Session Zero Pt 1 - Meet the Team.

Glijak Tad - Human Barbarian -

Glijak grew up among forest dwelling 'barbarian' tribes in a small valley, his family lived amongst a grove of Angakara Trees which were revered by nearby elvish druids and orcish shamans as holy trees. Angakara trees are broad oaks that sprout many branches and are often covered by a multitude of light green leaves. In previous ages, the tree was favored for the construction of bows, and once thrived in the balley of Glijaks ancesters, now occupied by the foritified city of Drakkendale. However, many of the trees were felled and Glijaks tribe were slain during the construction of the city and it's great oaken walls, and the trees have never grown back. Those few trees that were left have withered and perished, leaving behind ancient reminders of what once was in the form of large, hollowed tree stumps and decaying trunks. Glijak has an extensive criminal record and is seeking allies and strength to retake the land of his ancestors.

Remus Corbin - Human Wizard -

Growing up in the Imperial Capital of Luminaree to two wealthy and adoring parents Remus Corbin was always infatuated with books and learning, something which had him in trouble more often than his parents would like to admit. To put an end to his trouble making they got him an appointment at the imperial library as a minor steward, and the young Remus took to his new position with alarming enthusiasm, all but living in the grand library. Before long Remus stumbled upon some mysterious symbols which slowly led him to uncover a long dead mentor who spoke to him through journals and hidden riddles, a mentor through whom Remus began to learn magic. Not long after he began studying the journals of his new mentor, he was caught in a forbidden basement area of the imperial library and narrowly avoided arrest. Remus realized that his family would be forever hunted so long as he was alive and so he faked his own death to save his parents and is now in hiding, following the breadcrumbs the journal leaves for him. 

Amatsu - Bronze Dragonborn Druid - 

Amatsu worships true dragons, (both Bahamat and Tiamat, as 2 sides of the same coin). The druid has spent much of his time trying in vain to convince the common folk that Dragonkin are no more monstrous than dwarves. His once proud people have been scattered to the winds by the emperor as they were deemed abominations and dangerous to the people around them after the mage uprising 200 years ago. Seeking a way to either become a full dragon or awaken an Ancient Dragon, Amatsu has traveled much and is in Angelspit to investigate reports of Black Dragon Bones unearthed by moonfolk somewhere in the swamp.

Rodrik Light - Human Vengence Paladin -

Rodrik is current;y in Angelspit lying low and gathering allies, he has plans to take back his family sword from a Moonfolk general named Kurthak Weis, but needs capable allies before he can challenge the famed warlord. 

Theocrat Hambol - Firbolg Cleric of Light - 

Theocrat is a simple Firbolg who grew up doing odd jobs around Angelspit after he just kinda wandered in from the swamp as a child. Eventually as he came to be appreciated by the surly and mildly insane villagers, his sense of community grew and he became somewhat of a defacto spiritual leader. the small kindnesses the dirt poor villagers could afford had given him life, so he decided to give it back, and threw himself into studies of divine texts and healing. With a tenuous grasp of the basic clerical magics that he could decypher and a love for all life, he just wants to see people safe and happy. He will leave violence as a last resort, but knows how to hold his own when necessary. He is currently worried about the Bilge Shivers epidemic and the missing girl in town.

Carkan - Minotaur Fighter - 

Captured and sold into gladiator slavery, Carkan was abused and treated as a literal monster for several years, fighting in pits and arena's across the empire. Eventually forward thinking caravan merchant bought his freedom and hired Carkan as a bodyguard. Carkan worked for him for a number of years and was with him trying to open a trade agreement with the Lizard King who lives the swamps depths, but their caravan was ill prepared for the swamp, and was attacked at night, the cleric Hambol found the minotaur half dead of disease and blood loss in the swamp and nursed him back to health, that was 3 months ago and Carkan is certain his boss is out there somewhere.
