Seldszar Elpragh

Seldszar Elpragh was the head of the College of Divination and one of the members of the Conclave of Sshamath in the city of Sshamath in the year 1372 DR.

History
Seldszar became the Master of his college around 1177 DR, learning the secret about Sshamath's faerzress: it was cast by the first Master of Divination Chal'dzar and the powerful conjurer Ythzin.

In 1377 DR, Seldszar was the patron of Q'arlynd Melarn, who was about to start at his new College of Ancient Arcana.

Q'arlynd recommended to the priestess of Eilistraee Miverra to trust only Seldszar when discussing a strange magical phenomena that had affected both wizards and priests. Thus, Miverra and Seldszar spoke about a magical phenomena that involved a disturbance in the faerzress spreading from the main temple of Kiaransalee. At last, they decided that a joint force of Eilistraee's priests and wizards of the College of Divinatione, including Q'arlynd and Seldszar's son Eldrinn Elpragh, would scout the temple of Kiaransalee.

After speaking with Miverra, Seldszar Elpragh informed the Master of Conjuration Urlryn Khalazza of his discoveries about the faerzress's problems and Urlryn said he received the same information from a cleric of Vhaeraun from Skullport, which was actually an agent instructed to deliver the same message as Miverra.

After the mission in V'elddrinnsshar, the Faerzress did not augment anymore, but their intensity didn't diminish to their previous level, which weakened the College of Divination, since casting a divination produced Faerie fire, giving away the use of magic and also, hindering the use of divination magic altogether.

Q'arlynd offered to Seldszar a formal alliance in order to use the kiira of Kraanfhaor's Door to investigate more about the faerzress and he agreed.

In 1379 DR Seldszar formally asked to the Conclave to elevate Q'arlynd as new member, Master of the Ancient Arcana.

Later he met with Masters Urlryn Khalazza, Masoj Dhuunyl and Q'arlynd Melarn and they involved also Masoj in their plan to strip the faerzress from the drow.

Together with Q'arlynd's apprentices, his son and the Masters Urlryn Khalazza and Masoj Dhuunyl he helped Q'Arlynd when he engineered (with the aid of Eilistraee) the ritual that transformed all drow not tainted by Wendonai's blood into brown-skinned dark elves. After they all relocated to Rhymanthiin thank to Seldszar's secret dealing with the sharn.
