I visualize the veldang as very sharp featured and almost elfin. Sort of like Moorcock's melniboneans, but blue.

A minor nitpick, originally tyrannos meant a ruler without dynastic claims to the throne, an usurper. However, this just strengthens the argument that tyrant is a bad title for the religious leaders of Alkoth.
