Every royal court needs a jester, and Erevan Ilesere is the Dark Seldarine’s. Perched from a tree branch, lounging in a grassy glade, or peering down from a nearby balcony, Erevan fires volleys of jokes, puns, and pointed observations to keep the elven deities alternately rolling with laughter or seething with anger. Which is just the way Erevan likes it.
No wise power turns his back on Erevan, however; nor should any mortal. He is a thief to his core and a backstabber by nature. Elven thieves worship him and elf assassins consign their blades to his care.
Erevan is also a gambler. He has a devil’s eye for knowing just what a mortal wants and what that mortal will wager to get it. But at least the Hells’ own are lawful. Chaotic Erevan, on the other hand, will cheat, lie, and invoke all the godly power he can muster to win, even against the most naïve child. Only with the other Dark Seldarine does the Dark Jester play fair (after one too many stern—and scarring—reprimands from Corellon Larethian).
Erevan loves evil pixies for their sharp wits, sharp blades, and natural invisibility. (The fact that they are handy with poison never hurts either.) His friendship with dragons—and their deities—is more complicated. He will partner with one from time to time when there is a mighty hoard or priceless artifact to gain, and more than one demon lord or stuffy deva has found herself the poorer after such a collaboration. These elf/dragon pairings are epic capers involving much wordplay, side bets, and very, very careful negotiation ahead of time of how the take will be split.
