'''Eldavin''' was one of [[Teriarch]]'s many aliases when undercover among mortals. After being wounded in battle against [[Cognita]], the simulacrum's connection to Teriarch was damaged, causing Eldavin to develop a separate consciousness from Teriarch. Currently, he is an Archmage of Wistram and the leader of the Terras faction.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Show Spoiler" data-collapsetext="Hide Spoiler" style="width:100%">With a magical ritual, [[Emerrhain]] severed the tether between Teriarch and and Eldavin, killing the Dragon, and leaving the Eldavin simulacrum on the verge of death. However,[[Kasigna]] and [[Cauwine]] offered Eldavin a chance to live in exchange for servitude. Eldavin accepted Kasigna's help and became an actual person, capable of leveling.</div>

==Appearance==
Eldavin is a projected simulacrum that Teriarch can maintain over large distances without leaving his home. Eldavin appears as an old, bearded half-Elf in excellent shape.. His hair is a pale silvery white that has a luster and shine to it. His skin tone is a moderate olive brown, but whitened from not being in the sun for a while. His eyes are cerulean (azure-blue) and helioptrope (amethyst-violet), although the colors are of unnatural deepness, as they show a tiny bit of magic caught forever, and are ever-shifting their exact hues.<ref name="1.09R">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/12/28/1-09-r/ 1.09 R]</ref><ref name="3.30" /> 

==Personality==
In the aftermath of his battle with Cognita, having forgotten that he is a Dragon. Eldavin's personality largely resembles Teriarch's. However, he does not possess Teriarch's world-weariness and is eager to ''live''. He is much less restrained in disseminating his magical knowledge to others and is intent on accumulatating political power in Wistram. Additionally, he is much more promiscuous, sleeping with several young women. 

It is stated by Teriarch's daughter, Nirayicel, that Eldavin was the worst parts of Teriarch. Lacking most of the memories and of his   

==Chronology==
Teriarch used this appearance in his first three interactions with Ryoka while hiding his real body behind an illusion; although he used his real name in these exchanges.<ref name="1.09R" /> After she broke his spell that affected her memory, Ryoka confronted Teriarch with knowing the truth, and he stopped using the facade.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/18/2-38/ Chapter 2.45]</ref>

Teriarch used the simulacrum again when he sought out Erin on her way back to [[Liscor]], when she helped him with his copied iPhone.<ref name="3.30">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/11/04/3-30/ Chapter 3.30]</ref>

"Grand Magus Eldavin" was still listed in Wistram's record and was sent an invitation for a gathering of [Mages].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/27/7-25/ Chapter 7.25]</ref> As Eldavin, he had not made a public appearance for decades, though.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/29/7-37/ Chapter 7.37]</ref>

When he next confronted Ryoka and Erin using the simulacrum facade in the ruins of [[Celum]], Teriarch re-introduced himself to them as Eldavin, and urged Ryoka to not address him as Teriarch. He then followed the two Human women to [[The Wandering Inn]], where he impressed everyone with his magical prowess, knowledge and age - admitting to have known [[Zelkyr]] and clearly demonstrating to be an ancient Grand Magus, humbling [[Grimalkin]] and all other Mages at the inn. True to his real personality, he was rather dismissive of most petitioners and acted aloof towards most of the people trying to gain his attention.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/31/7-26/ Chapter 7.26]</ref> Eldavin challenged Erin in chess and had difficulties beating her.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/01/interlude-a-meeting-of-druids/ Interlude - A meeting of Druids]</ref> He later stayed at [[Magnolia Reinhart]]'s estate in order to repair her carriage.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/28/7-31/ Chapter 7.31]</ref>

==Quotes==
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-2/ To] [[Trey Atwood|Trey]]) “I have had it up to ''here'' with ‘buts’! No objections! No ‘ifs’, ‘ors’, or ‘maybes’! I am the Grand Magus here, not you. And I…do you have another potion?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-2/ To himself]) “Shush. I’m thinking out loud. There have to be better Earthers than not. That Elena seemed quite stable…but the truly extraordinary Earthers I know of—[[Erin Solstice|one]] is dead. Poor girl. I’ll have to revive her, if I can. It occurs to me that Ryoka Griffin should come here, though. I’ve let her roam about, but…”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/10/27/8-49-m-revised/ To] [[Fetohep]]) “From the halls of Wistram, I offer you the aegis of magic, thou immortal scion. So long as sand shifts, let not Khelt’s deeds slip away. For every grain of sand called ''Khelt'', every breath of air and drop of water is magic and Wistram’s blood.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/10/27/8-49-m-revised/ To viewers]) “I see a ‘Sir Relz of Pallass’ has the courage to dignify this twaddle with his name. Regrettable, that. How can we ‘prove’ the two are linked? Perhaps with something as simple as ''our minds'', you imbecile. I do not need to prove every single thing beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you breathe, you can ''infer'' there is air. Arguing for complete proof is a child’s gambit.”
