Was thinking about a Shadar-Kai scholar, thrown out of the Shadowfell, and taking up as a student of a known archmage. Using her already sharp intellect, she learned the arts of the arcane quickly, and started to travel to the world, looking for more knowledge, more ways to utilize her magic.

Concept and backstory

Ash (more like a nickname, she doesnt share her whole name) is a tall Eladrin woman standing nearly 6ft tall, with long flowing silvery hair, a fair skin and pearly virbrant purple eyes. Many years ago, Ash ran from the feywild to live with her human lover, a young girl she met during her frequant trip to the natural world. They lived happily togheter in a small house in the forest, near a human village. Most of the villagers did not approve of this union and did not hide their feelings about the two young girls. Pranks after pranks, insults after insults, they only grow closer to each others, ignoring the remarks. One day, one of the prank went to far and some of the villagers burned the house down. Ash and her lover were trapped in the house but Ash miraculously escaped the flames, after seeing her other half swallowed by the wild flames. Ash was lost and was taken over by madness and hate; she grabbed the first weapon she could lay her hand on and murdered most of the villager in her rage. Men, women and children did not matter. They took away the life of the one person shs loved the most, they deserved to die.... that is what she thought. Ash then disapeared for years, escaped back to the feywild. She eventually came back to the natural world, filled by grief and guilt. She travels the world with a broken heart, trying to be forgiven for what she did...

Ash is mostly an offensive focused fighter. she can strike within the blink of an eye and hit with deadly precision with her favored weapon; the longspear.

Illian was raised in an elf village situated near to an entrance to the Feywild. He's had close contact with powerful fey entities since very young, and this is clear from both his appearance and his powers. He's a well-built, 5'9" tall half-elf, exceptionally beautiful with his long light-brown hair and striking green eyes. Illian is of gentle nature, but will not suffer any restraint to his personal freedom, and will often feel deep melancholy, and definitely wanderlust. Indeed, his character was always regarded as closer to the Eladrin fey lords than to his elven peers, as capricious as a fey. But Illian is half-human, too, and when his desire for solitude ends he needs the warmth and comfort of friends. He's approximately 28 years old, but he's been lost in the Feywild and its Underdark for almost five years, so he's lost the exact count. He's built his fame fighting countless battles with Fomorian rulers and bound pacts with powerful Ghaele lords. He then managed to escape the curse that had imprisoned him out of the Material Plane thanks to the help of his current group of fellows. Illian is normally never without his magical lute, but when he wakes up he's apparently lost it and is now whining like a little kid among the laughters of his companions.What not everyone knows is that the instrument is a powerful artifact too...

Shifter(longtooth) Fighter(cleric multiclass)

Yargen was a great warrior among the shifter race. He could have been often seen meditating among the trees, centering his focus and realizing his destiny. He listened to the words of the trees and of the birds. These words led him to a greater calling. Yargen fought many things: Goblins and Orcs that dare to attack the valley which he called home. Mindflayers that kidnapped and held him prisoner in the mazes of minotaur warlords. Dragons and Demons whose unyielding arrogance couldn't get past the guard of the invincible shifter. All of that changed when the lich was defeated. Yargen felt...weak, a lesser being...all that he knew was gone, it was as though the lich had taken it all away. Yargen seeks to restore his lost skill to restore his lost battle tactics to become a savior of his people once again.

Jemal would you consider allowing a wizard focused on the illusionist spells/powers recently released by WotC?

It'd fit well with the sort of untrustworthly stuff people think of when they think of Verity.

Hey Jemal, can you clairify something for me, I got the impression that we were supposed to buy our magic items... is that not correct?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure hes giving us 3 free items. with 1500gp, we wouldn,t even be able to afford 1 6th lv item
