Cousin of Marrwyn Teldandilion. During the Prophet's War, like many members of the Oracular Guards, took the Black Oath to become a Blackguard when his Oracular ward was turned to darkness.

Cursed by Marrwyn Teldandilion during the Prophet's War (as part of a larger curse over the area now known as Wydmoor Swamp), he was somehow sustained inside an impenetrable glassteel dome in the Turtle Temple out in the swamps near Wydmoor. He likely was imprisoned in the dome alive and then hanged himself sometime later, remaining a powerful ghost that haunted the dome for ~1400 years. The Silverwalkers saw this solitary elf imprisoned in their visits to the temple, sensing he was both undead and extremely evil.

Later they learned that Adrillathellior's prison was somehow tied to the marauding Dragon Turtles of Wydmoor Swamp, and that the defeating him would possibly allow the Dragon Turtles to be drawn into the Lizardfolk Hierophant's control. To this end, Mose (heavily enchanted by the Silverwalkers) entered the glassteel dome and defeated him in single combat, where the ghost dissipated and the hanging body turned to ash.

From him were recovered an ancient, but perfectly intact, pair of Boots and a Cloak of Elvenkind, that perhaps have additional functions. Additionally, his mithril sword, adamantine breastplate, and large mithril shield were recovered.

Items

Germain, using his Bardic Lore, is able to recall mention of of Teldandilion among the histories he has read, and indicates these items are storied.

The sword is most likely named "Black Oath," as were all of the Unholy swords carried by the Oracular Paladins. The sword is named for the Oath taken by the bodyguards of the child Oracles during the Prophet's War, renouncing their faiths and dedicating themselves completely to the protection and service of their wards. In much the same way that the First Stand carried out the administrative and grand martial plans of Alexandria, the Blackguards provided experience and prowess for their wards, and acted unfailingly as protectors and advisors right until the end. All were eventually cursed by divine power in one way or the other.

The shield is a Swanshield common among elite Elven knights of the ancient past. The standard indicates this shield was borne by a member of the Elven court, albeit not one in the ascension line.

Aegis Gildensidhe is of Dwarven make and enchantment. Adrillathellior was one of the only elves, and the only elf of any real prominence, to actively take up arms against the cause of Alexandria. This breastplate was forged for him by the clans of Gildenhome that also stood against her as a token of support and encouragement.
