[sblock=RACE: Human]
•Ability Score Racial Traits: Human characters gain a +2 racial bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied nature.
•Size: Humans are Medium creatures and thus receive no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
•Base Speed: Humans have a base speed of 30 feet.
•Languages: Humans begin play speaking Common. Humans with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as Druidic).
•Bonus Feat: Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.
•Skills: Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.[/sblock]
[sblock=CLASS: Inquisitor]
•Spells: An inquisitor casts divine spells drawn from the inquisitor spell list. She can cast any spell she knows at any time without preparing it ahead of time, assuming she has not yet used up her allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.
To learn or cast a spell, an inquisitor must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an inquisitor’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the inquisitor’s Wisdom modifier.
An inquisitor can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level each day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Inquisitor. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells).
•Orisons: Inquisitors learn a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Inquisitor Spells Known. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. Orisons prepared using other spell slots, such as those due to metamagic feats, are expended normally.
•Domain: Like a cleric’s deity, an inquisitor’s deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, and her values. Although not as tied to the tenets of the deity as a cleric, an inquisitor must still hold such guidelines in high regard, despite that fact she can go against them if it serves the greater good of the faith. An inquisitor can select one domain from among those belonging to her deity. She can select an alignment domain only if her alignment matches that domain. With the GM’s approval, an inquisitor can be devoted to an ideal instead of a deity, selecting one domain to represent her personal inclination and abilities. The restriction on alignment domains still applies.
Each domain grants a number of domain powers, depending on the level of the inquisitor. An inquisitor does not gain the bonus spells listed for each domain, nor does she gain bonus spell slots. The inquisitor uses her level as her effective cleric level when determining the power and effect of her domain powers. If the inquisitor has cleric levels, one of her two domain selections must be the same domain selected as an inquisitor. Levels of cleric and inquisitor stack for the purpose of determining domain powers and abilities, but not for bonus spells.
[sblock=DOMAIN: Travel (Exploration)]
Granted Powers: You are an explorer and find enlightenment in the simple joy of travel, be it by foot or conveyance or magic. Increase your base speed by 10 feet.
•Door Sight (Su): You can lay your hand upon any surface and see what is on the other side, as if using clairvoyance. Using this power takes 1 minute, during which time you must be touching the surface you want to see through. You can keep looking for as long as 10 minutes with each use of this power, but must touch the surface and take no other action the entire time. The surface cannot be thicker than 6 inches plus 1 inch per cleric level you possess. You can use this power a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
•Dimensional Hop (Sp): At 8th level, you can teleport up to 10 feet per cleric level per day as a move action. This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You must have line of sight to your destination to use this ability. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each creature brought.
[/sblock]
•Judgment (Su)
Starting at 1st level, an inquisitor can pronounce judgment upon her foes as a swift action. Starting when the judgment is made, the inquisitor receives a bonus or special ability based on the type of judgment made.
At 1st level, an inquisitor can use this ability once per day. At 4th level and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor can use this ability one additional time per day. Once activated, this ability lasts until the combat ends, at which point all of the bonuses immediately end. The inquisitor must participate in the combat to gain these bonuses. If she is frightened, panicked, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise prevented from participating in the combat, the ability does not end, but the bonuses do not resume until she can participate in the combat again.
When the inquisitor uses this ability, she must select one type of judgment to make. As a swift action, she can change this judgment to another type. If the inquisitor is evil, she receives profane bonuses instead of sacred, as appropriate. Neutral inquisitors must select profane or sacred bonuses. Once made, this choice cannot be changed.
•Destruction: The inquisitor is filled with divine wrath, gaining a +1 sacred bonus on all weapon damage rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
•Healing: The inquisitor is surrounded by a healing light, gaining fast healing 1. This causes the inquisitor to heal 1 point of damage each round as long as the inquisitor is alive and the judgment lasts. The amount of healing increases by 1 point for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
•Justice: This judgment spurs the inquisitor to seek justice, granting a +1 sacred bonus on all attack rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this bonus is doubled on all attack rolls made to confirm critical hits.
•Piercing: This judgment gives the inquisitor great focus and makes her spells more potent. This benefit grants a +1 sacred bonus on concentration checks and caster level checks made to overcome a target’s spell resistance. This bonus increases by +1 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
•Protection: The inquisitor is surrounded by a protective aura, granting a +1 sacred bonus to Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this bonus is doubled against attack rolls made to confirm critical hits against the inquisitor.
•Purity: The inquisitor is protected from the vile taint of her foes, gaining a +1 sacred bonus on all saving throws. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, the bonus is doubled against curses, diseases, and poisons.
•Resiliency: This judgment makes the inquisitor resistant to harm, granting DR 1/magic. This DR increases by 1 for every five levels she possesses. At 10th level, this DR changes from magic to an alignment (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) that is opposite the inquisitor’s. If she is neutral, the inquisitor does not receive this increase.
•Resistance: The inquisitor is shielded by a flickering aura, gaining 2 points of energy resistance against one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) chosen when the judgment is declared. The protection increases by 2 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
•Smiting: This judgment bathes the inquisitor’s weapons in a divine light. The inquisitor’s weapons count as magic for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction. At 6th level, the inquisitor’s weapons also count as one alignment type (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. The type selected must match one of the inquisitor’s alignments. If the inquisitor is neutral, she does not receive this bonus. At 10th level, the inquisitor’s weapons also count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction (but not for reducing hardness).
•Second Judgment (Ex): (Pending) At 8th level, whenever an inquisitor uses her judgment ability, she selects two different judgments, instead of one. This only consumes one use of her judgment ability. As a swift action, she can change one of these judgments to another type.
Monster Lore (Ex):The inquisitor adds her Wisdom modifier on Knowledge skill checks in addition to her Intelligence modifier, when making skill checks to identify the abilities and weaknesses of creatures.
•Stern Gaze (Ex): Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An inquisitor receives a morale bonus on all Intimidate and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (minimum +1).
•Cunning Initiative (Ex): At 2nd level, an inquisitor adds her Wisdom modifier on initiative checks, in addition to her Dexterity modifier.
•Detect Alignment (Sp): At will, an inquisitor can use detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, or detect law. She can only use one of these at any given time.
•Track (Ex): At 2nd level, an inquisitor adds half her level on Survival skill checks made to follow or identify tracks.
•Solo Tactics (Ex): At 3rd level, all of the inquisitor’s allies are treated as if they possessed the same teamwork feats as the inquisitor for the purpose of determining whether the inquisitor receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves. The allies’ positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the inquisitor to receive the listed bonus.
•Teamwork Feat: At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as teamwork feats. The inquisitor must meet the prerequisites of the selected bonus feat.
As a standard action, the inquisitor can choose to learn a new bonus teamwork feat in place of the most recent bonus teamwork feat she has already learned. In effect, the inquisitor loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. She can only change the most recent teamwork feat gained. Whenever she gains a new teamwork feat, the previous teamwork feat becomes set and cannot be changed again. An inquisitor can change her most recent teamwork feat a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom modifier.
•Bane (Su): At 5th level, an inquisitor can imbue one of her weapons with the bane weapon special ability as a swift action. She must select one creature type when she uses this ability (and a subtype if the creature type selected is humanoid or outsider). Once selected, the type can be changed as a swift action. This ability only functions while the inquisitor wields the weapon. If dropped or taken, the weapon resumes granting this ability if it is returned to the inquisitor before the duration expires. This ability lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to the inquisitor’s level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
•Discern Lies (Sp): At 5th level, an inquisitor can discern lies, as per the spell, for a number of rounds per day equal to her inquisitor level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is an immediate action.

[sblock=Elysian Bronze]First crafted in the deeps of time by the titans and bestowed as gifts to monster-slaying heroes among the lesser races, Elysian bronze retains the brazen coloration of its namesake but is as hard as steel. A weapon made of Elysian bronze adds a +1 bonus on weapon damage rolls against magical beasts and monstrous humanoids; this damage is multiplied on a critical hit. After a creature uses an Elysian bronze weapon to deal damage to a magical beast or monstrous humanoid, the wielder gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls against that specific creature type (for example, against chimeras, not all magical beasts) for the next 24 hours, or until the weapon deals damage to a different kind of magical beast or monstrous humanoid.[/sblock] [/sblock]
[sblock=APPEARANCE]
Bertram is a fairly ordinary looking human who has little trouble blending in. He looks a little older than his 28 years perhaps owing the stresses of the life he has lived. His sandy hair is flecked with gray and there are lines at the corners of his eyes. He looks about two weeks over due for a haircut and in need of a shave. He frequently smokes cheap cigars and always has a flask of whiskey handy. As a mercenary soldier he wears a breastplate and carries a small spiked shield emblazoned with the blessed iron Octogram symbol of the Sovereign Host. While his person is rough, his equipment is of high quality and the pack his is neatly organized. He wears a sword of classical design on his hip and a longbow and quiver at his shoulder. He rides an unremarkable gray horse with leather barding and a military style saddle.
[/sblock]
[sblock=HISTORY/BACKGROUND/GOALS]
Bertram Drury is a casualty of the Last War. His body has few enough scars and he still gets up each day and goes about his business, but much of who he was is lost. A native of Cyre, he had a young pretty wife and a new baby while off at war. That was before the Day of Mourning.
He was a bright and likable lad who had been a favorite of the local priest of the Sovereign Host, Father Ebere as a schoolboy. The old priest saw a lad of talent and while the boy was not interested in the life of priest he was at least able to secure him appointment to be trained as an Inquisitor. Young Bertram was a quick study and the trainers realized that his quick wits and easy manner made him a natural for undercover work. He completed his training and the order looked for an appropriate mission for him. All the while he was wooing a local girl, Markette, a talented young painter apprenticed with House Phiarlan, and as is often the way of such things when it became clear his duty would take him away into danger they wed. The lass quickly conceived a child, but Albion was sent out before the child was born.
In the war the Sovereign Host was largely neutral, but in time of war many dark deeds are preformed and once good folk sometimes turn to evil. Albion’s youth and seemingly guileless nature allowed him to easily infiltrate various dark cabals and underground cults. He was very good at his work and many a dark enterprise was uncovered by his efforts. During this time he only got leave to go home and see his wife and child once. This warm love at home kept him going through the horrors of war. He often saw people at their vilest and most base. At the same time he lived and worked alongside folk that were companions and even in a sense friends despite the wicked acts they sometimes committed. Ultimately, he had to betray them in order to root out their evil and heresy.
He took on many roles working under cover. A position was secured for him with House Orien as a freelance courier which allowed Albion to have reason to travel many places and often be looking for work in new places with the excuse that his commission was complete and the House had no outbound job for him. As time went on, Bertram increasingly played hard drinking cigar chain-smoking men of course tastes. He told himself it was only to be better at undercover work, but increasingly this is who he was becoming. He has been a mercenary soldier, an apprentice shopkeep and many others.
His life was ever changing. The one constant in his life was the family he had back home. All the changed on the Day of Mourning. He hoped against hope as the rumors of the Mournland and the horrors within spread. Eventually, he was able to journey deep into the Mournland near the Glowing Chasm. He returned alone and broken. He has never spoken of what horrors he saw there. He has said that he found his wife and child, but no more on the subject. He was never the same after that. In his mind he has questioned his faith and his place in the world. In darker moments he has been known to contemplate the Dark Six and their role in the Sovereign Host. He sometimes has strange dreams of darkness and sometimes fears that he has inadvertently become a vassal of the Traveler.
Following the War, the church has had more Inquisitors than jobs for them and Bertram has had too much time on his hands. Falling back on an old cover he has worked security on the Lightning Rail for House Orien.
Finally, he has been called back to work. The church has become aware of disturbing rumors coming out of Q’barra. Old items and possibly sites of worship lost since the Age of Demons have begun to surface as more people venture their looking to find treasure and Dragonshards. Bertram has been given a mission to travel to Drellin’s Ferry and follow up on these rumors. His cover is that of a mercenary courier.
He is tasked with delivering a Cauldron of Plenty to Brother Derny to aid in charitable works.

•Solo Tactics (Ex): At 3rd level, all of the inquisitor’s allies are treated as if they possessed the same teamwork feats as the inquisitor for the purpose of determining whether the inquisitor receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves. The allies’ positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the inquisitor to receive the listed bonus.
•Teamwork Feat: At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as teamwork feats. The inquisitor must meet the prerequisites of the selected bonus feat.
As a standard action, the inquisitor can choose to learn a new bonus teamwork feat in place of the most recent bonus teamwork feat she has already learned. In effect, the inquisitor loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. She can only change the most recent teamwork feat gained. Whenever she gains a new teamwork feat, the previous teamwork feat becomes set and cannot be changed again. An inquisitor can change her most recent teamwork feat a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom modifier.
•Bane (Su): At 5th level, an inquisitor can imbue one of her weapons with the bane weapon special ability as a swift action. She must select one creature type when she uses this ability (and a subtype if the creature type selected is humanoid or outsider). Once selected, the type can be changed as a swift action. This ability only functions while the inquisitor wields the weapon. If dropped or taken, the weapon resumes granting this ability if it is returned to the inquisitor before the duration expires. This ability lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to the inquisitor’s level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
•Discern Lies (Sp): At 5th level, an inquisitor can discern lies, as per the spell, for a number of rounds per day equal to her inquisitor level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is an immediate action.

[sblock=Elysian Bronze]First crafted in the deeps of time by the titans and bestowed as gifts to monster-slaying heroes among the lesser races, Elysian bronze retains the brazen coloration of its namesake but is as hard as steel. A weapon made of Elysian bronze adds a +1 bonus on weapon damage rolls against magical beasts and monstrous humanoids; this damage is multiplied on a critical hit. After a creature uses an Elysian bronze weapon to deal damage to a magical beast or monstrous humanoid, the wielder gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls against that specific creature type (for example, against chimeras, not all magical beasts) for the next 24 hours, or until the weapon deals damage to a different kind of magical beast or monstrous humanoid.[/sblock] [/sblock]
[sblock=APPEARANCE]
Bertram is a fairly ordinary looking human who has little trouble blending in. He looks a little older than his 28 years perhaps owing the stresses of the life he has lived. His sandy hair is flecked with gray and there are lines at the corners of his eyes. He looks about two weeks over due for a haircut and in need of a shave. He frequently smokes cheap cigars and always has a flask of whiskey handy. As a mercenary soldier he wears a breastplate and carries a small spiked shield emblazoned with the blessed iron Octogram symbol of the Sovereign Host. While his person is rough, his equipment is of high quality and the pack his is neatly organized. He wears a sword of classical design on his hip and a longbow and quiver at his shoulder. He rides an unremarkable gray horse with leather barding and a military style saddle.
[/sblock]
[sblock=HISTORY/BACKGROUND/GOALS]
Bertram Drury is a casualty of the Last War. His body has few enough scars and he still gets up each day and goes about his business, but much of who he was is lost. A native of Cyre, he had a young pretty wife and a new baby while off at war. That was before the Day of Mourning.
He was a bright and likable lad who had been a favorite of the local priest of the Sovereign Host, Father Ebere as a schoolboy. The old priest saw a lad of talent and while the boy was not interested in the life of priest he was at least able to secure him appointment to be trained as an Inquisitor. Young Bertram was a quick study and the trainers realized that his quick wits and easy manner made him a natural for undercover work. He completed his training and the order looked for an appropriate mission for him. All the while he was wooing a local girl, Markette, a talented young painter apprenticed with House Phiarlan, and as is often the way of such things when it became clear his duty would take him away into danger they wed. The lass quickly conceived a child, but Albion was sent out before the child was born.
In the war the Sovereign Host was largely neutral, but in time of war many dark deeds are preformed and once good folk sometimes turn to evil. Albion’s youth and seemingly guileless nature allowed him to easily infiltrate various dark cabals and underground cults. He was very good at his work and many a dark enterprise was uncovered by his efforts. During this time he only got leave to go home and see his wife and child once. This warm love at home kept him going through the horrors of war. He often saw people at their vilest and most base. At the same time he lived and worked alongside folk that were companions and even in a sense friends despite the wicked acts they sometimes committed. Ultimately, he had to betray them in order to root out their evil and heresy.
He took on many roles working under cover. A position was secured for him with House Orien as a freelance courier which allowed Albion to have reason to travel many places and often be looking for work in new places with the excuse that his commission was complete and the House had no outbound job for him. As time went on, Bertram increasingly played hard drinking cigar chain-smoking men of course tastes. He told himself it was only to be better at undercover work, but increasingly this is who he was becoming. He has been a mercenary soldier, an apprentice shopkeep and many others.
His life was ever changing. The one constant in his life was the family he had back home. All the changed on the Day of Mourning. He hoped against hope as the rumors of the Mournland and the horrors within spread. Eventually, he was able to journey deep into the Mournland near the Glowing Chasm. He returned alone and broken. He has never spoken of what horrors he saw there. He has said that he found his wife and child, but no more on the subject. He was never the same after that. In his mind he has questioned his faith and his place in the world. In darker moments he has been known to contemplate the Dark Six and their role in the Sovereign Host. He sometimes has strange dreams of darkness and sometimes fears that he has inadvertently become a vassal of the Traveler.
Following the War, the church has had more Inquisitors than jobs for them and Bertram has had too much time on his hands. Falling back on an old cover he has worked security on the Lightning Rail for House Orien.
Finally, he has been called back to work. The church has become aware of disturbing rumors coming out of Q’barra. Old items and possibly sites of worship lost since the Age of Demons have begun to surface as more people venture their looking to find treasure and Dragonshards. Bertram has been given a mission to travel to Drellin’s Ferry and follow up on these rumors. His cover is that of a mercenary courier.
He is tasked with delivering a Cauldron of Plenty to Brother Derny to aid in charitable works.

[sblock=Boom-boom]Name: Zark "Boom-Boom" Ryder, A.K.A. Bazooka Zark
Class: Artificer
Race: Goblin (Humanoid, Goblinoid)
Size: Small
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral
Appearance:
This tiny blue goblin is quite below average in both height and weight. His beady yellow eyes match his crusty yellow teeth, and the tufts of yellow-blond hair that stick out over his ears almost perfectly. His custom armor and shield are tinted blue to match the medium sized cannon he rides through the air. Bangarang is an improved flying arbelester homunculus, built into a custom crossbow cannon. Stylized as much of the artificer's work is with gears, crystals and steam pipes, all decked out with gold and silver filegree detailing. The cannon has a face with crystal eyes that scan the area for enemies and a pair of down angled wings that do more for the form of the cannon that the function of its flight.
Demeanor:
Zark seems to careen through life's challenges rather than sitting back to see what happens. Nobody seems to get his over-analitical sense of humor, but it always makes him laugh. His savant level mastery of artificing leaves many wondering how he is even still alive, but his ingenious machinations speak for themselves on the battlefield. Boom-Boom, as he is affectionately known, likes to see people wide eyed with awe, though looks of horror, confusion, disgust and revulsion all look like awe to him.
Background:
Growing up in the capital of Qbarra gave this technosavy goblin a finger on the pulse of the nation's dealings and plugged him directly into close quarters with many of the movers and shakers of the country. His proclivities gained him audience with those his lowly station as a goblin would not have allowed contact. He used his connections to gather and combine rare materials and powerful magics far beyond the reach of a lesser techno-machina enthusiast would be capable of, which only helped fuel the fire of his modest legend.
Having a natural affinity with machines and magical tools, Zark sought out the fabricator's guild long before he was even of an age to petition for admittance. He devoured knowledge and secret methodology that some vetrans were afraid to seek, learning lost arts on the side as his studies of the more reliable magics proceeded unhindered. Once he learned the secrets of the homunculus, and finally crafted his trusty companion Bangarang, he figured it was time to see what the rest of the realm could teach him during the summer break from the guild. He still wants to learn the mysteries of the golem and the ring, though the call of becoming more familiar with the grafter's art has ruined more than a few fitful night's rest.
He is on his way to the ferry to deliver some design plans to a field agent of the fabricator's guild named Amblin. Supposedly this guild lieutenant is doing some ground-breaking work with dragonshards, and Boom-boom is eager to find out how much bigger the booms can get using this unstable mineral.

Zark seems to careen through life's challenges rather than sitting back to see what happens. Nobody seems to get his over-analitical sense of humor, but it always makes him laugh. His savant level mastery of artificing leaves many wondering how he is even still alive, but his ingenious machinations speak for themselves on the battlefield. Boom-Boom, as he is affectionately known, likes to see people wide eyed with awe, though looks of horror, confusion, disgust and revulsion all look like awe to him.
Background:
Growing up in the capital of Qbarra gave this technosavy goblin a finger on the pulse of the nation's dealings and plugged him directly into close quarters with many of the movers and shakers of the country. His proclivities gained him audience with those his lowly station as a goblin would not have allowed contact. He used his connections to gather and combine rare materials and powerful magics far beyond the reach of a lesser techno-machina enthusiast would be capable of, which only helped fuel the fire of his modest legend.
Having a natural affinity with machines and magical tools, Zark sought out the fabricator's guild long before he was even of an age to petition for admittance. He devoured knowledge and secret methodology that some vetrans were afraid to seek, learning lost arts on the side as his studies of the more reliable magics proceeded unhindered. Once he learned the secrets of the homunculus, and finally crafted his trusty companion Bangarang, he figured it was time to see what the rest of the realm could teach him during the summer break from the guild. He still wants to learn the mysteries of the golem and the ring, though the call of becoming more familiar with the grafter's art has ruined more than a few fitful night's rest.
He is on his way to the ferry to deliver some design plans to a field agent of the fabricator's guild named Amblin. Supposedly this guild lieutenant is doing some ground-breaking work with dragonshards, and Boom-boom is eager to find out how much bigger the booms can get using this unstable mineral.

[sblock=Background]For a magician like Sark it should come as no surprise that he calls Aundair home. But his path to the arcane power and eldritch secrets was not like most of the academy wizards there. Despite a gifted intellect he was never tested or enrolled in one of the great schools in Fairhaven. At least not as a child or young man.
Sark grew up as one of the common folk. Well, that might not be quite correct: being a changeling he grew up as several common folk. His father was a general labourer and handyman who used his shapeshifting abilities as part of finding diverse work rather than as part of his work. His mother was sometimes a housewife and sometimes a maid depending on her state of mind, easily able to abandon an identity along with a job as her whims permitted. Her habits could be something of a consternation for Sark's father, but they managed to get by and provide for their three children.
Sark and his two siblings grew up dreaming of something more. While their parents had not provided a very inspiring example of the practical uses of changeling abilities, another way out was ever present on a continent wracked by war: military service. Sark and his younger brother enlisted in the Aundairian military. Actually, they enlisted several times as different people until they were both assigned to the same unit. Their older sister was not as keen on fighting so she instead enlisted in the medical corps to be a nurse. At least that is what she was doing when they last heard of her It can be difficult to keep track of folks when they change who they are from time to time.
In any case, Sark and his brother saw combat several times in their first year. They formed bonds with their fellows soldiers, but unfortunately those bonds were not strong enough to avoid suspicion when they eventually revealed themselves to be changelings. Things changed overnight, and now they were the objects of distrust. But word came down from the higher ups that their dedication to Queen and country would not be overlooked as their talents had practical military use. They were transferred to a special forces unit and trained in new forms of warfare.
Sark and his brother lasted for almost two years in the special forces before tragedy struck: while on a mission, Sark was wounded and his brother captured by enemy soldiers. He never saw him again, and his commanders told him his brother had died in the enemy stockades. Distraught, Sark took his and his brother's belongings and back pay and deserted.
Aundair may be one of the nations most steeped in magic, but in the military Sark had had a chance to see wizards and sorcerers at work much closer than he had growing up, and he was envious of their abilities. Using his special training for petty crime turned out to be easier than he would have thought, and he scraped together enough money to adopt a new identity and buy an apprenticeship from a wizard who cared more about the money than any potential holes in his story. With his natural smarts and the discipline he had learned in the military he learned quickly.
Sark's training as an apprentice wizard was successful enough that when he was done, hurting for cash by this time, there was still enough time to re-enlist in the military, this time as a part of the mages' contingent. He briefly got to see how the other side lived (remarkably like any other soldier except superficially) before the Day of Mourning occurred and the road to the end of the Last War began. He remained as a soldier until the Treaty of Thronehold was signed, after which he mustered out.
With all of his experience, the changeling was not able to adapt to the prospects of full time ordinary study of the arcane arts, or to settling down much at all. In the two years between the Day of Mourning and the end of the war though he met many diverse people and made several contacts, including with some officials from House Orien who often accompanied diplomats travelling on the Lightning Rail to and from various summits. After the War he re-established contacts with some of those officials revealed his secret as a changeling. They were able to offer him work, well, suitable to his abilities.
This delivery to New Galifar is but the latest task Sark has received. Delivery man is not exactly the ideal use of shapeshifting, but lately Sark has been feeling guilty about what happened to his brother and the fact that he never had the courage to tell his parents. Not to mention he has never seen (to his knowledge) his sister again either. So he thought that perhaps getting away to somewhere far away from battlefields and old soldiers would be something of a vacation. A dangerous vacation, but nothing he should not be able to handle.
Sark is currently travelling under the name of Arthun Logale, a newly assumed identity. His story is that his widowed mother married into a rich family, but he never saw eye-to-eye with his stepfather and thus left the household to join a mercenary company. He saw enough combat during the Last War, but most of it was far away from the front lines.
