Sivar¶
Contested
The sources disagree on whether Sivar died in the battle at Pemeril. See the open question Sivar's death.
Sivar is a seven-foot half-Oesterkull agent of the White Fire, sent by the society's archmage Kolvar to "look into darkness falling on Alghert" in the Fifth Age. With his dwarven companion Khalban he hired a company of adventurers in Athagilion and went with them into the kingdom, where he fell in the battle with the Eldritch knight Malo (S179, S180, S183).
The mission¶
Sivar is "½ Oesterkull, 7' tall", of the White Fire, the society led by the magus Vinias (S179, S180, S319). He "works for Kolvar" (S180), and with Khalban was "presently on a fact-finding mission for Archmage Kholvar" (S181).
What he went to find was grave. "All trade in/out of the kingdom has ceased. Scouts have reported finding empty villages on the borders, those sent deeper into the kingdom have not returned" (S180). He offered the company "500g up front, 500g if they return as a scout, up to 2000g for hazard pay (if things get crazy)" (S180). Behind the silence lay a Hollow spreading over most of southern Alghert, "the site of a Demon vs Devil war", which the king and princess themselves had helped to make (S181); that story is Alghert's.
Death¶
In the fight in which Malo and the disguised demon Apuuk were killed, the defenders of Pemeril's wards, Sivar was struck down by necrotic, piercing and bleeding wounds and then by fire: "(DEAD) Sivar" (S183). His deeds with the company are the Sancturi Campaign's.
The next two session records nonetheless list Sivar among the fighters at the Vault of the Eye, with weapon and armour, and have him struck by demonic spores in the Battle of Angels (S185, S186). No record says he was raised.
Khalban¶
Sivar's associate is Khalban, a "Dwarven Crossbowman" with a "long brown beard". His family is from the Blue Mountains, and he is "trying to fund the retaking of a dwarf hold" (S180). In Alghert the "left side of his face" was "scarred by spores" (S181). He fought at the Vault of the Eye beneath the Monastery of St Morgan (S185).
Kolvar¶
Kolvar, an archmage of the White Fire, is Sivar's employer and sent him and Khalban into Alghert (S180, S181). He is written Kholvar in the later record (S181).
Gap
The sources say nothing of Sivar's life before Alghert, how a half-Oesterkull came to the White Fire, or Kolvar's history and seat. They do not say which dwarf hold Khalban hoped to retake, or whether his cause was that of Volgin Trollmane.
