Message: <blockquote data-quote="TrickyUK" data-source="post: 5021716" data-attributes="member: 13504">***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!***I created a back story for Cystin that put Haddin’s half-brother Madragore as her father.Basically, Mandragore joined the Empire after the occupation of Gate Pass. Because of this Haddin was shunned and so left and resettled on the farm.Taking Walker N. Waistz’s idea of the “young” kalashtar (thanks Walker), Mandragore was sent to infiltrate a village where the some of the population had merged their souls with the trillith.However, Mandragore fell in love with one villagers and had a daughter, Crystin.He could not bring himself to report the village the Empire but he had already confided in another villager who wanted to join the Empire. This villager believed that Mandragore was now a traitor and so head off on his own.Mandragore knew what would happen when the Empire arrived and so fled with his family.The village was attacked and prisoners taken to the Scourge prison. Mandragore was hunted and died saving his wife and daughter. His wife was also fatally wounded but managed to get to Haddin’s farm before succumbing to her injuries. She asked Haddin to protect Crystin.The Empire want Crystin because they believe her prophetic power may reveal the outcome of the war (and possibly help steer it to a Regasian victory) or uncover the mystery of the Emperor’s assassination.The heroes now consider Crystin as important as the case that Torrent is trying to get to Lyceum.As an aside, the villager that betrayed the village is the brother of one of the player characters. The player wanted to play a kalashtar bard who could not remember is past and this story just developed from there. As the campaign continues, the player will slowly remember what happened.</blockquote>
