[sblock=Description & Background] A handsome man of average height, Gul wears clothes suitable for the North, and seems like a native, but his accent still reveals his Waterdhavian origins. He comes across as sincere, though possibly a little nosy and is generally good company, able to converse on a wide range of subjects.

Image by http://bogdan-mrk.deviantart.com/

When Gul was a teenager in Waterdeep, he studied magic at one of the colleges. He joined a secret society, excited by the intrigue while being slightly naive. It transpired that the group was a front for a group of diabolists who were making pacts with fiends. When Gul realised what was really going on, he left the cult, and Waterdeep, ending up in the Frozen North where he has put his past behind him. Though he retains a small measure of power from the pacts he made, he has sworn to use this power for good, and to focus on the harder, longer road to arcane power through study of the Weave and worship of Mystra.[/sblock]

[sblock=Story]
Euon ran a hand over the broken chair leg and frowned. Reverend Paulson wanted the altar chair fixed by the morrow, but there was not time for the glue to set. Euon cast a surreptitious look over his shoulder toward the workshop door. No one was here. No one would know, he hoped. He turned back to the chair leg and caressed the wood, thinking of the grain and how it knit together in patterned whorls strengthened by wind and weather. Drawing in a breath and closing his eyes, Euon gently grasped both pieces of the broken leg and held them together. He felt the tug of magic in his belly and concentrated, letting the energy flow through his limbs, through his calloused fingertips, and into the leg. There was a quiet snick. He looked down in satisfaction. There, good as new. Better than new. Even still, he cast another careful look at the door. It wouldn't do to be caught.

Euon returned his gaze to the leg and bent to affix the repaired piece to the body of the chair. Reaching for a hammer and nail, the cuff of his tunic rose up. Euon's eyes fell on a patch of scaly white skin at his wrist. He gasped, dropping the hammer with a loud clank. Quickly, he yanked down his shirt sleeve, his eyes darting in panic at the door. Greyscale. I have greyscale. The words churned in his mind. Fear rose in his throat. Old Norris had died three days prior from greyscale, and the town was still on quarantine. He'd have to tell Reverend. Paulson was good, Euon knew. Paulson would make sure the elders did not force him out. Euon repeated this to himself until his heart stopped thumping and he calmed.

"I'm sorry, Euon, but we must think of the safety of the community. There are women, and children, and we cannot risk their wellbeing. We've the school to run. You understand, I'm sure." Paulson's eyes shuttered to Euon's hurt, even as the Reverend moved away. Euon watched the priest, saw how he kept the desk between himself and Euon, how he hedged toward the door. Euon knew when he was unwanted. By now, it was familiar. Always, no matter where he went, others feared him. His height. His girth. The odd events that always seemed to chase his presence. Euon nodded at Reverend Paulson. Swallowing, he stuck out a hand to shake in farewell, then let it drop lamely to his side when Paulson's eyes bulged in disgust. Grimness limned the set of Euon's mouth. Nodding a second time, he turned and left. [/sblock]

[sblock=Appearance & Personality]



Willow has long chestnut hair, calm blue eyes, and a smile for everyone she meets. At 5'4", she doesn't look like she couldn't make much use of the mace slung over her shoulder, and she never does. Well, except to bang it around in the wilderness occasionally to make it look used. It's really just there in hopes of warding off opportunist ne'er-do-wells.

Personality:
Trait: I love people and am happy to socialize when passing through towns, but I'm just as happy in the deep, solitary reaches of a forest.
Ideal: Kindness: I always try to help those in need, no matter the personal cost.
Bond: Healing is my calling, and I owe those abilities to Eldath and her order.
Flaw: After years of a highly independent lifestyle, I'm not used to taking others' opinions into account.[/sblock]
[sblock=History]Willow grew up on a small farm just south of the High Forest. Though she loved tending to the animals, she would frequently disappear into the forest, always seeking to explore further than the last time. Her favorite spot was a secluded pond whose waters were inexplicably calming.

One day, on a visit to the pond, she came upon a young priest of Eldath who explained that this place was sacred to the goddess. Curious to know more, she listened to all he would tell her during his stay. He taught her some rudimentary healing magics and prayers, and encouraged her to learn to speak to the denizens of the forest to learn more. By the time he moved on, she knew that she wanted to spend her life serving Eldath, and he gifted her with a tome of prayers to the goddess.

At eighteen, Willow left home with little more than her beloved horse, Ruckus, and after a few years of study and apprenticeship she did indeed become a priestess. They've spent the years since traveling the forests of the Sword Coast while Willow tended the common folks' wounds and Eldath's holy sites. But since hearing news of the troubling giant attacks, Willow has broken with the non-confrontational nature of most followers of Eldath. Knowing this problem poses a threat to both innocent lives and the peace of the realm, she's ridden north to put her abilities to use in restoring peace.[/sblock]
