KoTS: Her Talon of Immaculate Fate (2nd lvl)
Posted 17th August 2008 at 08:27 AM by stonegod
In my RL Keep on the Shadowfell game, my dragonborn paladin of the Raven Queen just leveled up. Playing him is great: His only interest is tending to the dying and making sure fate is not cheated. Its sort of an Eastern mystic/Euthanatos feeling to him. He's given our party wizard fits by guarding over him at night and proclaiming Good... it was not your time yet. every morning.
Anyway, here is his stats plus his background:
Her Talon of Immaculate Fate
Appearance and Personality
Her Talon is an imposing figure nearing 6'8" in statue. His dragonborn features are concealed under fine dark robes inscribed with runes of the Raven Queen's faith over his solid steel plate armor. His cloak is made out of many fine raven's feathers, he bears a raven's skull amulet, and wears a skull helmet made out of the bones of a dragon or large bird. What draconic features can be seen reveal a male dragonborn with dusky red scales.
Her Talon is taciturn, speaking the fewest words possible and always directly‚ his imposing presence provides all the communication he needs. Her Talon's speech is rife with allusions to death, fate, entropy, and finality. While he appears quite dour, Her Talon is very sanguine about his duty as a paladin of the goddess of Death and Fate.
Background
Her Talon of Immaculate Fate is a contradiction for most dragonborn: The faith of the Raven Queen is not primary amongst them. Her Talon's unusual occupation stems from his parent's stint as guards for itinerant Ravenite clerics. When they had their firstborn, one Ravenite seer said that the child would be instrumental in carrying out their Queen's will; this sealed Her Talon's fate. Because of this, Her Talon's mannerisms seem more humanish than dragonborn, though his obvious otherness does not make him fit exactly in human communities either. This fits Her Talon of Immaculate Fate fine, for his life is his Queen's; issues of "fitting in" and such are only distractions.
Talon met Ostran the halfling tending those passing to his Queen's realm in a no-name town on his travels. The halfling decided that traveling together would be safer than doing so apart and Talon agreed with the ranger's wisdom. Along the way, they joined with the charismatic leader Eldarion and the traveling wizard Arkan and are not traveling as one.
