Zaor Moonflower was a moon elf and the husband of Queen Amlaruil Moonflower and the king of Evermeet.[2][4]
Description[]
Zaor had long dark-blue locks of hair and his eyes were blue, flecked with gold. He was exceedingly tall for an elf, standing over 6 feet (1.8 meters), with a frame as muscular as a human warrior.[9] His height and physique were inherited by his eldest sons Zhoron and Xharlion, as well as his youngest son, Lamruil Moonflower.[10]
History[]
Zaor was born in Semberholme in the Year of Writhing Darkness, 572 DR, some 237 years before the birth of Amlaruil Moonflower.[11][3] For a time, he served in Myth Drannor, before eventually taking on the mantle of leadership there. He was the bearer of one of the most powerful elven moonblades, known as the King's Blade.[12]
In the Year of the Viper, 652 DR, Zaor Moonflower became one of the youngest officers of the Akh'Velahr in Cormanthyr.[13]
Zaor became king of Evermeet in the Year of Twelve Teeth, 888 DR.[4][14] Through political maneuvering by Montagor Amarillis, Zaor was pressured to wed Lydi'aleera Amarillis.[5] However, upon Lydi'aleera's death many years later, Zaor wed his true love Amlaruil.[15] They had their youngest child Lamruil Moonflower by the Year of the Shrieker, 1272 DR.[16]
Zaor was rumored to have received the Fountain of Stars as a gift by Sehanine Moonbow.[17]
King Zaor was murdered at the end of his 432nd year of reign on Ches 2, the Year of Chains, 1321 DR,[4] in the gardens of the Moonstone Palace by Fenian Ni'Tessine, an assassin sent by Kymil Nimesin. Fenian was originally seeking Princess Amnestria, so he considered the assassination of Zaor a fortunate accident.[18][19][20] After the Zaor's death, Queen Amlaruil became sole ruler of Evermeet.[4] Amlaruil was able to visit Arvandor briefly to speak with Zaor, but then she had to return to Evermeet, as she was still among the living.[21]
Relationships[]
Zaor and Amlaruil were the parents of their oldest daughter Princess Ilyrana,[6] twins Prince Zhoron and Prince Xharlion. Next came Prince Chozzaster, Princess Shandalar, and two more sets of twin girls, Princess Tira'allara and Hhora and then Princesses Lazziar and Gemstarzah.[7] Many years later, they had four more children, first Amnestria, then Prince Zandro, Prince Finufaranell, and lastly Prince Lamruil.[8] Via Princess Amnestria, they were the grandparents of the half-elf Arilyn Moonblade and her secret elder half-brother.[22]
