Taking out a quill and a small pot of black ink, the sound of the quill scratching against the paper echos through the eternal library.

Given a proper upbringing, he is conscious of his superior status and ensures this fact is explicitly known whenever interacting with lesser breeds. Now at the age of 232, a particularly fond number to Taenthal as it is a numerical palindrome, he spends his days absorbing literature like air in the search of new and exciting knowledge. Like all decent Mali’aheral proud of their heritage, Taenthal resides within the glorious city of Haelun’or, a landmark to the ingenuity and sophistication of the Mali. Taenthal is especially interested in debate as they consist of pure logic and only end when the loser’s battered form of a case is thrown, defeated, from the stage of inquiry. He regards fighting as shallow and mindless, a job more suited to those without such noble lineage, but fighting strategy is a task he tackles with deadly efficiency. Taenthal’s one true weakness is hubris, extreme overconfidence in one’s abilities, and is a weakness he has no intent on fixing. Namely because he refuses to believe it. What are your characters ambitions?: The acquisition of knowledge to further the cause of the Mali’aheral. Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: http://imgur.com/abZcgeB Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: All has been said. Open-Response-Questions Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short. Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response? At first glance, looking at the beaten form of the dwarf, I wonder why the humans allow such filth into the city. Does it not taint their bloodlines? I suppose it does not matter if one’s own heritage is just as inferior. Upon closer inspection the dwarf seems to be selling small wooden carvings painstakingly chipped away from oak wood. They resemble work done by a child and feature sharp edges and cracks where simple precautions could have prevented damage. The dwarf takes notice of my evaluating gaze and tentatively asks, “Would you like to buy one?”. Turning around and leaving, I smile to myself. Only one possessed of great naivety could mistake my gaze for interest. You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do? Looking at the escalating situation before me, the necessary course of action is obvious. Quickening my pace, I clear the immediate vicinity just before the blows begin to land upon the face of the dwarf. I suppose I could have helped but that would require interacting with the Orc. I don’t have time to socialize with such illiterates, the dwarf is simply my ticket to leave. I’m sure my colleagues would agree that his sacrifice was for the common cause. Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?: As I watch the human, a mere 80 or so years old and already so frail, attempt to lift his fragile form from the ground, a passing youth begins to divest him of his coins. Raising one eyebrow in amusement, I continue onwards, amused by the betrayal of one human to his own kind. Such barbarianism clearly must be commonplace among their kind. Leaving the scene behind me, I am comforted by the fact that I will soon be in Malinor, away from such public displays.
