Telanis Songbender is a shadowed elf and former elven bard.
Location[]
He stands in the festhall (the south-west room) of level 4 of the Severed Hand.
Background[]
Long ago, he was a minstrel of the Hand of the Seldarine. His performances included singing, playing the lute, and telling stories.
When the Hand fell to the orc and goblin horde, he and many other inhabitants were turned into undead shadowed elves as a result of Larrel's failed attempt to place a protective mythal over the fortress.
Unlike most of the others, he has retained his mind and recognizes that he is undead.
Interaction[]
When you talk to him, he introduces himself and boasts about his artistic skills.
He sings two songs about the history of the Hand of the Seldarine for you, if you ask him:
- "The tale of Larrel"
lyrics In time of growth,
Did the elves deem so,
That a haven in the north be madeThey searched for one,
Strong of Mind,
Strong of Will,
To bear this burdensome taskThough the wizards were many
And diligence all had,
One of wisdom they found,
Larrel shined above allRide did he,
Across frozen lands,
Ascending the peaks,
In the Spine of the World
Beasts did he battle,And darkest of hordes,
Forthright in his quest,
Larrel conquered allWinters came,
Winters went,
Through darkest cold night,
The one pushed throughIn midst of this tundra,
A place he did find,
Home for the elves,
Larrel did crown. - "The tale of the elves and the dwarves"
lyrics In time of strife
Against the dark horde,
A friend we found
In the ones short and stout.United as one,
Our forces did fight;
In battle we charged
And drove the dark back.We danced and we drank
With victory in hand
An old enemy vanquished
A new ally behindAgreement both made
To craft items of light
Weapons of Might
Artifacts of PowerFor years upon years
Our bond remained strong
In times of prosperity
Even in adversityWhen the darkness returned
Its form we were blind
The dwarves had betrayed us
Weapons given to orc-kindKnife in back
Deception instead of friendship
That is what dwarves give
To those of elvenkind
