Backstory Ibrahim Gant was an exiled swordsman who found employment in the service of House Amarillis, eventually distinguishing himself and marrying a younger daughter of the House. Four generations on and the Gants still serve, a small but valued cadet branch that provides knights and bodyguards to the Amarillis. Alanius was going to be the one to break that trend.  He entered his magical apprenticeship early, working on arcane skills at an age when most elves are still reveling in their eternal bloom of youth. Not particularly gifted, Alanius made up for this with determination and practice, mastering fundamentals absolutely before moving on to higher secrets. Soon the Abjuration and Evocation colleges were in a quiet rivalry for who would get the promising young acolyte. Then came the Spellplague. In some places it was a blue flame that changed the very landscape, in others a force that warped flesh and bone, mind and magic. It’s influence was chaotic, unpredictable, and widely felt. In Alanius case it’s touch was light, leaving him whole and sound… save for his magic. That was stripped away. The next decade was the hardest of the young elf’s life. Losing a skill or ability is always hard. Losing what you define yourself by is worse. Bereft and rudderless, Alanius crawled into a bottle, and would have proceeded to discover if elves could die of alcohol poisoning were it not for his uncle Colm. The younger elf was dragged into the family’s training salle and beaten within an inch of his life. The next day uncle Colm did the same, only with a practice blade. By the third Alanius had sobered enough to try and hit back. In this way Alanius came to learn the traditional arts of his family. Further “percussive instruction” was occasionally needed when he became maudlin, but he would come to take to blade work with the same determination he had in spellcasting. Ten years after losing his magic and trying to drink himself to an early grave, Alanius has graduated the family blade school and left home as armsman to one of the young Amarillis scions. Of average height but slim for an elf, Alanius favors a lighter style than most of his lineage. Fighting with a saber and steel buckler, he wears a simple leather buff coat and lobster tailed helm for protection. Other than the family crest on his shield (the dolphin vert on azure quartered party per cross with the lance sanguine on argent), his only decoration is a red sash, a gift from uncle Colm that conceals a holdout dagger. Belted at his side is the last of his magical tomes which Alanius peruses from time to time. Questionanaire What is the most evil thing you have ever done? Necromantic Ritual. When was the time you were the most frightened? When my magic was first stripped from me. Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable and unacceptable? If necessary to carry out my duty, to defend an innocent, or to defend myself. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? Break one's oath for personal gain. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? There are plenty of things that are physically disgusting and I would refuse to do, but if we mean morally... Kill or cause harm for my own personal gain. Too much of my early life was focused on the self, my self is not worth another's pain. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? Duty and family, which fortunately coincide at the moment. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Probably tied between mother and uncle. Between them they pulled me from my darkest place. What is your most treasured physical possession? The inherited sash of Ibrahim Gant, founder of my house. This red sash was a sign of office in his homeland, and it has been carried by every generation. Oft damaged and stained, always lovingly repaired, it is the symbol of everything we aspire to.

The other nobles of House Amarillis dislike Saryll because his true nature is not a secret, but Saryll believes that it is his half-elven blood which has caused the others to dislike him. Saryll decided to make an attempt to change his family's opinion by courting a full blooded elf and marrying her. There was a decent chance that their offspring would be fully-elven, and then Saryll would use his child to eventually subvert leadership of the house. Unfortunately for Saryll, when his son was born he proved to be very much half-elven.  The boy was named Isilir (or moon victor).  In his early years, Isilir remembered loving his mom, Alluviette, and being ignored by his father. He also remembered how cold his father treated her.  When Isilir's mother died under mysterious circumstances when he was eight years old he immediately suspected his father. He would come to learn that he wasn't the only one.  At Alluviette's funeral Isilir's grandfather pulled him aside to talk. "Isilir, my boy, I have something for you." Isilir's grandfather took the boy's hands and placed in them a red, round crystal pendant on a silver chain. "This belonged to your mother. I want you to have it. It even has a name. 'Mother's Requital'." The old elf waited to see if that name sparked any questions, but Isilir was so numb from his mother's death that all he could do was stare down at the gift. "I think it's best if you keep it's origin secret from your father. If he asks about it, just tell him it's a gift from your friend, Shellandrea." Isilir put the pendant on and has never taken it off since then. As the years passed Saryll began to train his son in how to manipulate others and win over social situations. He eventually gave him more and more responsibilities in his sordid activities. As Isiler grew older he began to resist the more illegal and morally reprehensable responsibilities he was given. Saryll began having to coerce Isilir using threats against the few people Isilir cared for. So it continued for years, and Isilir's political skills grew. It was a bitter sweet day when Saryll announced to isilir that the young man was being sent to Myth Drannor. He would still be required to complete certain tasks for his father in and around the Dalelands, and he would be sent along with a knight armsman of the Amarillis named Alanius Gant, but this was a level of freedom that Isilir longed for.  Recently, Isilir was sent along with his cousin Alanius by his father to negotiate a business deal in Sembia.  The deal hinged on loosening Netherese ties in the region. After successfully negotiating terms according to the parameters his father gave him, Isilir was free to carouse. While engaging in a night of drinking, he wandered onto the beach west of town and stumbled upon a small beach party that was celebrating around a campfire.  Before long he became the center of attention as he danced and told stories and jokes. The host of the party eventually took him aside and introduced himself as the Emir Kazazidil ibn Bahr Alnujum the noble genie lord.  Kazaz offered to befriend Isilir and give him power to outshine his father and eventually get from under his thumb.  In exchange, Kazaz can brag to his fellow genies about what an amazing and powerful vassal he has.  Isilir accepted and was shown amazing secret knowledge of the cosmos... just in time for the adventures to come. Shellandrae Amarillis - 2nd cousin to Isilir, he and Shelly grew up together and are very fond of one another. So much so that she was one reason Isilir's father decided to send him away from Evermeet. Shelly's father paid for Isilir's father to send him away. Again, the assumed reason is that he didn't want his daughter marrying a half-elf, but the real reason is the he didn't want his daughter marrying into Isilir's father's toxicity. Questionnaire What is the most evil thing you have ever done? Acting in my father's behalf, I brokered a deal supplying a highly addictive and dangerous substance to a clan of satyrs and nymphs in the Feywild. The substance has proven to be permanently mind numbing to those creatures, and with continued use would lead to an inability to reason out how to sustain one's self. When was the time you were the most frightened? As a child in the Feywild, I was the victim of some eladrins' prank. They cast a series of illusions to basically create a waking nightmare for me, and they continued it until I had thoroughly wet myself.  The illusions faded away to reveal the eladrin laughing at me.  Lesson learned; never trust an eladrin. Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable and unacceptable? If someone's decisions put them in violent contention with me then I have no quams with killing that person. Killing an innocent who holds no responsibility for being the target of violence is unacceptable.  A person who decides to take a walk through the park is an innocent, but if that person walking in the park had decided to work for a cult of bane then that is unfortunate for their safety. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? Negatively affecting someone's afterlife by unnatural means. Killing a decent person with a hellfire dagger is an example.  Worse would be to curse their life in such a way as to force a negative afterlife, such as if lycanthropy leads to an eternity of serving Malar. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? I'm really not sure there is anything. I can conceive of circumstances that would lead to me doing things I really would never want to do. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? My childhood friend Shellandrae and/or my cousin Alanius. The newfound family that is my party. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Shellandrae was a soulmate from whom I had no secrets, and she loves me regardless. Secretly, that is why I remain open about my less-than-honorable side. Once you've experienced that sort of acceptance it seems foolish to hide yourself in order to trick others to like you. What is your most treasured physical possession? I still have a letter my mother wrote to me from before she died, telling me about how I'm good enough and smart enough to accomplish anything I put my mind to. It tells me that I don't have to follow in anyone's footsteps, and that I can be greater than any other person in my life. It inspired me as a child, and encouraged me to break free from my father as an adult.

Crow (Sembia) Half Elf (Neutral Good Monk) Investigator Personality Traits I like to analyse the situation before acting, although if push comes to shove she doesn't mind jumping into a fight and thinking on the spot.

Backstory F rom a young age, she was trained by her father to protect herself from dangerous people, her father was a strict teacher but a loving father and Sharia knew he was hard on her to toughen her up for the world. Her father's teachings included knowing the inner workings of people to find out their true intention, learning how to deceive people by knowing herself and hitting things fast and hard if she got into any trouble and he was the only person in Sharia life that she truly respected and look up to. Sharia was curious about her father's behaviour as he would disappear for days, weeks or months at a time, the length he would disappear increased as Sharia got older, and if she asked about where he was going to her only answer was that she would learn everything in time, although Sharia didn't hate the alone time she had as during the times where her father would disappear. Seeing the injustices in Sembia she would put her training to the test and would investigate crimes that the guards of Searloon would avoid as they didn't want to be entangled with the thieves' guilds and other big crime organisations, and were more focused on tearing down secret temples and shrines that didn't worship Shar, however, Sharia wasn't scared to get her hands dirty and she didn't mind the extra money should make, so she became a private investigator using the alias Investigator Sparrow, carrying a card that has a golden silhouette of a sparrow to identify her. She would help the poorer people in the city who were ignored by the authorities for free as they couldn't afford to offer payments for her service, merchants who were stolen from, and business owners. A merchant with a hood covering his face came to her after she helped him find his missing shipments and gave her an upright coin with a female profile facing left and told her that she gained the goddess Waukeen's attention, it eventually became her lucky coin and Sharia started learning more about the goddess and admire her more because of her achievements. Her exploits often made her negatively cross paths with local law enforcement who were corrupt, pawns of Nethril and the various thieves guild, however, she was usually would wear a mask and hood to hide her identity when she would run into them during an investigation.

(+1) Story Awards Chapter 4: Breaking Point - Favor of Sergor Marsk (Group):   Sergor Marsk is a master weapon-smith and he has a keen interest in and knowledge of magical weapons as well as the history of  Impiltur. His skill and knowledge promises to be much more useful than the few gold coins he paid you for the help of his niece. - Favor of House Deesbrock (Group):  House Deebrock in New Sarshel is obliged to you, and can provide shelter, a good word, and any other low cost assistance a minor noble family could likely supply within the bounds of New Sarshel. - The Glory of New Sarshel (Personal): You have done a great service for the city, while at the same time striking a blow to the Fraternity of Tharos. Your deeds will not be forgotten . . . by either group. - Favor of Bhuklyn (Personal Downtime): It's always good for an adventurer to have a friend with good contacts amongst the merchant guilds of New Sarshel. The Bhuklyns are a collective of wealthy merchants, living within the city of Ravens Bluff. They made their living as iron-workers, making such everyday items as pots, cooking pans, hooks, chests and safe-boxes, including their specialty rodent-proof "Bhuklyn's boxes", all stamped with the symbol of their house. The endogenous presence of their items within homes throughout the Bluff led to the saying "Bhuklyn's is everywhere" . The Bhuklyns had phenomenal sales throughout the entirety of the Vast, and rewarded their purveyors with a larger-than-usual amount of the sales profits. While the Bhuklyns saw this as fair, it inspired significant loyalty within their vendors. Chapter 5: Lost Souls - Savior of Lost Souls (Group):  Through courage and steadfastness, you freed countless souls from demonic clutches. By doing so, you have earned the gratitude of not only the poor of New Sarshel and their Ilmatari protectors, but also the local Kelemvorites. They are not likely to forget this deed. - Blessed by Ilmater (Personal):  In return for your sacrifice, the Crying God has blessed you. A tattoo of a small blue tear has appeared in the corner of your left eye, the exact effects of which remain a mystery for now. Ilmatari and those versed in religious matters instantly recognize the symbol as a blessing from Ilmater. People who look favorably upon Ilmater’s teachings treat you with the utmost respect. Others may pity, fear or respect you depending on their predilections and values. You cannot hide the tattoo with makeup. Equipment Cloak of Protection, Cormyr (uncommon) Lightbringer (mace), Lathander (uncommon) Earring of Message (common) Potion of Greater Healing (uncommon) Scroll of Acid Arrow (2), Save DC 13, +5 Attack bonus (uncommon) Stone Defender Shield (component CR4) Heritage Item: Satchel Bag, War Wizard (uncommon) This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action. If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate. Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. This requires attunement. Backstory There are next to no records about his early life. What we have been able to confirm is that growing up he was part of a group, when the Reechers attacked he picked up a sword and started swinging. He never stopped. As he grew, so did the sword, and once he was old enough he decided to enlist. Official accounts are still unclear as to where the name came from, all that has been confirmed is the nickname "REX". The name stuck. Cormyr kept their promise and Rex saw more than his share of battle. The War Wizards offered Rex magic and he spent several years acting as a scout. He specialized in going the types of places that you wouldn't send a normal wizard into.  His current mission: Locate and assist the Hammer of Shadows however possible. If asked the following true statement, "It's in the interest of both Vesperin and Cormyr that this alliance flourish." Rex is the spirit of friendship to demonstrate Cormyr's commitment to that alliance.

You make Charisma checks with advantage when interacting with fiends. (once per chapter) Equipment Moonsickle +1 (uncommon) Potion of Healing (common) Scroll of Revivify (uncommon) Heritage Item: Sacred Plant Tattoo (uncommon) Produced bya special needle, this magic tattoo depicts mistletoe or other sacred plant and uses ink that resembles liquid bark. To attune to this item, you hold the needle to your skin where you want the tattoo to appear, pressing the needle there throughout the attunement process. When the attunement is complete, the needle turns into the ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears on the skin. If your attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes, and the needle reappears in your space. While attuned to the tattoo, you can try to cast a cantrip that you don't know. The cantrip must be be on your spell list, and you must make a DC 10 Intelligence (nature) check. If the check succeeds, you cast the spell. If the check fails, so does the spell, and the action used to cast the spell is wasted. In either case you cant use this property again until you finish a long rest. This requires attunement. Backstory Jiltrix came to be here through the slave trade stolen from the forests of Cormanthor in the Dales. Typically slavery is hidden through the trade of animals and their "handlers" in Jiltrix's case it was even more tragic as she was the animal and her sister Shae the handler. Each held hostage of the punishment of the other. Her days in slavery were spent performing at dinner parties in bear form and thus now it is only in great peril she can take on that form as the memories are too painful. Her and her sister were able to escape with the help of an unknown stranger and upon learning their weakness was the love of the other went separate ways and vowed to never cross paths again. She believes that only the strongest survive and view companionship and loyalty are weaknesses. It will take time for her to trust or depend on others again as she only sees these traits as weapons to be used against her thus justifying never returning to the forest where she was raised or acknowledging her family in any way. When in reality her family shuns her at her failure to rescue her sister sooner and the monstrous thing she had become to achieve escape.  Currently she aims to correct political wrongs and, while she feels the strongest should survive, feels a deep desire to give the weak a fighting chance and an opportunity to prove themselves as she was given during their escape. For example she will not rescue you and drop you on your doorstep but she will distract or team up on your attacker and give you the fighting edge that may be needed. She always wonders about the stranger that saved her and begrudgingly feels gratitude for her rescuer, unsure if she ever wants to know their identity. QUESTIONNAIRE What is the most evil thing you have ever done? I don't know. I constantly atone for the things I can't recall during my transformation. The unknown eats at my conscience. When was the time you were the most frightened? The first time I shifted into  a werewolf to save my sister. I had no understanding of what the priest of Malar had done to me or why this primal anger was overtaking me. Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable and unacceptable? Killing to survive vs killing for enjoyment. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? The Enslavement of  a creature. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? I will never purposely infect a human with lycanthropy willing or not. Even if they are willing they have no idea the horrors it brings. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? I would die to end the cycle of lycanthropy, to eliminate someone I know is spreading it. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? I no longer know. My sister is the person who I was most motivated to save by any means necessary but that was so many years ago and I fear anyone I get close to now I will inadvertently hurt. What is your most treasured physical possession? Due to shifting I don't treasure physical items much but along my left arm is a sleeve tattoo, currently it encompasses my collar bone and upper shoulder like a half mantle telling my life story and as I grow I am able to add more to the design.
