The current party composition is as follows:
Trajan the sword saint, Ftr2/Jazumai5/Sword Saint3
Anne-Marie the duellist, Ftr6/Monk2/Duellist1
Meliamne the bard, Elven bard 7
Arilyn the stormlord, Wizard 8
* Jazumai are a campaign variant of the paladin. Sword Saint is a slightly modified version of the Iaijutsu Master prestige class from oriental adventures. Elves are aasimar in this campaign, Meliamne is a +1 ECL character.
Here is a little information about each of them:
Trajan. He grew up in the shadow of the barrier range, in one of the many small farming communities in that part of the Southlands. He had been a useless farmer because he kept sneaking away to spend time with the mad old hermit, who turned out to be the last surviving Sword Saint, who escaped from the inquisition and purges fifty years ago in the theocratic nation of Singh across the mountains. He learned a love of the foreign god, Asura, and after some years of secret training with the hermit he was sent down to face adventure in Asura’s name at the temple in Knightsbridge.
There he met up with the Knightsbridge Company, comprising at that time Lysander the Jazumai (whom he looked up to), Azrin the Asuran librarian-priest, and M’ir and K’tan the mages from far Cadlan. In various adventures he proved his mettle, and when Lysander retired from killing to look after refugees, he took up the mantle of leadership of the Company.
Many have joined the company since then and many have died. Trajan has been the centre of attention for amourous young women, not least Anne-Marie who is in love with him and who recently risked her life to stop him committing seppuku in atonement for his own wrongs.
He is tough and forthright, but not wise. He is acutely aware of his limitations and the shallowness of his knowledge of the faith he professes. He has had disturbing dreams and visions from Asura when he strays off the track.
Anne-Marie. Rescued from a time-trap crystal, Anne-Marie the fiery and passioniate sword coast woman is literally fifty years out of time. Much has changed in the world since she last saw it, and perhaps the severing of relationships with all her family and friends from her childhood has contributed to her ruthlessness now. Unarmoured, she is as elusive as the wind and whirls and dances in combat with her lightning fast rapier and sword-biter.
A few months ago she met a drunken old sword coaster at a Ball, and discovered that he was one of the famed duellists of the sword coast, and she persuaded him to initiate her in the ways of that secret group
She is in love with Trajan, and would risk anything for him. Her real consuming passion, however, is the grand threat which they have uncovered… of which I’ll speak later.
Meliamne: A recent addition to the party, Meliamne was related to the group of elves which were involved in the Ossington affair. Four hundred years old, he has seen many things and gathered thousands of stories from all across the land. In common with all his people he feels the strong desire to return “home”, to the plane of existence which his race originally came from. Like all the elves he is continually seeking for clues, for gates, for plane-shifting portals which might be the key for them to leave this land.
It has been nearly a hundred years since he last walked amongst men, and he is still not very used to the way that they think and act. He comes from a world of light hearted laughter and merriment and sometimes doesn’t think about the implications of his actions in an alien culture.
Arilyn: The hawk-nosed Mendonnan woman is studious and dismissive of everything outside of her art. She has recently been able to secure the diaries of the noted Stormlord, Arkon and she is studying them with the intention of focussing her mind and powers ever more closely towards the element which has nurtured her since childhood - the air.
She still mourns the recent death of her trusted friend and familiar, Zeph. She also misses her old sparring partner Dala, for all the insults they used to trade with one another. Adventuring still isn’t in her blood, and she has a tendency to dither at important moments. She is often heard muttering under her breath about the lack of planning by her teammates in the company but she doesn’t have the charisma to come forward with plans of her own.
