[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8578398, member: 7032019"] Currently, the connections I have in place... [B]Julius [/B]the Paladin/Warlock is the least directly connected to events, with a Solar as a parent, but my plan is to have his celestial parent be [I]kind of [/I]a jerk. His goal is to burn away impurities of the world, using his son as a tool to do so (in fact, the name that he claims is his son's TRUE name, is "Crucible"). Julius' mother still lives on a farm near Seaquen. As a Knight of the Order of the Aquiline Cross, he would have connections to Laurabec in Chapter 3, Grelfin in Chapter 6 (possibly), Rhuarc in Chapter 7, and ultimate the heart itself in Chapter 12. [B]Violet [/B]the Druid is maybe the hardest to design for, as the player gave me very little to work with. She grew up and has lived near Gate Pass all her life, perhaps in a somewhat sheltered fashion... she's going to learn, the hard way, that life is a lot messier than playing in the dirt. Connections for her include knowing about Haddin in Chapter 1, a connection to the Primordial Elemental Beasts in Chapter 10, and of course, knowing about the legend of the Aquiline Heart in chapter 12. [B]Gor'aan [/B]the Barbarian conveniently located his tribe RIGHT WHERE the Scourge Prison is. That will provide the heroes an unexpected place of respite, though he'll find his homelands ravaged by the Ragesian Inquisition. He'll have had a prior run-in with the Black Horse Mercs from Chapter 1, and return to his tribe in Chapter 8. Perhaps most notably, though, with a Trillith living within him, he'll have unique contact with Indomitability, Deception, Madness, Balance, Agony, Vigilance & Metamorphosis, and ultimately, Trilla herself. [B]Gnelly's [/B]Artificer backstory is ripe with contacts in the middle third of the story. Aside from some early helpful associations with Erdan Menash in Chapter 1, her husband's death came after being infected by the Trillith [I]Madness, [/I]which should make her knowledge about Nina Glibglammer a bit more interesting in Chapter 4. In Chapter 6, we meet both of her daughters, one of which is Jorrina Waryeye; that should make contact with Clan Millorn a bit more awkward. [B]Brena's [/B]Bardic quest to topple Onamdammin's regime is at the heart of her character. Though she comes from Ostalin (and will be reunited with her clandestine team in Chapter 5), she also has some unique connections to the Sindarese nobility, and knowledge of some Ragesian operations. She'll largely have her connections reviewed in Chapter 5, but her conflict with Onamdammin will come to a head in Chapter 11. She may not be of royal blood, but would you suppose that killing him, and claiming the Sword of Ostalin, would be enough to warrant naming her the new Khagan? [B]Ellith[/B] the Rogue, coming from Innenotdar, will have the greatest ties to the tragedy there. He'll see a good amount of pathos in Chapter 2, perhaps even finding his parents among the lost souls that Nelle now oversees. Beyond that, he doesn't have much of a connection to the greater world... perhaps one of his childhood friends was Caela from Chapter 5, who went west to search for meaning to life, rather than east, and might give the party an excuse to (foolishly) trust her words more than they should. His status as an Innenotdar survivor would also make the revalations of Ycengled Phurrst (in Chapter 7) more impactful. [/QUOTE]
