Description:
Ewan Driscoll is a nearly 6-foot tall athletic young man with fair skin whose exposed portions are tanned by an active outdoor life. His hair is a sandy brown lightened by the sun and pulled back into a short tail to keep it out of his eyes. His clothes are rugged but well-cut and dyed in colors to blend in to a hilly wooded landscape. He wears studded leather armor and carries the weapons of a woodsman.

Background:
Ewan comes from the Earldom of Corwyn where his father was employed as one of the king's foresters. Ewan and his three brothers (Aiden, Brian, & Duncan) were all taught the ways of the forest by their father. As soon as each brother was strong enough to pull a man's bow, he would join his father in patrolling the forests. When there were no problems, the brothers would practice stalking each other. When folk reported problems, the brothers would join their father in scouting out the bandits, humanoids, or rabid animals for the earl's men. Eventually, Aiden & Brian joined their father as king's foresters while Duncan and finally Ewan were requested to join the king's armies as scouts.

Though young, Ewan distinguished himself as a capable tracker with a good head for estimating numbers and probable routes & destinations. Ewan was involved with the capture of several bandit bands before being sent to assist the troops in finding and dealing with the incursions of ogiers and orcs along the northern D'Shai border.

[sblock=Widow's Lament]
Roak's greatsword is crafted of the finest steel, with a single fuller running 3/4 of the length of the blade. The guard consists of an arrowhead shaped center set with alexandrite, and the quillons curve toward the blade, giving the impression of deadly fangs. Cairnwalker has taken to wrapping the elaborate hardwood grip with leather thong to prevent it from becoming slippery when soaked in blood. A deceivingly simple, flat pommel finishes the weapon; careful examination will note that the pommel is inset with polished onyx, and inlaid with House Adari's golden sunburst.

[sblock=Signet Ring]
Upon leaving the family homestead, Roak's mother gifted him with an antique signet ring that once belonged to his paternal great grandfather. "Take this child so that it may protect you," she had said. The ring confers a natural AC bonus of +5 to the wearer.

The ring bears the house Adari coat of arms: A gold sunburst set on an black sapphire triangle. The ring is a large, heavy piece of jewelry. The gold of the sunburst is actually inset into the triangular cut block of black sapphire.[/sblock]

Description
Standing well over 6' in hieght, and weighing over fifteen stone, Roak is broad chested and powerfully built. His skin is well-tanned from many hours spent training in the sun, and his large hands are calloused and rough from time spent handling many weapons. Roak has a handsome face with a strong, square jaw, and a shock of curly, raven-black hair. His piercing grey eyes sparkle with intelligence, and he carries himself proudly, with an air of command. He cuts a dashing figure in his ornate armor, and the skill with which he wields his greatsword has earned him the name "Cairnwalker."

Roak's clothing and gear often bears the coat of arms of his house: A golden sunburst on a black triangle. This coat of arms sometimes appears in the older style with a crown above the trianle and sunburst, indicating House Adari's loyalty to the kingdom.



Personality
Daring, confident, courageous: these are the words that best describe Roak. The warblade is well versed in tactitcs, and works best with allies. Despite his skill and discipline, though, Roak enjoys the chaos of the swirling melee, the chance to prove himself against overwhelming odds.

Background - In Progress
Roak is a scion of the proud but minor noble house of Adari, from the [duchy/earldom/county], though his family is certainly a cadet line. Still, his noble upbringing insured that he was trained in the melee arts by some of the best masters-at-arms available. Blessed with incredible athleticism, and a superior intellect, Roak excelled at his training.

At an early age, Roak began to experience the horrors of war; first as a page at his uncle's court, then later as a squire to his elder brother Durnham. Upon attaining his 18th year, Roak was knighted, as befits a young warrior of a noble house, especially one already blooded in combat. For the next year, Roak served his family as a household knight, but eventually grew tired with the duties he was performing. Soon enough, he found a place among the operatives of Gwynedde's military, and has been serving the Kingdom ever since.

Nijel has been a work in progress to now, for sure. I keep finding mistakes. For now, he's as accurate as I can make him. :\ Welllll, I just tried to fix all the problems that Draco mentioned.

Well, okay, another small change to Nijel's background, no big deal. Really!

Nijel's hit points have finally been brought up to snufff! He should be minimally competent now, I think.

[sblock=Description]
This bald shaven, wiry man quietly looks around and then seats himself somewhat appart from the crowd. If anybody tries to approach strangely intensive black eyes fixate him until he leaves. Skin would be tanned if not for strange grayish undertones as if he just recovered from some deadly disease. Mark of the Sun can be seen prominently on his forehead. On the neck, just under hair line for those observant enough, there is faint red mark.

His clothes are gray red-rimmed with fire-like pattern. There is triangular signet ring on his left hand. Shield with emblazoned sun leans on the wall, morningstar with two-colored spikes near at hand. By occasional glint and soft clinking under the robes, one could surmise existance of some kind of armor.

AndorAnandedeAndrade.bmp

[/sblock]

[sblock=Background]
Andor Anande was born as Affik Anande, poor gipsy traveling around in his family cart with his parent and truppe. One fatal week they were at de Andrade estate providing some entertainment to villagers over the day and to lords of estate in the evenings.

They were awoken one night by the screams and crying. Several guards and servants ran around confused as to what was happening until one after another started attacking each other. This continued for some time afflicting several gypsies too. Some time after it started from the castle emerged several feral figures that hunted down those still standing around or running from the castle. Andor's parents tucked him into their cart and ran away to draw attention to themselves and were promtly killed in front of terrified child's eyes by having their throats bitten open and their life blood drained by the hunters.

Finaly, regal figure in midnight blue robes with fire motiffs and red symbol in front strode out of the gate carrying limp body of a child. Scanning the scene in front if the gate, figure purposefuly strode toward Andor's cart. As it neared it became clear it's a unearthly handsome man with pale complexion. He called to Andor and unaware that he obeyed until he was outside Andor came.

Dropping dead child in front of him he spoke:
"Ovo je osveta za ono što sam postao zahvaljujući svom pretku. De Andradi su zaboravili prokletstvo svoje obitelji i imali više od jednog djeteta kako bi nastavili lozu. Umjesto da mi dopuste da uzmem dijete odlučili su satrti lozu. Neka tako bude. Nijedan de Andrade neće živjeti ako ja, Fyrrlan Redspike de Andrade saznam za njega!"

Words were unfamiliar to Affik, but their meaning clear in his mind.

It seems that lords knew something was coming for them as they killed they own children and then themselves seconds before this creature came.

Then he bit into Andor's neck and drank bringing him to the brink of death. Whole affair lasted for the night. Nobody survived the event. Andor was brought within the castle over the day and he woke weak and helpless later during the day. After sunset he witnessed raising of his parents and other that perished that night and their feeding upon helpless villagers that were kept alive for this purpose. After everyone but Andor were dead whole entourage dissapeared into the night toward Sarath border, leaving Affik with Andor de Andrade's body, words of the message forever etched into his mind.

Affik felt strangely dettached from whole affair. There was no crying, no pain, no joy, no nothing.

In the morning he carried the boy's body outside to provisionaly burry it and headed toward nearest town. As the sun hit him he felt pain as never before, cleansing rays cleaning, burning away corruption left by the touch of the vampires. He collapsed and when he woke, saddness from the loss and thoughts of revenge were raging inferno within him. Soon it died down and left Affikfeeling empty again.

Affik decided to bury him somewhat to the side and hidden from view, he took boys signet ring and assumed the identity of Andor Anande de Andrade. Knowing that sooner or later, vampire that slew his parents will hear about him and hopefuly come to claim him.

He came into the temple of the Sun as an orphan willing to learn, to embrace the light that was taken from his life. The catastrophy was soon discovered and the bodies of the slain blessed and burned and castle abandoned as cursed.

Andor was left somewhat gray of skin, some of his earlier memories and skills deleted from his memory by life draining touch of a vampire replaced by the words and image of slaughter and Fyrrlan Redspike, being he realized later was an elder vampire.

The words echoed in his mind now translated in Illum as he learned the language of his nemesis:

"This is the revenge for what I became thanks to their ancestor. De Andrades forgot the curse of their family and had more then one child to carry on the line. Instead of letting me have the extra child they decided to end the line here and now. Let it be so. Let it be known that no de Andrade will live if I, Fyrrlan Redspike de Andrade know about him!


Andor is now humorless young man fully immersed in the power of Pelor, his inborn goodness and free spirit subdued but preserved. He only feels really alive channeling divine power of his patron and destroying abbominations that walk this earth beyond grave or beyong reality's weil. Occasionaly, he still suffers from nightmares. Sight of blood always send his blood racing and he suppresses vile urge to drink it. Sometimes, small insect or spider gets caught and eaten before Andor is aware of what is happening. He feels uncomfortable (if not outright afraid) in the darkness and always has some light source at his side.

The experience left him grayish of skin, but with unswerving focus that radiates as fiery confidence from the core of his being. Given the chance to patrol the borders he jumped at it as it put him closer to his target. Mentioning his full name in public whenever he gets the chance he hopes that some day Fyrrlan will come for him.

Officialy, he is now Liutenant in his unit, his job support and healing and occasional burial or wedding within the unit or in the villages they pass through.

[sblock=Ring of the Dragon Saint]
Before setting out on his journey and trial you had a dream of a golden dragon breathing fire on you. As you awoke from a searing pain in you right hand.....you obserrved that a ring, glowing faintly with white heat was upon your finger. The ring is fashioned from yellow gold and has two small sapphire eyes.....feel free to make up a design for the ring if you would like......the ring confers +1 to your aura and allows you to once per day engage two auras at the same time for the number of rounds equal to your level.

[sblock=background]
Padraig grew up in a devout family. His mother was especially devoted to the Light. She took care of the family, and she loved her husband, but she only truly came to life when she entered a church. Padraig learned to love the moments he shared with her in contemplation of the beauty of the Light.
As he grew older, and his interests turned to martial pursuits, he found that the only way he could connect with his mother was by finding where their interests met. Thus began several years of bonding over the stories of the Dragon Saint, a gold dragon who fought on the side of the Light in the Redemption War. The stories started with his mother's recollections of sermons and history lessons, but she quickly had to supplement her memory with creativity. Over the years, Padraig began to add to the stories himself, until the version of the Dragon Saint he knew had little to do with the true wyrm. All that matters, however, is that Padraig grew to adulthood knowing that he wanted nothing more than to follow in the Dragon Saint's footsteps and bring the Light to land held by the evil humanoids.
As soon as Padraig was old enough, he enlisted in Gwynedde's army. While some of his companions were more focused on the military skills that were being taught, Padraig found a new supply of information on his childhood hero, and he spent all of his free time learning more about the Dragon Saint, and about gold dragons in general. He yearned to have just a fraction of a dragon's powers, all so that he could use them to serve the light.
Despite his training and desire, it wasn't until his first battle that Padraig discovered that his dreams were being answered. In the midst of the battlefield, Padraig and a small contingent of his regiment were surrounded by orcs. Padraig thought hard about the fiery strength possessed by gold dragons, and wished with all his heart that he could give some of that fearsome effect to his companions to help them keep the orcs at bay. Suddenly flames started to surround all of the Gwynedde soldiers close to Padraig, flames that didn't burn the humans, but certainly hurt the orcs as they attacked.[/sblock]

Aidan's Background
[sblock]
Aidan and his brother Nijel are a study in opposites.

While Nijel took to his faith with a steadfast devotion that earned him his nickname, Aidan found their lessons stiflingly boring; preferring to spend his time outside, dragging Nijel off into the woods as often as he could get away.

It was on one such excursion when they stumbled across the fey glade. Aidan was immediately fascinated by the circle of creatures dancing; but when he tried to sneak closer for a better look he was immediately stopped short by Nijel, who grabbed the collar of his shirt and dragged him behind a nearby oak to prevent them from being seen. In hushed tones Nijel tried to persuade him to leave but Aidan's curiosity was too great and he slipped from Nijels grip to scamper from tree to tree to try and get a closer view without being seen.

As Aidan approached the edge of the glade, he caught a glimpse of a shimmering green and blue glyph hovering above a stone altar. All of a sudden, the creatures raised their hands and gave a great shout, and the glyph flashed in a bright green pulse.

The next thing Aidan remembered was being jostled awake as his brother hurriedly carried him back home. Once he was steady enough to walk, Nijel herded him back home to the tune of a constant stream of "I told you so"s.

Over the next few days it became obvious to Aidan that the viridian pulse had not left him unchanged, he could now see in the dark, and feel an underlying hum of energy from all the living creatures around him.

While Nijel trained in the church, much to his brothers disapproval Aidan spent his time in the woods; trying to understand the power that had awakened in him. For months he searched for the glade but was unable to find it until one day when he felt a stirring of power. Following it, he did find the glade again, but by the time he arrived it was deserted. Deserted, but not empty. In the center of the glade he found a pair of silver bracers, enameled in green and blue with a pattern reminiscent of the glyph he had seen above the table. Clasping them about his wrists he immediately felt his power sharpen and focus and a brilliant emerald bolt lanced out from is outstretched hand.

When his brother left to join the Military, Aidan felt the call of the wider world and followed him. Serving under Baron Timberhome has been an interesting experience for Aidan. While he cherishes the travel and time spent outdoors, he chafes under the authoritarian command structure. Fortunately Nijel manages to keep him out of trouble. Most of the time anyway.

Power Resistance: No
Power Points: 1

This power wards a creature from attacks by evil creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures. It creates a magical barrier around the subject at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the subject and has three major effects.
First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures.
Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for example) or to exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person). The protection does not prevent such effects from targeting the protected creature, but it suppresses the effect for the duration of the protection from evil effect. If the protection from evil effect ends before the effect granting mental control does, the would-be controller would then be able to mentally command the controlled creature.
Likewise, the barrier keeps out a possessing life force but does not expel one if it is in place before the spell is cast. This second effect works regardless of alignment.
Third, the power prevents bodily contact by summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such
attacks require touching the warded creature. Good summoned creatures are immune to this effect. The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature.

Appearance/Personality: Alban is an averaged sized man if more muscular than the norm. He wears his black hair cut short and is clean shaven. His fair skin is marked with the scars of a lifelong warrior. His blue eyes are hard from the death and destruction he has seen. His gaze is unwavering and sometimes considered arrogant by his superiors. When arrayed for battle Alban presents a fearsome sight in his reinforced suit of full plate armor. The fine dwarven craftsmanship is obvious in the dark heavy metal. The helmet is arranged in angular planes giving the armor a deliberate scowl topped with a crimson plume. His axe is also of fine make, but utilitarian in appearance with a stout red-oak haft and blued steel blade with an unusually sharp edge that shines in contrast with the darker metal of the rest of the blade. He wears a blue tabard with silver water fall above crossed staves—his family’s crest. When off duty and even while sleeping on campaign he wears a plain robe over well-broken in studded leather. He wears an outsized holy symbol of the Light in the form of a hand-sized amber crystal representing the rising sun on a dinner plate sized background of white gold. The symbol glows with and inner holy light that Alban varies from a dim glow to as bright as daylight depending on the situation. Though his own horse was slain early in the fighting, he has a particularly nice military style saddle and matching saddlebags. Other than these few items and some personal clothes for special occasions the majority of his kit is standard military issue. In spite of his hardness, Alban is always seeking to engage the people around him in candid discussion. This is partially motivated by a genuine desire to provide comfort and counsel as a priest, but in equal measure the warrior within him seeks to constantly evaluate the mental state of those around him to gage their steadfastness in time of adversity. Alban prays and meditates often and carries a book of scripture that he turns to frequently for guidance and enlightenment. He occasionally has a far away look suggesting some inner struggle or concern with some deeper mystery. He tends to see the simple actions he engages in as part of a larger holy mission. He is a difficult man to get close to, but a companion of unsurpassed loyalty and devotion to duty. His allies find him a comfort in battle his holy baring somehow adding a divine right to their on actions that sees them through the most difficult battles. He is seen as a good luck charm by some in the unit, with his presence helping those around him to rise beyond their normal skills to overcome considerable challenge.

History/Background: Alban was born a lesser son in the minor noble house of Bastian in Stanton. His family have served the Kings of Stanton since before the founding of the light and have an ancient tradition of military service. Their land is a hard one in the foothills near the border of the Savage Mountains. The river that marks the edge of their territory powers the family mills and their tenants produce wheat and pork from the mix of rocky and swampy ground. They have always produced enough to survive, but never to amass great wealth. Bastian Hall is an ugly stark border fort on a sharp rise over looking the river. Young Alban was educated in war, languages and Psionic arts that run in his mother’s line. In the family tradition, at puberty Alban was fostered to a distant cousin of his mother, Able Standish. The Standish family in addition to possessing Psionic gifts, is deeply religious. He was raised in the Church of the Light with the three Standish sons and two daughters of Able. He choose to attend seminary with an expectation of joining a militant order, but Alban was a strong willed lad and often had questions which made his priestly tutors uncomfortable. He longed to know the deeper mysteries and history of the Church. He questioned some traditions that seemed to be followed only because they were tradition rather than from any scriptural basis. Many in the Church had little use for Alban’s strange ideas and he seemed doomed to a career in minor unimportant postings. Then during his eighteenth year he experienced a crisis of faith. Two of his foster brothers and one of his foster sisters were slain by a rampaging giant when out riding on an afternoon when Alban had chosen to stay behind to argue a minor liturgical point with church functionaries. This experience left Alban with even more questions about the value of the church and his own purpose in life as well as a hatred of giants. Alban was devastated by the loss. He brooded for days taking little food and refusing to speak. He sought to resolve his inner feelings, but was unable to turn to others. Eventually, he was sitting in one of his dead foster brother’s rooms having an internal dialogue when in an attempt to heal itself his mind fragmented. A portion of his conscious mind was transferred to the Crystal in an ancient holy symbol hanging on the wall. Maimonides the Psycrystal was formed and Alban spent three days discussing the fine points of theology with it before emerging to take up a new path. Able Standish gave Alban the old over-sized holy symbol. Alban insisted on wearing the thing about everywhere he went much to the dismay of the priests. It was much too large and in a somewhat out-moded form. Finding he no longer felt comfortable at the seminary. Alban returned home to his parents at Bastian Hall, Herold and Gwendolyn and his siblings. He took up the long axe and heavy armor long fielded by warriors of the Bastian line. His family connections two years of hard training got him a place in the elite Stanton guard. He volunteered for difficult assignments and while at best a fair warrior among the elite he none the less always seemed to be part of the most successful units. His clerical abilities further added to his utility in the forces he served with. After some years he even served in the royal household guard. Alban grew restive in the relative peace of Stanton. When the call came for forces to go to Gwynedde he was among the first to volunteer. He is still seeking and following a holy path, just not the one he first started on.

Description:
Conrad is a tall, powerfully built dwarf. A childhood spent near the forges combined with an active traveling life has provided him with a weathered, ruddy complexion. His red hair is generally plaited into a braid down his back which is then coiled up under his helm when wearing that. His beard is well-groomed but shorter than most dwarves prefer due to his time among humans.

At the forge, Conrad wears durable leather work garb. Otherwise Conrad tends to wear dark muted red clothing under his armor. His armor is a midnight blue tinted Mithril with an engraving of the 6-point Ironstar upon an image of a mountain upon the chest. His weapons and other gear show meticulous care in their appearance and seem to be a part of him so natural are his movements while wearing them.

Personality:
By nature, Conrad is the epitome of the gruff, introspective dwarf. He has spent years traveling and working with others to overcome his nature and now is seemingly comfortable around crowds and noisy humans. When it comes to work however, Conrad is so confident in his abilities that he has no problem holding his own in a discussion or argument about it. Conrad is also very devoted to Moradin and shows a peaceful mien when in prayer.

Background:
Conrad Ironstar is a scion of the Iron Mountain Clan dwarves of the the Eastlands. Conrad's parents - Duncan and Kara - are renowned crafts folk working with all forms of metals (father) and gems and crystals (mother). Conrad spent so much time near the forges and workshops as a child withdrawing into himself that his parents worried that he was missing out on the chance to discover that there was a world outside of work.

As a member of the Iron Mountain clan, diplomatic contact with humans was a near constant in Conrad's life as the Iron Mountain was one one the dwarves major producers of mineral exports. So they pressed upon his uncle Martak to take him out into the world on his trading trips. Uncle Martak was a devotee of Moradin and a trusted merchant of the dwarven peoples who spent much time overseeing the trade with the humans. He took Conrad under his wing and showed Conrad the wonders that Moradin had placed within his creation. Under his uncle's tutelage, Conrad began to show a fierce devotion to the Soul Forger and a desire to learn more about the world around him and how to make his creations fit within the scheme of the Soul Forger's creation. He learned to live off of the bounty that Moradin provided within the world and even learned how to work with others to see his ideas move from just idle drawing to fully completed buildings and landscapes as well as the more personal craftsmanship of items of a more personal nature. While still a bit introspective and prickly around others, Conrad learned to work with them and became trusted enough to join trade missions without his uncle.

Conrad became known among the human lands as he was among the lead members in a project to rebuild some of the crumbling old Cathedrals of the Light. Conrad's delight in the work of restoring such wonderful structures outweighed the annoyance of the constant prattling of the humans about their concept of the Church of Light. As a devotee of the Soul Forger, Conrad understood their pride in their religion and just kept his beliefs out of their sight as he ministered to the dwarves involved in the project.

After ten years of working on various Churches and fortresses, Conrad was paired with a bright young dwarf named Pandak. Conrad found Pandak to be a great complement to his own skills. Where Conrad was versed in the divine powers of Moradin, Pandak was versed the arts of the arcane. Where Conrad struggled mightily to be diplomatic and work with others, Pandak found a home mingling with others. They both enjoyed the outdoors and seeing the wonders of creation although the nimble younger dwarf was definitely the more versed in those areas.

The two have been paired in several projects over the last 17 years. Although they started working together on construction projects, they have also recently been called to lead small contingents of dwarves assisting the humans in ferreting out new threats in the North. They were in the process of assisting Gwynedde in the planning of some watch posts along the D'Shai border when word of a new project came along.

The humans have decided it is time to colonize a new land in the southern seas. After discussion with his clan, Conrad has decided to join Pandak in assisting with the development of this new colony. The chance to explore more of Moradin's creation and build completely new structures to fit a new land is a draw that Conrad just can't pass up. So he has gathered his equipment and joined the expedition to chart the course of this new land.
