Appearance
In his later years he was tall and very slender with a stooped posture, his hair so silver it appeared metallic. He cultured a small forked beard, a rarity as most elves stayed clean shaven. He ofset this with cheerful smile and a twinkle in his eye. His quarters were austere with many scroll racks and books piled up on his desk. [1b]
History
He taught Malene Emeraldsea magic. [1a]
Morelian was visited by Teclis to show him inscriptions found in the city of Zultec. [1b] He was able to decypher them enough to read that they warned of a coming Chaos incursion which also tallied with divinations and observations of the Archmage Belthania. [1c]
When the Dark Elves launched their surprise attack on the whole of Ulthuan, Morelian and all other Loremasters had a vision of ghost of Caledor telling them that Teclis would be going on a important journey and required their aid. During the initial turmoil at the tower, He and Belthania met with Teclis to determine his next step - to forge a new weapon for his journey. [2a]
Before Teclis departed, Morelian gave him the War Crown of Saphery to hold in trust as long as he lived and also his own Pegasus Silver Wind to enable him to reach Avelorn as swiftly as possible. [2b]
Skills
He was regarded as the greatest living expert in the languages of the Slann. [1a]
