Before Tayrel donned his mask and took up that name, he was a musician and a craftsman who was trained at arms and smithing, and forged his own spear and shield. As he moved them through the air, subtleties of his design and the flow of air across them made them resonate with hypnotic tones, sharp and droning and highly variable. For this his arms and armor were called his Singing Steel, and this was the kernel of his fame, enough to convince him to create a new persona.

To take a new identity behind a mask is a time-honored ploy to ascend in status in Aravia. The starkness of the masked visage is a statement of do-or-die commitment to absolute glory. A masquerading Elf is leaving everything behind to let their deeds speak as loudly as possible in the creation of a new mythos. Tayrel began his masquerade with a purge of Undead he had discovered gathering in the Mountains of Despair north of the Aravian heartland. Walking skeletons and frozen, mummified dead were being called forth by a vile necromancer called Periclor, himself riddled with frostbite, half-dead yet kept half-alive by his arts.

Bracing themselves against the frigid temperatures, Tayrel and a chosen band of allies raided the Undead warband in their valley. This served to provoke Periclor's wrath. The necromancer marched his full might against the nearest Elven farms and ranches, located in the habitable foothills. This created just the dramatic crisis Tayrel intended to exploit, and when the local nobility demanded answers, he conveniently made himself and his forces available and shared what he knew, omitting his role in provoking Periclor. The nobles were in equal parts impressed and intimidated, charmed and disturbed, by Tayrel's unsettling yet charismatic voice and the hypnotic sounds his Singing Steel made as he moved. They tasked him with subduing the menace and gave him command of more troops for the task.

Leading his larger contingent, Tayrel met Periclor's Undead army in an exposed, rocky valley swept clean of snow by constant downrushing winds, which nearly drowned out the echoing blows of battle. Tayrel's troops held their own, but Tayrel himself sought and found glory with his Singing Steel. The Undead found that even their unnatural necromantic minds were disrupted by the eerie drones and whines of Tayrel's spear as he slashed and stabbed their warriors to pieces. From near-mindless skeletons to Undead commanders of considerable intelligence, they all found it difficult to coordinate their assaults on him and follow through with their maneuvers.

Tayrel battled his way to Periclor himself. The strange drone of the Steel disrupted the necromancer's concentration, and without that, all his death magic was for naught, the shivering necrotic wretch could not summon his death-magics, nor defend himself, against the whistle and whine of Tayrel's spear. With Periclor defeated, Tayrel's forces swiftly overwhelmed the remaining Undead, who reverted to mindlessness without a necromancer to guide them. The Elves suffered few casualties, leaving many mouths to speak of Tayrel's exceptional and distinctive victory. Just as he had planned, he exploded in status, becoming a new and exciting mystery for the Aravian court… but one few wished to meet in person.

Tayrel can be summoned from Ancient Shard, Sacred Shard and Primal Shard as a Epic champion.
