As luck would have it, every single screenshot I have is ridiculously spoilerific. So...yeah. Probably can't post them. Instead I give you:

MOVIE CLIP.

Oddly enough my movie nerd status is gonna come out. In 1949 there was a movie called White Heat. An amazing Film Noir, check it out sometime!

One of the greatest quotes of all time was made by James Cagney, a murderous villain, in one of the most dramatic and expensive scenes of the time.

"Made it Ma, Top of the world!"

Jump to 5:48 and watch to the end of the video, it's one of the greatest clips of all time, and remarkably suited to Xeral.

Xeral Al-Reja I made originally while DMing but put him on hiatus. Returned him after I retired and shifted him gradually from a business-oriented manipulative merchant-slaver to a Political Wizard.

The thought simply was that at the time things weren't very black and white in EFU. People treated the Sons as "Freedom Fighters seeking indepednance" and not murderous terrorists fighting the count. The Stygians were seen as a group of "Noble Tyrants who did what they had to for security".

Figured EFU needed someone to point at and go "You fucking monster", so sat down and drafted the idea of a more realist-focused hard power politician. No one wanted to deal with me but they kinda had to.

The result brought me more fun and amazing PC to PC interaction on EFU than ever.

Congratulations on playing a sick badass wizard who everyone loved to hate, except the people who were as twisted as him.  Best villainish-type character on EfU:A for a long time.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(

Xeral was a total bastard who created a new D&D Alignment:  Evil Awesome. :(

I hope he got an endlude, at least.

Found one from his early days as a Caliphar.

As DM/PC plots come to an end I'll post more of his recent dealings.

So, team adventure for Howland's quest challenge?

Such a great villain.  He had real style.

Xeral was just what the Conclave needed on that time.
