His original elven clan was wiped out by a tribe of orcs traveling north, through the Great Expanse, towards the Domain of Anoria.Just a young boy at the time, Shadlor survived the attack because his mother hid him in an abandoned coyote den. After the massacre, Shadlor crawled from the animal den to find his entire clan dead on the desert sands, blood everywhere. An orc totem lay near the body of his dead mother; Shadlor lied down next to her crying.His heart was broken and he wanted to die, but Fate had another plan for him.An old ranger, named Galor Zimmel, found Shadlor and convinced the boy to come live with him and his wife, Wren. Galor promised to teach the boy the ways of the wilderness, so that Shadlor could find the orcs who hilled his clan and defeat them, if the young desert elf agreed to adopt Bast as his goddess.Shadlor agreed and spent his entire youth learning wilderness lore from Galor and the Tenets of the Balance from Wren. He often got into trouble in the winding streets of Selquin, and was soon banned from the community. He didn’t mind, as he preferred the wilderness. When Shadlor was 30 years old, Galor told him that it was time for the young elven man to find his own way in the world. He showed Shadlor his Striders insignia and asked his adopted son to take up the mantle of a Strider of the Dawn.Shadlor agreed, and Galor and Wren sent him north to join the Striders near Lake Anoria and the Kul Moren Mountains. Eventually, Shadlor came to Cauldron and became an acolyte at the Temple of the Cat. He also knows that, somewhere, in the Kul Moren Mountains is the tribe of orcs that killed his clan. As a Strider, Shadlor often works in conjunction with the half-elves named Fario Ellegoth and Fellian Shard.Shadlor’s elven clan name is Quickstorm.hp 62 (9d8+18)---------------------------------------Male desert elf cleric 5/ranger 4 (Bast)N Medium humanoid (elf)Init +5; Senses Low-light vision; Listen +10, Spot +10Languages Elven and Halfling---------------------------------------AC 23 (+5 Dex, +8 armor), touch 15, flat-footed 18; AC 25, touch 17, flat-footed 20 with shield of faith spellImmune Sleep spells and effectsFort +10, Ref +10, Will +8 (+10 against Enchantment spells and effects); +1 racial bonus on saves against fire effects and a -1 racial penalty on saving throws against cold effectsWeakness Social penalty---------------------------------------Speed 30 feet (6 squares); 40 feet with longstrider spellMelee Mwk longspear +10 (1d8+2/x3) or--- Mwk longspear +10/+5 (1d8+2/x3) orRanged +1 shortbow (Str 15) +15 (1d6+3/x3, 60 ft.) or --- +1 shortbow (Str 15) +15/+10 (1d6+3/x3, 60 ft.)Space 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.

He dresses a bit like a wild child, which makes him stand out amongst the acolytes of the Temple of the Cat. He never goes anywhere without his magical shortbow and masterwork longspear. His spear is a heirloom from his elven family and has the history of his clan engraved on it. His bow was a gift from the ranger that raised and trained him as a boy, during his early life in Selquin.Height 5 feet 11 inches; Weight 163 lbs.---------------------------------------House Rule Shadlor (as a cleric of Bast) adds his Dexterity adjustment to his attack rolls, instead of his Strength adjustment, with the following weapons: Dagger, gauntlet, kukri, punching dagger, light shield, sap, short sword, spiked gauntlet, unarmed strike, and war claws.Social Penalty Desert elves are loners by heart and shy away from entering large cities, even when traveling with other races that call that city home. When Shadlor finds himself “crowded in” or lost in a large city he has a -2 penalty to all Charisma checks until he finds a way out of the situation.---------------------------------------[sup]1[/sup] D&D Sandstorm</blockquote>
