Darby Arinshaw

Darby Arinshaw is a Half-Elf Warlock from Saltshore, and he is a core member of The Promise Crew. He wields the Oath Aegis.

Darby's Pact
While robbing Duke LeGurf, a tyrant exploiting the people of Saltshore, Darby happened upon the Wishblade - an Efreet named Volvo, bound to the magical sword. Darby entered a pact with the Efreet; Darby would find a way to release Volvo from the sword. In return, Volvo would grant Darby eldritch powers to assist in his quest, and once Volvo was freed, Darby's descendants would be wealthy.

When Darby reached the Matakai Nexus and encountered projections of Yukiri, Volvo became enraged. Darby discovered that it was Matakai, led by Yukiri, that bound Volvo to the Wishblade. Through the effigies that described the Matakai's encounters with Volvo, Darby learned that in order to free Volvo from the Wishblade, he would need the blood of five Matakai, willingly given, then the Wishblade would need to be cast into a location of great Elemental Power. His companions at the time, Mishann, Frath, Helgir, Harbiel, and Sel, all of whom are Matakai, ranged from hesitant to obstinately against releasing Volvo due to the fact that Yukiri considered the Efreet a threat.

Aegis, the Bulwark Shield
Aegis is Darby's legendary shield that he recovered from Minch's Tomb after the Promise Crew defeated the Grey Messiah.

Gorum's Hammer
Gorum's Hammer was retrieved from Kaldani's Tomb outside of Erudu. Darby can expend charges of the hammer in order to deal radiant damage to enemies.
