Theotar

Theotar, the Mad Duke, is a venthyr and one of the soulbinds for Venthyr Covenant members. He is located in Sinfall in Revendreth. Duke Theotar is a staunch ally of Prince Renathal and an avid fan of tea parties and noble gatherings. While thoroughly maddened by his experiences in the Ember Ward, Theotar continues to serve his prince with loyal tenacity, in his own (slightly insane) way.

He is always accompanied by Tubbins and Gubbins. During the Ember Court, he has unique events and characters during in-game holidays, such as "Bubbins" for Children's Week.

When Prince Renathal began his rebellion, Theotar supported him. While Renathal and a few of his allies, including The Curator, were cast into the Maw, Theotar was instead banished to the Ember Ward. Despite losing much of his sanity to the Light, Theotar and his two dredger servants, Gubbins and Tubbins, adapted surprisingly well to the tortures of the Ember Ward. They used a special type of tea created with local ingredients and shadows to keep their minds and bodies from withering into ash ghouls. They also received help from Lost Sybille, though it is unclear whether she was also part of Renathal's rebellion or if she had already been in the Ember Ward when Theotar arrived.

When the Maw Walker arrived in the Ember Ward, Sybille led them to Theotar, who had recently been mugged by "Marquis Pummeler." After helping him, Theotar is pained by exposure to the burning Light and Sybille once again takes the lead, guiding them to Tubbins and Gubbins. After a relaxing tea party, Theotar is able to compose himself. With his parasol and assistants in-tow, he is able to show the adventurers to Sinfall, where he last saw Prince Renathal. Once the adventurer got rid of the massive mirrors reflecting the light towards Sinfall, he met with the Accuser and the rest of the rebellion forces there.

Once the prince returned from the Maw, Theotar and Renathal were overjoyed to see each other again, each noting that the other looked good without a shirt on, as he gladly rejoined the rebellion.

Theotar decides to reclaim his old estate: Thornhill Manor. With the help of his old butler, Bogdan, and his staff of Dumitra, Elena, and Florin, and murdering Viscount Nicolae, the current paramour of The Countess, Thornhill Manor is retaken.

However his plan to sneak into the Countess's bedroom and steal the Medallion of Desire failed, and the Maw Walker was caught by the Countess. Luckily, she recognized mutual interest between her and Prince Renathal after demonstrating for us her power lies beyond the Medallion of Desire, and willingly chose to give us her Medallion.

Afterwards, Theotar and General Draven are tasked by the Prince to commission an object that could channel all seven of the Medallions of the Court of Harvesters by Mikanikos in Bastion. After atoning for past sins that both were party to under orders of Denathrius, that led to the Forsworn being able to easily seize the Eternal Forge, Mikanikos was eager to help. The Crown of the Harvesters was created.

However, because the Medallions contain the essence of Denathrius, his influence threatens to overcome any who wield it. They traveled to the Citadel of Loyalty to purge the Crown of the Echo of Denathrius using the power of the Temple of Loyalty that is capable of cleansing of any disloyalty to the Shadowlands. With that, the Crown of the Harvesters was perfected and given to Prince Renathal.

Venthyr Covenant members can soulbind with Theotar after completing Kindred Spirits (quest).

I am most pleased to see you again, dear <Name>. We simply must have tea together again soon.

• Sinfall

Lady Sybille has been asking after your health.

What Vulca lacks in manners--and it is a great lacking--she makes up for in skill and trustworthiness.

• Sanctuary of the Mad

I'd trust her with my tea.

Ah, welcome to the Maw, !

• The Tremaculum (Venthyr Assault)

I am so pleased you could join us.

Although, I suppose our greetings should be reversed.

I am but a humble guest in your domain of expertise.

<Theotar bows his head to you and asks quietly.>

Has it always been so... rustic here? I have not yet found a single chair in this entire domain.

There are very few activities more alluring than sipping fine tea at court with friends.

• The Ember Court

If you are ever unsure what to do, just pour more tea. It solves every problem!

Choose what you cling to carefully, but then cling to it with everything you have and never let go. No matter the odds.
