Antillado Sarkozy

Antillado is a Cleric played by David Jaramillo. He is an older character and an elf. He is a different kind of character, and his past is lengthy and it will give the chance to incorporate someone with over 300 years of history in his life. This gives me time to develop a character and write a story. He is a character in Black Diamond, Shining Sea. He is not your typical sailor, let's hope he does well.

Description
Antillado is 5”6 weighing at 120 lbs. He is older and he is skinny, but he is not feeble though. He looks stronger than a venerable person. He has long blonde hair that is beginning to gray. His hair is long and straight and has more a silver complexion to it. Antillado has dull blue eyes, close to gray, and longer than average face. He has well designed white tan robes eloquently designed with flowing lines and designs along the sleeves and with a clear mark of his deity on them. When dressed for battle he has full plate armor and a large steel shield. Antillado usually has an inquisitive and calm expression and usually has his eyes half open with his head leaning backwards slightly.

Personality
Antillado is an inquisitive well reserved person. He almost always keeps his calm in any situation. He seems very refined, but he is well traveled. Throughout his life, he is seen most things that can happen, happen. This helps him remain calm in situations that most people haven’t experienced. Antillado is social able person for and elf and enjoys the sharing of past actions. Stories allow him communicate knowledge and Antillado is a very curious person. If there is something that he does not know anything about he is very curious to find it out. To him, there is nothing worth more than knowledge. Through his age and experiences, Antillado is brutally honest. He finds no reason anymore in his life. He enjoys sharing his secrets as stories and sees no reason to use deception as a strategy. Other than the use of witty sarcasm, Antillado is always honest.

Story of Birth
Slightly over 342 years ago. Four elven figures enter the Anauroch to meet with one man. The sand is blowing hard as they enter the hazardess terrain. Antillado is not born yet but the time is very close. He is expected to come at anyday now. Antillado's mother is in the middle of the group staggering behind. Andtillado's father is in the lead as the son and daughter stay on each side of their mother. In the distance they can see the City of Shade. This is not their destination, but they are far closer to the city than they should. In the distance they see a man that looks like a half elf in black and silver robes. He smiles at group with an evil grin. The head of the group of four stands out to speak with the individual. This person is an elf, but he seems rather robust and energetic for an elf. He has a stalky build and he is actually happy to see this person. He intoduces himself to the half elf as Aldric Sarkozy. He looks at the man and tells him to show his true form. At that instant, the half elf transforms into a tall human. This man is in red and gold robes with the symbol of Oghma on his chest. The only thing he has in his hand a book called the "Living Biography". He greets Aldric like they haven't spoken in hundreds of years. This man introduces himself to the rest of the family as Robert Proverb Daydominico. Aldric wondered why Robert would set the meeting here and why he would assume the form of that half-elf. Robert knew that the nature of his words could decide the fate of Cormanthor. He chose to have the meeting close to the City of Shade because most sane people would never go there. His form was of an evil half elven cleric called Dhansis Khaldun. He was a character that most people would not want to pursue and he and Aldric had hisory together. Aldric was ashamed of his past, but it would be one of his driving forces to make him an advocate of good.

Aldric asked to talk to Robert about Cormanthor. Aldric is very concerned about the future of Cormanthor. He believes that the drow are coming back, but the elves do not heed his warnings. Aldric said that he had a dream from his deity that the drow would return. Robert confirmed his fears with his prediction based on his knowledge of the prophecy. Robert also told them that the drow would specifically attack the Elven Court and target the Myth Drannor. The Myth Drannor was a large concentration of High Elven magic in the past. Powerful elves with the aid of Elminster helped lead to present state of the Myth Drannor What is left are ruins from a long pasted battle against the drow. The magic of the Myth Drannor constantly weakens, but it is still very powerful. Aldric didn't know what the targets would be, but it made sense that the drow would be after the Myth Drannor again. Aldric wants to know if there is any way to save Cormanthor. Robert confirms Aldric's fears by telling him that the drow cannot be reasoned with. The drow that are coming to the surface are desparate. They will not be resoned with. The only way to stop them is through violence. The drow here have the history of loosing the elves and being banished to the Underdark. These drow also have a history of loosing a civil war and being banished from the Underdark. These drow only have enemies. Aldric was a member of the council inside the Elven Court in Cormanthor. Was there anything he could tell the council that would help. Robert said that the only way to help was to show the council that they would need to fight. The council would need to know that only the most horrible methods could defeat the drow. They are brutally efficient and have no honor. Even the slightest restraint will lead to failure against them. The news was as bad as he feared. Aldric asked to teleport back, but Robert would suggest that using magic would not be a good idea until they were further from the City of Shade.

On the way back, Robert told them when the problem was likely to resurface. During this time, Aldric’s wife, Angelique was gave birth to her youngest son Antillado Sarkozy. He spent his first few days traveling through the Anauroch before they left. After they left the Anauroch, Robert teleported the family back to their home in Cormanthor. Aldric and Robert talked again about plans, just incase the prophecy would come true. After they were done, Robert said his goobyes and bid them farewell. When Aldric returned after the meeting he insisted that one his childen would move to the High Forest, and that another would move to the Desert in Calimsham. Aldric told the members of his family about his plans, but they were shocked that their father took Robert's words so seriously. Antillado’s older brother, Bastien Augusto Sarkozy would be the one who moves to the Desert in Calimsham, and his older sister Desiree Sarkozy would move to the High Forest.

Antillado Sarkozy was born at the Anauroch, born Summertide 12 DR 1031

Early Childhood
This is a time that encompasses the first 60 years of his life. An elf at this age is already physically developed, but he was did not have that many life experiences. He lived happily in Cormanthor, without any knowledge of the conversation with Robert. Aldric raised his new son to take his place in the council. Both Antillado’s parents and his siblings would help him develop into the kind of person who would act in Aldric’s stead if he were to die. His childhood was peaceful in the tree tops of in the Elven Court. Robert told Aldric about drow's goals to take the Myth Drannor. Since the Myth Drannor as in the same region as the Evlen Court, Aldric was very worried about Antillado's wellbeing. Antillado was a very spiritual child with interest in the past and in heavens. Aldric thought it would be right to have this child become a cleric and learn more about the church. Aldric did not follow a religion for a good dela of his life. While working as a sailor, an elf told him to pray to the elven god of the water for saftey. This was as close to a religion that Aldric would have. He read more about his patron deity in Cormanthor and wanted Antillado to prat to this deity. Aldric did not want Antillado to know about the troubles of his past. Aldric had a very troubled past and he did want Antillado to live the same kind of life he did. Aldric was happy to see his follow in his footstepts though. He did not tell Antillado about he troubles of his past, but he did teach him how to be a sailor. As a child, Antillado was very sheltered. Considered all the people educating him, he was clueless about the troubles of the region. Aldric made sure that Antillado would not know about the drow. During Antillado's life the news about the drow was no longer just a prophecy between some of the wisest beings, but it became a impending presence getting larger and more noticeable. Though there was no sign of an invasion, their presence was known by the elves in the Elven Court.

Middle Childhood and Lies come out
Antillado has been matured for a while, but he still felt like he was a child. During this time, Antillado started meeting new people and started doing new things. He was given more freedoms that he didn't have when he was younger. He started making friends that were not already friends with his family. Aldric wanted to tell the truth to Antillado by having him slowly learn about things. Aldric was not counting on Antillado being as curious as he was. It was clear that the news in the area involved things Antillado didn’t know. Antillado knew about humans, but he didn't know that they had deals with Cormanthor. He never saw other races or knew anything about the historical alliances within Cormanthor. Antillado never knew about the conflicts in Cormanthor also. It was clear when talking to the other people, that he knew very about this region's history. Antillado thought his father was teaching him everything. Antillado repeatedly heard of a race that caused great despair to the elves. The word drow came up often; it was a word he didn’t know. Antillado has heard said in secret meetings between other older elves and his father. After hearing his father utter those words, Antillado knew that his father knew the truth. His father knew the truth, but he wasn't telling Antillado the truth. Antillado began to realize what was going on in his life. He was learning only what his family wanted him to learn, and he was clueless about the rest of the world. He learned everything wrong and his family lied to him the whole time.

Antillado demanded that he speak with his father. He was furious. He felt like he was fool. Aldric tried to approach this in a calm manner. He wanted to calm Antillado down, but there was not reasoning with Antillado. Aldric wanted to keep his composure, but he caved in. He apoligized and admitted to his lies. Antillado couldn't believe what he was hearing. Antillado seemed out of control; breaking things and yelling. He didn't know what to think. Many parents speak some lies to their kids, but Antillado was so sheltered far more than most people. He had no idea what the world was like at all. Just outside of his home, the world seemed like a completely different place. Aldric grew impatient subdued his son. He hold his son down and and exclaimed "Enough! Son! That is enough from you.  I will admit blame for my deception.  It is not fair, there are always good reasons to lie and know when to share knowledge, but in this case, I was just afraid.  I did not want to let you know everything that was wrong.  When I lived here, my life was perfect, problem free, but I lived a life before that.  My life was not the tale I made it out to be.  Let me begin with my life.  I was born in the Calimsham.  That is true, but I lived with only a few other elves, and I was part of a company thieves.  I pillaged, and I killed people.  I was born into a life where that was the correct way to live.  Those who were not strong enough to fight us off lost everything, and those that fought back hard enough we killed to make sure they wouldn’t become a problem in the future.  Life was important only in the present. Even while I lived that life, I had a guilty conscious. I was a desert raider and my group also traveled near the shores. I was a bad man. The leader of my group was a drow that got a powerful item from a man called Dhansis Khaldun. When I met him when I raised ranks in my group. He was 150 years older than I was, but he looked the same age at the time, I was young still and I made an agreement with his master. His name was Mellatusigg Pelgratarim. I never saw this monster or anything like him. To this date I still don't know what he was. These are monsters like Dragons, only far more savage and evil. They aren’t just selfish, they live for deception and suffering. I lived like this for exactly 175 years. As I matured, I learned more about other life styles and tried to escape this lifestyle. A man saved me, a man that we attacked. This man was far beyond our group, his name was Robert Proverb Daydominico. He was a wise human that allowed me to leave. He told me of two places that I could go where I could live as elves do. He saved everyone there that wanted to be saved, and killed those that didn’t. He told me two places I could go, the High Forest or Cormanthor. I went to Cormanthor first. I met your mother and that is why I live here. I visited the High Forest with her, that is also a great place to live, but since she had family there, it became a common place to visit. It was some time before I told anyone in Cormanthor about my past. That is a lot of the truth I was afraid to tell you. " Aldric's words hit deep.  Antillado could not believe that he was hiding all this.  He wanted to know about the outside news that he missed.  Antillado was stunned.  Aldric continued.  He spoke of his life as torture.  The only way to life was to immerse yourself into your surroundings.  To live in such an evil place, means you have to become evil.  Most evles do not know what that means.  Aldric said that he wanted to tell Antillado the truth, but he just had a hard time admitting that he was an adult.  Aldric did not want his time to end.  He knew that when Antillado was an adult, that it would be time to step down from the council.  Aldric also had a hard time accepting his past.  He did not want to good and spiritual son to know know about the atrocities he did in the past.  Aldric admitted his own weakness there.  He was afraid to have his own son hate him.  Aldric said that he made it his business to deal with the drow because he thought that he connected with them. The leader of his old raiding group was a drow. Hezz Ahdminajed would become Aldric's good friend before Robert saved Aldric from his life. Aldric believed that he understood how they felt and what they thought. This gave Aldric the incentive to become a member of the council. Aldric would also tell Antillado everything he knew about the conflict with the drow. Aldric has removed the curtain protecting Antillado from the world. After a long conversation that lasted for several more hours, Antillado was able to learn the truth and his father was able to know that he was accepted by his own son. At this time, Antillado started attending the council meetings for the Elven Court. Aldric became far more calm and seemed for more mortal to Antillado. Antillado never said it, but a part of him wasn't sure if that was the truth. As more time passed, he would get better at reading people and he would realize the burden lifted from Aldric when he was able to tell Antillado about his past.

Before Adulthood
Antillado followed his father around and learned more about the current news. He and his father started to think of solutions together for problems in Cormanthor. Problems like the drow, and the seemingly inevitable decrease of the magic within Cormanthor. Camps of unknown origin started appearing and they were suspected to be drow camps. Those in the council know that Aldric have been talking to the guardian of the High Forest and other elders there. Aldric was beginning to set up for his plan. He needed to contact the people in the High Forest and in the Desert in Calimsham. Aldric's actions were suspicious. Ever since the council figured out about his past; they have kept a close eye on Aldric. They soon began to suspect that Aldric would betray them for an easy way out of the conflict with the drow. Since they knew that Aldric was once allied with a drow; they thought that he could be a spy of the drow. Aldric never told the council that he left for the Anauroch when Antillado was born either. As they heard more about the drow, they saw less of Aldric. Aldric was the one that advocated peace to towards the drow. The other members of the council did not trust him. Angelique defended Aldric despite several of the elves were very suspicious of Aldric’s past. All three of Aldric’s children defended him. Aldric was growing older, and all he wanted to do was make the drow threat visible. His past sympathy towards the drow made his words confusing to the people around him. His words had little effect. This was a trend that continued for years to come. The Sarkozy family became ostracized by the rest of the elder families among the Elven Court. Several of those that knew Angelique and knew Aldric knew that they weren’t traitors. Aldric did have many supporters, but their voices weren't heard over the opinions of the elite. Those that knew Angelique knew that her family was loosely tied with Aerosclughpalar and several of the high elven elders in the High Forest. Despite the overwhelming distrust towards Aldric; Angelique was a noble, and her words were always enough to make the council accept him.

Adulthood
Antillado was able to join the elven council at the young age of 175. His father at the 535 retired knowing that we ageing quickly and would soon be unfit. Antillado's mother was wearing to let him join the council, but she knew that it was time for Aldric to retire. He also took this as an opportunity to talk to old acquaintances and try to help Cormanthor from its fate with the help of his acquaintances. Throughout his time in the council, Aldric gained many supporters. Most of them were retired like him though. Aldric was lucky enough that people that knew his friends often heard of Aldric and supported him as well. Aldric recently received a message from a man he never thought he would see or hear from again. This was a magical message from an old associate back in Calimsham Desert. The message outlined a meeting place in the old lair of Nexorltaalsxar, the "Terror Tenebrous". Aldric was afraid to meet him again. The message did not say what the meeting was about.



When Aldric reached the place he saw a figure covered in shadows and a drow with cut ears. He had paint over most of his face. He still seemed to have a young glow and in his face, but it is clear that time has effected him. He greets Aldric like he is greeting a friend that he hasn't seen in ages. Aldric greets him, but he is still nervous. They haven't spoke to each other in over 300 years. What would he want with Aldric now? Aldric wanted to know why he was here. He asked his old friend Hezz why he called him out here. Hezz chose this place because he knew that no one could come here; No one except the drow. Hezz warned Aldric that the elves are going to die. Hezz wanted to invite Aldric to the side of the drow. He told Aldric that they were reluctant to allow an elf on their side. Hezz convinced them that Aldric was worthy choice. The other drow didn't what Aldric was capable of like Hezz. Hezz wanted Aldric to betray the elves here. He knew that Aldric was part of the council and that he most likely had a great deal of inside information. Hezz knew that Aldric understood how the drow felt. Aldric knew that the drow in this group were alienated much like how he and Hezz were alienated. Hezz tried to convince Aldric that he was same as always. People do not change; they only hide what they are. Hezz told Aldric that he would live the life of a hero with the drow if he betrayed the elves. Working in the alliance with Azarvilandral and Pelgratarim gave him a heart of ice. Aldric denied his offer. Even if he did not care about most the elves, he had family here. Hezz said that he arrived with the help of Dhansis. He helped Hezz find the drow in Cormanthor. Dhansis said that he needed Hezz to help get in here. He offered to help the drow on the surface here by offering them supplies and support. All he wanted was a cut for when the drow take the Myth Drannor. Hezz seemed happy, like he had missed this part of his life. Aldric didn't know what Hezz did for the last 300 years, but he knew that he missed his old lifestyle. He thanks seeing Aldric again, Hezz openly admits his deception towards Dhansis. Hezz no longer cares for Dhansis's approval since he is now a part of the drow on the surface. They are his masters now, not Dhansis. Aldric cannot believe the words he is hearing. He thought he was beyond his past. He did not want to hear the name Dhansis anymore. He did not want to pillage anymore. They are both old, there is no reason to start a conflict to late in their lives. Hezz spoke of his young raid leader Hoseini Mahmound. Hezz said how the drow will move into the Elven Court any year now. Aldrix tried to convince his friend that he was wrong. The good life was not poison to Aldric, but rather that their life with Pelgratarim was the poison that got them used to torture. They both knew that neither one of them was going to give in. Both of them looked at each knowing that both sides didn't come alone. Each one of them came with a party hiding, waiting for the right time to strike. It took only a light hand gesture from each of them to start the battle.

After the hand signal, several elven rogues and rangers appeared from the trees. And at the same time, several drow popped out from the trees. A terrible battle started between the drow and the elves there. At this point Aldric’s plan to expose the surface invasion was a success. No one other than his youngest son Antillado knew about this, but Antillado understood the importance of his last mission. Despite the deception in his earliest years; Antillado was the only one he could trust in his family with his suicide mission. The elves on Aldric’s side are the winners of the battle. Aldric was the first to die in battle against Hezz's men. Right before Aldric left for the plan, his two children, Bastien Augusto, and Desiree moved to the places they said they would live. Bastien was make a settlement in the Calimsham while Desiree would go live as a member of her mother’s family in the High Forest. Antillado would be the first to hear to of his father’s death in the next meeting. Aldric would be treated as an aggressive fool. Antillado gave a compelling speech on the purpose of his plans. Antillado spoke of the nature of the drow through the experience of Aldric to show the members of the councils in the court what needed to be done. With Aldric’s sacrifice, the evles in the Elven Court gave the message to all those in Cormanthor. Messages from a spy who did not fight gave the elves insight to what was actually happened. The spy never came back after his message. The only problem is that they never knew who sent the messages. This is what lead to the uneasy thought behind this action, but Antillado’s words were enough to show the depth of his sacrifice. His words were the most influential when they saw Aldric's body among those that died.

Antillado’s adulthood and the chat with the “Gildenfire“
‎ Now between the years of 1215-1295 DR, Antillado spent his time trying to find the drow and kill them. He stood close to his father’s words and wanted to spare the drow. Antillado knew there was no way to stop them. With the thought of death combat in mind, he made it clear that their intentions were. Antillado had little sway over the others in the council for the Evlen Court after his speech. With little to no action from the drow since the attack, the elves had little interest to pursue conflict that might be. Antillado did not know how to gain the interest of those who did not seek a solution to a problem they did not see. He spoke to his sister to gain support. To reach his sister, he would need to travle to the High Forest. He told the council that he would go to the High Forest to gain guidance om the subject. It really shouldn't than a month. Antillado traveled there with support of an older elvan rogue who was a strong supporter of Aldric. This man was quite old, but still crafty. He only wanted to help Aldric one last time before he died. He had a scroll of teleport and he was willing to take Antillado to the High Forest. This man was called Doramus, and he believed in Aldric and wanted Antillado to succeed.

Doramus put his hand on Antillado's shoulder and he read the scroll to teleport both of them to the High Forest. When they both arrived Doramus would walk away saying his farewells. Doramus said that he had connections in the High Forest. If he needed help, it wouldn't be hard to find here. This was Antillado's first time in the High Forest. He really did't know where to go. The place reminded of Cormanthor, but it was obviously different. He spent the amount of a day trying to find his sister. He was surprised to know that his sister was living on one of the more beautiful places. Antillado often forgets that his mother was part of a nobility in the High Forest. His sister was basically royalty here. Antillado walked to the door and introduced himself as Antillado Sarkozy, son of Angelique. Those at the gates let him in the house. This was the nicest place Antillado has ever been in. Antillado was was beaing led to where his sister was at this moment. Antillado was merely in owe, looking at all the paintings and truly dazzled by the view from the windows. He finally found his sister, drinking tea sitting in white robes. The man signalled towards Antillado. She got up instantly and gave him a big hug. She was excited to see him, but Antillado had a serious face. She knew that he needed help, and he knew it had to be important if he went to her. She knew that their mother was also here at the time. There was no one in Cormanthor for Antillado to talk to. Antillado wanted to know how to make the elves listen to his words. For a short time after Aldric died, they listened to everything he said, but Antillado lost his grip on the council. Antillado wanted to know how to gain their attention again. Desiree told him that is was just the nature of elves. They are inherently peaceful. Elves would rather avoid war if they could. She also said that they were stubborn, but they will leave when they have to.

A man is escorted in the building. He is wearing gold robes. He comes in and introduces himself as the Aeroselughpalar the "Gildenfire". Antillado has only heard of him. He is the guardian of the High Forest. He is truly a wise and great man. Antillado bows to him, and Desiree also shows proper respect. Aeroselughpalar said that is was proper intuition to show up here. He heard some of the conversation between Desiree and Antillado and wanted to give his input on the situation. He said "Guidance is always necessary, but remember, for you to help them, they must recognize that they need help. If you truly wish to make them listen to your words, you must show them that there is threat, like your father did.  There are ways that do not involve you death, but your father wanted the maximum impact.  Make use of his death and ride the momentum he set forth.  But remember, proof is necessary." Desiree was nervous. She knew that the "Gildenfire" was giving him a message that would lead on a crusade he probably wouldn't win. Aeroselughpalar knew it was dangerous, but knew that that was what Antillado wanted to hear, and knew that it was Cormanthor's only hope to make it out of this problem.



Antillado looked at the "Gildenfire" and agreed with his message. He heard all that he had to hear. Antillado had renewed vigor and couldn't wait to get back to Cormanthor. Antillado wanted to see what he could accomplish. Antillado asked if Aeroselughpalar could teleport him back to Cormanthor. He said that he could, but he believes that Antillado should make the journey on foot. He told Antillado that he should use this time to think about what he will say. Aeroselughpalar said that he would give Antillado use several uses of the message spells. Desiree was worried that it might not be safe for him to make the journey by himself. Aeroselughpalar said that there would be few people that will travel with him. He suggested this because they have their own reasons to want to travel to Cormanthor. This will give Antillado a chance to make it back home and learn some of life’s lessons through experience. Antillado approved of this idea. He did not know how much longer this would take. He told the council one month, but Antillado had access to several message spells just incase. The "Gildenfire" told him where he could meet the other members of the group. Antillado bid farewell to the "Gildenfire". Aeroselughpalar was very busy and just stopped by for a small moment. He told Antillado that he could be here for at least three days before the party was expected to meet. He spent the time with his mother and his sister. When it was time to go, he bid farewell to his sister and told his mother he would see her later. They both gave Antillado items for his journey. This was the first time Antillado has adventured and they were worried for him.

Antillado would follow the directions from Aeroselughpalar to the place to meet all of them. When he arrived, he saw four elves and introduced himself to them. At this moment, Antillado left with the rest of the gorup. Two of them were adults around his age, one of them was younger, and one was venerable. The oldest one is the age his father would have been if he were still alive. This adventure was a learning experience for Antillado. One of his teamates was a wizard called Guilaume. He was an adult elven male wizard who had his son living in Cormanthor. He got a prophecy from the “Gildenfire” about the drow and then wanted to save his son. He had a had no facial hair and seemed very serious at all times. The next member was an adult female, Jacinthe. She was a ranger who wanted to save the elves from the tragedy of the drow that effected her life so deeply when she lived in Cormanthor when Antillado was started in the council. She did not live during the earlier conflicts, but she experienced a random encounter with the drow in Cormanthor, more like Antillado's father. She was a little older than Antillado but she aged well. Odilon was a young man who devoted himself to combat who wanted fight the drow for revenge. Aeroselughpalar originally did not want him to be consumed by revenge, but he thought that traveling with a team would show him the light. Roland Renard is an older druid who spent his time under Aeroselughpalar. He is going on this team to make sure that the other members of this team accomplish their goals. Roland wants to help save Cormanthor. It was a slow process, with little conflict and all the members of the party learned appreciate each other understand each other’s purpose.

The Arrival at Cormanthor and the return of Hoseini Mahmound


The adventure was a slow, but it would be an enlightening experience. The group would learn to work together and they would anyone in need along the way. It took the group almost two years. The group took a longer route to ignore some of the more dangerous areas between the High Forest and Comranthor. Antillado had to tell the council that he was coming back. The council only expected Antillado to be gone for maybe a month; not two years.

Antillado finally started to recognize the land again. He was close to the water. Antillado spent a lot of time in his life there when his father talked about his time sailing. Over time, this became a common place for Antillado to Antillado to visit. But on the way back after longley awaiting his return, the adventuring group was ambushed. Several drow lead by Hoseini Mahmound came out. They were silent and the group didn't notice them until they were surrounded. Hoseini came out with a smug look as if he expected him to be there for a long time. After giving an enchanting one sided speech about his own genius and ability to intercept messages; the group was surrounded and outmatched. At this point Roland knew what would happen to them and started attacking them. It wasn’t clear how powerful Roland was before, even in the two years traveling with him. But he showed his true powers, and he was a great deal more powerful than the rest of the party. This started a battle between the party and the drow. Odilon died first battle against them fighting with all of his might. Guilaume also died in battle after a fighting his hardest. They were subdued but both fought on. Antillado and Jacinthe fought but gave up as they lost. When Roland saw that he was the only one fighting or alive; he gave up. Defeat was clear and the dead were sorely missed. They spoke to each other quietly as they pointed at each of the living group members. When they pointed at Roland, it was clear that they were going to kill him. Roland was a powerful druid, but incapable of manual labor at his age. He would only hinder the drow to keep him alive. At that time Antillado saw them execute him. Antillado heard that both he and Jacinthe would become slaves. He knew it was his only chance for survival and that this would be the event that shows the Elven Court the dangers of the drow.

Both of them worked on a ship on the edges of Cormanthor transferring materials from the North East around Thar. This ship was in horrible shape and they were treated like animals. They were often whipped and often attacked. It was not uncommon for there to be executions in mid procedure. There was a surplus of slaves and the group only wanted the best workers. Antillado learned how to be a sailor from his father. He spent a lot of his early life in this very area being taught. Jacinthe was not so lucky. She was an incompetent sailor and she was physcially weak. She along with several others were executed there for being a waste of space. Antillado was able to endure the conditions and was a slave for 10 long years. Each day of this slavery was longer than any other month of his life.

After 10 years, Antillado got used to being a slave. It was if he would be there forever. When he saw elves approaching, he did not even realize what was really happeneing. The ship was attacked by elves of the Elven Court. The drow were either defeated or they scattered. Hoseini was not with the group when they were attacked. The slaves were freed. Antillado's ordeal on the drow slave ship was over. He came back finally feeling true terror himself. Those that recognized him knew were shocked to know that he was still alive. Hoseini Mahmound was never capture or subdued. Hoseini along with several other drow leaders have started making their presence known. Camps become more visible and there were enough of them that it was impossible to hide their presence. Antillado was right and the council apologized for allowing this horrible injustice to occur.

‎

Upon his return, he took his seat again and was able to convince the already rattled council that there was a problem. A man known a the Great Druid showed himself there now. Someone that Antillado had heard of before, but that he never met. He was on the opposite side of Antillado. He still did not want to provoke a war. The Great Druid’s words were strong, but at this time Antillado would be the winner. The actions that just occurred and his experiences spoke louder than any amount of peaceful wisdom. The crackdown occurred, but at this time, little was accomplished. Some of those that caused the problems were removed, but most of the trouble was gone already. The drow wanted to bide their time for the right moment, and as long as the elves were armed, it was not a good idea to attack.

During the time while Antillado was most influential, he was able to gain the support of most of the council on his ideas, and he helped restore the name of the Sarkozy family in Cormanthor. His mother was a constant support for Antillado, but she was growing very old and she soon became depended on by her son Antillado. When this happened, she said that she would like to spend time with her son Antillado above all else. He was the only one she raised at all without the help of her husband after he died. Antillado was already an adult at this time, but she believes that her job as a mother is never done. During the time span of the next 50 years he was able to find a wife and they had a son. His wife Shantal Sarkozy is a relative of nobleman in another part of Cormanthor. Antillado would have a son by the name of Deodat Sarkozy. Antillado raised him with youthful optimism as a curtain to the truth, but being sure that he would be more honest as time went on quickly. This was an effort to try to effectively make sure that his son didn’t experience the same problems he experienced. He had no problem and raised his family in peace up until 1295. He was able to stop any possible attacks, and the elves were cautious of his words.

The Fall of Cormanthor
Around 1300 DR, times started to change again. Once the problem slowed down once again, the words of the Great Druid seemed more powerful than Antillado’s. Antillado's participation lessened as he saw a great importance in raising his son with Shantal. Those who supported Antillado from long ago have become older, and those that spent their adulthood in peace saw no need to encourage this kind of security. Antillado was seen was paranoid to the council in the Elven Court. Antillado was only afraid of the drow, but his words were often manipulated as hatred against all other races. His political opponents often associated Antillado Sarkozy with hatred and war. As more time passed, Antillado worried more about being a good father than a good council member. Deodat has fully matured and Antillado wanted to have him make a living for himself. Deodat was a very rebellious child and Antillado saw him as his ultimate accomplishment. With the failure of his political career in sight, he spent time with his family. Unlike Aldric, Antillado did not raise his son to take his place. Deodat took more interest in stories about sailing, which he learned from his fathers and the stories about his grandfather Aldric in Calimsham Desert. Despite his devotion to his family, Antillado noticed the drow again. Antillado often took afternoon walks with his families in places he has been in the past. Looking in the direction of where he was kept captive, he was able to see drow activity again. He instantly turned around without a word. Old memories of his time as a slave returned. Experiences that haunted him have returned. Antillado held the hands of both members of his family and left. He did not want his son to experience such atrocities. Antillado spoke in the council with great vigor against what he just saw. Years of a failure have made him an oddball in the council, but Antillado did not care. He knew what he saw and it needed to be investigated. Those in the council turned him down. This was a trend that would continue. Antillado was greatly frustrated by this, and there was nothing that he could do.

That was the last he had seen of the drow for more than ten more years. Though it has been ten years of peace, he became paranoid for the sake of Cormanthor. 1310 DR, and he just seemed to be loosing his mind. Antillado knew that something was going to happen, but there has been no sign of a threat for years. There has only been occasional threats throughout his life. This is nothing compared to the past conflicts this region has had with the drow. The experiences that Antillado dealt with were known as freak accidents done by random drow. What had happened was not enough of a reason to sound the drums of war. Antillado's family became worried for his health. He became distant from everyone in his famly. Antillado became completely obsessed with finding the drow. In Antillado's mind it was alright to be distant. He was doing this to protect his mother, his wife, his son, and everyone that lived in Elven Court.

This situation lasted until the mid 1330s DR. Antillado was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. His family had been trying to calm him down for years. Antillado had slowly been calming down since he saw the drow, but he was still cautious. In an afternoon walk with his wife and son a familiar sound comes around. Before long he sees magical invasion inside the Elvan Court. With no word or warning, they are here. His fears are realized in an instant far too fast to react to now. Antillado is suddenly in a roar of flames as many of the elves around him are already dead. Elves were dying and no one was in sight. Arrows were killing people that Antillado has known for years. He was looking but there was no one in sight. Antillado is consumed with fear. His is worried for the lives of his family. Antillado takes his son and his wife in hand and runs away as fast as he can.

Antialldo didn't run for long before he found himself surrounded by a group of drow. A young voice stops him as he was surrounded. This man is a young drow that has a mask on. He speaks with such delight and seems very energetic. He speaks out Antillado's name... Antillado is too frozen with fear to respond. He mentions the name Hoseini Mahmound. This man cracks his neck as he speaks of his great success against the elves. It is like this man is specifically mocking Antillado for not rallying the elves.



Antillado is filled with rage now. He forgets his situation and yells that this was his their foolish mistake. He snickers at Antillado. This man introduces himself as Jezz the Lame, the Leader of the House Jaelre. He says that he is one of the three drow in charge of the invasion. In his rant he mentions another drow by the name of Barlebreeza. Antillado is confused, why would the drow tell him? Jezz looks at him with cruked smile, "I told you because no one believes you". At this point, the drow send attacks at Antillado and his family. The ski is filled with arrows. Antillado tries to shield his family, but attacks come from all angles. Antillado is puntured by several arrows and still alive, but both his wife and his son are dead. Antillado would be dead, but a Legendary Ape comes and softens the blow of the attacks. The Great Druid arrive softening the blow just enough to save Antillado. When the Great Druid arrives, Jezz backs off. Jezz speaks as if he was waiting for the Druid to arrive. They exchange small bantor before Antillado falls unconcious.

Jezz has a smile as a powerful demon arrives. The Great Druid takes the form of the Ape and starts to battle the Balor. This takes presecence over the drow and they start to battle. Jezz and his party make an easy escape. Antillado remains, unable to move, defeated. Antillado remains there, unconcious, and defeated. Jezz leaves without finishing him off. The moves on towards the Myth Drannor it seems as if it cannot be stopped. The battle rages for a long time, but it suddenly ends in a draw. The demon and the Great Druid both die at each other’s hands. Antillado would be unconcious for one of the most important battles in the history of Cormanthor. Antillado woke up next to his mother in the Elvan Court.

Antillado woke up next his mother. Angelique was sitting at his side. She is almost 600 years old and she is clearly showing her age. She does not have many years left and she knows it. She dresses in soft white robes. She has a look of pure sadness on her face. Seeing her son like this has made her weak and moved her to tears. When Antillado woke up he instantly broke down. He saw his mother at his side and intstantly broke into tears. She did what she could to comfort him. Antillado was powerless to stop his family from dying. Antillado fell unconcious at the start of the battle between the The Great Druid of the Dale and the demon. His mother told him the news. She also said that there were attacks against the Archendale, Deepingdale, Battledale, and Mistledale. The culprits are drow, but it seems as if there is dissent among them.

Antillado was confused. What did she mean by dissent? Angelique was surprised that Antillado didn't know. She said that several people knew about the drow. There have been several groups of drow around. The drow that captured you and killed Aldric are the same drow that caused the attack. They have established themselves here for a only a short time. They are the House Jaelre. They have been around for a long period of time. They are different from most of the drow in the Underdark. They do not believe in Lolth. In the past they has a civil war over the control of the Underdark. The House Jaelre lost the civil war. The assumption is that the House Jaelre invaded Cormanthor because they needed their own land after loosing the civil war. The drow that enslaved Antillado are not the House Jaelre. The group that ensalved Antillado was infiltrated by the Harper Agents. The council does hold influence in the Harper Organization. Antillado knew more than he thought, but the Great Druid and the Harpers did not want to get involved until they knew exactly what they are dealing with. There have been several attacks since the first attack on the Myth Drannor. Except with the attack around the Myth Drannor, all the attacks on Cormanthor were surgical in nature. These attack were efficient and quick. The drow responsible for those attacks are assumed to be the House Jaelre as well, but the drow that did those attacks were not spotted. Despite what is known, the Harpers still don't know where their main base of operations are.

Angelique wanted Antillado to live. She knew that without his family, Antillado would sacrifice his life for Cormanthor. As a dying wish, she wanted Antillado to move to the High Forest. Antillado wanted to stay to defend Cormanthor. She told him that his father prepared for this. Aldric heard a prophecy and made plans just incase this would happen. Antillado did not want to give up. Antillado gave his whole life to defending Cormanthor. His mother told him that the council in the Elven Court has already disbanded. The response to this attack was fear. Elves were already beginning to flee the area. To most elves, this attack was a complete surprise. The drow have returned to take the surface and there was nothing that Antillado could do. His mother tried to convince Antillado to leave with everything she had. She knew that he would gain nothing by staying. With her words, Antillado saw that he could live for a different purpose. Antillado was old, but not very old. He still had a good hundred years left in life. Angelique told Antillado that he should to the High Forest to live in peace. She wanted him to live in peace, away from all the troubles that he experienced here. Antillado agreed with her, but secretly wanted revenge on the drow. It was still only a day after the attack. Everything that happened was still spinning in his head. It was hard to leave, but it was his mother's dying wish.

Antillado said goodbye to his mother. He gave her a long hug before he set off. It was hard to say goodbye, but he knew it had to be done. With those words, Antillado left and that would be the beginning of his journey outside Cormanthor. Antillado did not want to leave his mother behind, but as the second half of her dying wish, she wanted to be buried with her husband Aldric. The House Jaelre started centering their attacks around Mistledale. Over time, more than half the elves would flee Cormanthor. Antillado would take what he needed to make his journey to the High Forest. Other than his mother, there was no one to take. Antillado would make this journey alone.

Reunion of Robert and the move to the High Forest
Antillado can see rustling and he sees a figure of dark skin and Antillado poises for combat. After dealing with so much pain, he looks at this figure with rage. Antillado does not know who or what this is, but the dark skin automatically makes him think of the drow. The man steps out calmly and speaks. He is wearing gold and green and he is bald. He does not look like an elf; he looks like human. He has very decorated robes and is covered in very powerful magical items. With symbols of Oghma on his robes and his light gray robe, he looks like a nobleman of the desert.

The man actually bows to Sarkozy and looks up to him when he speaks. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not drow. I am merely a dark skinned human." Antillado felt guilty profiling this man before meeting him. Antillado was confused, he had never seen someone that looked like this before. The man introduced himself as a Ailen- Hajar. Ailen-Hajar introduced himself as a representative of a good friend of Aldric's. He said the name Robert Proverb Daydominico. He also said that Robert was a friend with Aeroselughpalar, the "Gildenfire". Antillado knew about Robert from his father, but knew nothing about him. Hearing that Robert knew the "Gildenfire" made Antillado very interested in meeting him. Antillado was still in a weaken state, very distrusting, but Ailen-Hajar seemed very stern and honest. This man seemed resolute, like he knew he had nothing to hide. This man was incredibly wise and calmly told Antillado that things are never as black and white as them seem. It calmed Antillado to hear kind words from a stranger, but at this point, he was already excited to finally meet Robert. Antillado was about to move to the High Forest, but he wanted to know what Robert had to tell him and why he needs to see him in person to say it.

At that moment Ailen-Hajar puts his hand on Antillado’s shoulder and they both teleport to a place unlike anything Antillado has seen before. This place is has red lining covered with silver and gold. There are countless structures in motion all over this place. The red carpet and red drapes along the sides lead to a very large library. This library had countless books and shelves that raised over 100 feet high. It is almost like a castle, but it feels small and comfortable like a log cabin. As he appears there, there are many people waiting that stare at Antillado as Ailen-Hajar signals were Robert is reading. Antillado walks past the books to a comfortable looking reading post where he sees a human. This human has red robes and wears circular black glasses. He is actually quite large and his robes are laced with gold. He has short black hair and hair on his chin. Around him, there are many books and an unfinished chess match. This man stands up and shakes Antillado’s hand.



Robert introduces himself in a soft yet loud voice. He says that he is the one that saved his father from his fate in the Calimsham almost 500 years ago. Antillado was in awe, he hasn't been like this since the first time he met the "Gildenfire". Antillado knew that his father spoke of Robert as a god. Great strength and endless intelligence and 500 years, was Robert actually a god? Robert assured Antillado that he was a human. Like many other chosens, he extended his life with the power of a wish. Robert seemed very knowledge about most topics and he threw out the names of legendary people who most people only know through stories like he had talked to them just last week. Antillado was intrigued, but he still didn't know why Robert wanted to talk to him.

Robert was beginning to ramble off, as it seems like he often does when he turned Antillado with a very serious face. "Your father wanted me to talk to you. He said for me to talk to you, either right before you would die, or right after you left Cormanthor." Robert said that he was appeasing the will of his father. Like several others that encounted Robert, Aldric became dependant on his knowledge. Aldric sought guidance when dealing with difficult decisions. Robert said how he predicted that most of this would happen. He told Antillado how they had talked about trying to change the future.

Antillado was very confused. How could Robert know that this was going to happen? How did Robert know when Antillado was going to leave Cormanthor.

Robert takes out a book. This book is titled "The Living Biography". Robert explains that this book was a gift from Oghma, just like this whole place. This books gives Robert the ability to read people's lives as a biography based on what the God of Knowledge knows. This book is extremely powerful and useful. To confirm the text in the book, Robert went to speak with Aeroselughpalar to see if Antillado really did speak with with him. Robert made the prediction knowing what was happening with the drow. After talking with Aldric, Robert became interested in the issue. He read up on most of drow responsible for the attacks and learned a great deal.

Antillado became very frustrated after heaing this. Antillado was thinking about everything that happened to him. He cannot belive that Aeroselughpalar would let him try to stop the drow knowing that this was going to happen. Antillado becamed enraged with the idea that prophets from the ski are toying with his life. If Robert and Aeroselughpalar knew that this was going to happen, then why let Antillado spend his whole life just to fail.

Robert sighed and had a guilty look on his face. Robert said that it was a prophecy, not a fact. He believed that it would happen, but told Aldric that the this was not the definite future. Even Robert believed that even his predictions were bound to logic. He knew that if he missed even one variable, that things could be completely different. Aeroselughpalar let Antillado try because it could make a difference, and he knew that Antillado would not be satisfied if he told him anything else. Robert tried to calm Antillado by saying that they didn't knowingly send his family to its dooms. He didn't predict that the Druid of the Dalelands would be killed.

Antillado looked back thinking about his life. He asked Robert "My father really asked for you to do this…?" Robert agreed. Robert said that they both thought that Cormanthor might fall. Aldric asked Robert if he could save his youngest son if he were will in Cormanthor. He was afraid that the drow would attack and kill Antillado. Robert said how he almost failed to deliver the wishes of a dying friend when Antillado was attack by the House Jaelre.

Aldric wanted Robert to make sure that Antillado could make it to the High Forest alive. He thought that Antillado would live an ambitious life with lots of perils. Robert said how Aldric didn't want the help to be obvious, but like a light helping hand. Antillado needed more than a light helping hand after what happened. Robert said that this was the plan if Cormanthor would fall. This is why Antillado's brother and sister moved outside Cormanthor. Neither of the two really knew Cormanthor was going to fall, but they wanted to prepare for it. Things are happening as the predicted it would. Cormanthor hasn't fallen yet, and probably will not fall completely.

Antillado was curious about what happened. He knew that Robert learned about the situation. Could Robert tell him what really happened in Cormanthor? Was there something that he knew that Antillado didn't know?

Robert seemed unwilling to share the truth with Antillado. He knew that it would hurt him to hear the truth. Robert told Antillado that Hoseini was a member of the House Jaelre. Robert looked into his book to gain more information. The House Jaelre supported the group that took Antillado capive. Really those groups were enemies. They were two different groups of drow with different religious beliefs. This agreement was supposed to be a temporary truce to help the drow in general establish themselves in the surface world. It was really a set up. This was a way to kill the House Jaelre’s enemies and get the elves looking in the wrong places. This happened several times. The House Jealre tried to make the elves defenseless with the use of paranoia. Antillado got all the wrong leads. It was all staged by the House Jaelre. It was actually quite brilliant.

Antillado was played as a fool. His very desire to save the elves actually helped lead to their doom. Antillado couldn't believe that this was true or that Robert didn't do anything about it. Robert said that he didn't know everything until after it happened. There was no way that he could predict everything that would happen in a multifaceted organization like the House Jaelre with what he knew. He said that there was no way that one person was going to change the what happened unless they could convince the elves otherwise. The drow used their biggest threat to their advantage.

Antillado stood there defeated. He felt lower than he has ever felt before. Perhaps if he weren't so persistent against the drow, things might have happened differently. Robert stopped the sulking. He told Antillado that he did what he knew was right. It was not his fault the other elves didn't hear his words. It is the elves's fault not hearing the words. Antillado did everything that he could. After everything that happened, Antillado wanted peace. This experience was over and he wanted a new life. He thanked Robert for telling him the truth. Antillado never wants to forget all the things he left behind in Cormanthor, but he wants to move on and live a new life. At that time Ailen- Hajar, moved right beside Antillado and Robert waved goodbye to Antillado. It was not long before Ailen- Hajar was in the presence of Antillado’s older sister Desiree. Ailen- Hajar motioned a bow and left. Antillado never even got a chance to bid farewell to either Robert or Ailen-Hajar. Antillado was standing in front of his older sister. She looked far older and smaller. She was wearing thin white robes and her face looked like she had lived in constant stress always worrying about her siblings. Desiree goes to Antillado and gives him a large hug. She tells him how she is sorry for the bad news. She learned what happened from the "Gildenfire". Antillado accepts the sympathy. He is almost in tears spilling everything that happened. Antillado was very angry at himself. He felt powerless to defend anyone. His sister offered him a peaceful life in the High Forest. Desiree was extremely kind to Antillado and offered to help him in anyway she could. She hadn't seen him in over a hundred years and he looked old and defeated. Desiree spoke out of concern. She has always been cautious of her two siblings. She continues to feel guilty saying things like "Why did I get the easy life in the High Forest and you and your brother go into the belly of endless conflict." Desiree wanted nothing more than to help her family. She invited Antillado to live with her and he was treated with great hospitality. Antillado did not want pity for his past. He demanded that he got no special treatment for his past. Antillado did not want to live his life as the person who lost everything. This was a chance for Antillado to start a new life. Antillado would live in the High Forest for over twenty years. He spent more of his time talking and relaxing. He would give advice to anyone that would seek it and share his wisdom to those around him. Despite his happy pure life, it seemed shallow to him. He knew that elves to the east were dying. Living here reminded him of Cormanthor. Though he cannot be at Cormanthor, Antillado would like to accomplish something. This plagued him from the beginning. But as time passed, this bothered Antillado more and more. It became a frequent practice for Antillado to take night walks in the High Forest.

One night he spoted a half elf in front of him. This elf looked pale and young. He wore black and silver robes. These robes were perhaps the most decorated robes Antillado has ever seen. This half elf seemed very evil and smiled as he spoke to Antillado. He spoke Antillado's name and said that he also knew Aldric. This man looked very young, how could he know Antillado's father.

The man said that he used to work with Aldric in the desert. He was a messender for his old boss Mellatusigg Pelgratarim. Pelgratarim had an alliance with the Dracolich, Azarvilandral back around 500 years ago. Antillado remembered his father uttered those names. Antillado still didn't know who this was, but he wanted nothing to do with this person. It was clear that he wanted nothing good from Antillado. The man spoke of the name Ahdminajed. He said how he manipulated him to try to get Aldric to work for him again. This man says that he knows what happened to Antillado and he offers him a chance to get his revenge on the drow. Antillado is confused. Who is this man and how does he know me and my father? If he is connected to Ahdminajed, then that means he is responsible for Aldric's death. Why is he offering Antillado revenge against the drow? Antillado would decline the offer of revenge against the drow. He hated them more than anything, but Antillado did not want his life consumed by hate. Antillado asked why he wanted the drow dead. He spoke of them as traitorous wretches. This man said that he was betrayed by House Jaelre. He told Antillado that he has a chance to save Cormanthor and to take what is his. He told Antillado that he had a chance to regain your purpose in this world. Antillado was angry. It was like his life was a show. Who are all these people, and how do they knew his life? The man spoke up. "I was there when your father died. Ahdminajed was supposed to be an ally, and he didn’t realize I was watching.  The fool should have known that I might be there since I picked the meeting place, but he openly admitted deception.  It seemed like an arrogant display of his power, but he followed up on his word, and this mentality has persisted until Jezz has taken control. I don’t like getting swindled."

Antillado knew that this was a deal of evil now. He knew that it wasn't his problem. He wanted nothing to do with this man. Antillado was coming to terms with his past. He did not want revenge, not even against the ones that killed his family. The man looked angry. He almost raised his hand to cast a spell, but he looked cautiously around and stopped himself. He sneered at Antillado. This man called him a pathetic coward too afraid to take what is his. He said that his fmaily died in vain and that Antillado wasted his life. After speaking with a quiet rage, the man teleports away. Antillado did not know who this person was, but he had an idea. Aldric spoke of an old evil half elf called Dhansis Khaldun. He must have tried to enlist Antillado as a servant to get steal from the drow.

It is now 1353 DR and Antillado is beginning to feel his age. As time passes, Antillado realizes that no place exists without conflict. Knowing the lairs of many powerful evil dragons are in the High Forest showed Antillado there is always at least a drop of evil where you go. In 15 years, Antillado would hear about the news in Silverymoon with the Cult of the Dragon. Antillado lived in peace. His talk with Dhansis showed him that living in peace showed that he succeeded. He was above the trajedy in his life. 1368 DR, and Antillado was old. He did not want to stay here any longer. He has spent his time doing the same things and absorbing the color. There were conflicts in the High Forest. There was an agreement and those that had power were not as willing to use it. A few evil wizards would pass through and around from time to time. News about the Cult of the Dragon would come out, and those in higher places always kept a close eye on the dragons, especially the “Inferno”. Antillado wanted to be useful, but there was not much he could do in the High Forest. The "Gildenfire" was a good guardian and there was nothing that Antillado could really add to the equation. Desiree was always worried about Antillado and she did not want him to do what he did in Cormanthor. Despite Desiree's wishes, Antillado felt obligated to help in any way he could. What else can Antillado do?

Antillado decided that he wanted to spend his life sailing. He wanted to live his life sailing. He learned how to sail from his father and taught his son how to sail. As a follower of his deity, he felt almost obligated to work around water. This was an excuse to go sailing. Antillado wanted to spend his life doing something constructive. He read about his deity and the tie to water. It would be nothing at all like the rest of his life. He decided that he would leave for Calimsham. Antillado would try to meet his brother the Calimsham Desert and see if he could start his new life in the same place that his father lived his old life.

The move to Calimsham
After taking his leave and what he needed to survive, he left the High Forest. He left west of the High Forest and traveled on the Trade way down to Waterdeep. In Waterdeep, he stood there for a few weeks. Traveling on such a major road made traveling much easier and safer, but it was a slow process on foot. He made a few occasional stops, but did not stay at anyplace for a while until he reached the Forest of Tethir. He stood there are a few weeks before he left. Antillado was surprised that so many different strangers would treat him with such hospitality. It took Antillado about one year to make it from the High Forest to the Desert in Calimsham. He walked slowly and stopped where ever he could to help anyone. By the time he made it to the desert, he wasn’t sure if he could find Bastien Augusto Sarkozy. Finding his brother was surprisingly fast, two figures stood before Antillado. I tall elf that he recognizes as his brother an average height human man in gray robes. Bastien is wearing black and gray robes and he moves his hand out to acknowledge his brother.

Antillado would greet his brother after a long life. Both people seemed nothing like what they used to be. Both brothers were much older and both of them seemed to have a life of bad experiences. Beside the expression on their faces, they seemed happy to see each other, and happy to know that the other was safe. Both of them shared small talk and tried to catch up on history. Both of them had a lot to say. Antillado had to explain his situation to his brother. Throughout all of his life, he only wants one thing. He wants the chance to start anew. He left his old life broken and defeated. Antillado just doesn't have the power and influence to change the tides of war and lead the elves to victory. After leaving to the High Forest, he thought he wanted peace. Antillado knew that he really wanted was to do something constructive. He needed a purpose to be happy.

He turned to the man standing next to his brother. After looking at him for a period of time, he noticed that there were bright blue garments under the cloaks. Antillado became curious about his opportunities to live the life of a sailor. Aldric taught him, and he taught Deodat, but Antilado never truly experienced it as a sailor really would.

The man beside Bastien would introduce himself as a friend called Zhralilafajjahad. "What a really odd name" Antialldo would think to himself as this man introduced himself. Despite the delapidated cloak, he was very clean underneath that. He spoke with a very smooth voice and was a fast talker. He called himself a businessman, with businesses all over Faerune. Antialldo really couldn't tell if he was being honest, but he knew that this wasn't the most honest place to live. Zhralilafajjahad seemed interested in giving Antillado a chance to work, but he declined since he does not own ships. As a businessman, he often hires the sailors to work and make shipments. Bastien seemed to know this man well, but Antillado noticed that Bastien was making a very odd face while Zhralilafajjahad was talking to him. Antillado knew that he must be a deceptive, but as long as he wouldn't be a cold blooded killer, he could stomach whatever he saw.

Zhralilafajjahad knew that he could supply a job for Antillado and perhaps start a crew of his own over time, but he knew that this was making his brother very nervous. Zhralilafajjahad decided that he didn't need the help. As a kind gensture though, he told Antillado about Calimport. He said "Go to Calimport, the capitol of the Calimsham to the south. That is where you will find your best chance of work." Antillado thanked for what he said.

After the conversation he talked with his brother afterwards. Bastien was glad to see Antillado and wanted to spend some quality time to see him and know him again. He encouraged Antillado to live with his brother in the Desert to get used to this country before going off on his own. Bastien was very protective and scared to let Antillado go to Calimport. Bastien knew that Antillado was not sheltered. But Bastien knew that Antillado had been through, and he did not want it to happen again. Calimport can be a dangerous place to make a living and he knew that Antillado was a Good and brutally honest person. He was afraid that his unique qualities would not be flattering in Calimport.

Antillado spent the rest of his time in a small village pretty close to the coast. He lived with his brother and got used to living here for around six years. This time helped Antillado become familiar with Desert and some traditions within the country. His time proved very useful to help calm him down and get him ready to start anew. His life in the High Forest reminded him too much of his life in Cormanthor. A similar lifestyle was just a constant reminder of his failure. Though this lifestyle was not nearly as blueblood, it made Antillado feel useful. He was able to work and make a living again. After being ocnsidered another one of the village's town elders along with his brother he knew it was time to leave. Antillado had adjusted for more than long enough. For the last two years, he was merely appeasing the will of his brother. He did not want to leave his family without knowing them before he died. He gave his brother a proper goodbye and left the village for Calimport. Antillado felt sad to leave, but he knew that he still had at least a hundred good years in him left. He knew that he would make the best of his life and try to live a and interesting life. Maybe when children talk to him, he can give them an epic tale of greatness instead of a tale of of terrible trajedy.

His life became a tale to most people. As Antillado came to terms with what happened; he was able to share his ecperiences to those who were interested. He soon learned to loose his grudge against anyone that wronged him before. Antillado decided that there was no need for any kind of deception. As he heard more tales of other people’s lives; he became very curious. Antillado got a new light that some say the older get when they see life from a new perspective. Antillado was very well traveled, but there was still a lot of things that he didn't know. Those values that developed throughout his life would greatly dictate how he would act to most people from that point onward.

Move to Calimport and Presession for the Black Diamond, Shining Sea
Antillado finally made his trip to Calimport. The city was large and colorful. After spending a few years in the desert he thought he knew what he was getting into, but nothing could really prepare him for this city. Antillado needed to find a place to stay. He asked the locals where to find an inn, and learned that there were a few that were close to him. The first inn that Antillado found was the Spinning Compass. This was a tall red brick building and it was locked? What kind of inn was locked? Antillado was very interested to see what happened there, but he needed to find a place to stay first. He found residence in perhaps the saltiest place he could ever find. Antillado opened the doors and large glass nailed him right in the head. This place had everything from creeking floors to half nude waitresses. This truly was the place to go if he wanted to sail. Antillado found his way to the Salty Seadog, where he found a place to stay and his opportunity to start a new life. Antillado looked to see if there were any job posts up. He found one regarding a ship that needed some new crew members. A ship called Black Diamond needed a new crew. "Hmm the Black Diamond" he thought to himself. This would be nothing like his times in slopes while traveling through the mountains. He read the post to and talked to the bar tender to see what he would have to do. All he needed to so was wait one man. - When Antillado returned to this bar/inn the next day after exploring the city, he was surprised to see an odd group of people. The first person he was was a man in a cloak. This man was a middle aged human who had a rather focused look on his face. His very presence seemed as if he was always ready for a duel. His hair and cloak were blowing from the wind, even though they were inside. The Salty Seadog did have holes in the wall and such. The next person was a large person. The clanking of their armor was not very much unlike Antialldo's full plate. Big muscular hands open a door as tall figure in a helmet opens the door. This intimimading figure was dragging a huge metal chain. This person was practicly breaking the floor of the Salty Seadog when they took a step. This person ... was a WOMEN?! She took off her helmet to show that she was clearly a women. As if the group that gathered here wasn't off enough, a short hunched man came over. He seemed middle aged as well, but he sneered at everything around him. This man was so sour he made the drow look happy. He walked in the same direction. The first two are warriors; this man is clearly one in the magical arts. Antillado introduced himself now that it seemed like no more people were showing up. The man in the cloak was almost poetic with his words as he greeted Antillado. The women was kind but rather barbaric, as if she were raised by Dwarves. The last man sneered. Antillado was wondering, "Could these people really be the new crew for the Black Diamond?" Antillado couldn't believe it at first, but then he realized that he didn't fit the profile of your regular sailor either. The Barkeep said that a man named Thorock would come in and then the new crew would have the test.

It wasn't long before a huge half orc came brawling in. He approached the stable staggering a bit. Was he... yes, he was extremely drunk. Deespite that he had enough where-with-all to know what he doing. The man in the cloak had his seat. Antialldo almost thought a fight was going to break out, but it ended peacefully. The cloaked figure already introduced himself as Saulthan Ophisus. Thorock just slapped his back before business. The test involved tying knots. Antillado did this as a kid, as a slave, and tought his kid how to do this before he died. He knew he would do a good job. The girl introduced herself as Gafflure Hilltyrn, was that really a girl's name? It was like some Dwarf came up with her name. Truth be told, as an elf, most of the guys in Cormanthor had girlier names than Gafflure. Gafflure and the last man who whispered his name once started tying knots. Sciron Petzer and Gafflure were alright, but Antillado knew they lacked experience. Saulthan on the other hand raced to get the knots done as fast as he could. It was if he was a machine. Antillado knew at that time the level of skill that he was dealing with. Thorock seemed please, perhaps he was still to drunk to really rate us, be everyone there made it in the crew. The first shipment would start in the morning.

Responsibility in Sudolpher: 1374
Antillado had decided that he would do his best to protect this new land better than Cormanthor. After helping the new Olanger Emed, Antillado had decided to take the spot Emed originally held as the Vizier of Magic and Religion. Antillado help this rank with esteem and did his best to be a good successor. Unlike his position within the Elven Court, Antillado was looked upon by friends and by people that judged his merit based on his actions, rather than his connections.

He spent time in Sudolphor, but he knew there were many issues he needed to deal with. He had no idea about the Fire Knives, the hurricane, and still wished for the best in Cormanthor. Anitllado did his best to free time for himself when it seemed that the conflict in Sudolphor was calming down.

He still wished to find and capture Fedallah, but his efforts were in vein.

Battle at the Citadel of the Raven: 1374
Antillado was following up on his information and managed to learn of horrible plans that emerged because of his ignorance. When he learned that he might have aided the deaths of thousands of people, he made it his prerogative to look to see if he could accomplish some kind of goals to slow down the Fire Knives efforts.

Antillado would prove no more than an occasional nuisance to delay the inevitable. He never really learned the depth of Mordeth's plan, but he believed he knew enough to know the importance of the issue. He learned that he was not the only one trying to deal with this issue, but he learned that he was always just one step behind others that had worked for the same goal.

Despite Sarkozy's lack of knowledge and allies, he was strong enough not to fear most of the forces within the Fire Knives, and though he was not able to stop the battle, the forces of good prevailed as an embodiment of the Lord of Light came to defeat Mordeth.

Situation in Cormanthor: 1378
Antillado had spent most of his time in Sudolphor, but he was always concerned with the rest of the world. He knew that he could not do everything, but with a greater power, and his experience, he knew he could perhaps help places he had failed to help in the past.

Cormanthor had actually begun to look better. Several of the old Gold Elves have returned from Evermeet and they have managed to gain some control over their lands better since the first attacks from House Jaelre. Sarkozy did learn that much of what he saw was from a direct repair from recent attacks from the son of a wel respected elf in Cormanthor.

Antillado was very surprised to learn that drow and many elves in Cormanthor were actually killed by Oryn Silverrain. Antillado took upon himself to act on this issue, but he advised against acting directly against Oryn. The Golden Elves told Sarkozy that he had done enough. His efforts and warnings were enough to help the land, but it was they that had failed the land, and now they are paying for it. Oryn too was someone who did not get his well deserved respect. They told him that he had a new land to protect. Antillado was thankful and knew that he had a responsibility to Sudolphor.

The Spell Plague: 1385
Antillado lived through several difficulties dealing with the issues in Sudolphor after tying up the issues in his past. Antillado had pride, but there were still loose ends. in Sudolphor and in the Shining Sea. He spent much of his time consulting the Vizier of Peace and tried to plan other search teams against the Predator during his last few years as Vizier.

Bastien would die of old age a few years before the Spell Plague. Sarkozy knew as the youngest brother that he might outlive his siblings. Sarkozy would stumble across distressing news about the politics of Calimsham. Sarkozy would learn after his brother's death the things he had kept from Sarkozy and the black the truth behind Thomas Smith and many others that are far more evil than he. He looked to the prophet Robert to see what he could do to protect Sudolphor. Robert did not respond, he was preoccupied by other issues involving Netheril. Sarkozy knew little of the problem, but he believed that if he stood vigilant, that he could promote peace and integrity within Sudolphor.

When the Spell Plague happened, Sarkozy slowly knew that the world was going to change. It did not take long before Sudolphor and the rest of Calimsham came under attack. Sarkozy refused to give his position in Sudolphor and decided he would do everything he could to keep Sudolphor and all of its citizens safe. Sarkozy would try to use all of his resources to try and save as much of Calimsham as he can. Sarkozy would die in later battles against Genasi.

Current Whereabouts / Activities
At the Battle for Sudolphor, Sarkozy took a stand with the Vizars against an impossible army. Djinni and Efriti out numbered them and a few were truly terrifying. Sarkozy and Reginald were able to shield off their frontal assault and embarrass their armies. Though the initial victories were worth the legends of their abilities, the siege in time would prove overpowering. Once the magical wards and fields were off, the armies came in and made quick work of most of them. Sarkozy was the first to fall to the ground power of the Efriti. He was very well guarded by Gaffluer, but eventually taken out as the main source of the wards protecting the city. Without the wards, the siege could prevent the escape plan Reginald set up for himself. His portals have already saved much of the population during Sarkozy's stand to protect the city and his gateways, but Reginald now was trapped and stripped of many of his defenses. Gaffluer had a pile of bodies around her, but the great Efritis were able to toss meteor sized fireballs that covered the sky and smashed the buildings. Gaffluer too was overwhelmed when Reginald was last dispatched.

"If only Donovan was still here... Sarkozy muttered as his last moments of life were stripping away from him. In the end, it was all failure, but it was a life, a life worth living and cause worth dying."

Sarkozy closed his eyes, and much like at the fate of Maden Avada, they opened again. This time was different. He found himself strapped to a chair. He could not feel; he could not smell, but he could see. Sarkozy saw his flesh covered, decrepit. He did not know how much time had passed. He found himself in a room that was a tomb. With concentration, he could stand and move, but he had almost not freedom and could feel limits to his movements. "What is this? Did they force me to stay here? Was death not enough for them?" Sarkozy could see small bits of green flowing energy flowing from him to the door he could not approach. "They are using me, my soul, my magic, my energy for whatever this place is."

Antillado spent the rest 93 years stuck in the pyramid. During that time, Sarkozy lost track, after an event he didn't know there was a physical crack in the top of the pyramid. A ray of sunshine came through as a familiar sword appeared with air around it. "The Emerald Heart... why give my company? I am no longer tied to you." Antillado pauses, " I understand." The sword stays in the center of the room, giving back energy to him, but also to the pyramid itself. "Is this the will of your true master. Even in death I am meant to do something, but all I can do is wait... and I'm dead."

It was hard to tell just how much time passed, the sword kind of gave him company. In time, plants began to grow in the room itself. "Here is the tomb to find your new master. I will judge who is worthy since that is all I know is the servitude of... probably the Efriti."
