Delacim was a mage of the Yalain Empire, and a student of Asheron's. He and his brother Gaerlan studied portal magic and other arts under Asheron's tutelage. Gaerlan was Delacim's junior by some twenty years, less skilled and even more headstrong. As an adept, Delacim arrived at Aerlinthe and opened fixed portals to Ithaenc, Haelan, Knorr, Nesortania, Elancia, Jalis, Aribel, Alastinae, Dernehale, Larchess, and the works at Seral Ipharsis and Lamihaar.
