He is tall and muscular, with fine, handsome features. He has curly hair of chestnut hue, and his eyes are the brown of soft suede leather. He is most often dressed in full plate armor and carries shield and sword, over which he wear his knight’s surcoat bearing the arms of the Knights of Light.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"><strong><u>Background</u></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">The Elareon family, once the powerful earl of Elareon, have in recent generations fallen on hard times. Three generations after the end of the Consolidation Wars, as a result of the loss of land and crushing taxes, the Elareon family sold their ancestral home near the city of Tiale and moved to the eastern reaches. Giving up the rich productive farmland that was their patrimony, the family bought vast acres of poor pastures and scrubby hills. Rebuilding the family’s life and income stream took generations. The hard work paid off though, and the lands bought by the family became fruitful and productive. The foresight of the older generations left a new legacy of a modest size manor house, productive orchards of apple and walnuts and six small satellite farms that were home to the family’s cattle and sheep.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">Growing up along the Eastern Borders meant that at a young age, Vadric was introduced to skirmish warfare. Reaching manhood he joined the family levees and once they were called out to combat marauding dwarves he experienced his first fight and a near death injury.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">After the life changing experience, Vadric decided to join the church and devote his life to his patron Saint Heironeous. With the passage of years, Vadric found himself drawn into conflict after conflict with marauding bands of orcs and ogiers and dwarves along the Valley’s eastern border. Distinguishing himself in these border skirmishes and in open battle, Vadric was knighted by the Patriarch of Eastland for his noble services and was given memberships into the Knights of the Light. Choosing to stay within the ecclesiastical circle instead of one of the branches of the order, Vadric bears only the title of Knight and has no command authority within the military hierarchy of the Knights of the Light.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">Due to his combat experience and his noble heritage, Vadric Elareon was given the position of military attaché to the Patriarch of Eastland, where he advises on military issues.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">Patriarch Grappien, an elderly man in his 80's, summoned Elareon into his office one day and announced that he was posting Elareon to Westmarch in the Borderlands. No reason was given other than he is to send all reports of ogiers and orcs and any type of humanoids that he can develop intelligence on. Passing to Elareon a small notebook made of black calves hide with silver bindings he says "Write your letters and reports to me in this. They will arrive much quicker". Patriarch Grappien then dismisses the priest and in parting says "Arrangements have been made for you to take ship at Brightlaw in the Confederation and sail to Westmarch. Let me know if you need anything" </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"><strong><u>Prized Possessions</u></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"><strong>Warsong (Longsword +2, flaming keen – adamantine)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">Warsong is wrought completely of adamantine, from its black, diamond-edged blade to its leather wrapped pommel. A masterfully balanced and deadly sharp weapon, Vadric undertook a quest sometime after his life-changing experience to recover the blade from an ancient weapon’s cache that had been forgotten long ago. The adamantine blade makes a unique ringing when it contacts other weapons, thus leading to the weapon’s name. On command, the blade of the sword is wreathed in flames...Vadric believes it to be the holy, cleansing flame of Hieroneous.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">Warsong:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"><a href="http://img270.imageshack.us/my.php?image=warsongtc0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/8987/warsongtc0.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"><strong>Valorous Plate (Full Plate+1) and Bladeward (Heavy Shield +1):</strong> These two items have been in the Elareon family for many generations. Both are masterfully crafted of fine oil-slaked steel of cobalt hue, the color having been melded into metal itself, instead of merely enameled as found on many lesser armors. Both shield and armor have the Elareon coat of arms etched prominently into them.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"><strong>Traveller’s Ring (Ring of Sustenance) and Traveller’s Pack (Handy Haversack):</strong> These two items were given to Vadric by the Church of the Light, to help facilitate the large amount of travel that Vadric has been required to do as part of his various assignments. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"><strong>Pearl of Clarity (Periapt of Wisdom):</strong> Given to Vadric as a gift several years previous by one of his mentors, Bishop Charles Tolliver, Vadric continuously wears the necklace in fond remembrance of his friend. He feels that the necklace gives him a clarity and focus that he is not normally capable of.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="font-size: 9px">I went a little over the 20K, but I wrote up some background for each magical item...let me know what I need to change.</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

Patriarch Grappien then dismisses the priest and in parting says "Arrangements have been made for you to take ship at Brightlaw in the Confederation and sail to Westmarch. Let me know if you need anything" [b][u]Prized Possessions[/u][/b] [b]Warsong (Longsword +2, flaming keen – adamantine)[/b] Warsong is wrought completely of adamantine, from its black, diamond-edged blade to its leather wrapped pommel. A masterfully balanced and deadly sharp weapon, Vadric undertook a quest sometime after his life-changing experience to recover the blade from an ancient weapon’s cache that had been forgotten long ago. The adamantine blade makes a unique ringing when it contacts other weapons, thus leading to the weapon’s name. On command, the blade of the sword is wreathed in flames...Vadric believes it to be the holy, cleansing flame of Hieroneous.

Both are masterfully crafted of fine oil-slaked steel of cobalt hue, the color having been melded into metal itself, instead of merely enameled as found on many lesser armors. Both shield and armor have the Elareon coat of arms etched prominently into them. [b]Traveller’s Ring (Ring of Sustenance) and Traveller’s Pack (Handy Haversack):[/b] These two items were given to Vadric by the Church of the Light, to help facilitate the large amount of travel that Vadric has been required to do as part of his various assignments. [b]Pearl of Clarity (Periapt of Wisdom):[/b] Given to Vadric as a gift several years previous by one of his mentors, Bishop Charles Tolliver, Vadric continuously wears the necklace in fond remembrance of his friend. He feels that the necklace gives him a clarity and focus that he is not normally capable of. I went a little over the 20K, but I wrote up some background for each magical item...let me know what I need to change.[/size][/size] [/QUOTE]
