About: Visitors to the court of the Lotus Clan will nervously wonder why a twelve-year-old child sits on their high council, clutching an oversized hourglass. They don't feel any better when they learn that this is Lord Issyl, Dean of the College of Time, one of the most powerful wizards in the world. When they realize that eyes hundreds of years old peer from the face of a nasty little boy, nausea is a common reaction.
Lord Issyl ages slowly backwards, a condition resulting from an accident 70 years ago. Despite this misfortune, his body is free from the rampant decay that plagues many who follow the Path. Time flows ... interestingly ... around him, and he controls it to some degree. Wounds he takes in battle knit with unnatural swiftness.
Usage: He's probably the last hero I get, not that he's useless. But I feel the others are more useful. His Haste is not bad actually, and pretty useful even in peace time. Just have him standing near the rice fields and haste your peasants for faster Resource Gathering. Pretty cool!
Haste doubles your movement speed and attack speed, and give Lotus just the edge to beat other armies. Hang around for a little while after each battle, so you have a fully healed and ready to speed up Issyl.
