Yolta
Mage of the Arcane Order


History:
Tales about Yolta make their way around the planes, this is understandably as Yolta is no common fellow. His magical knowledge is recognised and appreciated by wizards all around. Yet, this is not what is best known for.

His knowledge of the art helped him climb the ranks of the Arcane order. And for years now, he occupies one of the highest ranks amongst them; a Regent of the Arcane Order. But again, this is not what he is best known for.

Yolta’s one feature that stands out the most, is his uncommon heritage; for non of his race ever managed to grow as Yolta did. It is true that every millennium or so, one of his kindred shows the potential to be more then the savages that they are know for. Yolta is in fact an Xvart.

Throughout the years, Yolta has build an impressive reputation amongst his fellow mages and Regents. Some say he even surpasses Japheth Arcane, a close friend of his and leader of the Arcane Order, with his magical abilities. Others claim he even is befriend with Elminster.


Description:
A short Xvart, definitely not dressed to impress.
He wears a simple, small robe which matches his natural blue fur colour.
Covering his hands, he has a pair of brown leather gloves.
He has clear red-isch eyes and a big white beard and a mystical smile.
Functioning as a walking staff, Yolta carries with him a wand with a big red ruby on the tip.


Equipment:
Bigby’s gloves. The gloves contain the possibility to cast Bigby’s spells. The number of times cast per day depend on which spell is cast. It permanently, as long as the gloves are worn, grants the wearer the mage hand ability.

Wand of absorption. Looking closely at the big red ruby, which matches Yolta’s eye colour, on the tip of the wand; vivid energy seems to flow through it. If used properly, the staff can absorb spells aimed directly at the person wielding it. This magic can then be used to power spells or it can be blasted outward with a burst of powerful raw magical energy.
