Landor Forester

Landor Forester is the first son of Perrin Forester and Rachel Forester, as well as being the Avatar of Phealas, God of Death and Justice, and the Head Magistrate of the Jade Imperium.

Birth and Early History

He was born Sunsday, 15th of Harmony in the year of the sun 1337, during the Apex of the Gloria.

Rachel named him after Landor Caladon, the late husband of Lelani Caladon who, as a ghost, shared Rachel's body during most of her pregnancy.

After the dust had settled on the Gloria adventure, Sir Jericho Templar stated that he believed Rachel's child to be important to the fate of the world in some way.

This was confirmed by Aurora the Insightful, who offered Rachel and the child sanctuary in the Jade Imperium, stating it was the only safe place in all of Crescent for them.

By the age of 6, Landor had the appearance and mental acuity of a 12-year-old human. During his early childhood, he seemed to age at approximately twice the normal human rate. This had slowed down by his 10th birthday, and by 16 he appeared to be in his early 20s.

Appearance

Landor's skin is a nice shade of pearly gray. He has dark hair and colorless, watchful eyes, which gleam with intelligence. He's a little disconcerting in person, as he appears to weigh your every action and word.

Current Status

For most of his childhood, Landor was kept out of sight of the world by his parents. Perrin and Rachel moved him from the home they shared when he was born, in Everlight, with no forwarding address. This house became the destination of occasional pilgrims, who traditionally left a single white lily on the doorstep.

In the year 4440 of the Jade Imperium (1353 as the Holy Nation of Crescent measures it), Aurora appointed Landor Head Magistrate of the Imperium's legal system. Though many questioned the appointment of a strange 16-year-old Human to this role, in the intervening years he has gained a reputation as an unquestionably fair and impartial judge, and has revolutionized the administration of justice in the modern world.

This appointment also facilitated and fulfilled a major aspect of his destiny, as Landor ascended to his full status as the Avatar of Phealas, the god of death and justice.

Landor, the child of the (at the time of his birth) Deathless Perrin and the human Rachel (who was possessed by the ghost of Lelani), neatly fulfilled the section of Aurora's Prophecy:

Begat of light and dark
Midwife from beyond the pale
A child comes, newborn
With eyes that pierce the veil.
