Esper Halidin

"Open wide. We're coming for you." - Esper Halidin watches as the skies tear open into The Astral Sea.

At a Glance


As the Eladrin skycaptain of the "Abundance of Apocalypse", Esper was regarded as being the "militant" sibling of Eluna Halidin. A fearless warrior, Esper remained vigilant in her persecution of the Gods during the Sunshine Offensive. Beneath her hard exterior, however, Esper questioned her sister's faith and whether she would abandon the Pallanaise mission.

Blue Skies...
Sailing aboard the Abundance of Apocalypse, Esper guided her crew into the Astral Sea to confront the deity Bahamut. Taking her airship on the offensive, Esper's ship and crew were peppered with the wreckage of a fellow airship (destroyed by the Dragon Champion Kalryni). Sent into a nosedive, Esper attempted to pull her ship back into the air but was dispatched when Kalryni landed aboard the craft to reclaim the stolen eggs from Bahamut's clutch (plundered at the beginning of the offensive).

Knocked unconscious and trapped beneath rubble in her own ship, Esper was rescued by Sagan Anlu'moon and escorted to safety (albeit by leaping aboard the less-than-helpful airship of Jana Bridgewater just in the knick of time).

Following the destruction of her airship and crew, Esper recovered from her injuries in the town of Salt Gohlin before travelling back north to find the whereabouts of her sister Eluna.

Idiots, Dreamers, and Dragons
Discovering that Euris Testidar had survived his encounter with Bahamut and had emerged victorious, Esper was also reunited with her sister Eluna. Home in Pallanaise, Esper and Eluna watched as Euris was greeted as a hero and celebrations were held in his name until the appearance of Sonngrand and a brood of Blue, Blue, and Red Dragons. Assaulting Pallanaise and crippling its airfields, Sonngrand sought revenge on Euris, destroying his neighborhood in Pallanaise before sitting atop the Eladrin's ruined home as a challenge of power. Beckoning Euris to turn himself over, Sonngrand remained seated in dragon-occupied Palanaise.

When Eluna attempted to turn herself over the dragons to appease their fury, Esper was furious and demanded the death of Euris instead. When Euris attempted to rally heroes to his aide, Euris' own honor-guard were convinced to turn on their master by one of his former lieutenants, Janus. Binding Euris, Janus and Fortune's Triad turned Euris over to Sonngrand who pierced the Eladrin's spine, crippling his spinal column, before dragging him into dragonfire and a slow agonizing death.

With Euris dead, Esper was calmed and remained with her sister, never again to be separated.
