A duanann without a court nor any desire to be in one, he is mainly interested in the integration of blight to twist the evolution of forests to make them harmful to mortals. Although born with a solar affinity, his experimentation with death magic and blight has corrupted both his magic and his spirit.

"Then there was the elven man standing before her. Though he had the somewhat sharp, youthful features of her kin, his face was also unusually wizened - as if he was aging like a human. Chestnut-colored hair interlaced with white fell down his shoulders. He might have been handsome despite all this if not for the stony expression etched onto his face and the absolute piercing coldness in his eyes. He wore no winter coat, had no apparent protection from the cold but for a green tattered cloak adorned with a small deer skull. Tattered was an apt description for the man in general."*

Falthedyn: An artifact weapon of his own creation, Falthedyn is a dagger crafted from a piece of one of the fae kind's sacred trees. Somehow Vyr discovered a way to imbue the wood with a type of blight, and with that gave it the ability to transfer part of his twisted power into any mortal victim pierced by it. Using this weapon takes its toll on his remaining life: thus he uses it sparingly for this purpose.

He can also focus his innate earth magic into Falthedyn to manipulate and corrupt plants and animals into aberrant (blighted) forms that he can control.

Fae Resistances & Vulnerabilities: He has basically the same resistances/vulnerabilities as other fae (e.g. iron), with the addition of being immune to death magic.

Fae Glamour (corrupted): Like other greater fae, Vyr can affect the minds of mortal races and lesser fae. Unlike his kin, he does not (and possibly cannot) use his nature to charm or lull. Rather, his abilities influence negative emotions and tend to instill fear, despair and madness. He can use his glamour to make those vulnerable to fae glamours to forget his presence.

Herald of the Forest (corrupted): Vyr can assume the form of a great elk, though like his humanoid form, this form has been corrupted into an aberration. Those few who remember seeing this form deep in the woods have reported it as a giant multi-antlered stag cloaked in shadows.

Greater Reaper Abilities: Vyr has more powerful versions of Elinyra's reaper abilities, powered by ley magic rather than nearby lifeforms or his own life energy. See https://chroniclesrp.net/members/elinyra-derwinthir.6570/#vwintegrate

Tree Stride: Vyr can travel between two trees that are at most a few hundred yards from one another. Using this repeatedly, he can traverse distances quite quickly through wooded terrain.

"Sitting in my ivory tower
Invincible to fall
Some would say my final hour
As you scale the wall

Step inside
I dare you all
And breathe the lies
And heed the call

When this all is said and done
I will have my way
And you will take the blame

You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Truth of a crime you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue

I swear to God I'll find a way
To prove I still belong
I'd rather watch it burn away
Than say that I was wrong

So step inside
I dare you all
And breathe my fire
And heed my call

You're over the line, under the gun
I'll keep on scheming for what's to come
Truth of a crime you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue

This alliance built on fear and rage
Ends in violence if I have my way

Fear
Spite
Lie to divide us
Hate
Strife
Bring decay"
