Gelarith is a shadowed elf, and former mechanical engineer of the Hand of the Seldarine.
Location[]
He stands in the astrolabe on top of Labelas Tower in the Severed Hand.
Background[]
During the days of the Hand of the Seldarine, he designed, built, and maintained the machine that makes up the astrolabe on Larrel's orders.
When the Hand fell to an orc and goblin invasion, he was killed by an arrow to the back, but like many other inhabitants was returned as an undead shadowed elf as a result of Larrel's failed attempt to place a protective mythal.
Unlike most of the other shadowed elves, Gelarith has retained his mind, and recognizes that he is undead. He continues to try and repair the astrolabe machine, but is frustrated by the fact that some of the machinery pieces have gone missing.
Interaction[]
If you talk to him before having found any machinery pieces, he brushes you off quickly.
If you hand him one of the machinery pieces, he thanks you, and inserts it into the machine. Each piece causes a part of the machine to start spinning again. Handing him all four pieces is required to complete the chapter 3 main quest Restore Larrel's sanity (118,000 exp).
