Arure-Dekal (pronounced uh-RURR-ray-deh-KAHL) are talented sorcerers and the current Warden of Teshub. Two individuals in one form, the brothers Arure and Dekal lived their early lives in separate bodies. After Dekal transferred his brother's soul into his own body following an accident in their youth, Arure-Dekal have learned to live as one.
In their youths the two siblings were inseparable. Everything they did, they did together. One day in their early teenage years, the two brothers attempted to infiltrate an eopteryx nest along the coast, with the goal of making off with loose magical feathers the flying dinosaurs had left behind. When one of the massive creatures unexpectedly returned, the brothers fled across the rough and ragged seashore. Chased by the eopteryx, Arure lost his footing and fell off the narrow cliff-side path to the rocks below. Unwilling to leave his grievously injured brother behind, Dekal pulled Arure into an alcove in which the dinosaur could not reach them. Seeing that Arure's wounds would be fatal, in his desperation Dekal hastily performed an experimental ritual to transfer his brother's soul into his own body. The ritual was successful, and even as Arure's body died on the rocky coastline his soul continued to live on.
Since then the brothers have lived as one person, Arure-Dekal. Decades of life in the same body have led the siblings to blend their personalities into a synthesis of the two. Now in their fifties, Arure-Dekal regularly switch which brother has control, usually every day or so, but to all but those that know them the closest the two are now indistinguishable. Whichever sibling is not in control goes into a deep slumber, awoken when the other decides to switch. Though the brothers initially intended to find or create a new form for Arure, they have long since come to prefer life together. While they do not share memories, Arure-Dekal's habit of keeping detailed journals ensures both brothers are aware of anything they may have missed.
As Warden of Teshub, Arure-Dekal have encouraged the city's many inventors in their endeavors. Nevertheless, they are always careful to recommend caution and moderation, lest someone's haste lead them to risky acts.
