Tactics

Remembrances avoid combat altogether if possible, but can ably defend themselves with their rapiers, which are always of at least +1 enchantment. They usually fight defensively, attempting to protect the innocent and to break away from combat as quickly as possible. A remembrance’s spells are usually reserved for artistry or performances, unless the construct fears for its safety or that of creatures it considers its wards.

Description

These figures seem too perfect, even for an elf. Their eyes glitter, their skin is flawless and their movements more graceful than any mortal creature. When they speak, it is with an ethereal whisper, telling stories of long ago that seem almost remembered dreams.

Time That Was. The death of the high elves’ god did more than curse the elves, it virtually slew their spirits. Sorrow and melancholy have fallen upon the forsaken elves in the years since that fall. Their decline has been slow and painful, a dissolution becoming evident in their fragmented empire, decaying cities, shattered faith, and in their daily lives. In 57 AV, a group of elven artists, writers, wizards, and other creative individuals gathered to discuss their plight. They agreed to assume responsibility for the rekindling the elves’ spirits while preserving high elven heritage and culture. Artists from all of the elf realms were rallied and a renaissance movement began, bringing to an end the decades-long dearth of true elven culture. Along with their colleagues’ murals, novels, poems, symphonies, sculptures, and architecture, the elven wizards presented new spells and magic items – and their pièce de résistance, the remembrances: constructs tailored like beautiful high elves. The remembrances were designed as testament to erstwhile elven glory, animated cultural archives. Once, they mingled with elves, singing, dancing, reciting myths and legends or even re-enacting famous battles.

Intended as keepers of all the joys and pleasures of elven lives and passions, they were intelligent, knowledgeable, and even fully capable of romantic and sexual activities.
