Kessian is an enormous tiger with subtle markings in burnt orange and sable. Bony spikes surround his eyes and run down his shoulders and spine. Oftentimes he wears leather armor, carefully cut and stiched to mimic his own coloration. An elaborate saddle, cut to be comfortable to him, often perches on his back, and a sturdy collar of iron-studded leather encircles his neck. Seven ioun stones of various colors circle his head constantly; Kessian sometimes catches them to amuse himself. He is utterly ferocious with nearly everyone except Fairweather and her chosen companions. With Faithweather he is little more than a big housecat that adores having his belly and ears scratched.

Animal Companion abilities: Link, share spells, evasion, devotion, multiattack.

Appearance: Fairweather is a sturdy-looking woman with an ageless quality about her. Her skin is weathered from a lifetime outdoors, and her hair is a simple, sandy brown. Her eyes seem like the deep green of the innermost sanctum of the forest. She wears leather armor neatly pieced together from over a dozen different animal hides, and walks the land with a staff in her hand a a club at her side.

Personality: Fairweather is above all, a realist. She has lived in both the most wild of wilderness and the most bustling of cities, and can find the power of nature in both places. She is calm and in control during most times, and it takes a great deal to ruffle her feathers. When pushed to battle, she can be as fierce as any storm, but she does not hold a grudge. She holds a great love for Kessian, the little bits of nature she finds in the most unlikely of places, and the simple pleasures of a summer shower.

Background: Fairweather was born a hunter’s daughter on the forest’s edge, the only daughter and child of Renweth Deepstrider, as his wife, Jaleen, died in childbirth. Her first days of life were rather precarious, and her father once swore to her that she only survived because of a miracle from the heavens. She learned to hunt and to respect her prey, as her father did, how to search in the woods for the foods she needed. However, it was in one of her wanderings that she was confronted by a large dire mountain tiger mother with a pair of cubs. She was certain she would die, but to her surprise, the mother tiger rubbed up against her and treated her like her own.

Astounded, she didn’t even hear her father come up behind her. When she heard his gasp, she whirled around. Her father was dead white, and she asked him, fearfully, what was going on. In a moment, Fairweather’s life was turned upside down. Her father told her that in his sorrow over his wife’s death, and the thought of his own inability to raise a babe, he took the infant Fairweather deep into the forest and left her there in a small cave. He returned a year later, out of remorse, and found his infant daughter being suckled by a dire mountain tiger. He waited until the tiger left, and then stole his daughter back, sure that her survival was a sign from the gods.

At hearing this, Fairweather was troubled, and told her father she needed to find her own path. And with that, she left with the mountain tiger. For the next several years, she lived in the woods, learning the ways of the wild from the perspective of the beasts. With the mother tiger, she raised one of the little cubs as her own, and called her new friend Kessian.

It was almost ten years befor the young druid emerged out of the woods again. She found herself drawn to the cities that her father had always disparaged, determined to find out about them. She felt that she had mastered much of the wilderness and wanted to see if she could master such an alien environment.

It took her twice as long to master the nature of the cities as it did the nature of the wild, and she lived much of that time as a dog, cat, or rat. But it was here where she learned of the life of adventuring, and power of magic, and the strength of diversity. In the city was where she learned to interact with different people, even those that found her native home as strange as she did the city.

After leaving her extended stay in the city, she spent the next several years adventuring and traveling all around the country. She taught other budding young druids the secrets of woods, but she never took an apprentice, finding little amusement in traveling with those much younger and less experienced than her. She far prefers to travel with peers, those that she will not have to protect.

Twelve years ago, when she was near her native home, she met a ranger who called himself Eedrick. He was a far-ranging man who had had nearly as much experience in the ways of the world as she. And like her, he knew the pain of losing a parent, as both of his had been killed in a senseless border war. Though she initially traveled with him for a time simply to hear his stories, she grew to like the man. He was very competent, strong, and had a deep love of the wilderness. In addition, Kessian liked him a great deal, which sealed it.

The two have been married for over a decade and have three children, a pair of ten year-old twin sons, Rik and Gannon, and an eight year-old daughter, Irene.

Description: Su'ryuu's Red Dragon heritage isn't as pronounced as most other half dragons. Her right arm is abnormally larger than the other, and has ruby red scales running up and down it, ending in a great clawed hand. Her left is otherwise normal, excluding her 4 inch long claws extending from her fingers. She has Red scales running from her right shoulder across the top half of her chest and up her neck, stopping midway at her cheaks, but not marking her chin. She has draconic clawed feat, and her legs are draconic up to an inch or so beneath her kneecaps. She has the eyes of a Great Wyrm Red dragon, glowing pools of fire and magma that erupt with blazing psionic energy whenever Su'ryuu manifests her powers. She has ash black hair that changes at the tips to a dark red, like cooling lava red. She wears loose fitting warriors clothes in shades of red and orange, the colors of her court.

Origin:
The Great Wyrm Red Dragon named Tzerelixion, like most other dragons of his ilk, demanded regular sacrifices, usually taking handful's of virgin maiden's every other month or so when he didn't demand cattle or other herd animals.
However, centuries of the same practice can get borring, but that was barely a hint at the back of his mind, what with the regular heroe's raiding his illustrious lair, failing only to be killed and their gear sold back to the town at market price. He knew how to fill his lair, and had been doing so for hundreds of years, until one curious day...

"Good afternoon, Tzerelixion." He hadn't noticed him come in. But that didn't matter. He immediately drew breath, and unleashed a torrent of wicked flame to silence the intruder. "Please, I have better things to do then to kill adventurers..." "Ah, but I am no adventurer." Tzerelixion, surprised, "What? Ok, you have some good protection there, what do you want? You have my attention" He said, thinking to himself to dispel whatever protections he had as soon as his breath weapon was usable again. "Please, I am immune to whatever assualt you could attempt. However, I am not here to releave you of your treasures. I am here to make a proposition. But let me ask you a question. Aren't you bored of all this?" Tzerelixion thought for a moment, and the seed was sown. "If answering this will get rid of you, then yes, I am a little tired of the same thing day afterday. I've already raised a family, but my mate left me some time ago, I here she was killed by dragon slayers. Since then, it's been the same thing, day in and day out. Now, be gone, I'm quite fine with my circumstance." But, the stranger reply's "Ah, but that is where you are wrong. I'll wager with you. I will double your current horde if you can sway the king's daughter without the use of magic, and produce a child." To which Tzerelixion answers "And if I don't?" "You will lose nothing. I just wish to make mischief, and I was always a fan of romance." "Well then, can I atleast alter my appearance to match that of her race?" "Yes, of course, I wouldn't deny you that." and at the finish of his final statement, the stanger disappeared.

It took several years, but Tzerelixion eventually wood the princess with gifts of treasure, magical parlor tricks, and great charisma. As soon as Tzerelixion married her and took her in the bed chamber, he disappeared, satisfied that he had completed his side of the wager. When He returned, he found that the stanger had kept his end, and the dragons horde was doubled. However, those years spent with his wife had changed him. He decided that while he would leave the humans to do as they will, he would bless his child.

With the birth of the child, the mother, who had grown bitter and depressed since the disappearance of her husband, had grown addled with the intense grief of her loss, and the pain of the coming child. On her death bed, the night the child was born, the only word that escaped her mouth when she laid her eye's apon the child "Red." The name stuck, because the girl child had a red scaled right arm, and red reptillian eyes.

Tzerelixion caught wind of his child's birth, but didn't want to reveal that it was his child. He disguised himself as an aged sorcerer, come to bless the child. But when he had come to view the child, something seemed, off. He didn't sense any of the arcane, sorcerous power that is usually linked with chromatic dragon offspring. Saddened at this, he cast a couple spells and went on his way. It would be years before he would visit the child again.

In the mean time, Red had a troubled upbringing. Her parents resented her, because it had been revealed to them that she has a red dragon's blood in her, possibly that of Tzerelixion. They also resented her because she was an abandoned child, and when they looked at her, they were reminded of a grieving daughter that lost her sanity and her life because of this child.

She grew fast, and was very intelligent. She learned quickly of her parent's resent for her, and vowed that her parents would recognize her, one way or another. She was 10 before she was visited by her father again, who wisked her away for a year on threat of destroying the entire country. The parents didn't care, and were glad to be rid of her. In that year, she learned that Tzerelixion was her father, not some terrible beast that consumed maidens for sport. She found comfort in the power promised to her by her father, and so they began planning. Red found that while she had no arcane talent, she did have psionic talent, that was fueled by the rage and torment of an unloved daughter.

In that year, Red had traveled the planes, met Crystal Dragons that had given her excelerated training. One month before she returned, she found her way to the Falls, where she had finished her training.

Standing outside her home's city walls, she sent a short message to the king. "In death, I shall know your love." As soon as he finished the letter, the city was being seiged, not by one woman, but by an army of them, moving around instantly from place to place unleashing terrible havoc apon the city. The king, watching his city, not knowing what could cause this, suddenly saw his daughter, now grown. "Red." "No grandfather, Su'ryuu, The Red Dragon." Her eyes now blazing with psionic might and great rage, she shattered his mind and sent him to one of the infinite layers of hell. Her heart full of joy, with the aroma of burning bodys and screaming commners all around, she finally, for the first time in her life, knew joy. "Well, time to finish what I started."

And so, the nation of Draxan had been established. She had either slaughtered or subjigated all in her country that didn't have any draconic heritage. Her main metropolis of Crimson was entirely populated by half dragons of all kinds. He had no need of an army, because she was her own. Able to solve conflicts in only one or two days, she was easily able to conquer the weaker surrounding lands. "I see you have made well for yourself." A stranger stated. After sending a great ball of energy through the stranger, she noticed something odd about him, it was as if he were an apparition. "Who are you?" "I am a friend of your fathers. You know, the gods are getting worried, and I have come back to take my gift." With a simple snap, he disappeared. I feel strange... After trying out most her powers, she had assumed nothing had changed, until she had tried to duplicate herself at the scale she had used to conquer entire nations. She had lost her ability to do so. Immediately, there were great beams of light, shining and bringing with them utter destruction, all across the country side. Wherever they touched, be it woodland, mountain, cottage or iron wall, nothing was left but leveled blasted landscape. "I see that I am losing more gifts than one. I hope to see you again, father." And as her sight faded out, a great beam of light disintigrated her citadel before her eyes.

properties as the Warlord’s Breastplate (83,900gp)

And nothing increases morale more than trustworthy general who also is impressive. That's why I ordered creation of impressive looking breatplate ... And since Her August Higness, may she rule untroubled, ordered me to wear things ... unpractical, charm was placed on the armour to make it look as fashion demands. Again, bath in Endless Falls magnified it's potency tenfold.*

The Empress decided it would be nice to have a new belt and ordered her champion to participate. Three days later, Tsunami was the last contestant standing. The Empress ordered her to wear it so she could display it.*

Personality:
Typically for a Maug, Tsunami understand everything trough prism of war. But unlike most of them her's prolonged contact with other creatures, especially citizens of the Golden Empire, opened her horizons ... a bit. Tsunami found purpouse in her eternal struggles to became better warrior. Selfperfection, to burn out weaknesses in the heat of conflict and arise better in the end than in the beggining. That's her main motivation. And unflinching loyalty towards Golden Empire.

Outlook:
On the first look, she is like goddes of war ... More thoroughly look will reveal
shocking truth. She is living statue of breathtakingly perfect woman, a work of genius ... devoted completly to his masterpiece. Gold marble was crafted in such way, that it create illusion of living flesh. Illusion deepens when she moves, because perfectly scluptured muscles move beneath golden skin as if part of living body. Even marble hair move like cirrus of gold in the wind, strong enough to move them. All doubts are dissapearing with touch. Even barest contact reveal that it is marble, despite that that it move like flesh. Her armaments are functional first, of great quality wich is visible because all are masterpieces on their own.

Background:
"Hey, Angel ! Do You remeber our last meeting ? Thou saved my existence, and this of my brethen. Since I heard that You like elefants, and don't want any rewards ... I had scluptured this image of one of the elefant-warriors from my homeland. Please, accept this small gift ..."
Planetar blushed, seeing smiling faces all around and moving her hands halfway towards the figurine of zovar wielding elefant-man, carved precisely from golden marble, very similiar to the hands that were giving it to her. Figurine was raising weapon above his head, it's expression so convicing that it were half expected that little warrior will cry his victory to the skyes at any moment. Perfectly scluptured face of a nymph was directed towards undecided Planetar, when her's face crossed emotion resembling slight worry.
"Why thou came here just now, Tsunami the Maug ?"
Asked celestial, finally reciving her gift ... her eyes filled with compassion.
"Her August Majesty decided that I should go ... And since peace finally returned to the Golden Empire, I had no work and were thrashing around and spoiling good marble. Is new offensive coming at the Bastion ?"
Asked Maug, easying her stance, as if to ready herself for inmediate fight.
"No, champion of light. I just heard strange gossip, that's all ..."
Maug laughed heartily, showing all teeth in joyfull grimace. Wich were bit unnerving to those knowing her, because Tsunami was smiling similiar way in the heat of battle.
"That the dark forces will invade my homeland ? They already did. We stopped them, and eradicated army sent against us. Great battles that will be remembered for thousands of years !"
Planetar surrouded herself with her wings as if suddenly frozen. She looked away and spoke with sad tone.
"I wasn't speaking of this ... Maybe it was just gossip. Do You need a Gate to Your home ?"
Maug smiled from ear to ear, and bowed her head to the Planetar.
"I will owe You. I'm thousandfold gratefull ... Could You open it to the kingdom of Yinshin ? I have gift for druids dwelling there."
Planetar nodded, unusually quiet, and recited the spell. With loud thunderclap gate opened wide. But on the other side wasn't burned wasteland of Yinshin kingdom ... There was nothingness. Grey vortex very similar to Astral Plane, bun not it. Surrouding celestial warriors opened their eyes in wide shock of the whole situation, and Planetar dropped to her knees, disbelief written all over her face, hugging desperately figurine of the elefant warrior. She whispered.
"It cannot be ..."
Maug stared straigh into the terryfing abyss where once was her homeworld.
"That's why she sent me away ... trough Bastion of Hope as well."
And Tsunami stepped into the gate, sinking momentarily into the abyss of nothingness. Grim faced Solar stopped one of the celestials who wanted to step in her trail.
"Don't ... Maug could wanted to die with her homeworld. It's her right. We have duties here. Eansha, could You close this gate ... please ? Let's spill blood of evil responsible for this destruction !"
Boomed Solar with powerful voice, raising troop's morale a bit after this dark event. And he looked at gathering hordes of demonkind.
"Chmm ... If nail is standing out, it will be rammed in line. That's why Demons will never give up. Come on folks ! We have fight to make."
Angels and others soldiers of light assembled on the fortress walls. Demonic roars filled etarnal night surrounding them.
