Editing Awnshegh (section)

==The Elf==
Despite his title, Rhuobhe is not the progenitor of the [[elf]] race in the [[Birthright]] setting. He's not even the only elf awnsheghlien, and at least two of the others, the Green Man and Rhuovar the Red Bull, work (or worked) for him. He is, however, the very first elfin awnshegh.

Back in the ancient days before the gods battled Azrai, Rhuobhe was one the first elves to welcome humanity to Cerilia in exchange for their aid against the [[goblin]]s. In fact, Rhuobhe was actually very fond of humanity, at first... which meant he felt all the more betrayed when, after the war was won and elfkind permitted humanity to settle on Cerilia, humanity began ravaging the forests for agriculture and industry and ignoring his sincere pleas for peace and reason. He responded by founding the ''gheallie Sidhe'' (literally ''Hunt of the Elves'', more commonly known as the [[Wild Hunt]]), an elfin terrorist hate-group that has been trying to drive humanity off of Cerilia with murder, sabotage and catastrophe ever since. He gained his common title of "Manslayer" after his 100th personal kill. But it wasn't enough for Rhuobhe, who subsequently led those elves who thought like him to embrace the dark god as an ally when Azrai promised to exterminate humanity. Although most of his followers abandoned him when they realized the true extent of Azrai's plans, Rhuobhe remained loyal to his wicked patron until the bitter end, and was subsequently inundated with his power following the Battle of Mount Deismaar, becoming the first elfin awnshegh.

Thanks to his blooded powers, Rhuobhe appears as a tall, regal elf whose skin is a shadowy gray color reminiscent of marble and whose eyes have become orbs of solid white. He cannot be harmed by any weapon that isn't at least a +3 enchanted weapon, is immune to "launched missiles" (that is, any projectile weapon that wasn't thrown by hand), and has the Regeneration (minor) and Fear (major) traits. He's a powerful [[gish]] with 7th level and Realm spells, who wields a +4 Bastard Sword of Life Stealing and "Winged Death", a +3 longbow that can create its own arrows of radiant blue light that hit as +5 weapons and do +1d6 damage if the target fails a save vs. spell. His blooded powers have increased his senses, allowing him to penetrate subterfuges and illusions, but also means he is near-blinded and disorientated by sunlight - ironically, he's basically become the Cerilia equivalent of a [[drow]]!

He rules over a stretch of untamed wilderness known as, simply, Rhuobhe, north of Avanil and south of Boeruine, which he stalks endlessly with his bloodthirsty bands of anti-human followers - such is their zeal that they will even kill other elves for being insufficiently anti-human! Other elven nations don't officially condemn or condone him; in fact, they actually look down upon him somewhat, as he is believed to have strayed too far from the elfin devotion to Chaos and become Neutral-aligned, which some amongst the ''gheallie Sidhe'' argue makes him no longer fit to be part of their ranks. Of course, few elves are stupid enough to voice such thoughts where Rhuobhe Manslayer can hear them...

Oh, and he still hates goblins. He plans on genociding them next once humanity's out of the way.
