High on a rocky plateau covered in wispy grass lies the secret basecamp for the Wizard Imani's gathering forces, as he attempts to thwart the machinations of the Cult of the Dragon and their horrific ally, the Dracolich Dretchroyaster. A small, but expensive-looking pavilion tent marks the old wizard's command post, and a few Servants, Scouts, and a number of Adventurers hurry about, either on the wizard's business, or if newly arrived, seeking to find the best of the space remaining on the rocky bluff - to pitch their own tent.
Imani, Sage of Hap - Once an adventurer in the Company of the Sunlit Sea, this old Mage has seen better days. Scarred both outward and in, he seeks absolution through inspiring others to heroic deeds.

She can be a bit cranky, but her heart is generally in the right place. She's also pregnant. Loklafd of the Seal Tribe - A Reghedman of Icewind Dale, this Veteran lost a leg to a snowy Owlbear. He's an excellent boat builder in his people's style.
Villains Dretchroyaster, the Monarch Reborn - An Ancient Green Dragon Dracolich. Hopefully sleeping.

Level 1: Lay on Hands
Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a Long Rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of Hit Points equal to five times your Paladin level.
As a Bonus Action, you can touch a creature (which could be yourself) and draw power from the pool of healing to restore a number of Hit Points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in the pool.
You can also expend 5 Hit Points from the pool of healing power to remove the Poisoned condition from the creature; those points don’t also restore Hit Points to the creature.
Level 1: Spellcasting
You have learned to cast spells through prayer, meditation, and devotion. See the Player’s Handbook for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Paladin spells.
Spell Slots. The Paladin Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Paladin spells. Heroism and Searing Smite are recommended.
The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Paladin levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Paladin Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Paladin spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Paladin Features table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you’re a level 5 Paladin, your list of prepared spells can include six Paladin spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.
If another Paladin feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Paladin spells for you.
Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one spell on your list with another Paladin spell for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Paladin spells.
Spellcasting Focus. You can use a Holy Symbol as a Spellcasting Focus for your Paladin spells.
Level 1: Weapon Mastery
Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency, such as Longswords and Javelins.
Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could switch to using the mastery properties of Halberds and Flails.
