Salas
Salas, a dark elf cleric, is the primary Underdark informant for the Really A. Travelers guild and one of their most trusted members. A survivor of countless tragedies, Salas fled the Noclon Confederation during its civil war and watched his entire guild perish under the tyranny of a former Underking. Now hardened and brooding, Salas wields divine magic and a massive spectral bell as his weapon, channeling his grief into power while guiding others safely through Nineveh’s Underdark.

Personal history
Born in the Noclon Confederation, Salas was once the head of a small adventuring guild based in Burrowgrove. When civil war tore the city apart and destroyed their hall, Salas led his remaining allies through the winding Underdark tunnels to Nineveh. Recognized by Trodan as an official Underdark guild, their work as tour guides and escorts brought safety to travelers in a dangerous world. Their peace was shattered when the Underking’s dominion spread across Nineveh’s depths, consuming his guild and leaving Salas as the lone survivor. He eventually allied with Really A. Travelers, Kriss Morigan, and Netherbane to dethrone the Underking, avenging his fallen companions and securing his place as a permanent member of the guild.
