Spiteblossom was awakened by a mighty archdruid to fulfil a world-saving prophecy, but a giant acorn dropped on the archdruid’s head the moment the ritual ended - wiping her memory and any sense of what Spiteblossom was actually meant to do.

Ylva grew up in the Feywild with a mother who did her best to steer her daughter’s increasingly fiery temper into something constructive - and martial arts ended up being the answer.

Kard was born into a hard, practical orc tribe, and from the moment he arrived with devil-touched features, everyone assumed he’d bring trouble. Instead of casting him out, the tribe marked him with white ritual tattoos meant to keep his path tied to the natural world.

When Glimmer Joygore fell, the sky burned. Her wings turned to cinders mid-descent, her halo melting into smoke. By the time she hit the ground, there was nothing left of heaven but the scars scorched into her back and a hole where her memory should be.

Edwin found the sword half-buried under an old bridge, its metal dull and ordinary. It didn’t speak to him until years later, when he drew it in a fight he had no business being in. Since then, the blade has pushed him toward bolder choices, convinced he’s meant for more.

Ned was the kind of mind that never stopped turning, even when everyone around him wished it would. He treated necromancy like a grand logic problem - bones, spirits, and death itself were all clues in a system waiting to be mapped.

Skrandlvarsh went to bed in his normal world and woke up somewhere completely different - a place of magic, monsters, and people with very dramatic backstories. Assuming it was just a dream, he decided to roll with it and made up the name Skrandlvarsh as a joke.

Krug isn’t out to wreck the world - just apathy, fake nobles, and anyone who insists halflings should stay small.

Born blind into a cursed vampire bloodline, Saul refused to accept darkness. Desperate for sight, he struck a pact with a genie who granted him sunlight’s embrace - but only at night could he see. Now he serves the genie’s hidden designs, chasing the promise of true vision.

Godric was raised in solitude by his mother, living a quiet life tending the land with no knowledge of his true heritage. Their days were simple but harsh, and though his mother showed him great love, she kept a guarded secret.

Boots started in the city’s backrooms as a runner for small-time crooks, quietly realising he was already thinking circles around the people bossing him around.

Miec was raised in a noble elven household where tradition mattered more than choice. His world shifted once the family’s head guard began training him and he discovered he was far more capable than anyone expected.

When Kaj discovered he could bend raw elements with sheer will, he took it as a sign that legends weren’t born, they were self-declared and then lived into. He travels now as a problem-solver and occasional chaos-starter, pulling fire from the air and metal from forgotten scrap.

Born in The Underdark beneath the Moonsea, K’Elley C’Larkson came into the world as the result of a scandal - a Drow matron’s fleeting fascination with a Halfling smuggler. Never fully accepted by either world, he learned early that cleverness keeps you fed better than pride.

Hailing from the Feywilds, Sarissa once served the Summer Court in an undisclosed role. To mortals, she may seem carefree and naive - a result of her unfamiliarity with mortal concerns, especially those involving modesty.

Yu hails from a quiet island of tortles who live by the tides and stories of dragons said to have shaped the seas. Unlike his kin, he sought proof rather than legend - chasing the traces dragons leave on the land itself.

Tarvald Steelfist grew up in Emerald Run - his talent for artifice earned him an apprenticeship under enchanter Beckenhower, who became both mentor and father figure. Inspired by Chand, Tarvald forged his arcane armor and was later sent to Cinderburg for the Eldersoul Festival.

Avalon was forged for conquest but tempered by faith - a relic of steel and fury given purpose. His emerald-scaled armor and black steel shield mark him as both guardian and executioner.

Known throughout the family for his string of failed ventures and overblown confidence, Antonius survived for years on charm and his late mother’s favouritism. But with her gone, that shield disappeared too.

Kalios learned early that laughter was a better mask than silence. Once a wandering musician among the revels of the Feywild, his songs caught the ear of a forgotten archfey - one who traded magic for memory.

Aloyd “Growing Darkness” Wentz is a young artificer with too much imagination and not nearly enough supervision. Donning a helmet that makes his voice deep and ominous, he unleashes his half-baked inventions upon Aridannos in the name of villainy.

Rukk was forged in the thin air of the Cloudspine Peaks, where storms roll like drums. From her youth she trained her lungs as fiercely as her arms - roaring during thunderstorms, daring the echoes to shout back louder.
