'''Prildor''' is an [[Half-Elves|half-Elf]] resident of the [[Village of the Spring]].

== Appearance ==
He's old, and his hair is fully silver, styled in a long ponytail.<ref name=":0">{{VERef|10.16 N}}</ref>

He is tall and carries a bow when he is with the army.<ref name=":1">{{VERef|Vernoue (Pt. 2) - Interlude}}</ref>

== Personality ==
Like other inhabitants in half-Elven villages, Prildor has a slower perception time, living years like they were days. He sticks to his daily routines unwaveringly, and immensely dislikes it when he runs into something unexpected. After tracking down and exterminating two dozen ant hives, he still shuddered about it for an entire year.<ref name=":0" />

On the road with [[Nuvityn]], the army has to accomodate his pace somewhat because he is overwhelmed by all the 'rushing about' and only brushes his teeth when the rest is starting the march for the day, but he takes all the surprises with a sigh expecting them as a veteran of multiple campaigns probably should.

He carves arrows as a nervous tick.

He hates losing arrows and even picks up single ones he shot himself and cannot retrieve via skills.

He has a book where he writes down things he talked about with other old people to check what things - kingdoms, food  they remember.

Despite his otherwise very overwhelmed appearance when dealing with life outside the village he seems to be very promiscuous person considering [[Menisi du Marquin|Menisi]] didn't even have to try to seduce him and he claiming himself that he is easily seduced and that it happened all the time with women of various species. He specifically names [[Nagas|Gorgons]], [[Selphids]] and [[Centaurs|Centauresses]], but his eagerness to "connect" with Menisi and other statements suggest other species can probably be included in this list too.<ref name=":1" />

== Background ==
After [[Leila Springwalker]] died, he regularly visited her grave to leave a flower, and kept an eye out for her missing [[Ceria Springwalker|granddaughter]].

He spends his time dismantling trees, crafting arrows out of them, and firing them at a target to practice his aim.<ref name=":0" />

Prildor had been called to aid the King of [[Erribathe]] in the past. On one occasion he went to fight in Rhir.<ref>{{VERef|Interlude – Another Time}}</ref>He hates sailing and has fought at several naval engagements and been shipwrecked once. According to what he told Nuvityn, he drifted for 89 days. He took a few shots at undead against a Necromancer fellow, which was his last active fighting involvement in a war, suggesting he fought the undead armies of [[Az’kerash|Az'kerash]] during his rampage through Terandria.

He knows Forgemaster Taxus by name and might have met him, when Taxus was still actively smithing in Dwarfhome.<ref name=":1" />

== Chronology ==
===<u>Volume 10</u>===
Prildor had just recieved the news of Prince [[Iradoren]]'s death. King [[Nuvityn]] arrived in the Village of Spring to recruit him on his quest to confront [[Iradoren]]'s killer, [[Erin Solstice]]. Before departing, he went to his neighbor [[Tserre]]'s house to inform her of Leila Springwalker's passing, and the disappearance of her granddaughter. Informed by Nuvityn that Ceria had been out of the forest for decades, she asked to join them so they could search for her and bring her home.<ref name=":0" />

When the army is refused passing through Ovela by [[Piortesenzth|Piotesenzth]], Prildor and Tserre talk to him for two days and try to figure out which era the old Hunter is from with Prildor even taking out his notebook he uses during talks with old people. 

On Nuvityn's command, he uses his skill to send thousands of unenchanted wood arrows without sharp tips at Aliendamus army during a border standoff as show of force with minimal chances of death. He is glad when a barrier that breaks due to his attack is quickly replaced by another preventing casualties.

When Nuvityn visits Calanfer he goes to Gaiil-Drome for some time with Menisi accompanying him. It is very likely the too had sex.<ref name=":1" />

== Powers and Abilities ==
He dodged [Lightning Bolt] spells (a more advanced black version) three at a time after a few single ones had already been send at him. [[Rhisveri Zessoprical|Rhisveri]] calls him a "master of dodging".<ref name=":1" />

He can shoot a bow very well for someone who does not have a class.<ref name=":0" />

== Quotes ==

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2025/06/28/interlude-vernoue-pt-2/ To] Nuvityn and company) “I’d rather not fight ghosts. My arrows don’t do much against them.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2025/06/28/interlude-vernoue-pt-2/ To] Nuvityn) “Oh well. We’re not trying to hurt anyone, correct, Your Majesty?”;  “Excellent. I didn’t try hard.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2025/06/28/interlude-vernoue-pt-2/ To] himself after being called the [Royal Stockpiler]) “That’s not my ''actual'' class.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2025/06/28/interlude-vernoue-pt-2/ To] Nuvityn and company) “Everyone ran out of arrows during the first war I was part of. So I prepared enough—the rest of it is just a bit of velocity and positioning. I ran out of [Archers] before arrows in the war when I reached Level 40.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2025/06/28/interlude-vernoue-pt-2/ To] Nuvityn and company) “That is why it is good that we exist, Tserre and I. Terribly as we must sometimes live, fewer children need to raise bows because of our deeds. I would prefer not to make war on this nation, though, Your Majesty.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2025/06/28/interlude-vernoue-pt-2/ To] Nuvityn) 
** “One second—I have to pick up my arrows. The first two didn’t count for [Return Inventory], you see."
** “I didn’t think I’d have to dodge ''lightning.'' My heart’s racing. I need to lie down. May I stop in Gaiil-Drome for a month, Your Majesty?”
** “Affairs. Dead gods. We had one in our village last…time. It must have gone on six decades before it was found out. ''So'' uncomfortable. So scandalous.”
** “But what if I’m ''seduced?'' I’m highly suggestible! It’s happened countless times! Gorgons, Selphids, very lovely Centauresses—”
