past a point, he has no memory of where he came from.  He avoids the subject assiduously changing the subject repeatedly or simply walking away.  He carries with him a blackwood (zalantar) staff that is slightly taller than he is and wields it in an unusual style.  Titus doesn't need much convincing to take a risk, he's not reckless, he just loves the thrill of taking a chance on something.  While his humor is a little base sometimes, and he never tires of some jokes, he is a stalwart companion. Revan el Alosir, Moon Elf Rgr2Out of Bristar in the Dale of Trees, Revan began his training to join the Rangers at a young age.  But the Rangers of Cormanthor range from Highdale to Harrowdale and there came a time when he simply could not keep up.  In his home of Deepingdale, humans and elves live together in harmony.  Only Silverymoon is more integrated than Highmoon, but such is not true of all the elves of the Dalelands and many a whisper has been made just loud enough for Revan to hear.  Some question if his sickness is a sign of some human blood in his line.  When the Drow broke loose from the Abbey of the Sword in Battledale Revan was there to help throw them back and likely would have died fighting if Titus had not saved him.  Revan is a talented tracker and has a supernatural calm about him when using his bow, regardless of the situation. Galdur Ironaxe, Gold Dwarf Clr1 of Dugmaren Brightmantle/Ftr1Galdur has spent his entire life in Eartheart in the Great Rift.  When Moradin gifted all of dwarvenkind with the Thunder Blessing the Rift for the first time looked like it might become too small for the stout dwarves that manned it.  One of the settlements of old that the Gold Dwarves of the Rift used to trade with was the ancient kingdom of Tethyamar.  Several hundred years ago when communication with the north ceased, the mining kingdom was written off as a loss, but now it was seen as a possible useful ally once more or perhaps a colony that could be expanded to once it's halls were safe again.  Using an old portal that linked the two kingdoms, a dwarven squadron of twenty strong was dispatched to ascertain the condition of Tethyamar.  Galdur was one of the six dwarves that escaped the demon infested halls with his life only to fall into Zhentarim 'care' and be escorted to the ancient town of Dagger Falls.  Galdur has since travelled extensively between Dagger Falls and Shadowdale with a human lass he met at the Old Skull Inn.  Of late he has been in and around Ashabenford aiding much needed grain wagons from the Abbey of the Golden Sheath to farmers and villages who's men were too busy defending the Dales from drow raids to bring in the harvest this year.  Galdur has a truly good heart and his gruff nature belies the compassion he has for so many. Elayne Tremaine, Human Sor2Elayne was born in North Ward of the City of Splendors.  Her mother died in childbirth despite magical aid, and her father was a somewhat cold man who's business as a trader of rare histories and scripts had little interest for her.  Elayne was largely raised by the servants and her Aunt Selspa.  Selspa had with her sister's death taken her only niece into her heart.  She did her best to treat her as her own daughter but Selspa was a bard and a traveller who often had responsibilities in many lands.  Worse, she lived in far off Shadowdale in the Heartlands far from the Sword Coast North.  But Elayne lived for her Aunt's visits and after her flowering they came more often.  Her Aunt noted some strange occurences around her niece and became concerned, though she would never let on to Elayne.  One night while at one of the wondrous garden balls meeting one of her contacts, Selspa caught Elayne spying on her.  Chiding her for her behavior with only half a heart the two spent a magical evening together that ended in heartbreak.  A man brought an urgent message to Elayne's Aunt and immediately the two left the ball.  Upon arriving home they found Elayne's father's estate and her home still burning down.  Either information regarding what happened was hard to come by or Elayne just wasn't told, but within the tenday she was packed into a carriage with her Aunt in the middle of the night for a wild race through the streets of Waterdeep followed by an endless journey passed the High Forest, across the Great Anauroch, and along the Black Road to finally arrive in Shadowdale.  Shadowdale felt like the back end of the world to Elayne and adjusting was difficult.  She spent a lot of her time in the Old Skull Inn against her Aunt's wishes who seemed continually worried about one thing or another that she would never speak of.  Troubles have been heavy in the Dales of late and even though only sixteen years old this past Summertide, Elayne has done what she could to help out travelling of late with an odd company of four that she is largely responsible for assembling.</blockquote>
