Editing Draft:Shattered Embrace:Dalnir

Dalnir was an ancient [[Elves|Elf]], one of the [[Founders]] and (supposed) progenitor of [[Dar Pha]] (herself of Elven blood, as revealed in [[Call of the Tenebrae]] finale). He's an important figure in lore of [[Shattered Embrace]].

==History==
In ancient times, Dalnir came into contact with an [[Orc|Orcish]] warlord [[Gromsh]] of [[Alsorna]] and a [[Human]] archmage named [[Lorren]]. They collectively formed the [[First Triumvirate]] and established a [[Triumvirate of Arveran|common state]] for their followers on the remote island of [[Arveran]]. Dalnir's Elves traveled there through a [[Gate of Lorren|magical Gate]] and settled in a region known as [[Sharrean Forest]]. They built a city of [[Tar-Dalnir]] named after their leader, and constructed a [[Tower of Dalnir|Tower]] for him as a residence. He co-ruled the island as the first Lord Archdruid through the entire [[Age of Heroes]].

Dalnir died during the [[Tenebrae Invasion]], when the attacking [[Tenebrae]] attacked his city. He was succeeded by his son [[Galadir]], who decided to abandon Tar-Dalnir and move along with the survivors to [[Shadinar]] built jointly with his counterparts, [[Baramir]] and [[Ulzag]] of the [[Second Triumvirate]]. Both Galadir's sons and successors, [[Larlandor]] and [[Talinor]], were Dalnir's grandchildren, which in turn (supposedly) makes him grand-grandfather of [[Finglor]] and Dar Pha.

==In-game==
Dalnir is long dead by the time of the [[Hero]]'s visit to Shadinar, but his statue (the only one still standing) can be seen on the [[Square of the Founders]] (unlike the ones of his counterparts that were dismantled after the [[Troubles]]). His [[Tower of Dalnir|Tower]] in Tar-Dalnir ruins can also be visited, and three items that once belonged to him ([[Orb of Dalnir|his Traveling Orb]], his [[Seeing Stones|Seeing Stone]] and his bow [[Windmaker]]).
