Born At Glister Tower
Died In 2E 582, at Glister Tower

Sanessalmo Helerie was Lord of Glister Tower and served as lord inquisitor to Hidellith II and Ayrenn I of the Summerset Isles. He was eventually dismissed from the Queen's council in 2E 580 to make way for Ayrenn's Eyes of the Queen, though the reason given was because of Sanessalmo's recent experiments with illusionism magic. The death of his wife, X, combined with his dismissal from the council left deep-seeded emotional unbalance in Sanessalmo, which led to him kidnapping three of his former councilmembers in 2E 582 and torturing them until their eventual rescue, which also resulted in Sanessalmo's death.

History[]

In 2E 580 after the death of his wife, the Lord of Glister Tower, Sanessalmo Helerie, was dismissed as the lord inquisitor of Ayrenn I Arana's high council. Sanessalmo's recent experiments regarding the magical manipulation of emotion were used as grounds for his dismissal, as the Queen claimed that they were negatively imparing his mind. In reality the experiments were merely a well-timed excuse, as Ayrenn had always intended on replacing the traditional council spymaster with her own spy network. After his dismissal, Sanessalmo retired to his tower where he continued his experiments, likely leading to genuine madness. His erratic and angered state of mind led Sanessalmo to capture two of his former councilmembers, Grandsapiarch Merion, Lanitaale Liaren, and Minantille Sarfiel, as well as and Nuulehtel Petrel the royal herald, while they were travelling on the road to Skywatch in advance of the Queen on her royal progress, imprisoning them within Glister Tower. Each of the captured nobles were trapped in a magical illusion tailored to their own mind's weaknesses, as Sanessalmo knew every one of their secrets and in his deranged state believed they were responsible for his dismissal.

Upon hearing of her sister's capture, Lady Avinisse Liaren of Shimmerene sent a raven to Ayrenn I requesting she keep the peace by commanding Sanessalmo to release his capitves, elsewise she would raise her banners and march on Glister Tower herself. Eyes of the Queen were eventually sent to rescue the prisoners, as Ayrenn believed that the threat of a siege would drive Sanessalmo to execute his prisoners. The Eyes eventually succeeded in their rescue attempt, during which Lord Sanessalmo died though Ayrenn maintained her Eyes had no involvement in.
