[QUOTE="Nevvur, post: 7340344, member: 6783882"] I'm currently playing a high elf ancients paladin named Anavatar Ferasine. Nav to friends. Nav wandered away from his parents and deep into the woods as a very young child (human equivalent 5 year old). He stumbled through a fey crossing and ended up in the Feywild, where he was accosted and tormented by some dark fey. A company of pixie knights in service to the Summer Court discovered the scene while on patrol, and rescued the boy. Their knight-commander, Sparkledart, brought them to his patron - Lady Ambergrove, mother of Dryads, a powerful archfey and noblelady of the Summer Court. She offered the boy a bargain: she would protect him til he came of age, at which point he would owe her service for an equal number of years. Nav consented (in so much as a 5 year old can consent to long term decisions) and enjoyed a relatively carefree youth in the Feywild, raised among pixie, sprites, nymphs, dryads, satyrs, and so on. Sparkledart began training him in martial arts as he grew older, and Ambergrove herself helped him tap into the inner light that would fuel his oath. Nav began to have romantic feelings for Ambergrove, though he never voiced them. Ambergrove sensed it, of course, and when he truly came of age, she returned him to the material plane to act as a warden for a permanent fey crossing. He served in good faith since that time. Separation from Ambergrove tempered his romantic interest, allowing him to set those feelings aside. Quick note: this character started at level 10. I joined a friend's game in progress. One of the other PCs was prophesied to become the "King of Two Worlds" (the elven kingdom on the prime material plane, and ruler of the Eladrin in the Feywild). Ambergrove caught wind of the prophecy and sent Nav to assist in the quest to forge the Sword of Kings, a symbol of that PC's right to rule. She hoped to get this would-be King in her pocket for political purposes. That was basically his 'adventure hook' for joining the party. The party recently finished the sword and returned to the Feywild to meet with the Eladrin. In preparation for this leg of their journey, they paid a visit to Ambergrove to seek guidance. Nav's feelings for her have resurfaced and he's struggling with them. Complicating matters is the fact the party earlier met an elven death knight who, Nav would later learn, had a very similar background as Nav: wandered into the Feywild, raised by Ambergrove, fell in love with her. It was the beginning of his fall. Nav can't shake his feelings despite the obvious warning contained in the death knight's story. The campaign is drawing to a close, and the DM and I have discussed a future campaign where Nav has repeated history and become a villain. [/QUOTE]
