Nar'ysr

"When strife eclipses the sun, only Bhaelros lights the consciousness of men."

- El Nar'ysr, as quoted by Abbalayar prophet Kadh yn Ororm al Mjol

El Nar'ysr, which means "The Phoenix" in Alzhedo, was one of the most prolific prophets ever to live on Toril, with greater divinatory power than even Alaundo the Seer, famous for many thousands of predictions later recorded in a multi-volume work entitled The Phoenix Prophecies.

Description
The Nar'ysr, whose real name was lost to history, was one of the Abbalayar, a group of humans so unique to be considered a different race altogether. He had reddish skin and golden-colored hair.

Personality
The Phoenix was a quiet man who rarely spoke, but when he felt a prophecy coming upon him, he spoke with boldness.

Relationships
The Nar'ysr was known to have had descendants, though only a few of these inherited his prophetic powers or distinct physical traits.

History
The Nar'ysr lived in the time of Calimshan's ancient past before even the end of the Calim Empire. During his life, he gave thousands of cryptic prophecies.

His prophecies were recorded sometime in the tenth century DR by the Herald Swordswreath. She composed a seven-volume work from source fragments and a manuscript passed on by the Abbalayar prophet Kadh yn Ororm al Mjol. This opus was titled The Phoenix Prophecies. Among these more than 8,000 prophecies, the Nar'ysr predicted the deaths of Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul, the nine Ages of Calimshan, the Eye Tyrant Wars, the Time of Troubles, and the attack of the Tuigan Horde.
