Ilvriss Gemscale also known as Wall Lord Ilvriss, is a high ranking general and one of the sworn protectors of Salazsar.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
He has dark red-purple scales,[1] and has topaz coloured eyes.[2] He is classically handsome in all the Drake ways, and is considered to be one of the most eligible bachelors in Salazsar.[3]
Personality[edit | edit source]
Arrogant and haughty, Ilvriss is one of the most influential and richest Wall Lords in Salaszar. Though proud of his high status with a tendency to throw around his title, Ilvriss takes his Wall Lord duties very seriously, and strives to defend the Walled Cities and its people. He has a strong work-ethic, which is one of the reasons why his company is one of the top in Salaszar. While a competent military leader and warrior, he is more suited towards business and economy, describing his one power to be "making money."[4]
As a traditionalist, Ilvriss tended to favor the old guard (i.e. other traditional Drakes) and held patriotic values for Salazsar and the other Walled Cities, while being condescending and patronizing towards other races. He displayed outrage at the idea of a Human male marrying a Drake female.[5] Additionally, he once argued with a close friend, Wall Lord Tasilt for marrying a Gnoll, which resulted in Tasilt punching him.[6] However, he was willing to look past his own biases, such as when he hired a Gnoll, Alrric Kerrfa, as his second-in-command for his company[7] Ilvriss also tended to be snappish to being outright insulting and hostile towards people he disliked.
After losing his lover Periss, Ilvriss became vengeful and obsessed with hunting down Ryoka Griffin, the last person to see Periss alive. Though he would eventually discover that she was murdered by Az'kerash, Ilvriss fell into a deep depression, increasingly turning to alcohol.[8] However, seeing Periss in a vision induced by Erin's Faerie Flower drink snapped him out of his funk.[9] Ultimately, Ilvriss's experience at Liscor and The Wandering Inn changed him, forcing him to let go of his former prejudices towards other races (even Goblins). Other people would note his drastic change in personality.
Background[edit | edit source]
Chronology[edit | edit source]
Volume 2[edit | edit source]
He was first seen in the Blood Fields, fighting with his soldiers against the army of the Trisstral Alliance, led by Zel Shivertail. On the day when he first met Ryoka Griffin, he was distracted by the City Runner and subsequently ambushed by Zel. He sent his aide Periss after Ryoka and was caught unprepared for Periss' demise by an unknown enemy shortly thereafter. Again, this distracted him in his duel against Zel, and he lost the duel and the battle.[10]
He surrendered to Zel who then force-marched north after Ryoka, only to encounter the emerging Goblin Lord. Ilvriss and his remaining soldiers fought on Zel's side in that battle.[11] Afterwards, Zel and Ilvriss traveled to some Drake City where Wall Lords from several Walled Cities were assembled for arbitration.[12]
Volume 3[edit | edit source]
Ilvriss and Zel arrive at Liscor at the same time as the delegation from the other Antinium Hives. They nearly start a fight with Klbkch and Xrn, but were stopped by Pawn, the Free Antinium, and Liscor's Watch.[13]

Volume 9[edit | edit source]
Ilvriss invited Archmage Valeterisa to recruit her to train mages. She declined to meet him in private, suspicious of his many precautions and cautious of possible traps or ambushes.[62] As everyone was scrambling for the new lands, he made plans to send expeditionary forces with Alrric and Zail to secure trade routes to the half-Elven and Drowned colonies, and potentially find resources and explore ruins. He made deals with other Salazsar companies, and sent a missive to Rags to hire her tribe.[63]
Erin briefly called him among others as she them she knew Gnomes and Elves, then contacted again asking him to help change Drake society to decriminalize and accept Turnscales, and telling him that he'll gain 10 levels if he does.[64]
Ilvriss also engaged Fissival's forces in battle, but he underestimated his foe and was nearly killed. His father Zail and the other old Drakes stepped in to win the battle.[65] But Ilvriss did not stay to reconnect with his father, as he travelled north on an expedition to uncover former Walled Cities. The goal he stated to his group was Grunvel the City of Pacts, but secretly, his true objective was Naamreles the City of Purity, to obtain weapons to use against Az'kerash. Ilvriss reunited with Erin. In an attempt to help his expedition, Erin posted a Quest asking the northern nobles to make sure no harm came to him. This had the opposite effect, instead galvanizing the north against him.[66] Xesci went to the Sisters of Chell to secure their aid to protect him.[67]
While awaiting the Winter Solstice and its tribulations, Erin gave him a magic sword.[68] He surivived the battle of the Winter Solstice.
Volume 10[edit | edit source]
A month after the Solstice, Ilvriss has started excavation in the north. The nobles didn't give him trouble besides showing off their militias.[69]
