Arn Myddion:
Favored Soul of Jalivier
Arn Myddion (CR 12)
Originally a member of the Alleybashers, the young man named Arn Myddion converted to the faith of Jalivier soon after meeting Argo Flameheart. He had been an important member of the Alleybashers, and soon after Arn’s conversion, the Alleybashers fell apart. The group’s guild house was uncovered and “cleaned out” through the direct testimony of Arn.
Arn’s immediate superior in the Alleybashers had been a man named Alberich, who was one of the rogues left behind, imprisoned, in the Kopru Ruins. When the Order of the Silver Hand went back for the scoundrels, some had escaped while most of the others had perished at the claws of the demon they called “Shylock.” Alberich’s body hadn’t been amongst the dead the Order found.
Arn moved into the Sun Sanctuary to become an acolyte under Kristof Jurgensen, and took to his new life with vigor. While he was, originally, in awe of Argo, he soon came down to earth, and found a kindred spirit with the acolyte named
Mostyn Rhydderch [LN male human Clr8], who was originally from the Barony of Wolffire, to the east.
When Eddanar Westergard, the High Lightservant of the City-state of Cirrus, came to Cauldron to “inspect” the Sun Sanctuary and Argo Flameheart, the high priest ordered Kristof to have Mostyn relocated to Cirrus, as he felt the young man had the potential to become an inquisitor. Arn asked Eddanar to transfer him as well, so he could stay with his new friend, and Eddanar agreed, much to Kristof’s chagrin.
Note: In return, the Sun Sanctuary was assigned three acolytes originally from the Temple of the Burning Sun, in Cirrus — Jefferie Knobel, who became the new minister after Kristof’s death; Carcellum Lazio [LG male half-elf Clr5]; and Olaflora Naramore [NG female human Clr5]. These three acolytes were considered “troubling” by Eddanar in the fact they didn’t share some of his more “zealous” views.
Arn has taken to life in Cirrus with much zeal and he has come to respect Eddanar even more than he does Argo. And the High Lightservant has come to regard Arn as his most promising pupil, and thinks he’s almost ready to begin his indoctrination into the Inquisitors of Jalivier, formally. Mostyn wasn’t as good a student and Eddanar has relocated the young man to the temple of Jalivier in the Free City of Yuln.
Arn has been spending a great deal of time in the western lands, near the Storm Jungle, fighting the tabaxi alongside Ruphus Laro. Eddanar sent Arn to the west after receiving a request for aid from Ruphus. The young warpriest of Bast had tried to get in touch with the Order of the Silver Hand but they were on the outer planes at the time. Arn likes the west and would like to remain there after the war against the tabaxi is over, but he feels a sense of obligation to Eddanar, and won’t leave unless the High Lightservant lets him go willingly.

Description Arn Myddion is tall and wiry, with a brown shock of unkempt hair, ready smile and forgiving demeanor. He always wears his magical chain shirt over his traveling clothes. Since relocating to Cirrus, he has begun wearing the trappings of a Church Inquisitor of Jalivier including a tabard he hand-made himself. (Eddanar felt it was important for Arn to learn some sort of craft, and Arn chose weaving.) The tabard is weaved with silver thread and depicts the holy symbol of Jalivier on its front and a representation of the City-state of Cirrus on its back. Arn always carries his magical longsword and composite bow when protecting the High Lightservant.
