## Overview Councilor Rillion Rolid is a high-ranking official within the **[[Green Palace]]**, the political and spiritual center of the Green Forest region in South Angoria. He is known for his balanced judgment, mastery of law and diplomacy, and his firm commitment to order across the southern regions of Solare. He serves as one of the principal liaisons between rural villages, frontier forts, and the upper echelons of government authority beneath Castle Green. - **Name:** Rillion Rolid - **Title:** Councilor of the [[Green Palace]] - **Race:** Half-Elf - **Age:** 65 - **Class/Role:** Statesman, Ritual Scholar, Arbiter of the Southern Tribunes - **Affiliation:** The Green Council --- ## Location: The [[Green Palace]] The **[[Green Palace]]** is the administrative and spiritual heart of the Green Forest, where the **Council of the Leaf** deliberates over regional justice, ecological balance, and responses to growing threats. Castle Green lies at the core of the palace compound. Rillion oversees communication and relief efforts between outlying settlements like [[Talonalton]], [[Stoneharbor]], and [[Brighthoof]]. His seal represents legitimacy and order across South Angoria. --- ## Role in the Campaign Rillion is the original intended recipient of **[[Calford]]’s letter**—the message warning of gold discovered in [[Talonalton]]’s mine. Due to the interception of the letter and [[Calford]]’s death, Rillion never received the message in time to intervene. His name has been recovered by the party through the letter’s seal and contents. If contacted, he may become a vital political ally—or a slow-moving authority figure struggling to respond to events already in motion. - **Primary Themes:** Bureaucratic inertia, political tension, noble aid delayed - **Potential Function:** Source of troops, relief supplies, or protection if the party secures his favor or proves the threat --- ## Personality Rillion is a calm, measured speaker with a tendency to pause before responding. He carefully considers tradition and precedent before acting. Though he sometimes appears passive, he is deeply analytical and rarely makes the same mistake twice. - **Alignment:** Lawful Neutral - **Disposition:** Thoughtful, reserved, diplomatic - **Beliefs:** Stability over chaos; trust in the law to restore balance; aid should be earned by civic contribution - **Flaws:** Can be overly cautious, slow to act when rapid intervention is required --- ## Affiliations and Influence - Member of the **Council of the Leaf**, answerable only to the High Voice of Castle Green - Trusted by Leon Talbain**, King of Polaria, as a regional diplomat - Has direct command over regional envoys, supply clerics, and diplomatic scribes --- ## Plot Hooks - May be contacted to formally acknowledge the undead threat and authorize reinforcements - Could require proof (corrupted land, undead corpses, relics) to act - Might offer political support to the party if they stabilize [[Brighthoof]] or protect [[Stoneharbor]] - Could uncover that other Councilors are working against him—or are manipulated by the growing influence of [[Anam]] --- ## Future Development If the party earns his respect, Rillion may: - Become an advocate for their cause at the [[Green Palace]] - Send an elite ranger or spellcaster from Castle Green to aid the defense of [[Hearthstone]] or [[Brighthoof]] - Grant land, title, or formal protection to survivor groups under party leadership Alternatively, if ignored or alienated, he may delay action long enough for [[Raphael]]’s forces—or worse—to spread unchecked.
