Salendor
Lord Salendor of Tor Achare was a renowned High Elf General during the War of the Beard. [1a]
He was not only a skilled swordmaster but also well versed in the magical arts, Salender was also lauded for his quick, strategic mind as well as his cool demeanour. [1a]
History
He attended a Brodunk (festival) at Karaz-a-Karak to honour Grimnir, competing with Rundin Ravenhelm in a contest to slay the most of a horde of captive and now armed Goblins. [2a] However when the final Goblin died from terror as they both advanced upon it, the contest was declared a draw. [2c]
A young and brilliant commander, he was little more than two centuries old when he fought in the War of the Beard and successfully matched his wits and skill against the deadly and equally renowned Dwarf general Brok Stonefist. [1a]
Famously at the Battle of Blind River he defeated several cunning ploys by Brok and their rivalry would continue throughout the war until they finally met in person at the siege of Athel Maraya. [1a]
The final confrontation came at the Battle of Athel Maraya with Brok using his miners to burrow beneath and then up into the city having undermined the walls for the rest of his army. As hundreds died in brutal combat and from Dragon fire, the Dwarfs added to the conflagration with their own flaming brands turning the once elegant city into an inferno. It was here, as the fires grew about them, that the two generals finally met in battle, neither willing to retreat even as their own warriors fled the fires. [1a]
They were last seen still fighting and the Elves still say that they continue to fight on even now. [1a]
