Andras
(Played by Adrian S.)

Human Fighter 7 (Eldritch Knight)

(Lawful Neutral)

Sessions Played:
 * Malevolence in Pursuit: Episode 6: “Infiltrating the Keep of Sir Alistair De'Armisen”
 * Malevolence in Pursuit: Episode 7: “The Lycanthropes are Dead!”
 * Malevolence in Pursuit: Episode 8: “Mosquito Fighter Down”
 * Malevolence in Pursuit: Episode 11: “The Death of an Immortal”

Biography: (Hermit) Andras had proven himself to be a reliable front-line fighter in the Nack Army, thus earning him a place in a guerrilla unit aimed at highly mobile, shock trooper combat. The missions he undertook were dangerous but not limited to: ambushing trade caravans of those who opposed the empire, security for powerful politicians, and scouting for larger party raids.

Among this task-force were equally capable fighters, known only to each other by their pseudo-names: Although they were loyal to each other as brothers- and sisters-in-arms, their loyalty to the emperor, Rustingard Nack II was just as fierce.
 * Jackal (Name: Andras)
 * Wasp (Name: Unknown, 30's)
 * Hawk (Name: Unknown, 20's)
 * Minx (Name: Unknown, 20's)
 * Wolf (Name: Unknown, old)

The request was simple enough, and always delivered by raven: "Divert enemy combatants living north of the Deadfall River on the third night following the full moon. Normal payment will be tripled. As always, your teams' discretion is mandatory." All it took were five of these specialized fighters and a few moments to completely subvert the village's defenses and dwellers under the blanket of nightfall. The old man of the hamlet stood defiant, unwilling to leave his home even while the land around him burned to the ground. "Lotesse Barratu vasa lle arael, ar' quanta lle yassen aha," were the last words of the village elder right before Andras plunged his two-handed sword, Goldenheart, through his chest. (See below for more information about this incident.) Having fulfilled their duty, the elite group of five scattered into the damp humid night, vanishing as quickly as they came. All rendezvoused, save one...

Many years had passed since disappearing into the woods that fateful night, and while his body and social skills deteriorated, his thirst for knowledge kept his mind strong. Every once in awhile however, the Goldenheart beckons him... and he must answer.

The information below is reserved for those whose characters can speak the Elvish language of Svar and have the DM's permission to read.

(Translation of the Svar curse)'' "May the devil (Barratu) consume your heart, and fill you with rage." This Svar-tu curse was actually directed toward Andras' weapon, Goldenheart, and has indirectly affected the warrior in ways that he cannot yet understand.

Biography: (Sage) Orphaned at a young age on the streets of Namara, he was discovered by the talent scouts of Boar Herpes. Halcyon had a particular proclivity for priestly procedures, so he became a devoted cleric of Boar Herpes, pledging his life to academia and the glory of the magical peer reviewed University of Boar Herpes. He spent many years of study locked away in the halls and libraries of BH, but the ephemeral and ethereal travel dire badger bit him and he desired above all else: powe... field research! So he sought out an adventuring airship and sky captain (possibly gnomish) to fulfill his new dreams and sense of adventure!

Biography: (Soldier) Sister to Naïlo and the only other known survivor of the Svar-enna, Leucosa had drifted from her sister and her family early in life to pursue her passion, war. Unlike the rest of her tribe, Leucosa was determined to break free of the constant skirmishes and invasions with the neighboring orcs on Taurë and had joined a growing number of Svar-enna elves who thought similarly. Together, these hundreds of warriors made the first official army of elves and had set off to the far ends of the island to root out and destroy every orc they could find. The campaign lasted years.

During that time, Leucosa had learned how to fight with both skill and discipline, wielding a wicked blade in each hand and wading through hordes of enemies. She found that she was born for a life of battle and war and strife and would often shudder at the thought of attaining the goal of destroying all enemies on the island. When it came to tactics during an attack, Leucosa would often argue with the commanding elves about the best course of action, and would blatantly disobey orders she thought to be ineffective or outright wrong. In the end, her maverick nature would prove to save her life...

During a large attack on an orcish outpost, the entire unit was attacked by a massive blue dragon whose wrath did not distinguish between orc and elf. While her unit was in formation during the attack, Leucosa had stubbornly gone solo, finding a way around the outpost to ambush them in the flank. It was then the lightning terror destroyed her entire unit, along with every other unit in the elven army, along with every orc savage defending their outpost. Only Leucosa would remain, hidden in an outcrop of boulders like a rat. Her shame in this instance would follow her for the rest of her days.

After the massacre, Leucosa traveled for several days in search of the rest of the Svar-enna to warn them of this new, inconceivable threat. She eventually tracked them down to a massive field wrought with death. Her friends and family were destroyed by the same beast who slew her warrior companions. The bodies were so obliterated, it was impossible to distinguish one from another. Her entire tribe was slaughtered, and she was the only one left to tell the tale. In absolute defeat, Leucosa wandered the realm of Nack for the next few years, serving as a mercenary here and there, constantly searching for the only thing that would bring her comfort: battle. While on a trip to Bandle City, Leucosa had heard of the renown of a group of adventurers who had apparently halted the invasion of dozens of dragons. To her surprise, she heard her sister's name for the first time in years. Naïlo was part of this group and had heroically slew a dragon. She quickly found out that the group was aboard a dragon-bladder ship called the ElectroZephyr and was eventually headed for the elven island of Sparinon. For weeks, Leucosa had feverishly tracked the ship and her sister, trying desperately to catch up with the group. Eventually, she had found the ship on Sparinon, only to discover that her only sister had slipped into a coma and was being cared for on the ship. After hearing that her soul had been trapped in an undisclosed, extradimensional location, Leucosa could only weep for the hope that had lived in her for so short a time...

But it was not all lost. Leucosa knew what she needed to do, and now had once again found a mission. She knew she would one day find her sister's soul in the depths of the unearthly unknown, and she would cut down every creature that would stand in her way.

Notable Acts:
 * Drew four cards from the Deck of Many Things on SH 670, December 25th: the Throne card, the Talons card, the Talons card again and finally the Jester card, allowing her to pursue the Keep of Sir Alistair De'Armisen which was magically/rightfully bestowed upon her as well as becoming instantly badass due to the flawed power of the Jester card.
 * Contracted wererat lycanthropy on SH 671, January 10th while infiltrating the overrun Keep of Sir Alistair De'Armisen.

Biography: (Charlatan) Born to gnomish parents who died before she could remember, Lilhani grew up on the bustling streets of Namara. Throughout her adolescence, she became adept at making fools out of others. Instead of begging for food or picking pockets from passersby, she found ways to have these hapless citizens simply give her their money. She would sell fake magical potions or disguise herself as a sagely soothsayer selling fortunes. She eventually made a small name for herself as a trickster wizard, and was taken up as an apprentice by a mage known as Selubrius. Within his lone tower on the island of Bruya, Selubrius taught Lilhani the basic fundamentals of magic and wizardry. For a few years, Lilhani studied elementary arcana while sweeping the floors of the tower and fetching pales of water. Selubrius grew to trust Lilhani and treated her as a valued student.

After working for many years as a freelance wizard, Selubrius had finally saved enough gold to purchase a state-of-the-art dragon bladder ship. After purchasing a ship called the ElectroZephyr from the guild, he sent Lilhani to retrieve it from the fresh docks of Namara. Whilst gazing upon its stormy-blue exterior, Lilhani felt a growing surge of excitement within her. At last, her long con had come to a worthy fruition! As she steered the ship away from the city, she found herself travelling not back to Bruya and her teacher Selubrius, but where her fancy led her. She quickly found a crew of like-minded wanderers eager for adventure, treasure and knowledge. And thus began the infamous Flight of the ElectroZephyr!

Naïlo Enna
(Played by Steph V.)

Wood Elf Ranger 3 (Hunter)

(True Neutral)

Biography: (Outlander) As part of an outlying tribe of elves known as the Svar-enna, Naïlo grew up in a harsh world in which the rudiments of survival were in constant question. Unlike most elves in Nack the Svar-enna lived on the outskirts of the realm, on the island of Taurë. There, Naïlo grew up learning the ways of the marauder. Her tribe never stayed in one place on the island for long, and there were constant skirmishes against orcs and packs of beasts that also inhabited the island. Naïlo had eventually shown an affinity with the natural aspects of the hunt while her sister Leucosa focused more on the warrior's aspect of invasion. Eventually, Leucosa had gone off to fight a war with a neighboring orc clan for a few years. In the meantime, Naïlo had focused on hunting for her fellow tribesmen. For a time, Naïlo's life was simple. However, on SH 666, June 24th, her world had changed dramatically.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a great and ancient blue dragon had attacked Naïlo and the Svar-enna, spewing bolts of lightning as though a raging thunderstorm had focused its power on a small stretch of land. While Naïlo had barely escaped with her life, running as fast as she could into the treeline, her tribesmen, her family, everyone she had ever loved and known were slaughtered by the terrible, nameless dragon. She could only assume that her sister Leucosa was killed too, as there were both elvish and orcish arrows lodged in the crevasses of the great beast's scaly armor.

The next morning, Naïlo had surveyed the absolute carnage that befell the Svar-enna. Her friends and family torn asunder, dismembered, blackened by magical electricity, were strewn about the killing field. From that moment on, she swore an oath to slay every dragon that came across her path, no matter the circumstance. She spent the next few years both training and travelling about the realm of Nack in search of any and all dragons. Unfortunately, she didn't come across even one dragon, and she learned from others that no dragon had been sighted for over a hundred years after the Empire of Nack was established. The city-dwelling humans had made it their mission to destroy all of the winged beasts long ago, and apparently they had. Still, Naïlo refused to stop her hunt, as she had seen one dragon and she knew it still lived. The elf eventually found her way to the bustling city of Namara where she took up residence upon a ship known as the ElectroZephyr. She thought it very befitting to hunt dragons in the re-purposed corpse of a blue dragon...

Notable Acts:
 * Slew a green dragon wyrmling during a dragon attack on Bandle City on SH 670, November 30. This enabled her to utilize the Orb of Dragon Command.
 * After drawing the Void card from the Deck of Many Things, Naïlo's soul was stripped from her body and locked away in an unknown location on SH 670, November 30. She is now in a comatose state aboard the ElectroZephyr.

Biography: (Guild Artisan, Blacksmith) Poppy spent her youth earning calluses and grease stains in her father's armor shop. Blomgrun, her father, was Bandle City's finest smith. The only thing he loved as much as his work was his young daughter, Poppy - named for the sprightly sounds of the sparks that leapt from his ever-burning forge. He swelled with pride the day she was first able to lift his trusty hammer, Whomper. Poppy immediately took to his art, demonstrating a natural gift for smithing, which Blomgrun honed with devoted instruction.

One day, a distant general named Florin Berell commissioned Blomgrun to craft a helm, glorious beyond comparison. Blomgrun toiled away on this project, determined to present Florin with his finest work. He let Poppy set the center jewel, entrusting her with the most important piece. When the pair finished, they departed to deliver it in person. Word of the general's order, however, was leaked to some of his enemies, and two assassins were dispatched to intercept the delivery. Blomgrun was able to occupy the assassins long enough for Poppy to escape with the prized helm. She watched helplessly from the brush as her father was slain.

Instead of fleeing home, she carried the helm the rest of the way to Demacia alone. She refused payment for it, saying that no amount would compensate for her father's life. Instead, she offered it as a gift, honoring her father's final intentions. Florin saw the grim determination behind the tears in her eyes, and requested that she be appointed as a guardian of the state. Soon after, seeking to crush those responsible for the assassination with her father's hammer, Poppy ventured off to hone her battle skills and find vengeance.

 * Attempted to draw three more cards from the Deck of Many Things on SH 671, January 4th, but promptly drew the Void card first which trapped her soul within the legendary Orb of Dragon Command!
 * Again drew three cards from the Deck of Many Things on SH 671, January 25th. First drew the Gem card, followed by the Idiot card which forced him to draw the Skull card immediately afterward. He was able to destroy the Avatar of Death on his own, saving his own life.

Biography: (Sage) (Once a human named Elymas Auternus) It was the morning of The Cataclysm. Nothing unusual to be noted. The weather was pleasant as it always was on my island. Yes, I owned my own island. But, let me begin further back…

This was my sanctuary. My place to unravel the lost knowledge of the multiverse. During my years working in the studies of magic, I had established a working “relationship” with the dragons in my area. They would tell me long lost stories of their kind and the magics they used during their lives and the lives of their ancestors.

Among these creatures was the Brass Dragon known to me as Herensuge. He was one that allowed and possibly enjoyed conversation. Two solitary creatures unwittingly desperate for conversations delving into magic. He was an unexhausted source of knowledge, wisdom and things I never could have imagined. We had our pleasantries and scholarly dialog. Nothing more in common than our thirst for knowledge.

I can’t recall the day but there was a calamity that took me from my studies. Two great dragons battling! It was like nothing I had ever seen. Both taking to the air, clawing each other to find the advantage to undo the other. The battle ended as one of the winged creatures fell from the sky – mortally wounded. The other flew away, as I made my way to the fallen. Upon my arrival, I realized it was my old conversation companion. There was nothing I could do. No skill or magic could undo the damage done by the claws, bite and breath of my friend’s adversary. I made my way to his head. His breathing labored. Blood coming from his wounds, mouth and ears. His eyes’ lighted as he recognized me. More by smell than sight. He made some type of noise as his lungs were giving way. He spoke in his draconic language guttural sounds bouncing off my ear. But I could sense the magic in the air. I laid my hands on him, speaking to him. Letting him know he was not alone. He lifted his head one last time, saying “No favor shall be ungifted.” I didn't know what that meant. But I stayed there as his eyes closed, his breathing stopped. I sat there in silence, already missing our conversations.

It is now, I return to the fated morning. The Cataclysm. Somehow, some way – the Gods were angered. Their wrath met my lands. Light shot down and where it touched the earth roared, then torn itself apart. All my time alone, I had no one there with me. My learnings could not help me at all. How feeble I felt. I closed my eyes waiting for my last moments. As I waited I heard something faint. A whisper. I opened my eyes to see an old man with seven yellow canaries. I thought myself delusional. He seemed so at ease with what was taking place. He stretched out is staff to me and said, “No favor shall be ungifted.” The same words Herensuge said before he left me. From that moment on I don’t know or remember what happened. I don’t know any amount of time that lapsed. For when I woke, I found myself in liquid. I flayed all about breaking the barrier that held me. As I emerged, somehow different. It was then I saw myself anew.

The old man with the canaries stood over me. He nodded with some type of approval. As he turned away from me, he waved his staff once more, a silvery flash hitting me in my chest. Before I could look up – the old man was gone. It was that moment Elymas Auternus’ life was over. Umer Deszeld was Dragonborn.

He is now an Agent of Pain who must keep his loyalty secret. (read more on Episode 4: “The Tree of Pain”)
 * SH 671, March 7th: In a secret conversation, Umer Deszeld deftly persuaded the Queen Vlaya Skyflower to divulge the fact that Algondas killed Elondar Cloudspell after he informed her of Algondas' death in the Temple of Anguish. Queen Vlaya swore Umer to secrecy, since this information would likely plunge all of the Svar-tu in a civil war between House Cloudspell and House Skyflower, and her own newborn son's life would be in jeopardy. (read more on Episode 5: “One Thousand Refugees”)
 * SH 671, March 14th: While attempting to attain immortality by finding a suitable phylactery for his future lichdom, Umer ended up turning away from his god Barratu and instead found a new faith in the deity's sister Myralda.
