Ellival Moon meadow is a minor noble from Celene living in Diamond Lake.

Description

"Ellival Moonmeadow is a minor noble from the exotic and distant elven kingdom of Celene, a land so fabled it might as well be imaginary as far as most residents of Diamond Lake are concerned."[1]

Ellival as known as “The Prince” to those who frequent Lazare's gambling parlor.

Ellival is blonde, handsome, and keeps himself very well-dressed.[2]

Personality

Moonmeadow is somewhat reclusive, and aloof. He only associates with other elves (other than dragonchess opponents). Even half-elves "don't quite qualify".[3] He prefers to ignore the affairs of the human mine managers and views his silver mining operation (a local monopoly) as more civilized; and theirs more vulgar.

The hook, given in the Age of Worms Overload to exemplify Moonmeadow's personality is, “Back to work, you sluggards. Do I have to play you a song?”, which references his Bardic Music ability and/or, presumably, his charm spells.

Abilities

Str 10, Dex 15, Con 12, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 16

Possessions

Ellival is known to own and carry a very intricately sculpted and delicately inlaid rapier (masterwork weapon [weapon of quality]).

His estate is a large manor house with a meditation garden and an ostentation (a large group) of peacocks. He also has a mated pair of cooshees (elven dogs) named Kanemar ("Honorable Eagle"} and Tatae ("Beloved Fox"). There is a private dock on the property where a swift, swan-decorated boat.

Activities

Ellival is occasionally seen around town in Diamond Lake, venturing to Lazare´s House to play dragonchess. Otherwise, he is not in the public's eye.[2]

Relationships

Moonmeadow is most often accompanied his retinue, a companion-guard of six elven men and women who are all well-trained. (FTR3)[2] They are not only his protectors, but also his confidantes. They are all much younger than Moonmeadow, and engage with the populace of Diamond Lake more than Moonmeadow.[2] His lieutenants, in turn, have assistants of their own.

History

Rumors and legends

There is much speculation why "The Prince" no longer lives in Celene (realm).

Ellival Moonmeadow only ever appeared in Age of Worms-related products, specifically in Diamond Lake. He has not been used after the outset of the adventure series.
