Ildarion Gethalar

Master Gethalar Ildarion, a member of the illusive order of Opus Doctrina. They are a cult of arcane fanatics, hellbent on uncovering the secrets of immortality, shying no means of reaching their goal. He himself originates from Syng'gorn on Tal'dorei, from which he and his comrades were banished for the magical practices.

Our heroes encountered him in the town of Frostwolf Port in Nardweg, where he was exploiting the villagers, who had become stricken with the disease emmanating from the corruption of the Dreadspire Isle. They confronted him while he was performing a ritual to draw on the powers of the corrupted suntree in the middle of the town. He incapacitated the party and imprisoned them. They eventually broke loose and defeated him in combat, burning his body to ashes and saving the tree. They uncovered that his soul was safely kept away, and will therefore rise again.
