Loraedian is a beautiful man, yet has seen almost 180 summers. His hair is silverish and his skin a pale white. He is proud of his heritage and when found around the Hall of the Hopeful Road, he usually wears light brown robes, in accordance with family traditions. His cultist’s mark is a long cut across his right palm, which he usually covers with a glove. There are times when the cultist need to hide, and he does this very well, beneath gray robes and deep hoods.

The lumilon trademaster grew up in Deep Harbor District, where he watched the ships come in every day. He would listen to the stories of the sailors, but one day, a friend of his told a different story. He had an idea on how they could become rich. At first, Loraedian didn’t like the sound of that, but there was something alluring about the thought of filling his pockets with gold, and when his friend told him that they would steal the gold from someone who had plenty, a greedy merchant and member of the Silver League, the lumilon was sold. Their scheme succeeded and for a while the two friends moved away, into the Narrows, where they hid in the shadows. It was much later that Loraedian discovered his past, when he was introduced to the cult of Jaeranthir Malafarr, the reincarnation of a lumilon hero.

The cultist does not exactly try to hide who he is, though he rarely talks about his secrets to strangers. However, Loraedian will protect the secrets of his cult and more often than not, his Trade Hall is used as a front. Loraedian can be found in his office atop the Hall, where he takes care of business. He takes his responsibilities as trademaster seriously and loves to help out those who come to him for help. The Hall of the Hopeful Road closes down a few hours before midnight, which leaves him plenty of time to take care of the other part of his life, the cult of Jaeranthir Malafarr.

Tactics
Loradian doesn't like to show off his cultist powers, and will only reveal them when he absolutely have to. He wields his magical blade with great skill, but knows that sometimes a little sacrifice is needed to turn the battle around. The cultist spends the first round gaining the warrior's blessing. If outside, the lumilon might use his wand of levitate first, avoiding an attack of opportunity. During combat, Loraedian uses combat expertise, gaining a +2 bonus to AC and a -2 penalty to attack rolls.

In My Campaign...
Loraedian served the PCs as patron. They often visited his trade hall, the Hall of the Hopeful Road, found within Market Ward, and sometimes they were even allowed to sleep there, in the protected rooms in the back. One of the PCs, an oltreggan named Sarlak, even served Loraedian as protector of the hall. A big stone slab in the back of the hall served Sarlak as a kind of chair.

When the PCs gained the trust of the lumilon, he showed them the secret door to the shrine of Jaeranthir Malafarr. They used it a few times, to escape the grasp of the chaos acolytes that continuously hunted them down.
