Zynthar Chinaskhi

One of the Wasted Elemenstors

Familiar:?

Death: Liver Failure (Not treated as canon)

Zynthar Chinaskhi or Zynthar the Renounced Elemensor was a Wasted Elemenstor who was cut out from an early first draft of Book 6, where he created The Bands of Heischar.

There he remained on the cutting room floor until marketing executives of ELotH:TESP&PRPG decided to release a map supplement and make him tell tales of the land.

The book was derided for its child-like scribbles of maps and incomprehensible legend keys ment to add realism(as Zynthar wasn't a great cartographer). What saved it though was arguably the apex of fantasy brothel descriptions done in such minute detail that the book was soon pulled from the shelves, as for some reason Zynthar coudn't draw a map but could easily draw naked women in a variety of poses in graphic detail.

Although Zynthar as a character was cut from Book 6 he is mentioned as the creator of the Bands of Heischar, although his reasons are never given. It is commonly accepted among fans that he made them before he Renounced his Elemenstor status.

While never appearing in person in any of the books, it is believed that he was the writer of the erotic story appearing half-way through Book 10.

What set Zynthar apart from the other Elemenstors was that he found it rather difficult to live off his fame and instead had to take up a number of menial jobs. Later on he managed to make a decent enough living from the books that he wrote.

It was revealed in Erotic Tales of a Wasted Elemenstor that his surname is Chinaskhi

He is believed to have died of liver failure but this is not treated as canon
