At the beginning of the Legends books,
Dalamar is a young dark elf of 90 years,
which
figures out to about 25 in human years.
Dalamar
is a very handsome elf with long, flowing
brown hair, brown eyes, and an extremely
charming and winning personality. He is
in
excellent health and condition, well-built
and
muscular.
A skilled young wizard, Dalamar has just
completed his Test. His first task as
an apprentice
is to serve Raistlin, the Master of the
Tower
of High Sorcery in Palanthus.
The Conclave
of Wizards fears Raistlin
more than any other threat in the history
of
their Orders. In a secret meeting, they
asked
for a volunteer to serve as Raistlin's
apprentice
and to spy on him for the Conclave. Dalamar
volunteered without hesitation.
The dark elf was originally from Silvanesti.
A member of a low caste, he would have
been
allow.ed to proceed only so far in his
magical
arts and then forbidden by law to gain
further
power. Ambitious, hungering for knowledge
and the power that magic conferred, Dalamar
turned from the White Robes that all elves
wear and chose to wear the Black. He continued
his studies in secret, hiding himself
away
from his people. But eventually he was
discovered
and was cast out of his race by Porthios,
then the new Speaker of the Sun and Stars.
Thus Dalamar became a dark elf, one who
is
cast out of the light.
Bound hand and foot and blind-folded,
Dalamar was driven in a cart to the borders
of
Silvanesti and there thrown out. This
was
about one year after the end of the War
of the
Lance. Dalamar made his way to the Tower
of
High Sorcery at Wayreth, where he took
the
Test and completed it successfully. The
Test for
Dalamar involved his lingering love and
longing
for his elven homeland and people--a
matter he had to resolve within himself
before
he could be free to devote himself to
magic.
Dalamar's first love and loyalty is to
his
magic and to the Conclave. He admires
Raistlin,
however, and is fascinated by the power
of
the archmage. Thus he willingly risks
his life
to study with him and serve as his apprentice.
But Dalamar is smart enough to know that
man was not meant to challenge the gods
and
that only destruction can result from
such vast
ambition.
The dark elf has a high Wisdom, which
gives him the understanding that balance
and
order must be maintained in the world.
Thus
he respects Elistan as a cleric of Paladine.
He
fears Raistlin as a renegade who would
topple
balance and order and throw the world
into
chaos. Dalamar's admiration and fascination
with his dark master, however, have led
him
more than once to seriously question whether
he could truly destroy Raistlin if he
had to do
Like so many other men before him, Dalamar
is highly attracted to Kitiara. Dalamar
is
being tested in his devotion to his art
and his
ability to sacrifice worldly ambition
and perhaps
even his life for it.
