Background
Verakka hails from some distant swamp of the Southlands. He doesn't ever speak
of his home, except to say that he is no longer welcome there for undisclosed
reasons. Early in the young Lizardman's life outside of his tribe, Verakka was taken
by Slavers and sold far in the south to a Gladiatorial Arena. Fighting for his
survival, Verakka learned the use of many weapons, as well as perfecting his
natural weaponry. A savagery untapped, as well as the will to survive and be free
eventually led to Verakka's chance to escape. Scaling a Wall in the dead of night,
Verakka headed north to the city of Hurndollin, living amongst the dregs of the
city and learning the skills of the Rogue. It was here, as well, that Verakka
encountered a Society of Rogues, dedicated to a Dueling tradition as a matter of
Honor. Verakka cut an odd figure, dueling in the back alleys and streets, a reptilian
Swashbuckler, and he gained quite a reputation as a settler of disputes. After a
year or so like this, Verakka left the cities of the Midlands and continued North,
living off the land and taking work as a Bounty hunter, where his combat skills
proved invaluable. recently, Verakka has manifested arcane powers, leading to his
current state and obsession with things magical. Taking on a small Pit Viper as a
familiar, Verakka has come to the Banewarrens, seeking to solve the mystery of
their Opening.

Description: Morden is a delicately-featured young man with light blonde hair, icy blue eyes and an easy smile. He strikes one as more "pretty" than handsome. His attire is clean, neat and very typical of a novice wizard--robes, a well-organized spell pouch and a shiny dagger betraying its lack of use. The only odd thing about his ensemble is the long bow and quiver. His overall build is average--both in height and build--and rather unremarkable.

Background: Morden "The Pious" Kainen V is the great, great, great, great grandson of the renowned archmage of Greyhawk. Although factual documentation and certifiable testimony may be lacking to prove such a claim, fate itself seems to agree with the claim. He has always lived a charmed life, as if the great archmage himself had been there to play the guardian angel and assure his distant progeny's success. While one would suspect such a connection to be a constant source of danger and problems, it was not the case for Morden. In fact, he seemed to have reaped only the benefit and suffered none of the consequences. A large inheritance from his mother--the great, great granddaughter of Mordenkainen--left Morden with all his basic needs fulfilled at an early age. His nature talent for the arcane arts seemed another great gift. Admissions to the prestigious Academy of High Wizardry came all too easy for him.

Even life after the Academy seemed blessed, as he met up with the famed Eadric, High Elven Paladin of the Church of Corellon Larethian, and his troupe of war-dancers as his first adventuring crew. That adventure literally dropped into his arms Princess Ariona of Albion, who became quite smitten with young Morden rather quickly. When he returned to Albion with the princess, he was even offered a chance to wed the damsel, although he declined in favor of more adventuring under the pretense of proving his worth. He headed off the Ptolus to search out a new flavor for adventure and promised his fiancee a dear gift from a true heart. So far, every time Morden spoke his name and claimed his heritage good things seem to happen for him. Well, maybe his luck is finally spent in Ptolus; but then again, who knows....

OOC: A ridiculous background I know, but fun to write at least.

[GruTheWanderer]

You are both in. Feel free to join the IC dialogue immediately. Finish the characters in the next few days.

My assumption is that you are friends of the characters already in the action, who catch up with them after the recent strange events.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Cool.
