'''Nerul Gemscale''' is a [[Drakes|Drake]] [Diplomat], and a member of the Gemscale family. 

== Appearance==
Nerul is a portly Drake with pale purple scales.<ref name=":0">[[Chapter 8.05 I]]</ref> He has a sapphire tooth in the back of his mouth, where his old Rhir-tooth used to be.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/09/9-52/ Chapter 9.52]</ref>

==Personality==
Nerul is jovial and good-natured though willing to bring on the fire and brimstone when necessary. He is considered to be the black sheep of the Gemscale family due to their general disapproval of the [Diplomat] class. As a diplomat, Nerul can be charming and charismatic, making a person feel like he is their best friend. He can also play the buffoon to catch people off-guard, or bring on the "thunder and fury" to hammer down the ''exact'' terms he wants.<ref name=":0" /> Ironically, he tends to be blunter around his family, which is another source of contention. He is very perceptive, having recognized at first glance that [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]] had changed upon his return from [[Liscor]].<ref name=":0" /> He has a fondness for fine food and drink.

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/07/8-05-i/ To] Dellek’s Council) “Ladies and gentledrakes, I am Nerul, [Diplomat] of the Gemscale family and officially designated representative of the Walled City of Salazsar in regards to the war between the Trisstral Alliance and Salazsar. Both sides want peace, and an amicable solution if one can be arranged. Let’s work this out.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/07/8-05-i/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]
**“Nephew! How is my favorite troublemaker? Start any more wars for me to fix?”
** “Why? Look ''around'', Ilvriss. The highest-leveled Drakes in our society are ''all'' oddballs. Me included.”
**“Young Ilvriss, if I thought people could never change for the better, you’ve proved me wrong.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/04/8-21-l/ To] [[Feshi Weatherfur|Feshi]]) “Ancestors. [[Lyonette du Marquin|Are]] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|they]] going to ''dance?'' My nephew must be mad. I knew a Drake who died by strangulation during a dance gone wrong.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/26/8-45-o/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) “I have never seen such a splendid execution. The old Winebreath Blaster. Classic diplomatic trick. You, young lady, are a credit to your home. Natural talent. Indeed.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/12/05/8-55-l/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) “She can cook too? First the Winebreath Blaster, now the art of cooking your guests a meal. You, Your Highness, would be an excellent [Diplomat].”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/13/8-79/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]) “Yes. And if you don’t know about [[Asale|him]], read up before the battle or he’ll gut you like a fish, Ilvriss. He’s surprised everyone from Chaldion to Luciva herself.”
