Shadoweir, Servant of Mielikki, Forestal, Tracker

SHADOWEIR OATH
I walk in the light but darkness surrounds me;
Mighty are the foes of my people;
I am their shield;
My blood for their blood,
My life for their life;
My sword and I are one;
We will serve our people and The Forest Way.
I have sworn this Oath upon my life;
This day and forever, I name myself Shadoweir.

Named for the greatest trees of the forests, the shadowtops and the weirwoods, the Shadoweirs are a highly secretive group dedicated to protecting the ancient forest homelands. The Shadoweirs are an activist order who are willing to go on the offensive on behalf of their sacred woodlands. They seek to advance the regrowth of their ancient groves reduced by civilization.

Many of the members are adventurers, wandering the realms with missionary zeal. The Shadoweirs stress the positive and outreaching nature of the untamed forest. They believe intelligent beings can live in harmony with the wilderness without requiring the destruction of one in the name of the other. The Shadoweirs are taught to embrace nature, not fear it.

They are taught to live in harmony with the woods, to teach others to do so, and to punish and frustrate those who would hunt for sport and who practice cruelties upon wild creatures.

The symbol of the Shadoweirs is a giant shadowtop tree with a pair of crossed swords overlaying it. Though many of the Shadoweir members are warriors, the Shadoweirs are a community of woodland beings gathered together to serve the same calling. All are welcome who share in the Shadoweir belief.

Faithful and loyal servant to Mielikki, Hi'el Troiye was different from the rest of his carefree brethren and felt a sense of dedication and purpose alien to his race. The Druids discovered this and after careful consideration of the potential virtues he displayed, selected him to be raised among the Shadoweirs, a small sect of the Druid Enclave. Hi'el Troiye proved to be an adept pupil, quickly mastering skills taught to him. Very much at home and at ease in the outdoors, the Druids learned their Silenni novitiate was, however, not suited to confined spaces indoors. He was very claustrophobic, and prone to panic in buildings/caverns less than twenty feet square.

Special Disadvantages: Claustrophobic. Must roll a successful saving throw vs. death in order to overcome his fear of indoors/underground before he can enter. If the check fails, he may not enter. Indoors/underground he must make a saving throw each day. If he fails, he will want to leave the indoors/underground by the most direct route. Indoors/Underground, the Silenni attacks with a -2 penalty to his rolls. Should he fail his claustrophobic saving throw, the penalty increases by -1 for each additional day he stays indoors/underground. If he fails to reach open air, he may attempt further saving throws each day to overcome his claustrophobia. These saving throws are made at the same penalty as the Silenni's current attack roll penalty.

Eighteen years old, 5'9" 131 lbs, slender frame, delicate, fair freckled skin. Long, blonde wavy hair, light green eyes.

5'9"/131 lbs.

Long, Blonde, Wavy hair/ Light Green eyes/ Fair complected skin with very light freckles

Somewhat of a snob, she doesn't tend to interact with others unless forced to. She has just recently had a wake up call from realityand has had to face the REAL WORLD without the grace of her family's money or shelter. She is spoiled, conceited and a little bit of a brat. Or bitch, if you prefer. She used her studies in Magic as more of a hobby, the only thing that kept her from being totally worthless in the real world of having to make a living for herself. She's good at it (Magic), and has enough discipline to get even better, but her "people skills" definitely need work!

*Lens of Speed Reading (allows her to study her spells in 1/2 the time - i.e. 5 minutes per spell level, and also to transfer spells to her spellbook in 1/2 the time)

* Spellbook (bound in blue leather and stamped with her family crest on the front.)

* Pouch for spell components at her waist.

Regular Dagger, Regular, oaken quarterstaff, good quality dress and high, grey leather boots, regular light grey mage robes. Set of mithril silver hoop earrings.

In small backpack: 20' rope, small silver mirror, flint/tinderbox, 3 brown leather thongs to bind her hair back from her face in a ponytail, small bedroll, 2 potions of extra healing, 1/2 gallon waterskin, 2 weeks iron rations.

Inability to enter a home without being first invited to do so by a resident of the dwelling.

Moves in complete silence
Garlic repels them. They will not approach it, and prevents them from attacking or entering an area

There are four major campaigns this year, and Myth Drannor nearly falls prey to the Army of Darkness. Battle of Garnet’s Pyre: The red dragon Garnet rashly attacks the Army of Darkness, and he manages to at least split the main army, slow its advance, destroy its supply lines, and trap it amidst some forest fires. Garnet disappears in the midst of battle, not to be seen again for centuries. Kur'ai leads Akh’Velahr against Army of Darkness (24th level Paladin)

713 DR Year of the Firedrake
The war rages on, Kur'ai (24th level Paladin) with the Akh’Velahr and Akh'Faer manage to eliminate Malimshaer and Gaulguth, two of the three nycaloths leading the Army of Darkness.

714 DR Year of Doom
Myth Drannor falls under siege by the Army of Darkness. With the slaughter of the army and cavalry, little can be done against the Siege of Shadow, which descends on Myth Drannor on the 21st day of Kythorn. The Siege lasts until the Final Flight in Flamerule, as the now-directionless hordes of the Army of Darkness simply swarm over Myth Drannor’s last defenders by savagery and sheer weight of numbers. Only 200 elves and allies out of the 3,000 who remained to defend the City of Song escaped to tell of the city’s passing. Kur'ai, separated in the fighting from the remnants of Ahk'Velahr and Ahk'Faer, retreats to the Galifrey Family crypt harrassed by 20 spectres, and eventually destroys them in the end (5th level Paladin). He seals the Galifrey Shrine against all forced intrusion (a Baelnorn could gain entrance), and using a rare Elven potion, enters a centuries-long 'Ancestral' Communion with those departed beyond the veil.

Ary'Velahr'Kerym (Elfblade)
The Warblade, Noble Warrior's Sword [LG, d8/d12, 5 speed]
This long sword shines like polished silver at all times, its blade perfectly reflective and glistening no matter what punishments ring down upon it. Blue and silver flames lick incessantly along the sword, quillons, pommel, and harmlessly around the elf's hands whenever drawn. Visible at the seat of the blade is an elven rune meaning weapon, which is commonly used as a sword mark. The Warblade brings the wielder back to his peak of life (first year of adulthood without penalties: age boosted Int/Wis stats remain, though any stats reduced by age are restored).
Active Powers: Strength 3 times/day (can exceed normal elven racial limits for the spell duration, though Strength cannot exceed 19); Haste 3 times/day; detect evil/good at will.
Core Power: By sacrificing all attacks for two rounds and performing a complicated blade-dance with the Warblade, the wielder can conjure a blade barrier that remains for 2d6 rounds. Once the blade barrier appears at the end of the two round summoning, the wielder and the elfblade can move beyond its stationary boundary.

Helm of Valor
This item appears as a typical elven winged helm, but will radiate enchantment/charm if a detect magic spell is used on it. Originally inspired by those battle leaders who walked unflinching through hails of enemy arrow fire, a helm of valor enables its wearer to ignore missile fire. However, in order to do so, the users of such helms must have implicit trust in both themselves and their helm.
When a wearer first tries to use a particular helm, he or she must make a successful Wisdom check to attune with it. If unsuccessful, that helm will not function for the user until the individual's Wisdom score has changed for better or worse (thus allowing another check).
A user who succeeds at the Wisdom check may then attempt to harness the helm's powers. The next time someone successfully attacks the wearer with a missile weapon, he or she may make another Wisdom check to avoid all but 1 point of damage, no matter the usual damage of the missile.
If this second Wisdom check fails, the wearer suffers the maximum damage the missile can inflict. This check is made for every missile fired at the wearer during this combat, and the modifiers listed below do not apply until the next combat.
If this second Wisdom check is successful, the wearer gains a +1 to the Wisdom check for the next combat. Note: This applies only to the next combat in which enemies attempt to harm the user. The helm does not work during sparring practice or training. A user who fails a Wisdom check picks up a –1 penalty for the next three combats, while he or she learns to trust in the powers of the helm again. No matter how often the user succeeds in the Wisdom check, the bonus can never exceed 19; a roll of 20 always fails.
Helms of valor provide no defense against melee weapons (although hurled daggers, axes, and other propelled melee weapons count as missile weapons), nor do they offer any protection against spells such as magic missile. Magical missiles, including enchanted arrows, affect the Wisdom check by –1 per +1 of the enchantment.
The helm is usable by warriors, priests, and psionically empowered individuals. As with all helms, it is not usable by either wizards or thieves who wish to practice their crafts.

Secrets of the Elfblades
All elfblades are magical swords with these bonuses:

+4 to attacks and damage;

+2 ACbonus;

+2 initiative bonus;

Intelligent weapons (Int 16) speak elvish audibly and telepathically;

Individually strongwilled and conscious entities when drawn from their scabbards (EGO 30);

Elfblades add life to the worthy wielder;

Light effects can be snuffed entirely or increased until the wielder is surrounded by a 30-foot radius of light equal to the daylight of highsun.

Elfblades have two powers, activated by command words, usable three times per day, plus one power usable at will as often as desired. Each has a core power unique to that blade with special conditions for the power.

Elfblades bond with their wielders during the bladerite ritual. If a wielder is accepted, the individual elfblade will maintain a magical link with its wielder, allowing it to be summoned directly to the wielder's hand despite any distances or physical barriers, provided both blade and elf are on the same plane. Wards, antimagic shells, and other magical barriers interfere at the DM's discretion.

Should a wielder ever change alignment, race, or sex without the elfblade's consent or knowledge, the blades can immediately impose a blade-rite test upon the wielder, with any appropriate penalties. Alternately, the blade may choose simply to inflict random bursts of pain (1d4 hp damage while in hand) upon the corrupted wielder, or the weapon can attempt full ego domination in order to force the wielder to either abandon the blade or return the blade to the High Mages.

The Blade-Rite Rituals
The blade-rite rituals are invoked whenever a new wielder is chosen for any of the elfblades. The blade-heir (the attempted wielder) is put through tests of talent (measuring the elf's ability in leadership, battle, or magic), mind (the elf's Intelligence in terms of the same), and heart (the elf's character and wisdom in wielding this talent). These tests occur within the mind of the tested elf, though all effects are suffered as if the tests were real. Mechanically, the tests are checks on 1d20 with -5 penalties, but penalties increase to -8 if the wielder is not of the same alignment as the blade. The checks are made against the character's level, Intelligence, and Wisdom scores; if all are successful, the tester becomes the new blade-wielder. Penalties for failing the tests are described for each blade. When a wielder dies, an elfblade is rendered inert and nonmagical until drawn in a blade-rite ritual or drawn at a place of power (such as the Dancing Place or hidden places in Cormanthor or Evermeet). If an elfblade is stolen, any who attempt to hold it unsheathed immediately suffer the penalties of failing the blade-rite ritual. Any N'Tel'Quess (non-elves, drows and half-elves can attempt to wield a blade) that dare to try wielding an elfblade are struck dead (2d12 hp of permanent damage and succeed a system shock check at half normal Constitution score or die).

Blade-Rite Risks: Should a wielder fail to pass the bladerituals, his grip around the swords pommel suddenly feels as if he is gripping the unsheathed blade, and he suffers damage equal to his own Strength score plus 1d6 points. This damage cannot be healed by any magical means and can be healed only naturally and slowly; deep palm scars remain forever, despite any later healing or magics. If the failed wielder is a N'Tel'Quess or of evil alignment, the blade also becomes a dancing sword and attacks the unworthy user. The elfblade pursues and attacks such a victim for 1d6 turns, trying its best to slay the usurper.

He's caring, yet stern. Often his mischevious past surfaces in his reactions without his notice. He places his honor above his life, and at timescan seem very different caused by his quest for enlightenment. Due to the conflicting characters (tengu-mischevious, and his search for enlightenment) he can appear quite chaotic, but Bushido, the code of honor, is the seal that binds his mentalities together.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like most Tengu, he considers himself a teacher, and is willing to pass on his knowledge of tactics and weaponry to anyone who demonstrates they honestly want to learn and that their intentions are nothing but honorable. Until he gains more worldly experience, he is a very mediocre teacher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His wish is to set up a proper establishment for teaching any willing followers of the sword, hidden away in some deep wood. To live out his life helping others and with the strength to eventually reture his sword.

For many years from his birth he followed the action of his fellow tengu. Many of his action were hideous things that would merit certain destructionwere they ever discovered. As he watched many of the newborn race get involved in a private war resulting in much blood-shed and terror. Sickened, he left home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While flying, cloaked in the illusion of a large bird, he was captured by some young children. They beat him to take his feathers. He was saved by a wandering monk, and decided to devote his life towards ascension much like the monk. After this he began to view life as the most valuable thing possible, and devotes his life to life's protection.

He wandered for a time, and spread the Tengu sword-styles which assisted the creation of the samurai and ninja of the area.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the first war of the Kamakura era the illusion that he could go through life without killing melted away. He broadened his wanderings, preserving life when he could, but killing when he must, and that sums up his life up until the present.

Acolyte/Follower of Apollo

Jeyelle is a holy battle cleric for the Sun God, Apollo. She is a slight, russet haired wood elf, standing 5'1" and weighing only 100 lbs. Her grey eyes are kind and she always seems to have a somewhat shy nature until provoked or in battle, where she wields her Mace of Disruption with a skilled hand.

5'1"/ 100 lbs.

Deep reddish brown hair/ grey eyes/ fair skinned

Quiet and soft-spoken until provoked, or when defending the name of her God. Usually keeps to herself and dislikes being in large crowds. Has anavid hate for undead, and is quite adept at destroying them.

* +2 Healer's Cloak of Protection ~ (Black with a Red Cross down the back of it.) This cloak can heal 40 HP 3x/Day as a 20th level Paladin (same as Heal spell) and can restore lost levels 1x/Day (same as Restoration spell).

They usually remain hidden beneath her long, black healer's cloak until she needs them. They are permanently there and attached to her body physically, so she can fly at a moment's notice (i.e. does not have to activate the ring to make them appear).

(4) Premade Heal/Med packs ~ Made using her Healing and Herbalism Profs. each does 1d8 hp healed and contains salves and bandages.

She carries a simple (+1) black, ironwood staff with a silver tip and an engraved, steel ring around the top (the ring is actually one of 5 rings of the druidic order "The Band of the Hand" and holds a semi-powerful wood sprite spirit inside of it called "Tallacan". See below for Tallacan’s powers, etc.). Denora also carries an ornately carved oaken Long Bow over her back, complete with a green, embossed leather quiver, that holds up to 20 sheaf arrows. A silver sickle rests at her side, and she carries an iron dagger in her right boot.

Sapphire: Has falcon spirit inside ("Rodanne") that can be summoned 1x/day for 8 hours to act as scout, etc. Emerald: Normal gem.

* Empty Ring of Eqqus - Can bind an animal to the ring. Acts as a figurine of wondrous power. The ring is empty at the moment.

* Elemental Stone - This teardrop shaped, blue stone has the power to summon 1 of 3 elemental types (Earth, Air or Water) 1x/Week. Can be up to 16 HD (roll for HP, etc.). Stone is mounted on a small, silver circlet that Denora wears. A Fire Elemental may never be summoned with this stone.

* Band of the hand Steel Ring ("Tallacan") Bonded to Ironwood Staff and gives the staff 4x dmg if it hits fire mages - This steel ring has elemental symbols on it and is one of 5 such rings created by the Druidic order "The Band of the Hand".

** Call Lightning 1x/Day - Dur: 12 turns 1 Bolt/turn (12d8 + 2d8 dmg.)

Storm cannot be changed and cannot be dispelled. 1-100 miles sq. radius and may last 1 turn to days. Extreme weather ex: tornado lasts 1 turn generic affect 50 mi. last 1 day.

Mathyas is undoubtedly a pompous man, carrying such annoying mannerisms as insisting on being addressed as "Sir Mathyas" or "Lord Steele," bringing up his military experience with every chance he gets,, and traveling with a band of loyal followers who praise his every word and action. However, this does not make him an evil man. He is excessively friendly and trusting, which at times borders on sheer gullibility. He will almost always buddy up to someone or at least attempt to within five minutes of meeting them. Nonetheless he is by no means a "Choir boy" persay. He tends to drink too much, shoot his mouth off too often, and is quite a bit of a lech. Yet at the end of the day, there might be something about him that tells a person that he's an alright fellow. He usually hides his more sinful nature behind an air of nobility. He has quite a silver tongue, using it to charm and persuade people. Indeed he always tries to behave himself as a perfect gentlemen, and he expects no less from his fellow soldiers.

Mathyas claims to have had his weapons blessed by, "the most holy of priests who will ever walk this land." The righteous and honorable, "Father Duncan." Of course, whenever Mathyas drops his name at an attempt for some quick prestige, (which he tends to do often,) he seems to be the only one that has heard of this "Father Duncan," inciting the man to begin labeling those all around him heathens and philistines. Of course the reason for Father Duncan's obscurity is because in actuality, Father Duncan was a beggar who mugged a priest and put on his robes and was about to exit said priest's temple when none other than Mathyas showed up demanding to have a blessing put upon his axe and blade. When the arrogant ex-soldier offered money, the beggar kindly obliged. Of course this fact makes none of Mathyas's possesions magic or extraordinary in any way.

Regular sword, regular axe, sheath for sword, case for axe. Leather chest armor, leather belt with metal buckle, leather boots, cloth pants, black eyepatch. In small backpack: 20' of rope, Flint/Steel, various animal skins for sleep, flask, 2 months military food rations.

Mathyas Steele was born in Norwood as the son of a human soldier in the Norwood army, Cuthbert Steele. At a young age, Mathyas was prepped by his father for military training lasting into his teens and until he was ready serve in the Norwood army. However, in what his father saw as disgraceful, Mathyas never took his service completely seriously, opting for drinking and lusting after anything in a skirt with two legs. Of course he was a ferocious warrior which kept him in the army for awhile. However, even a great warrior can overstep his boundries when he beds a General's concubine. Mathyas would have been killed by the General himself had it not been for his father's intervention. However, it was agreed upon that Mathyas no longer deserved the priviledge of military rank and was dishonorably diacharged from the military and completely ousted from Norwood, however to save face, all parties involved said Mathyas left of his own accord. However, since he was a beloved soldier no matter how much of a fool he was, a group of his fellow soldiers and companions left their ranks to follow him out of Norwood. To this day, Mathyas and his companions have been traveling as a sort of mercernary troupe, and they have wandered into Elmshade Village with hopes of landing another job, which they have recently done. Mathyas and his fellow soldiers are now the new Elmshade Guard, with "Captain Steele" commanding them.
