[^^Truth]

Heya'll

The following campaign will start in 711 DR Faerun. About 600 years before usual play date. The PCs have been summoned by the Mouth of Velsharoon (Chosen of..), The Vaunted, the Archmage of Necormancy, the Lord of the Forsaken Crypt. God of Necromancy, Necromancers, Liches and Undeath. The start location is in the wild, unclaimed lands of Sembia, but will progress and see travel.

Rough time will be six or so sessions, depending on how things are going and how much people are liking things.

Below is the host of actors involved in the story. You can all choose freely from these, should any of you die during the story, you can take over whomever is left.

I'm putting in some names, but they can be changed without issue.

Duke Vorr
The pretender, the false, traitor of Wheloon, butcher of Nesmyth.

Chaotic Evil, Human

14th Blackguard (Treat fallen paladin as Blackguard with fallen paladin bonuses)

Strength : 21
Dexterity : 10
Constitution : 16
Intelligence : 13

Other : Duke Vorr has a unit of 20 elite undead knights.

Duke Vorr was a High Paladin of Cormyr and servant of Tyr. Ascended to nobility from merchant stock, through feats of arms and years of loyal service he became the one of most influential nobles in the realm.

With the king lacking a male heir, the Duke’s attentions became fixed on the eldest daughter of the Obraskyr line. When her hand was promised to a noble of higher birth Vorr attempted to lead a coup, which was a bloody failure. Condemned as a traitor the crown attempted his arrest and a bitter civil conflict ensued between the state and Vorrs' allies. The rebellion was crushed; one disloyal hamlet at a time, and the conspirators fell into ever more extreme methods of bolstering troop numbers, enlisting clerics of warped gods to animate the dead.

Vorr, now in exile, leads the battered remnants of his army, and dreams of revenge. He is influenced and aided by a powerful evil magical sword named "Lillaeril".

Personality : Calculating, vicious and vengeful.

Tanasi delved in to the dark arts from a young age, he worked his way through the Cormyrean mages guilds before eventually being thrown out due to necromantic practices and outcast from Cormyr, something he still boils over these days. Having become a lich of recent, Tanasi is being more careful than usual whilst experimenting with his new, unliving form.

Personality : Cold, calculating and completely immoral. Tanasi has virtually no morals, especially when it comes to his own personal necromantic experiments and magic in general and seeks to improve his personal power over all things. Tanasi has little respect for anyone that isn't a wizard and particularly hates sorcerers and other "false" mages.

Brought back from the dead by Velsharoon himself, she become the reverse of what is known to be elven and is a passionless form of herself. She holds a deep and dark hatred for dark elves.

Personality : Well spoken and timed, Mimira says what is needed, when it's needed and rarely speaks for the sake of speaking. She's intelligent and understands her power and the power of others well. Yet ultimately, she does not celebrate her undead form.

General Khan has virtually no respect for females, seeing them as nothing but child bearers, but DOES understand the power the "foreign sorcereresses" can muster.

Elvia was raised in a gods-fearing familiy, of which she abided by. She joined the clergy of Lathender and served well, until a fateful night when visited by a vampire valled Caldorn. Naturally he left changed and her dramatically with it, detached from the light, she soon dipped in to the shadows and when her village and family were slain by pillagers from Tuigan, she rescued her brother in the only way she could, bringing him to undeath with her.

Personality : Elvia is a fairly normally daleland girl, twisted by darkness. She hates the more cruel elements of what she is, but doesn't deny her ugres and needs. She acts relative common, unless required and could easily pass at most times as your next door neighbour... until the fangs come out.

Other : Istara has 5 proven dark elven assassins under her command along with one commander (Ryania).

Istara was born in to the intrigue and deadly Menzoberrazen. Having lost her family and noble birth as a child, she grew amongst the male assassins and mercenaries that spared her. Treated horrible by those that were underlings in society, Istara has grown to hate men more deeply than most. She has ventured to the surface looking for untapped wealth now that she has risen enough to have her own troupe and works for the highest bidder, morals aside.

Personality : Istrara is friendly, yet deadly. She will kill without a blink and will unlikely take an insult twice, especially from males, although females - her favoured sex - tend to get a second chance. Mercenary, careful and cautious can easily describe her, she won't commit to things clearly beyond herself, but will take risks for large benefit.
