Bregans story

[sblock]When the wizards came to his village, Bregan had just passed his clans rite of age. The silver key that hung around a chain on his neck represented his freedom to act of his own accord. There were no elders or council, just adults and children. If he had plans of his own he did not have time for them, as the wizards that attacked his village killed those that they could not capture.

Bregan and a dozen of his clan were taken to some hidden keep beneath the mountains. There they were imprisoned and experimented on. The captors sought to infuse their bodies with the darkness of shadow, while other wizards cut into their minds with magics. The process left some dead, others insane, and a few completely useless. Bregan was one of the three that survived, but it cannot be said that it really was Bregan.

No longer a whisper gnome, his body been transformed into a child of the shadows while his mind was sectioned off and controlled. His old self was locked inside, while his body obeyed the wizards commands.

During the process the wizards had learned of the meaning behind his silver key, and placed magics in it that enhanced their control over him. Whether done out of spite or irony, it would turn out to be Bregans salvation.

Assassinations. Infiltrations. Sabotage. For years his controllers sent him and his remaining clanmates on missions, attacking from the shadows and melting into the darkness. On what was to be his last mission, they were ordered to eliminate a powerful mage deep behind enemy lines. Traveling by night and resting by day, the trio made it all the way to the capital city of the enemy and the mages tower within. Though well-equipped and prepared for the mission, Bregans controllers had grown overconfident of him. The towers traps dispatched one of his mates, while the mages guards overpowered the other. Bregan alone made it the wizards chamber and was there nearly killed by the mages eldritch power. Besides knocking Bregan unconscious, the blasts also destroyed the silver key that was the link between him and his captors.

The mage was wise in the ways of magic, and detected the change in the magics that surrounded Bregan. Ensuring protections for himself, he healed Bregan not only in body but in his mind as well. After years of domination and servitude, he was free. Determined to make his former captors pay for the life they had taken, he rejoined the fight, this time by his own choice.


After all the battles, after many friends made and lost, after the whole world had bleed, the war ended. Given discharge papers, Bregan went to the homes of those friends he had left. Finding work when needed, he tried to put the past behind him. But as the years rolled by Bregan found his friends aging and dying while he remained young and healthy. With the death of his friends, he found that he had no connections left to the people he lived around. Those that knew of him judged him for what he has and what he had done, and those things could never be changed. The years turned into decades, and decades into lifetimes.

The appearance of the Shadowmasters has troubled him, as he knows better than most what is coming to shake the world. Afters years of trying to move past what he was, this coming threat has shown him that ones history can not be changed, but that the future is still undecided.[/sblock]

[sblock=Background]Two centuries ago, as the Wizard Wars raged fully, the Kingdom of Ghenna fought at the forefront, leading the human forces in the seemingly endless battles. Their general was a mighty warrior and a fearless leader, who fought side by side with his men as they finally defeated their foes. He weilded 'the sword that could not be broken', and with it he cut out the heart of the enemy, securing victory and an end to the war. In the early days of peace following the end of the war, General Edvik was heralded as the kingdom's greatest hero. Rewards and accolades were heaped upon him, and the common born soldier's son was raised to dizzying heights, second only to the king. Lord of the Three Waters

In the intervening years, his line has continued. Father to son, the legacy was passed along. But there were no more wars to fight. The sword that could not be broken hung unused on the wall of the lord's bedchamber. The line grew weak as the blood was thinned. No longer did war serve to weed out the least among us. The last Lord of the Three Waters was a good enough man, but weak willed. However, his son, the new lord, is as fat and useless as he is spineless.

I am not that son.

Shortly before the current lord was born, his father had an affair with a lowly scullery maid. His new wife discovered the secret and forced the maid to leave the keep. However, when she left, she did not go empty handed. The sword that could not be broken hangs no more upon that keep's wall. I believe they placed a replica there to hide their shame, but it matters not to me.

A few short months later, the maid gave birth to her son. Named after my ancenstor, I am Edvik, bastard of that noble lineage. We lived a much harsher life than my half-brother. But it has taught me to be strong, while his luxury has made him pathetic. I need no title, the sword that hangs at my side is the true legacy of my blood. It may be wrapped to hide its history, but I know the truth. And I know that I will be the one to return the sword to its proper use.[/sblock]

Perin Olhandle, Halfling Ranger

Appearance: Standing a couple inches over three feet tall, Perin Olhandle is clearly at home in the woods. His typical clothing is made of earthen-color leathers and durable cloth and his leather boots are well-used but in good repair. Where the links of his chain shirt peek out from his sleeves and tunic, they are appraised and painted to never catch the light. He carries a curious wooden shield on one hand, with crudely painted arrows pointing to its center. A battleaxe is kept at his belt, along with several pouches, including bullets for a very well cared for sling.

Usually tailing the halfling, or being ridden by him, is a pepper-furred husky with a fitted riding saddle, with a pair of small saddlebags attached. The riding dog never strays far from Perin’s side.

Background:[SBLOCK]At the beginning of the Wizard Wars, many halflings were scattered, either making their homes in isolated locations or wandering from city to city, nation to nation. They were thus easy prey for greedy armies, quickly captured and put to work to fuel the machine of war. One such place the halflings found themselves in was Willhollow. That was their name for it, of course. The official name changed as often as the fortunes of war, but to the halflings it never seemed anyone came up with a better name than theirs; naming it after the copse of Willow trees that hung over the lazy stream running through the small plain between forest and hill that soon filled with farmlands.

Of course, as the Wars continued and the demand for food for the armies increased, so too did the depredations of the halflings. The halflings organized and together, they found ways to escape into the nearby woods. There they formed a resistance movement. To protect this resistance, the most wood-savvy among them watched the ways into the wood and deterred or killed any who sought to keep them out, and to lead other escaped halflings into the resistance. Thus the Waywatchers of Willhollow were formed.

In time, the halflings were successful in reclaiming Willhollow. Poison was employed and the overlords of Willhollow were sickened, then attacked and brutally killed. Caravans and later squads of soldiers sent to Willhollow were met by ferocious barrages of sling stones, ferocious animals and cunning traps. From that point forward, no one took the effort to retake Willhollow and the halflings secured their new home.

Perin Olhandle was born of sheepherding stock; as the third son of his parents he quickly found a knack for tending the animals on the slopes above their home. To the disappointment of his father, he did not pursue the family business – he became a Waywatcher.

The Waywatchers are much different after two hundred years of peace. With no soldiers to drive off, they focus instead on keeping wild animals out of herds and crops, and the rare trespasser or vagabond out of their lands. Perin took to the task with an enthusiasm most of his fellows felt unnecessary, and still holds his post twenty-two years after coming of age – longer than any since the times of the Wars. His father tried everything to get him to come back to the family pastures and recently, his wishes were almost granted. Perin fell in love with the dark-eyed, dark-haired Prisbella.

For the first time since coming of age, Perin spent more time within the bounds of Willhollow than without. Earnest and soft-spoken in his affections, he swayed her affections and their courtship blossomed.

But Prisbella was not happy with Perin’s way of life, and she gently urged him to settle down, to return to his family’s pastures and raise sheep, so they could wed and raise a family. Perin would in turn gently refuse, as much as he cared for her, he refused to settle down. In time Prisbella’s urgings were not so gentle, and Perin’s refusals got hotter, until finally Prisbella gave Perin an ultimatum. When he refused once more, she stopped asking. A year later, she married the Miller’s son instead.

Since then, Perin has spent nearly all of his time in the woods around Willhaven. And when rumor of dark things and Shadowmaster armies reaches the Waywatchers, he is all too ready to listen and to leave Willhaven to do greater things and prove to himself and all of Willhaven that being a Waywatcher is a worthy occupation.

Background:
[sblock]Grun carries a quarterstaff which he calls "Stick." He uses it two-handed but not as a double weapon. Grun also sports a sling which he calls "Dodger." If Grun is so lucky as to be able to afford a greatsword or similar blade, he will no doubt come up with another simplistic name for his weapon. This weapon would depend upon which deity he worships and whether taking the War domain is viable for the character.

Grun's young human mother was assaulted during an orc raid of her small village. Despite the savagery of the assault, his mother, Grehilde, elected to spare her child and did not drink the obstructive brew provided her by the village's druid elder. Grun's mother was cast out by her family because of her decision and she subsequently wandered south. The winter was hard, and when at last her time came to deliver her child, Grehilde was found, weak, yet clinging to life in the wilds. As Grehilde held her infant half-orc son in her clasping arms, the lass was discovered on the eve of her death by a squad of warden dwarves to a nearby mountain clan, sent by the King of the Hall to clear a gnoll infestation that had dared to encroach upon dwarven outposts. Grehilde and child were carried back to the dwarven enclave by the squad, where Grehilde died the next day, so weak was she from childbirth and starvation. Grehilde's last great effort before meeting death was to impart her story to the warden captain who found her in the wilds--from whence she hailed, and her dying wish that Grunn be fostered within the dwarven hall.

Unwilling to order the death of an infant, even that of a half-orc, the King of the Hall sent Grun to Clan Gorunne as a fosterling. At first quite unwilling to play host to a half-orc, the family largely ignored the infant. Grun acquired his name because, aware of his pitiable status as half-orc, half-human in a world of dwarven wonder, the child did not speak his first words until age 5, preferring rather to grunt and gesture. The dwarven word for grunt being "grun," Clan Gorunn was quick to seize upon Grun as a suitable name for their unwanted fosterling.

Well known within dwarven circles for their master brewing, a dwarven uncle one day called the strapping young Grun to assist with heavy lifting in the family's underground distillery. Seeing that Grun was quiet and able, if not a tad unruly, the uncle was content to allow Grun to watch him at his work. Grun thus knows aught of brewing, particularly of ale. At the age of 16, Grun reached maturity and was obviously out of place in a dwarven family who had never really wanted him to begin with. Straining against the confines of underground life, and tired of constantly being kicked at and grumbled against, Grun bested a foster brother at swordplay badly enough that the young dwarf was sent to the Halls of Healing for a fortnight. In awe of Grun's beastly strength, Clan Gorunne called for an audience before the King of the Hall. Presented with evidence of Grun's potential destructive behavior and already disposed to a strong distaste for orcs, even ones reared to dwarven standards, the King's compromise was to send Grun away for religious training, half with the hope that Grun would mature, and half with the hope that Grun might meet an untimely demise on the road and thus cease pestering the Clans.

Because of Grun being made to feel perpetually unwelcome in his clan, he is oft uncomfortable around dwarves yet craves the familiarity of their company. Lacking social grace, Grun frequently puts his foot in his mouth and can be relied upon to nearly always say the wrong thing at precisely the wrong time. Perhaps because of his orc blood, Grun chafes at both authority and at the laws of most settled areas. Though he feels such laws constrain his free actions, Grun is wise enough to recognize that temporary acceptance of laws will help him further his goal of becoming powerful enough to avenge his mother’s demise, which he blames upon orcs and humans. Grun’s wisdom, a learned trait, is at odds with his natural predilection to favor his might; consequently, it is a constant struggle for Grun to control his brute strength and instead use his wit to overcome the obstacles life throws his way.

The only dwarven foster relative from the Hall with whom Grun feels at all accepted is his foster uncle, Drendd of Clan Gorunn, a master brewer.

[sblock=background]Coming from a long line of tacticans and battle leaders, Harlan Mueller feels pride when he hears the call to arms.

He can trace his heritage back to inspiring Lord Mueller of Fainsbrook. The same Lord Mueller who gathered the surviving men from the frozen battlefield of Trithe Lake during the winter of YR 842 and drove back the Sidhe in the Marrel Woods, despite 4 to 1 odds.

He can trace his heritage back to the brave Magnus Trovel. The same Magnus Trovel who snuck pass the Rho'Thokk Tribe of Orcs on the Plains of Tiom under the cover of night to bring word to the encamped human army that reinforcment would arrive on the third day.

Harlan can trace his heritage back to the beautiful Evoline LeCartha. The same Evoline LeCartha who spent straight, despite carrying child, in diplomacy in order to make sure the Treaty of Deavin Pass was signed by the fueding lords.

Harlan takes pride and honor from coming from such a line of heroes and dignified individuals. Growing up he had strong interest in history and nobility. His father taught him the forms and stances of the Mueller family. The same training that has been passed down from generation to generation of Mueller men.

History
[sblock]
Ekoss was born to a noble family filled with world renown Knights.

As a boy he worked as a squire and was trained to ride warhorses. While training at a remote camp in the mountains, Ekoss’s horse was spooked by a wandering griffin. The horse reared and rolled, crushing Ekoss’s left leg. It took days before a local cleric could get to the training camp and by then the boy’s leg had begun to heal on its own. Thick scar tissue and torn ligaments left Ekoss with a heavy limp. Worse than that he can support little weight and there would be no way he could ever wear heavy armor.

Unable to continue training, Ekoss returned to his father’s keep. With a crushed spirit and a leg that constantly pained him, Ekoss turned into a reclusive and lonely boy. The local wizard, Hendraxamus, felt sorry for the boy and enlisted him as a lab assistant. Within days Ekoss had peaked at a few tomes and was casting his first cantrip. Hendraxamus immediately recognized the hidden potential that Ekoss held and began to train the boy in the arcane arts.

At the age of twenty, Ekoss lost his mentor to old age. His father offered a place in his council as the Kingdom’s War Wizard but Ekoss refused. A strong wanderlust had taken over him and he set out in search of adventure.

Ekoss stands nearly six feet tall. He is clean shaven with shoulder length dirty blond hair. He is very thin and has sharp features with smoldering blue eyes. He usually wears crimson robes with a dark grey cloak. Always by his side is an ornate oak staff that he leans on heavily as he walks.

Background: Twenty years ago a human ranger named Garlus Shylok and his faithful bear companion, Grynth came upon the devastation that had been a small village in the woods. Routing around in the wreckage was a pair of owlbears. Garlus and Grynth went to work dispatching the beasts only to find that what they thought was merely two owlbears turned out to be seven. Although Garlus and Grynth were victorious, it came at a price. Grynth was mortally wounded and soon died in the arms of his companion. As the man was silently grieving for his fallen companion, Garlus heard a faint sound from one of the piles of debris that used to be a building. What seemed extremely odd was the way the building had been destroyed. Instead of being torn apart by the owlbears, this one structure had been toppled by a large tree that had fallen upon it. Upon searching the building Garlus found several dead bodies and one infant half-orc apparently unscathed by the incident. Further inspection revealed that, while the tree had indeed fallen upon the house, a blank spot in the branches caused the infant to be saved from almost certain death. Further inspection of the tree’s roots produced some sort of fungus that, over many years, had eaten through the roots causing the eventual felling of the tree. So, Garlus collected a sample of the fungus and the child, and headed to a druid grove within a week’s travel of the location. There he dropped the child off with the sample and the story. He had started calling the child Grynth in honor of his fallen comrade.

Those of the grove agreed that this child must be under Obad-Hai’s protection. The fungus sample proved to be of no known variety ever discovered. So the druids brought the child up in the ways of the druidic order. Indeed it seemed that young Grynth was destined to be a druid as it was so natural for him. On what was his eighteenth anniversary with the druids he was sent out into the woods to receive enlightenment from Obad-Hai. His only company was Molly his badger companion. While sleeping he received a message from the great nature deity proclaiming that he was to save the world from the Shadowmasters. To save the world he must find the White Rose. Upon returning to the grove he found all his fellow druids dead. They were slaughtered by some unknown force. Amongst the dead were a few of those that slew his friends. One was barely alive and with his dying breath spoke, “Death to all… The Shadowmasters will pre...” So Grynth and Molly set off in search of others to help find this White Rose, for they could not do it alone.

Personality: Grynth can best be described as a gentle giant. He has learned to keep any temper that he may have once had in check. It would probably take a considerable amount of hostility toward him to cause his temper to flair up. His companions’ well being is a completely different story. He considers it a badge of honor to keep them in the best of health at all times. Anyone causing problems with his companions must answer to him. He is well aware of his strength and knows how to use it when the opportunity presents itself.
