This is the one-year anniversary of the start of our game.
The party:
Landin Hornraven Lackman III (human Eldritch Knight fighter): A tall, strapping, blond teenager originally from the northern Sword Coast. He was orphaned as a child, but a kindly paladin named Ontharr Frume took him under his wing and placed him in Elturel to train as a paladin. Landin recently failed his paladin trial, but he hasn't told Ontharr yet; meanwhile, Ontharr has asked him to travel to Greenest and gather information about reports of increased dragon activity.
Atex V (human evoker wizard): Coming from a long line of magic users, Atex studied at the famous Hosttower and is a member of the Arcane Brotherhood. Most recently, he was in Phandelver helping to get the Forge of Spells up and running now that it has been rediscovered. While there, he started having strange apocalyptic dreams that drew him to the small town of Greenest. He is very curious and likes to look at things through him monocle with no lens, insisting it helps him see properly.
Aricanthalykrythicos (Aric for short) (human life domain cleric of Bahamut): A former gold dragon trapped in human form as punishment for his great pride. He now wanders Faerûn doing good in an attempt to redeem himself, though his bluntness and lack of social graces sometimes get in the way. He doesn't remember many specific details of his past, but he knows a lot about dragons and still has the urge to sleep on piles of gold.
Ariana yr Nusrah el Jassan (variant human Spirit Dancer (Battle Master)* fighter): Granddaughter of two famous Calishite adventurers, Ariana left home after a dispute with her parents and was making a living as a traveling dancer when she was savagely attacked by mercenary thugs delivering a message from the Cult of the Dragon. Injured and humiliated, she prayed to any deity who would listen that she might learn to defend herself. That night, she had a dream of being trained, and when she awoke, she found a pair of rapiers and a book with no writing in it lying next to her.
*Spirit Dancer is a homebrewed class. The Spirit Dancer wields two weapons and wears no armor. Otherwise it plays as a Battle Master.
NOTES: None of us are experts in Forgotten Realms lore. Our familiarity level ranges from casual to newbie. If we do anything that contradicts the canon, just chalk it up to our own ignorance!
Some PCs were rolled randomly, using the 4d6-drop-lowest method, and others used the elite array.
Aric and Ariana are played by the same player. Atex's player is not available for every session, so sometimes Landin's player runs that character as well.
