Darahl is a god with a long and checkered past, particularly so for a member of the Seldarine. Long ago he was known as Tilvenar, and he served Rillifane Rallathil, but he suffered a loss of power and prestige when an avatar of his was made insane by touching the The Kyrashar Rose (a cursed artifact created by Lolth and the Queen of Air and Darkness to hurt and destroy elves). The insanity spread to several of his avatars and they rampaged through many communities. In time his avatars were restrained and cured of their affliction, but the damage to his following was irrevocable. The elves largely forsook him, his following drifted and waned, and over the course of time he began to look for a place outside of Arvandor to call his home. It was only after settling in Arcadia that he finally dropped his old name and began calling himself Darahl Firecloak. By “reinventing” himself, he hoped to begin anew among the elves and eventually to establish himself as an Intermediate power again.
Darahl is the master of fire- and earth-based magic and phenomena, and as such has strong ties among gods whose portfolios tie into that. He now considers himself friends with the dwarven power Dumathoin and several of the gnomish powers (including the halfling god of earth, Urogalan), but at the expense of his friendships among the Seldarine, of whom only Tarsellis and Tethrin are close to him. However, he’s also gained a few new enemies during the course of time. Darahl has not been picky about new converts, so he has tried to sway more neutrally-aligned members of the Underdark races to join with him. This has angered the drow and duergar gods Lolth and Laduguer especially, but he’s also gained the unwelcome attention of Selvetarm and Urdlen (likely Malyk, since Darahl’s more even-styled approach to magic conflicts with his own). It’s hard to say who would help him more in a fight, the Seldarine or his new allies, but it’s not something he wants to test just yet.
Darahl lives on the first layer of Arcadia, among the mountains in a castle known as the Twin Towers. It’s called that because, although only one such tower is visible on the surface, an inverted tower is visible of equal size exists underneath, its roof pointing downward (and leading to portals to the Elemental Planes of Earth and Fire, respectively). The irony, of course, is that although the outside is barren, inside are many flame-proofed tapestries and paintings depicting the most beautiful aspects of life on Arvandor. It’s clear to visitors that Darahl has not forgotten his ties to the elven pantheon or people.
Clerics of Darahl are known to multiclass as druids, wizards, earth elementals savants, or fire elemental savants.
Dogma
Clergy and Temples
The clergy of Darahl Firecloak are known as Firecloaks and wear robes of yellow, red, and brown (decorated with green flaming symbols, some magical). Often Darahl is venerated at the outset of a new venture or discovery, whether it’s a new tunnel into the Underdark, a new magical item of an elemental nature, or a new convert to be brought into the faith. He is also worshipped during tremors, forest fires,and other such natural phenomena, but it’s more for his help in finding a way to end such occurrences. At such times, precious minerals or items of minor magic are sacrificed or left behind as offerings to him. When anticipating battle, they protect themselves as best they can and arm themselves to the teeth. They’re a small priesthood at the moment, and none of them is considered expendable.

The Kyrashar Rose (artifact): This artifact was created by the followers of Lolth and the Queen of Air and Darkness. Soulless elves under the control of the Queen of Air and Darkness took a Black Shard and used it to cut into an oak tree, causing it to bleed as it died. Into this mixture was added the poison from a thousand black roses. Then Lolth’s avatar appeared, magically transformed the sap into the shape of a rose, then caused it to harden into amber (but with a greater strength than even steel or mithral). Because some of the residue of the Black Shard fell in with the sap, it became a very potent weapon for use against good elves. It is said to have caused Darahl Firecloak’s avatars to go murderously insane, thus attesting to its efficacy.
The Kyrashar Rose provides the following powers:
* Darkness at will
* The user is able to cast two spells of each level from the illusion school as a 19th-level caster.
* Slay living 1/day, usable only on elves or fey.
* Fly at will
* Levitate at will
* Summon 1-3 yeth hounds or 1 quickling 1/day, they serve for 1 hour before leaving.
* Summon 3-36 fey with the unseelie template (see Dragon #304) or 2-20 evil elves (or drow) 1/week.
* Wearer gains a +3 profane bonus to Charisma-based checks with regard to drow, evil elves, and evil fey.
* Charm person 3/day; elves do not gain their racial bonus to saves against enchantments.
* Suggestion 3/day; evil actions suggested to good creatures does not automatically negate the effect of the spell.
* Create food and water 1/day – Those eating the food must make a successful DC 30 Will save or become dominated by the wielder as if under the effect of a dominate monster spell, doing their bidding in any way possible so that they can have more of this magical feast as a reward.
* Poison 1/day
The Kyrashar Rose was created to cause havoc among elves, spread evil, and destroy the grip of the Seldarine. Whenever the slay living, darkness, or summoning powers are used, there is 9% base chance that the attention of Lolth and/or the Queen of Air and Darkness is drawn to them. This chance increases by 1%/level of the one using the powers of the Rose, increasing to 100% if the wielder is a proxy, Chosen, or avatar of a deity of the Seldarine. If this occurs, the wielder must make a DC Will save equal to the divine rank and Charisma modifier of both deities or become dominated by these two deities. Depending on the status of the Rose’s wielder, either Lolth or the Queen of Air and Darkness becomes the primary dominator, issuing commands as desired and turning the wielder chaotic evil. In the case of an avatar in contact with Kyrashar Rose, however, both goddesses work together and issue contradictory commands to break down the avatar’s mind and cause the avatar to blame the nearest elves for its madness, seeking to slay them. This homicidal frenzy does not stop until the avatar is slain or avatars of other elven deities show up to cast heal and other dispelling spells to end the domination effect.
Another side-effect concerns good or neutral-aligned elves who touch or use the Rose for any non-evil purpose. If three such attempts are made and the wielder resists the domination of both deities, the thorns on the stem of the rose prick the wielder, who must make a DC Fort save equal to the divine rank and Charisma modifier of both deities or suffer the Fate of Sleeping Death. The wielder immediately falls into a deep slumber and cannot be awakened by any means short of a limited wish (which awakens the victim for only 1d4 hours) or a wish or miracle spell. Ironically, the victim does not age and cannot be harmed by any force while in this state.
Possible means of destruction:
* Sending the rose to the elemental plane of fire to burn into ash
* Having Corellon Larethian strike the rose with his sword in Arvandor.
