Prince Snodal and Cragspider were covered earlier; yes and no, respectively,
as beings who were alive at the dawn are 'mythic'.
Sir Ethilrist? He doesn't age, his basements are rumored to go all the
way down to the underworld, he has performed heroic quests, and he has a
'cult' of followers that perform some of his rituals (Black Horse Troop);
I'd say he's a hero.
Pharoah Belintar? He does not seem to have conquered the passage of Time,
he needs the Tournament of the Masters of Luck and Death to provide him with
vigorous bodies every now and then. I'd say he's a heroquestor of considerable
power, but not a Hero.
Delecti? Little is known about the necromancer... He appears to be about
the only wizard from the EWF that evaded draconic retribution. I'd say no,
despite his age & power. Perhaps that's because I don't like the direction
naming Delecti a hero would lead in....next comes Ralzakark!
