while running a house of ill repute, were known as the 'softest touches in town'. They never bound their girls to contracts, nor did they ask more than a token percentage of any fees collected. In fact, the two men even helped their 'girls' get 'legitimate' work should the seamy life no longer appeal. Perhaps it was this low-pressure approach that made their business so successful. The endeavor was not to last, Tal grew bored and started looking for adventure again. He took up with king Tradeholm's eastern front regulars as an experienced captain. It was during this tour of duty that he met and fell in love with an Elven woman named Deirde Silkere. Tal continued his borderland tour and kept house with Deirde for several seasons. What might have been an idyllic life for the warrior turned tragic when raiding parties from the east realm overran several villages and cities along the border. Tal and the troops under his command were quick to respond, and over a period of days drove back the enemy. It was during this conflict that Tal showed mercy to one of the enemy commanders. An act of altruism which would see an entire village of elves sacked as revenge, and result in the loss of his wife of only a few seasons. This experience would harden the man for the many adventures to come.

After this harsh lesson, Tal's tactics and demeanor took on a darker tone, the bitterness over his loss one not quickly forgotten or left behind. He went back to active adventuring and campaigning now in a more serious vein. It was shortly after that he met up with members of the Band of the Crescent Moon, and learned more of the Death Spectacles run by Meridian Arcturan. He met Beia Targallae and T'Gor D'Shar and began assisting them in shutting down the arenas. It was during this time that Tal began adding to his fighting skills, learning to combat the arena pit fighters on their own ground. He began studying and mastering the harsh art of the Dan Sadad.

During the cycles that followed Tal would be involved in the recovery of the amulet of Tarkimaar, he would fight all manner of creatures from adamantium golems to skellar. He would take part in the revival of the Eternals slain by Garfang, and help organize many of the quests to recover the Shaladen swords. He himself would recover the shaladen blade Warstar. He would foray repeatedly in the cities of Dream Merchants and even fight the rogue elements belonging the deposed Kriar leader Daergon Surr.

Tal's hard heart would soften and their would be romantic interludes with Desiray Illkaren (then single) and Dominique Ariok. However, it was a fellow Shael Dal, Terra Karlin whom he often adventured with that eventually captured his eye and heart. After a courtship of several seasons, they would become the second married couple in the Shael Dal (T'Gor and Tigress being the first).

Tal's adventures would continue. He became a key figure in the Shael Dal, the indomitable spirit to succeed against all odds. He would prove instrumental in several missions including a special cooperative mission with the Fabrista Kriar to Karanganoi homeworld, where they would learn of the Baronians and their mysterious 'masters'.

Tal remains active in the Shael Dal and few would dispute his being their spiritual core. He and his wife Terra continue their efforts to remove all traces of the Arcturan death spectacles. Tal created several schools for adventurers, that serve as sources of income as well as recruiters for the various causes that he takes part in.
