He knew his father had been famous and a devout follower of Kord, but was too young to remember him.  The priests raised Jacob to follow in his father’s footsteps and he had already made a minor name for himself while defending his home town against a massive orc raid.  The summons by Dorian came as a shock, although Jacob is eager to learn more about his father from someone who knew him well.Bedwyr Deathhammer (Barbarian)Bedwyr was not a happy dwarf; even other dwarves complained that he was the epitome of dwarven surliness.  Of course, Bedwyr was just not good with people and was known to being quick to anger.  He had been that way even since his father was found dead in the clanhall.  He had forsaken his training in the ways of the Dwarven Highfather and turned his attention to killing, afterall, his father had been very good at fighting.  The summons was welcome as he wanted to travel more and maybe even find some evil creatures to kill on the way.   Kristen Vocaine (Rogue)Kristen was a sultry, seductive woman who loved the sea.  She was raised on a merchant ship and had traveled the whole of the Azure Sea.  He mother had been a crafty diplomat with more than a few tricks to help her in the trade.  When she was younger, she had even shown Kristen a few of those tricks.  Kristen still regretted that she had not been aboard when the pirates had killed and burned the Dagger Maiden.  She was sure that she could have saved her mother’s life and the guilt often woke her at night.  The summons would at least allow her to learn more about the past.  He mother never spoke of the Band of the Red Eagle.  It was about time to discover why.</blockquote>
