Vellemis Scrollscribe

Vellemis Scrollscribe became the leader of the Gythl lir Gaas (Guardians of Gaas) upon the death of the former guildmaster: Tragwin. Vellemis was in fact Tragwin's apprentice in Tragwin's later years, and carried on Tragwin's dream after his master's tragic death by heart attack. Vellemis wasn't as charismatic a leader as Tragwin, however, and so the gathered council of the nine elected Feldanir Ostrith to become their new leader and lead their guilds in the formation of the country Tragwin.

The guild Gythl lir Gaas was in fact a somewhat religious organization, made to look out for the interests of the people of Gaas as well as protecting the forces of mana and making sure there were no abuses of power among magi. Their patron goddess was Gytha (a feminine form of the Gaasian word for guardian), who was said to have given Tragwin his legendary visions for a wondrous land of harmony and equality using magic to ensure that things like hunger, disease and poverty would be banished forever. The Gythl lir Gaas underwent harsh changes at the eleventh hour, taking a new guildmaster and then being dissolved along with the other mage guilds in the interests of forming Tragwin.

Vellemis himself is an important part of the council, the brains behind Desix Taal's magical brawn. Vellemis handles a surprisingly large amount of paperwork considering a man of his position and importance; for years, he claimed it was because he was still used to being an apprentice of Tragwin. Later, he said he simply wanted to make sure things were done right and didn't trust it to bumbling new mages or secretaries. He takes an active hand in politics and foreign affairs, and probably keeps one of the closest eyes on the war (or threat thereof) between Tragwin and Eldorin. He was also instrumental in forming the Xi'mili Asht'arum as well as the Tongue of Mana.
