Elthaeris was a Chosen of Mystra, once the First among her Chosen.[1]

No more. I find that 'First among Her Chosen' has become an empty boast. Find another fool to be your slave down the centuries, lady. Everyone I loved... everyone I knew... is dead and gone, my work is swept away by each new grasping generation of spell hurlers, Faerûn fades into a pale shadow of the glory I saw in my youth... and most of all, I'm... so... damned... tired...
— Last words of Elthaeris.[1]

Description[]

During his last moments, Elthaeris wore a high-collared, ornate robe.[1]

Personality[]

At the moment of his death, Elthaeris was consumed with weariness. According to Uirkymbrand, another Chosen, he had a reputation for being overbearing.[1]

Possessions[]

He carried at least one enchanted staff, which exploded when broken; most certainly, the staff was capable of a retributive strike.[1]

Activities[]

As her Chosen, Elthaeris served Mystra.[1]

History[]

Elthaeris was anointed as a Chosen of Mystra at some point after her rise in −339 DR.[2]

In a vision of the past shown to Elminster Aumar in the Year of the Awakening Wyrm, 767 DR, Elthaeris had just slain a woman; at that point, he gave up on his service to Mystra and proclaimed he was done after centuries. He broke his enchanted staff, stabbing himself with one end as it exploded.[1]
