Valley Alliance Tower: Lord Velteyn.
Guildleader of the Yellow Guild, Member of the Primus. Lord Velteyn's most distinguishing feature is the crescent shaped markings around his eyes common to his race of Tanu from the plane of Mentalia. Tanu have the ability to conjure magical effects by mind power without the requirement for lengthy vocals. He wears a considerable amount of jewellery and has a passion for being shown respect, rumours circulate about a number of incidents when people were 'dealt with' for not showing this respect.
Lord Velteyn is known to be a commander of men, as interested in his warrior followers as his mages. Rumoured to be on the dark side of neutral no official link has been found between him and the Dark sphere. However he is strongly suspected as having grand plans for his leadership. Under his leadership the Yellow School of Magic was created, and has now flourished. He changed the name of the school to the Yellow Guild, moved to the Valley Alliance Tower and encouraged members of all classes to offer their primary allegiance to the Guild (rumours say that Lord Velteyn was starting to rebel against the leadership of Lord Blackwolf in Wolfhold and was asked to leave).
The Yellow Guild is now huge, being the largest guild in the Valley Alliance Tower (apart from the Rangers Guild but it is well known the Rangers do not have the first allegiance of a good number of their members.) It has strong connections with the Blue School via an alleged 'pact' with Dalvain Spellsword, and also with the Hospitallers Sect via its Guild head Lord Creyn, a fellow Tanu whom it is said can be twisted around Lord Velteyn's finger.
Lord Velteyn was first encountered, together with Lord Creyn, when a Valley party slew his superiors ( the Tanu High Table). Lord Creyn fled Mentalia some years later and Lord Velteyn, attempting to bring him back, was slain by a similar party on the Old Plane. Rumours say that despite his instant Teleport ability his death was caused a single blow from an iron weapon, iron said to be fatal poison to Tanu, certainly that has not been tested since. Once ressurected by Hospitallerman (the title Lord Creyn adopted) he was somehow unable to leave the Plane and so settled with the Valley and moved to Orin Rakatha with them, founding the Yellow School.
Since then it is he has re-established links with Mentalia, and for a brief period had as his Assistant Guildleader the vicious Tanu Aldrag Mindburner (who has now been dismissed).
He now sits on the Valley Primus representing all the Schools of Magic in the Tower.
