Backstory
The Peace Treaty
Mindartis knows Lady Velrosa from a couple of years ago. He definitely wants to attend the party and ask her some questions about how things have been since he was gone — especially how it has been between the elves and the humans after he brokered a peace treaty. Peace. Such a fragile thing.
Campaign Chronicle
Absent: The Tower
Mindartis vanished during the party's final hours in Nightstone. The bloodstone's pull had been growing since Dustin found it in the hag's house — unpredictable, indiscriminate, dragging people into the Ethereal Plane without warning or pattern. One moment the elf was there. The next, the air shimmered, and he was not.
Back with the Party
Mindartis stepped out of the grey shimmer of the Ethereal Plane mid-conversation, as if he had merely left the room for a moment rather than been ripped between realities. He adjusted his cloak. He surveyed his surroundings — a cloud castle, drifting a thousand feet above the road — with the measured calm of someone who had decided, quite firmly, not to give the bloodstone the satisfaction of a reaction.
