Zaor Moonflower was the husband of Queen Amlaruil Moonflower and king of Evermeet.[3][2]
Description[]
Zaor had long dark-blue locks of hair. He was exceedingly tall for an elf, over six feet, with a frame as muscular as a human warrior. His eyes were blue, flecked with gold.[citation needed] His height and physique were inherited by his youngest son, Lamruil Moonflower.[4]
History[]
Zaor was born in Semberholme in the Year of Writhing Darkness, 572 DR, two hundred thirty seven years before the birth of Amlaruil Moonflower.[5][1] For a time, he served in Myth Drannor, before eventually taking on the mantle of leadership in Myth Drannor. He was known as the bearer of one the most powerful elven moonblades, known as the King's Blade.[6]
In 652 DR, Zaor Moonflower became one of the youngest officers of the Akh'Velahr in Cormanthyr.[7]
Zaor became king of Evermeet in 888 DR.[2][8] Through political maneuvering by Montagor Amarillis, Zaor was pressured to wed Lydi'aleera Amarillis. Upon Lydi'aleera's death many years later, Zaor wed his true love Amlaruil.[3] They had their youngest child Lamruil Moonflower by the Year of the Shrieker, 1272 DR.[9]
Zaor was rumored to have received the Fountain of Stars as a gift by Sehanine Moonbow.[10]
King Zaor was murdered at the end of his 432nd year of reign on Ches 2, 1321 DR,[2] in the gardens of the Moonstone Palace by Fenian Ni'Tessine, an assassin sent by Kymil Nimesin. Fenian was originally seeking Princess Amnestria, so he considered the assassination of Zaor a fortunate accident.[11][12][13] After the Zaor's death, Queen Amlaruil became sole ruler of Evermeet.[2] Amlaruil was able to visit Arvandor briefly to speak with Zaor, but then she had to return to Evermeet, as she was still among the living.[14]
Relationships[]
Zaor and Amlaruil were the parents of their oldest daughter Princess Ilyrana, twins Prince Zhorin and Prince Xharlion. Next came Prince Chozzaster, Princess Shandalar, and two more sets of twin girls, Princess Tira'allara and Hhora and then Princesses Lazzuar and Gemstarzah. Many years later, they had four more children, first Amnestria, then Prince Zandro, Prince Finufaranell, and lastly Prince Lamruil. Via Princess Amnestria, they were the grandparents of the half-elf Arilyn Moonblade and her elder half-brother.[citation needed]
