Grintham is a dwarf, morginar, unless Elthalis has some reason to wait on Raegar.

Anyways, Raegar might go kaboom with rage soon, most probably against the taskmaster or in a fight with a spellbreaker trainee.
What about his somewhat flamboyant curator? =Ъ

One need not be British to maintain one's dignity, one need only be a member of aristocracy.

Hey morginar, gonna be somewhat blunt about this, but I think Falionna's powers need some toning down.
Not that there's anything wrong with the repertoire of skills she is currently using, they're interesting and fit with the class, but I do feel you should consider reducing the actual power level a bit.
Her body recovering from fatal injuries, even as a dark ranger, overnight, for example, then immediately being able to go on and fight a group of three people, even if it was unsuccessful, does not seem feasible. If taking on impossible odds is how she rolls, ignore the latter part of that sentence, nevertheless it's unlikely to go successfully against other peoples' characters.
Realistically, it should take her a fair bit more time to recover from that amount of damage, perhaps with her even having to possess another humanoid in the mean time and work her way up. Otherwise it unintentionally makes it seem like she can shrug off anything, without being affected in the slightest, even if it is more convenient as far as the time it takes to get back into regular RPing goes. Her following the group so quickly, during the boat ride a while back, also seemed rather impractical - after all, water isn't exactly the easiest thing to walk through, even as an undead.
Getting into random fights less often may also help, that way you do not have to resort to using super powerful abilities when she is supposed to be weakened.
It makes sense that you would not want to kill her off for no good reason, I feel the same about my characters, only using super powerful abilities should be a last resort as opposed to the norm.
If you are going to have her fight a lot, try to have a clear purpose in mind for her overall, otherwise it can get in the way of the overarching plot. If you want to set something up, I'd recommend talking to the people it would involve. Even if you only provide a faint idea of what you intend, while keeping the major aspects of it a surprise, it tends to help as that way they can work with it better, instead of simply trying to get it out of the way.
Just some constructive criticism, it's a mistake absolutely every single one of us has made at some point or another in our RP careers. Basically, you're on the right track as far as the abilities she uses go, you can be as inventive and creative as you want, but make sure to keep in mind the fact other characters need a fighting chance in 1:1 combat against her. As far as her personality goes, I think you're doing great and she's far certainly far more believable than my attempts at undead characters :)

Thanks EX4K, for both the complimets and the
VERY LONG
critisism. Edited the post btw.
And you should try undead rp, nothing beats a genocidal corpse that feels no pain, lost a arm? Shrug it of and keep fighting.
Her tendancy of fighting is not my intension, trust me.
Her personality is quite the pain sometimes.
Sorry for the opness, hope she can be a wee bit diplomatic now.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with a spiteful and overconfident character who wants to pick a fight. But if you play one, you have to be able to face the consequences, and they'll likely be unpleasant.
Also:

I heartily agree, and it's utterly important that people are willing to learn, to improve, and to accept criticism.

Indeed, i didn't even realise my own foolishness there... But it is all trial and error, like how the first light bulb was made.
And I'm curious: What type of mistakes did you do?
