Silvanus Brilliantine

A minor character from Death of a Darklord, Silvanus Brillantine was an elf cleric, father of Averil Brillantine, and an adventurer along with Frederic Vladislav and Randwulf

Background

Silvanus is a healer and priest in the service of the outlander deity Bertog. Prior to his arrival in the Land of Mists, Silvanus' human wife was killed by magic

In the Land of Mists, Silvanus and his party were attacked by a pack of wolves led by Harkon Lukas in his dire wolf form. Silvanus was maimed, whereas Frederic and Randwulf were both killed. His party was rescued by Jonathan Ambrose and his associates. Silvanus raised his companions from the dead. However, later he found that he was cut off from his divine patron in the Land of Mists, and his powers of healing became diminished as the land of Kartakass resisted him. He called upon Elaine Clairn to use her unique magical powers to heal his party, and he mentored her in how to perform magical healing.

Silvanus and his party went with Jonathan Ambrose, Elaine Clairn, and the Brotherhood of Broken Blades to Cortton, where they hoped to suppress the Zombie Plague of Cortton. There, zombies injured Averil, and she became infected with a fever. The fever proved lethal, as Silvanus found himself unable to cure her affliction. Elaine attempted to resurrect Averil, but the attempt only made her a screaming abomination of flesh. Just as quickly, Averil and Fredric euthanized Averil. Things turned even worse when Silvanus, Fredric, and Randwulf discovered their flesh had been warped by Elaine's healing, as their bodies now sported several aberrant growths.

It proved that although well-intentioned, Silvanus' tutelage of Elaine had not been precise enough; rather than the power of a divine patron, Elaine had channeled the power of Kartakass itself, as well as her own pain, leading to these wretched results.

The trio hastily maimed their bodies once again in an attempt to remove the warped appendages. They may have been killed by Tereza Ambrose, who had succumbed to fever nearby and rose as a zombie.
