Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Magic: All Alfar are capable of basic magic- such as being enveloped in darkness to be untraceable and undetectable, or suppressing and igniting flame. This is natural magic rather than arcane magic such as that held by the magi.

• Host of the Perished Land: Sinthoras is an agent of the Perished Land. As such, wherever he goes the land is claimed by this entity, claiming the souls of those who die on the land and forcing them to act under Sinthoras or any other agent's will.

• Weapon Mastery: Sinthoras maintains the legendary skill his kind holds with staves, spears, and bows. His skill in this area is superior to most of his kind, to the point of always analyzing his enemies and discovering their weak points and striking at them and abusing stealth and his kind's natural ability to enhance stealth through magic to create a deadly combo of guerrilla warfare. Additionally, Alfar arrows break into pieces once inside the flesh, spreading shrapnel to organs.
