Gilafas Adelios

Gilafas ADelios is the guildmaster of the Guild of Makers in the city of Averalaan Aramarelas of the Essalieyan Empire. Gilafas is no mere Maker, as those with his talent are known, but one of the 2 known Artisans during his reign as the Guildmaster.

Gilafas' talent as an Artisan was not discovered until it was almost too late, there being no Artisans in the generation before him, as such he is considered (by himself) to be the least of the Artisans. His skill as an Artisan was discovered by the former Guildmaster, Nefem, when he was overtaken by the voice of the ocean. On that day he made, out of crystal, a decanter that purified water. Following this discovery Nefem ordered the opening of the upper removes of the Maker's Guild, known as Fabril's Reach, and installed Gilafas there saying "What you need to learn, you will learn here.  Or so our history says."

Almost 2 years after, Guildmaster Nefem lay abed with a fever that would, in the end, kill him. On his deathbed, he charged Gilafas to take over as his successor and to guide the Guild in his place saying "...You have the ability.  Protect what I have built."

During his tenure as the Guildmaster, it was discovered that the Rod of Wisdom and the Sword of Justice were beginning to fail. This knowledge brought to Gilafas' attention at the request of the Twin Kings by Duvari of the Astari. It was also on the fateful day that  Gilafas brought into the guild a second Artisan, Cessaly. A young girl whose importance was second to none as she was destined to remake the Rod and the Sword.
